"Weirdest story ever" = Nazi shooting a bunch of people and leaving a Nazi manifesto
"how could we have predicted this" says internet fascists who use Twitter exclusively to complain about the existence of black people
What's the point of the psyop if it is one. Is it to convince people that... nazis are bad?
:frothingfash: NOOOooo! I said it's a psyop! That eliminates all causes and effects and you aren't allowed to ask questions or think about it after that!
It is strategy of tension psyop to justify the Democrat communists taking away our rights and create a police state!
there's a lot of gun enthusiasts who think - or at least, pretend to think - that mass shootings are all fake, with "crisis actors", for the purpose of whipping up anti-gun sentiment
media contagion for mass shootings is well documented and makes a much better conspiracy theory. the state could just tell the media to amp up reporting of mass shootings, which would encourage more mass shootings, in a vicious cycle.
The thing that gets me about the crisis actor believers is that they don't want to believe that law enforcement like the FBI knows these shooters exist and eggs them on, and actual people die because of it. Easier to think it's all fake than actual people are dying and their government doesn't care
Really feel for fascist lunatics that decide to do some praxis only to get labeled as secret antifa or federal agents because the right loves racism but doesn't like it when racists shoot little kids in the face.
It wa s really funny watching parler on Jan 6 seeing half the posts being people calling it an psyop and the other half being people posting their photos from inside the capital
Or that nutso that attack Pelosi's husband only to be called his gay lover and a gigolo.
Oh god I had COMPLETELY forgotten about that.
The hell world is helling too much.
it doesn't hate life, it hates good in life. they genuinely want as many enemies to face churned out as possible. There's a reason they seem to focus on insect imagery, they want a bunch of lives to destroy in a hive. They want life constantly spawning to be destroyed. And they want that life to be in misery, drudgery, despair. That's why their countries have factories consuming all of nature's beauty and destroying the lives of the peoples they kill and the people in their own cities. They poison millions because they must gain more money, torture thousands to secure a few resources. Life must contain some pain, but their goal is to make it endless, eternal, all that life is. a spider dangling over a fire.
The great joy we share as leftists is not just creating more life, but increasing the good in life. Fresh air and clean water, beautiful outdoors and well-constructed cities, lives lived with as little deprivation as possible. There will still be suffering, as that is part of life, but the unnecessary suffering which comes with wars of conquest, hoarding of food, desecration of nature, and abuse through hierarchies will be ended. I am a communist in the goal of all medicine going to the sick, all clothes to the naked, and all homes to the homeless.
Once again referencing Dan Olson's video about Flat Earth/QAnon where he said something along the lines of "QAnon is not an attempt to explain the world, it is an attempt to un-explain it." This is a perfect example of that.
I see people on the left do this too sometimes, although not to this extent. The world is insanely complicated and events happen as a result of millions of independent factors, which yes, can make for really convoluted and seemingly contradictory explanations sometimes. "It's a psyop" is a much simpler explanation because it takes away all these annoying, complicated outside factors and points its finger at a single, ominous shadow cabal that pulls the strings in the background. "It happened because a very powerful outside entity consciously decided to make it so" is the same line of argument used for creationism, it's very hard to disprove, internally sound and much easier to argue for than argue against.
This is why I hate calling anything a psyop, even though I'm aware that they do in fact really happen sometimes. It's conspiratorial thinking that enables ignorance to the many complexities and intricacies that shape the world and explain why things are the way they are in favor of a cheap & easy non-explanation that can be applied to literally anything.
Yeah I feel that reactionary thought falls into magical thinking more often (being a prerequisite for deliberately ignoring the systemic issues of capital), though the left can also be vulnerable to it (LaRouche and Rouchites, Jim Jones can also be seen as a pseudo example). Still this is a big issue of macroscale versus micro and how it is commonly accurate to apply outcomes to systems (i.e. capitalism makes things pretty shit y'all) and is not creating a conspiracy, versus having psyop as your go to in a diatribe to explain how an individual is not connected to your political ideologue because "insert weird as shit series of events". Also I hate using occam's razor but I feel it is a good tool to also ask a simple question "what's the benefit for this psyop versus this just being another radicalized violent young guy among a string of radicalized violent young men?"
It really pisses me off how these walking bags of fertilizer gaslight us when we point out that Robert evans and other freaks are CIA cutouts but as soon it becomes convenient they regurgitate our criticisms.
I don’t expect better from them, but it’s still infuriating.
I used to think reactionaries had it easy. They just have to hate anything not white and not straight. Easy. Make up any other nonsense to go along with it because no one cares. If someone calls you out just call them unamerican or woke or whatever. Easy.
Now here they are twisting themselves into knots worried about FBI transmissions into their teeth because the Nazi with the swastika tattoo actually is a murdering nazi
Guys like the texas shooter are like the trashcan man to elon's nazi randall flagg.
Currently praying to Maturin the Turtle to send us a leftist Roland :turtle-pogger:
Oh, they still have it very easy. People still believe them anyway.
Ignorance is bliss, and truth is a democracy.
Im aware that some chuds think everything that makes their side look bad is a psyop but isnt there also a subset of them that either doesnt care for the fallout of their worldview or worse actively takes pleasure in it. Like im sure some chuds are foxnews-brained but some of them are totally aware of whats happening and are fine with it. Which brings me to my point Nazis that shootup places are still viewed as "heroes" or "martyrs" by some of the monstrous troglodytes that live in the rightwing spectrum. So while they cant openly cherish school shooters they certainly do so in secret or when they are with other nazis.
A lot of leftists are open about wanting to eat the rich but the right/fash always pretend to be innocent smol beans.
And then they call the left or even liberals condescending smuglords.
These guys are going to unironically do the James Adomian's Gorka line
"Do you consider something as skin-deep and surface level as a series of tattoos to represent a 'deep tie to fascism'?"
:my-hero: :solidarity: :hexbear-retro:
. . . . . .Bellingcat are feds. . . . . .
Bellingcat are feds, but most of their domestic fed shit focuses on assuaging radlibs that our government is good and progressive. They don't have to lie about this particular stuff, because it just kinda happens and fits right into their narrative.
if you mean the Allen Texas mall shooter, yeah, covering his entire bicep
you are now reading the second paragraph in felix's elon voice
I can taste the murder in my mouth
It has the flavor of an afrikaner failson
This is the same shit that Alex Jones owes a billion court ordered dollars for doing
