*Oop. After MAGA-ites immediately blamed Democrats for the Charlie Kirk killing, now comes new evidence that connects Tyler Robinson, the accused killer of Kirk, to far-right extremist Nick Fuentes and his Groyper movement.
Investigators say digital forensics confirms Robinson consumed content from Fuentes and echoed his anti-Kirk rhetoric online.
On his Discord and social media accounts, Robinson shared Groyper memes, labeled Kirk a Zionist sellout, and praised Fuentes purity tests for conservatism. These tests often attack mainstream conservatives as weak or fake.

Yours makes far more sense.
Me? I still think it was an inside job.

Who ordered the hit remains to be seen. Whether it was Fuentes, Crowder, or someone sinister, the truth will be known.

I have no doubt this is true but nobody will take the word of a site like this seriously.

(25,740 posts)It is all about criminal gangs running the same hustle, destroying their competition and consolidating their power.
This is more akin to the St Valentine's Day Massacre than to any political assassination.

(525 posts)I have read every theory and contrasting bits of information "from sources" under the sun on this incident, I don't know how I'll ever believe internet news again. And where does that leave me? Having to rely on the big networks for information? Ha! We are in a post fact society and it's so disconcerting.
For what it's worth (not much), I personally lean towards a Groyper general internet brain rot mixed with familial gun culture as the explanation... but that's just a guess.

(662 posts)This is probably the most likely explanation. His family says he became more political over time. He likely self-radicalized by spending excessive time reading Groyper content. Then there are the facts that he was raised in gun culture and MAGA. That MAGA foundation made it easier for him to cross over into Groyper territory.
As far as the news media in the US goes, I think a big (maybe the main) part of it is the recklessness caused by rushing to beat each other with breaking news.

(17,728 posts)You have to hand it to the GOP. Even here on DU, it sure has kicked the Epstein story off the radar.
I have no idea who Fuentes is, what Groyper is, who Charlie Kirk was (up until the killing), or what political leanings the killer had or who he lived with, but Stephen Miller and his ilk are milking this for all it's worth.
