One of these things it not like the others.
Yeah, Luigi’s innocent. He was with me the whole time
Are they all transitioning to alpha maga?
Pretty sure luigi is the only one who’d smoke in that group.
Everyone else seems like a bad time.
Mormons will surprise you there, they’ll smoke a blunt while telling you why God doesn’t want them to drink caffeinated soda.
Kinda like how my buddy who grew up in rural Lancaster, PA said the Amish kids always grew the best weed.
If it’s plain weed as the lord provides and they’re industrious and plain folk there’s no reason not to unless the charter forbids it
I can only imagine if there’s nothing to do but build barns and agriculture, you’d be damn good at both.
I used to travel for work and had a couple of rather nice hook-ups with some Utah Mormon guys. Magic underwear and everything.
ETA: Also a guy here. May be relevant context.
Not usually, but yeah, in this context.
Now I want to read up on “magic underwear”,but I’m a little scared to Google it…
Temple Garment is the technical name for it.
I’ve always referred to them as Jesus Jumpers
How do you stop a mormon from drinking all your beer?
Invite two of them.
I had a friend who would say awkward situations were “worse than Mormons making eye contact at the liquor store,” so that tracks lol
Well only one of them has a confirmed Github account, no point in talking to the others.
Trash ass roto
I’d only pass it to Luigi
No, the new guy doesnt get a hit because he killed a Nazi, hes a Nazi himself.
You mean Tyler Robinson? Everything I’ve read says he’s an anti-facist. Am I missing something?
Tyler is a Groyper. Look that shit up. An opposing right wing gang to TPUSA.
I can’t find anything linking him to the movement except for a picture of him wearing a meme Halloween costume and a whole lot of wild speculation.
I’m not saying he isn’t part of far right subculture, but there’s way more available evidence at this time that points to him being anti-fascist.
Long Ass Edit: Post Deep Dive.
Alright.
Messages on gun casings: A lot of news sources are saying, by varying degrees, these are associated with Groypers.
Groypers use memes to obfuscate and soften their horrible, horrible views. I ran searches on symbols of the groyper movement, only looking for results posted more than a week ago. None of those phrases were noted as part of the movement or culture - except in one suspiciously post-edited article that mentioned only the messages on the bullet casings without providing references, despite having citations for everything else in the article. I’m not inferring anything nefarious from that, just pointing it out.
There are more iconic symbols of the movement: The groyper toad, pit vipers, swastikas, that weren’t used. However, since Groypers have been largely deplatformed their culture is even more obscure and hard to pin down. I acknowledge it would be difficult to find what might be inside jokes.
Bella Ciao is more difficult to pin down because it’s become popular again an both an ironic and an anti-facist message. It could go both ways.
All I can tell is that he was into memes.
The Halloween Costume: It’s (potentially) a pepe and it’s from 2018. I’m not even going to analyse this.
He was into guns: Not a good point for either side. He hunted. And guns are fun for everyone (as long as they’re regulated and operated safely.)
No one seems to know what the hell Tyler Robinson believed: He’s described as “political” by his family and “MAGA” by his grandma (who said their whole family is MAGA) without any specific examples. His online presence is null.
He was a registered non voter with no affiliation. Important to note here that Nick Fuentes called on his followers not to vote in recent election. But there are plenty of reasons someone might not vote.
A mysteriously anonymous letter from a “friend” was posted and later redacted by The Guardian, claiming he was left wing. Other second hand anecdotes say he was progressive. He supposedly donated money to Trump, but that was (I think?) discredited as someone else with the same name. He apparently hated Charlie Kirk, but that could go both ways.
Conclusion: I don’t fucking know. With partisan politics controlling media, half want him to be a socialist and the other half want him be a right wing extremist. There’s a lot of weak evidence pointing to a right wing extremist which could solidify in the coming days, and I’m open to that. I can see this swinging the other way, too.
I could see debating forever and never really understanding why he did it.
Personally, I’m going to keep a eye out for clear citations linking the messages to any movement if nothing else comes out about his motives. Until then I’m not convinced either way.
He was a registered non voter with no affiliation
in utah that means right wing to far right wing
The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend
Bella ciao is played in a scene of sniper elite, and could well just be a game the shooter enjoyed honestly.
It’s also a dlc song for Hearts of Iron 4, which in and of itself isn’t a game that promotes fascism but there is a weird far-right subculture that does use it to praise stuff like Nazi Germany.
Who’s top left?
I forget his name. Guy who capped the Minnesota dem state reps.
Why does he just look right wing? Maybe it’s the haircut?
Cop vibes
Chatting about video games seems to be the best chance at having a fun convo that doesn’t turn into dehumanizing groups of people. If we can pull that off, given Luigi’s supposed internship at Firaxis, the rotation could scrape by a passable 7/10.
More realistically, a 2 or 3/10 if the weed is really good. Otherwise I don’t know if I would even bother.
Nah, the right wing crazies constantly bitch and moan about how all the games are woke now.
It’s insufferable.
Is it that one of them achieved the goal?
Gonna need y’all to clue me into the three that aren’t Luigi
Bottom left is the Trump shooter, bottom right the alleged Kirk shooter. No clue who the upper left dude is
The guy who killed George Floyd I think. Terrible rotation. Someone there would definitely slobber on the blunt.
I could be wrong but I don’t think so, this is the mugshots CNN had in this article https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/03/us/george-floyd-officers-charges/index.html
He’s the one that killed the state representatives.
Of course people don’t know about the MAGA guy who killed a Dem lawmaker and her husband, shot others and was on his way to kill more on his list of 70 people. Really shows the right’s grip on the media.
It’s interesting you point that out. It seems it shows the grip of Reddit and Lemmy as well. Since I am not in the US I am not in touch with their regular news outlets and media. I’ve never seen the Dem shooter before. Somehow he wasn’t that talked about.
Bottom right actually looks like one of trump’s shaved sons.
This rotation sucks. I’d just choose to stay sober.
