Lukium: First, you brand your opponents as wicked, malicious, soulless. You tell the public they're "radicalized people," "terrorists," a "wicked ideology." You convince your followers that the very existence of the opposition is a mortal threat to family, to faith, to civilization itself. And there is only one final stop on that train. Dehumanization always has the same destination: extermination. read more

It's almost as if the entire theme of that expansion is... anti-fascist. Like Helldivers. Up Right Down Down Down.

Food for thought:
"The gut reaction is to assume that, oh, if he's etching 'Bella Ciao' on a shell casing, he must be anti-fascist, he must sort of have these anti-fascist tendencies," said Michael Senters, a Ph.D. candidate at Virginia Tech's ASPECT program, who focuses on the translation of online culture into real world politics. "But with so many things online, he could have come across Bella Ciao in any number of other instances."
Senters says that the song has been featured in a number of gaming-related contexts, including the video game Far Cry 6, the soundtrack for the game Hearts of Iron IV and a version has even appeared on a Spotify playlist for a far-right group that has, in the past, had tension with Kirk. But Senters and other researchers say they have seen no evidence, so far, tying Robinson to that group.
Similarly, Senters and others say the casing engraved with "Hey Fascist! Catch!" and arrows, is rooted in video game culture, and not indicative of any political or ideological background. The arrows, Chandler said, refer to a code sequence that players of the game Helldivers 2 can use to call down a 500-kg bomb. He said that code sequence has, itself, become a meme.
"The reason it's kind of a popular meme in the Helldivers 2 community is it is very, very easy to accidentally kill your friends in that game, and it's one of the real funny ways to do it," Chandler said. "Like, 'Oh, no, I got hit and I dropped the little beacon that I was supposed to throw. And now there's a half ton bomb dropping on us. Sorry, guys.'"
Chandler said that the earlier part of that shell casing's engraving, "Hey Fascist! Catch!" is a meme within the Helldivers 2 community talking about shooting robots. He said his assessment is that this, paired with the arrow sequence meme, render any possible political angle to the message "inconclusive."

"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".

I'm still waiting for it.
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."
I'd say he was pretty cavalier about the it, emphasis mine:
In a June 8, 2024, episode of his podcast (at around the 1:00:00 mark), Kirk reacted to Accurso posting a video in which she cited Bible scripture to explain why she had wished a "Happy Pride" that month to people in the LGBTQ+ community.www.factcheck.org
"My faith is really important to me, and it's also one reason why I love every neighbor," she said in her video. "In Matthew 22, a religious teacher asked Jesus, what's the most important commandment? And Jesus says, to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself.'" "It doesn't say love every neighbor except," she went on to say.
In his reply, Kirk said Accurso left out something else the Bible says. "She's not totally wrong," Kirk said. "The first part is Deuteronomy 6:3"5. The second part is Leviticus 19. So you love God, so you must love his law. How do you love somebody? You love them by telling them the truth, not by confirming or affirming their sin."
He continued: "And it says, by the way, Ms. Rachel, might want to crack open that Bible of yours, in a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture is in Leviticus 18, is that thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death. Just saying. So, Ms. Rachel, you quote Leviticus 19, love your neighbor as yourself. The chapter before affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters."
;FBI Readies New War on Trans People"
Trump and the GOP need enemies. Illegal immigrants are one, and they are paying a heavy price in Trump's America. Trans people are another, and they are about to pay a heavy price in Trump's America. There aren't that many trans people in this country, so they won't be a viable enemy for long. No new illegal immigrants are coming into this country, so at some point they will run out of them as a viable enemy as well. That's why they have to start ramping up their attacks against Antifa, the radical left, but there aren't a lot of them around either, so they are already expanding the enemy list to include Democrats and liberals in general and what they are refer to as liberal ideology, which in Trump's America is the root of all evil. Literally. They are coming for the journalists and the comedians. They are coming for the scientest and the college professors and teachers. They are coming for the lawyers and the judges, and it won't be long before they are coming for the doctors and nurses. I expect them to come for the LGBTQ community, for the humanists and the atheists and the Christians who aren't Christian nationalsits. Anyone who is not sufficiently with them will be on the list.
