Magats like to throw insults, but very often it is evident that they do not understand what the words they use, actually mean.
“Fascist”, “Communist”, “Socialist” are all examples of “insults” I’ve been called by obvious magats.
I don’t think they understand what TDS is either, even though they all have terminal cases of it.
In general, I don’t think magats understand much of anything at all.
Yeah, but quoting an antifascist song and writing “hey fascist, catch” on your bullets is one of those things that feels suggestive of the rarer lefty shooter. There was also something initially reported as pro-trans symbolism, but it didn’t sound like a trans symbol I’d seen before.
suggestive being the alarmingly prevalent word here…
We aren’t playing Clue here, all this extremely extrapolative speculation has consequences that point toward accelerating violence and isn’t good for anyone in the end.
True, but i still don’t see how it can’t be a game reference and a label applied to Kirk.
I don’t see how somebody, who is right wing themselves, would use this. But it makes perfect sense if the shooter was left.
Groypers and always online fascists co-opt left language and I see them call other nazis fascists derisively. I will bet you ten thousand dollars there will be no sign the shooter was leftist in any way.
Wouldn’t the bullet that called Kirk a fascist be an indicator of a possible left position held by the shooter?

I mean, anybody can throw the word “fascism” out there and a wide variety of people purport to hate fascism so shrugs maybe but probably not.

It’s a groyper thing, which also a traditionally rightist thing. Steal leftist terminology and reuse it to troll leftists and confuse everyone else.

My understanding is that it’s a Helldivers 2 reference, so not necessarily.

Super Earth calls the bugs fascist in game in spite of being fascist.
