I'm glad I watched this one. If this person is correct, what we are up against isn't traditional right-wing ideology, it's nihilism. It's a desire for destruction as the in-crowd watches it all burn. It's just a big, meaningless joke. Charlie Kirk was part of traditional right-wing politics, the desire to influence society for a desired outcome in which white Christians are in control. The groypers or black-pillers or whatever they are, aren't ideological opponents of Kirk's right wing; they don't care about policy. They don't believe in anything except the inevitable collapse of everything. They are completely on-line, and their on-line world is as real to them as the physical world. It's scary but it explains some things that have never seemed to make much sense. We don't know for sure about Robinson's motivation but it seems to be relevant to that of Robin Westman, the Annunciation School shooter.
