    Some really mind bending shit on r/conservative right now. Apparently the guardian posted and retracted some horseshit from a liar claiming to know Robinson and that he was a leftist. Conveniently none of the conservative dipshits noticed the retraction at the top:

    Editor’s note: This article was updated on 12 September 2025 to remove quotes after the verified source who attended high school with Tyler Robinson said after publication that they could not accurately remember details of their relationship

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/12/suspect-charlie-kirk-shooting

    At least I’m assuming the editor’s note means they removed the quotes the conservatives posted. Either that or they posted a fake screenshot.

      on r/conservative

      I check into that sub every now and then to remind myself of what mental illness looks like.

        It’s not mental illness, it’s just an echo chamber. I also visit it from time to time to question if the content I consume suffers from the same problem.

        I’m just interested in the truth of it. People are jumping to conclusions, but definitely conservatives more so. I suspect that deep down they know almost all political violence comes from their side, though they somehow deny that fact.

        Wouldn’t surprise me at all if the person who lied to the guardian was just a far right person hoping to help their narrative

        Cool sorry brother, let’s stick to the fact that the assassin was a MAGAt.
