      I haven’t seen any hard evidence he was a full-on leftist, but I haven’t seen any hard evidence he was maga either.

      From what I’ve seen, he was definitely left of his parents, but there’s a whole lot of different ideologies to the left of maga.

      I think the only way we’ll know for sure his ideology is if he says so.

                Someone who is scientifically illiterate to plead someone else’s argument is far less bad as being so ideologically blinded as to be incapable of accepting that ‘a’ thing was done by your tribe!

                  I once saw a guy on LSD running around the NYC streets in his underpants after a Shpongle concert back in '10. He made more sense than you do.

              What?

              You asked for statistics, and here are the statistics.

              And spiking a flat-earther isn’t the flex you think it is. I could probably spike a 2nd grader, but I wouldn’t brag about doing it.

                Statistics don’t give any evidence about the ideology of any particular shooting. The statistics say that around 20% are done by people on the left.

                That’s nowhere near close enough to confidently state Robinson wasn’t on the left.

                I could not comprehend why anyone would use that word there… Do you think it would be an intelligent thing to say that black people must be behind crime ‘a’ or say this crime, because statistically they commit more crime? Oh, but this nonsense must work in your proposition because its in favor of your rhetoric!

                That was not a flex, it was an insult :))

      /s?

      He was raised Mormon in a full MAGA family, and nearly all photos show him surrounded with rifles.

      He may have been confused, and I can buy he went libertarian, but if he was a leftist, I’ll eat my hat on camera.

              Here, I’ll post it again, since you seem to be a bit in need of coffee or something:

              Yes, statistically.

              Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.

              Want to claim the government and independent studies are fake again?

                  Because I spent the time to give you actual information and you’ve ignored it. I had enough respect to at least notice who I was talking to – I’m sorry you didn’t have the same courtesy. I didn’t even downvote you, though you’ve downvoted me.

                  Why should I respect your time and comments when you’ve proven you don’t respect mine?

                  eta: and where did I claim your source wasn’t from the BBC? I said it was irrelevant and wasn’t the link we were talking about at the time. You’re clearly not listening at all.

                  In fact, I’ve wasted too much time with you already. Don’t bother replying. Or if you do, enjoy shouting into the void.

          ‘More to the left’ of MAGA is not ‘leftist’, ffs. That whole family is deep MAGA, so more to the left isn’t even necessary centrist. Libertarian, maybe, or still far right, but thinks LGBTQ people might be people.

          Are you even paying attention? Do you think trans people, women, and immigrants deserve rights? Answer honestly.

              You said ‘leftist’, and you made claims about that based on what his grandmother said.

              I said coming from a MAGA family, ‘drifting left’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘leftist’. Compared to MAGA, ‘moving left’ can mean anything from libertarian to centrist. That’s not a claim, it’s calling you on your claim.

              We don’t yet know anything about him other than his family is MAGA and Mormon, so let’s not speculate what his beliefs are, eh?

                Mother, now now someone is even struggling with reading exerts from a source…

                Coming from a background is almost as weak sauce as your statistics argument

                Aaaaaaah, so now we go from he is ‘right wing ‘to lets not speculate… If we go by facts researched provided by an actually neutral party, that of the british national news source, we can only assume that he was left leaning and by his action that he is an extremist! Just because he did something you actually don’t disagree with I reckon, but is disadvantageous for your group does not give you the right to decide his political beliefs

      There’s a thing called “Poe’s Law” that states “without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.”

      So your “joke” relies on the idea that zero rightwing nutjobs will read it as encouragement. Which is just highly unlikely.

      It’s very difficult to joke about extremism online because there’ll almost always be extremists who take it as encouragement. To them, you’re indistinguishable from any other MAGA supporter.

        Its not a joke, on the information available to us I am led to believe that he was a leftist!

        What they have in the Us, in terms of political ideologies, cannot be considered leftism by an stretch of the word! Alas, I would have no insecurities if one of my tribesmen were to do something I disagree with

          So you’re on the other end of Poe’s law, an extremist with an incoherent viewpoint.

            Its extremism to believe that a person on whom all information available points to him leaning to left being someone who leans to the left… I reckon I am an extremist

              “All information available” is apparently one BBC article that you keep posting over and over, while calling numerous articles and studies on the ideology of most domestic terrorists “made up,” and the conclusions you draw from your one single source an “assumption.” Gosh that’s some irrefutable evidence you’ve got there chief. 🙄
