Whatever Tyler Robinson’s personal beliefs were is irrelevant
I hate that they have us playing this game, we can agree that murder is wrong without venerating Charlie Kirk and without throwing a group of people under the bus, because if we wanted to play that game… well we don’t need Tyler Robinson.
But, of course, none of that really matters because it’s not really about who’s right or wrong. It’s about them having an excuse to kill people they disagree with.
Conservatism is always about giving people an other, and in this case the other is defined as anyone who stands in their way, and they’re pointing them at us with a gun.
Because at the end of the day the only real Us and Them is the rich and the poor and they know it so they keep us busy fighting a culture war so we don’t fight the class war.
The right has the same charts showing left wing violence dominating. I think both are disengenuous. Statistics are a bitch, they’ll fuck whoever you want them to.
I suppose thats why lying their ass off works. It’s not even close but enough folks will shrug and say it must be both sides. The facts don’t matter when nobody will check a source.

What happened in 2016?
There are people who legitimately look at a chart like that and think, “hmm, yes, both sides are doing it.”
his beliefs is totally relevant as are may of the shooters in america. as many of them are super-alt right.
