The dearth of information about Robinson's political views has suggested to some researchers of online culture and shootings that there may not, in fact, be much more to Robinson's alleged violence than a single-issue grievance. They say that one particular piece of information shared in the charging document lends support to this theory.
OpEd - PERSPECTIVE: The Real Threat to Democracy Isn't One Act of Violence. It's Our Reaction
www.hstoday.us
... The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a jarring, deeply painful moment for the country"no matter where you fall on the political spectrum. Tragedy invites emotion. That's human.
But history warns us: the greater threat to our democracy often isn't the act of one individual -- it's how the rest of us respond.
"If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher."
-- Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln knew that America's undoing wouldn't come at the hands of a foreign army -- it would come from within. From division. From fury masquerading as justice. From mobs who believe their cause is righteous enough to burn the rules down.
"There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law."
-- Lincoln again
In the days of Lincoln, a mob meant fire in the streets.
Today, it can mean fire online"viral outrage that moves faster than facts, punishes with no due process, and multiplies the worst instincts of the crowd.
The digital mob doesn't need torches. A trending hashtag can destroy reputations, fuel conspiracy theories, or incite real-world violence in a matter of hours.
In many ways, it's more dangerous than a mob in the square"because it feels bloodless, distant, and justified.
The Founders saw this coming in their own way.
"Liberty is to faction what air is to fire ... "
-- James Madison, Federalist No. 10
They knew that freedom would naturally give rise to conflict"and that's not a flaw, it's the design. But when factionalism is fed by unchecked emotion and echo chambers, it turns combustible. The purpose of our Constitution was to contain those flames"not fan them.
Even George Washington, in his Farewell Address, warned that the endless back-and-forth domination of opposing factions could rot a republic from the inside. He called it what it was: a "frightful despotism."
This is not a moment for escalation, for vengeance, or for gleeful tribal score-settling.
That's not justice. That's collapse. ...
Suspected Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson used Trump's name as a pseudonym on Valve Corp.'s Steam video-game platform, a fact that's become part of a profile US law enforcement is building on the alleged assailant
Wow, that site sounds like a cesspool hate and violence:
Senator Urges Valve to Address Extremist, Hateful' Content on Steamwww.pcmag.com
Updated November 17, 2024
Sen. Mark Warner says lax enforcement of rules by social media platforms leads to toxic social environments that elevate harassment and abuse.'
Senator Mark Warner has urged leadership at Valve to respond to allegations that 1.8 million pieces of extremist or hateful content have been identified on gaming platform Steam.
In a recent report, the ADL's Center on Extremism (COE) claims to have identified 1.5 million unique users and over 73,000 groups who used at least one piece of potentially extremist or hateful content.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization founded to combat antisemitism and other forms of discrimination, claims it included more than 458 million profiles, 152 million profile and group avatar images, and 610 million comments in its dataset.
Pepe the Frog and swastikas are allegedly the most common extremist symbols spreading on the platform, accounting for 54.6% and 9.1% of the detected symbols, respectively.
The ADL claims it also identified 15,000 public accounts using symbols from ISIS, Hezbollah, and Hamas in their profile pics. The group also claims to have identified "hundreds of accounts" using images of terrorist attackers like Anders Breivik, who killed 69 people in an attack on a summer camp in Norway in 2011.
The organization also highlighted cases of users posting extremism-linked content on Steam before committing attacks of real-life violence, such as an 18-year-old white supremacist who attacked a cafe in Turkey in August. In addition, it found 18,352 groups that had potentially extremist or hateful keywords on their group profiles, such as "shekel" and "white power."
"It cute you three are doing the chinese fire-drill about a forum I told you about the afternoon of the assassination 8 days ago."
I remember asking you for a link:
"the Feds are scraping the Discord network of Transgenders servers in UVU area. Many of them posted days before about something happening, with a "grin".
