People will be learning a lot about Helldivers 2, Groypers and Nick Fuentes. Republicans will have to look in the mirror. America will as well. "One of us"

So he’s not a tranny? Not a Democrat? Not a left wing lunatic? Hmmm? It should be interesting to see how the right/MAGA crowd will try twisting this story to demonized the left. Or they’ll just go on to their next conspiracy theory cuz that is all they have. They are loser/victims.
Of course they should, but they won’t. They’ll use ignorance as denialism.
Is that confirmed? Everything I’ve seen points to incoherent ideology.
Still in the research phase.
were kinda just forcing this lol. Best to create infighting on their side. Its what the fascists would do to us.
Do we have an article on it yet?
Republicans will perform mental gymnastics to avoid reality.
Look in a mirror, lol. He’s going to be ”troubled” or “going through a hard time.” Anything to NOT look at the culture they are creating.
so…not “radical leftist scum” then?
Yeah but Hillary’s emails?
That’s optimistic.
Republicans have needed to look in the mirror for a long time now. And some of them do, but their eyes don't seem to be able to process what is is they're looking at.
I had not heard of groypers. I read about them but still don't understand, how are they antisemitic if they are fighting antisemitism? I seemed to read both things, people with names like Shapiro but articles saying that they hate Israel and the money the US gives them. Make it make sense. lol
White(right) on Right(white) violence as they eat each other.
I hope you are correct, but I fear the narrative has already been established for many people. I can't imagine the average American wrapping their head around what a Groyper is; that's just too online for them. Also, Republicans will never look in the mirror.
The funniest thing is that Helldivers is a fucking satire of the American military industrial complex in the same way Starship Troopers was (is). The game is *literally* making fun of Republican corporate military values.
White conservatives will never look in the mirror. This will become a story of a disenfranchised or isolated young man who lost his way in our modern world.
Have to???
I have to catch up... where did Helldivers show up?
From what was written on the bullets.
ah I see. I found an article. Yeah, up, right, down, down, down is Eagle Airstrike in that game. No idea how people decided that was transgender ideology. That's insane. The Konami code isn't safe either, I guess.
Apparently he engraved the control scheme for calling down a 500kg bomb on a casing. That was "the strange arrows" that the Right thought was "Transgender ideology"
Helldivers 2 is NOT owned by these crazy fucks. It's a satirization of fascists!
And a good game filled with these fools lately.
And Bella Ciao was included with Hearts of Iron IV.
Where oh where is Nancy Mace??🤔
I'm just thankful that there are so many others digging for information, so the FBI etc can't hide the truth, if it's not to their liking.
I mean you know they are either going to keep lying about him being a leftists, or they will just focus on banning video games.
video games are not the problem, numbuts
youtu.be/l8nsgzwuc_o?...
So the so-called Civil War they keep wanting is between the alt-right and the alt-right-lite?
Republicans will not ever look in the mirror.
They are poisoning the minds with the youth. Worldwide. Stop these radical idiots.
They’re praying for him now They will never reflect on how this boy was groomed for violence
Oh they look in the mirror. They don't see reality. They see perfection, gods chosen, the righteousness of their hatred. Facts have never entered their sphere of life & never will. Their world is clouded in cult aura & catch phrases to make them feel superior & never wrong about a thing.
Trump: "Who is Charlie Kirk? Barely knew the guy..." (of course he has trouble remembering anything these days)
We need to put some brakes on the internet, or it will destroy us.
Nah, we need to blame this on their side before the fascists use it as propaganda against us
I haven't seen any media mention Groypers, I'm not sure they will...
We never truly found out why OJ killed Nicole after years and years of fine tooth combing the case, but the WSJ can apply a motive in 2 hours to a case without a suspect.
Because she left him to be with Ron, who he also killed
Sigh, it was an illustrative point to have a dig at the WSJ’s recklessness. I used the word ‘truly’ - he was acquitted so nobody established a motive well enough to even convict him.
