In reply to the discussion: How do we know he was a Groyper? [View all]haele
(15,013 posts)47. Partially his social media and the particular online gaming community he was part of
A lot of the terms he was using the past couple years were Groyper. He also apparently trashed Kirk a lot.
This whole situation is a dead-ender purity pissing contest. The "Conservatives" think they have it in the bag (which they might, it's pretty much on a knife edge right now due to the Supreme Court and greedy political cowards). So now, they begin the purges and pogroms.
That's why I have always hate the Democratic party purity posturing that's gone on since the 60's. Yes, it was a reaction to LBJ and Vietnam, but it's morphed into a selfish, simplistic, immature worldview that doesn't care about Democracy.

Same reason everyone else was vested in proving he wasn't a leftist: I want the truth.

AI confirmed. Somehow AI knows about all the weird little nooks and crevices out there.
