Comment on I Got This Right, Right?
Grimy@lemmy.world 5 hours agoKind of feels like the right invents their own truth and constantly does mental gymnastics. Now we are doing it? The media talked about goypher for a day and everybody jumped on it.

How are “we” doing mental gymnastics here?

Thinking this guy is right wing just because his dad is and assuming he “ironically” wrote an anti fascist song lyric on the bullet.
The media mentioned goypher once and everyone jumped on the band wagon without asking any questions.
At least the CIA nipped this Luigi before it could grow.

jumping on the band wagon without any questions… like the whole trans rhetoric on a bullet. the bullets engravings are memes and I doubt there was much thought put into them beyond being ‘for the lulz’ or some other edgelord bullshit as would be expected of a 4channer

That’s a bit my point, both sides are exhibiting the same energy at the moment. I thought Lemmy would be a bit more critical, especially since I figure it’s users are more resistant to rhetoric and blatant manipulation.
At this point, I think even if the shooter came out and publicly declared his ideology, anybody that “guessed” wrong during these last week wouldn’t believe him.
Seems blatant to me, I’m surprised no one seems to be mentioning it.

Interesting. I hadn’t even considered that.