You don't need a motive to prosecute someone, sure it helps, but it's not a requirement.
We are in the strange place now where liberals are the only ones doing podcasts remembering Charlie Kirk.
I, for one, am shocked, *SHOCKED* I say, to learn a Helldivers 2 player had right-wing political views. I can't imagine what about that game could've possibly brought a 20-something like him into playing it so much as to be 'in' on common memes from it.
yeah, I'm starting to worry a bit...what if he was an anti-fascist after all. Helldivers, ciao...it all definitely points anti fascist.
Nah. It'll get swept under the rug by all those who were calling to round up anyone who didn't agree with them because of it and in a day or two it'll be out of the headlines.
Everyone needs to read that book.
At least Helldivers is a satire, let’s not demonize the game guys
Once again the extreme right commenters were wrong about everything, and once again some alt-right influencer will coerce them into falling in behind a new narrative, where dems are to blame for a republican killing a republican.
The official GOP response is going to be I didn’t like the reasons so I’m gonna no comment it like RW always does when it doesn’t fit their narrative
Nope. They'll find a way not to. Probably 'mental illness '
Not sure there will be a lot of self-reflection happening in certain circles. bsky.app/profile/thet...
Oh, they’re gonna jump on the video games radicalized him soapbox aren’t they?
Who can forget dinner with Pepe but I didn't know it was Pepe.
Did I miss something tying the shooter to Fuentes and Groypers?
were kinda just forcing this lol. Best to create infighting on their side. Its what the fascists would do to us.
I promise you not a single republican will look in the mirror. They will continue to say he was a radical lefty who was taking estrogen or something. We’re dealing with a cult here
Groypers are a loose network of white nationalist, far-right activists, and internet trolls. They follow/support Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist podcaster and organizer who founded the America First movement. The movement is aimed at bringing white nationalist ideas into mainstream conservatism.
Helldivers 2 Join forces to wreak havoc on an alien scourge threatening the safety of your home planet, Super Earth, in this multiplayer co-op shooter. An elite class of soldiers whose mission is to spread peace, liberty and Managed Democracy.
Can you clarify this for me because my son plays Helldivers all the time with his friends. Are you separating the two associations?
The game is satire, basically it’s starship troopers. having a conversation with your kids about their ideology is always a good idea, but people acting like video games are turning your kids into alt right shooters. Is dumb af We have been here before.
For whatever it’s worth, my interpretation of the game is that it’s similar to the Star Troopers film in that it’s aggressively sarcastic, and not an endorsement of fascism. 🤷🏻♂️
Which has been gleefully appropriated by the actual fascists.
Should maybe have anticipated that, unfortunately.
Not separating, just providing context to the post.
Republicans don’t know how to self reflect.
Lol, no, they will not "look in the mirror". They will continue to blame "The Left", video games, mental illness, TikTok, etc
story will get buried quickly and Trump will double down on the Radical leftists narrative.
The groups you mention have historically shown no capacity for introspection. I remain skeptical. But willing to move forward in a world where the murder of Charlie Kirk was the thing that got everyone to wake up.
And the message MSM will take from it its the,fault of video games
People should be learning about it, but this guy will be memory-holed tout de suite by maga rouge & the red hatters. Does anyone remember the ear shooter's name?
Even though I consider myself informed on political matters around the world, I must be living in my own bubble. I’ve never heard of Helldivers 2 and just found out about Groypers earlier today. What a world we live in where each of these right wing group sounds worse than the other 😢
Well. Helldivers 2 is really just a video game. It's a game based on starship troopers without the name. Too bad it'll get wrapped up in this conversation about white nationalist.
Learn it from what? Every major outlet is calling this an antifa ideology. Not one has connected the shooter to groypers. Not even a hint of a suggestion.
No one will learn anything. The system requires that they stay ignorant and their respected ideologies demand the same. They have no incentive to learn or to inspect their biases, their hate.
