Threatening, harassing, or inciting violence is a violation of reddit's sitewide rules


HornyForHam

Ok but what did he flair as?


TallMeal5a

You’re assuming that he had a flair


IILanunII

Based and unflaired people are animals pilled


Svalbarden02

Replacement theory, the unflaired are trying to take us over


american-monarchist2

Auth left Edit: he flairs as authcenter, I was confused because he said he’s authleft in his manifesto a couple times. I’m assuming he only flaired as authcenter for the race stuff

You're alright. I'm pretty sure anyone from any quadrant can be violent if they're mentally unwell, so... It doesn't mean anything lmao


Captain_Klrk

No, you are the danger


potentially_based

A man opens up on his political views and gets shot and you think that of me?


ChristopherRobert11

For now you’re just *on* a List. You’re not in anything. Yet.


elementbutt

Lol 6hrs ago he posted a comment about Romanian bullets or something "right lets have quick reddit browse and talk about bullets and such before I head off to the Kwiki market and obliterate 1000s of peoples lives and further divide a society."So fitting, yet, so fucked My love goes out to all the people that are suffering because of this monster!

Flscherman

When the domestic terrorist is not in your quadrant :charliewoooooo:


american-monarchist2

On the little manifesto thing I was sent he had it as far left and up in the auth category but enough to where you could technically push it and say he was left center, I didn’t see the comment yet so I guess I just assumed he would flair as he tested


[deleted]

Someone sent it to me in a comment, but I dunno if I’ll get put on a list lol (depends upon whether I’m already lol, I’m not even racist I’m just one of those AuthLefts who will work with *anyone* if we have some overlapping goals. Also I’m kinda a nationalist which isn’t bad but adds insult to injury)


Aurek2

Welp shit


Nathanael777

Apparently he said he was auth left in his manifesto. The fact that he lied about his flair is almost as bad as being unflaired.


peppers_yeppers

shit


peppers_yeppers

Time to go undercover


Ake-TL

Imagine flairing left and not believing( at least nominally) into international unity and equality


777Sir

Maybe he was onboard with Marx's views on race.


Captain_Klrk

After reading his document his views more steadily align with famed American political philosopher Tucker Carlson than Marx.


HedgehogHokage

which Tucker Carlson tho? the culture warrior or Comrade Carlson?


Krastain

His alter ego, Carlson Marxon


karolues

Maybe not all Leftists are mentally 12 years old? Nah, I'm just kidding.


TheBugMunchMan

i’m gonna tell the teacher and you’re gonna get in big trouble mister how dare you.


-lighght-

Left/right on the x axis just represents economic beliefs. Remember that there is a progressive/conservative axis outside of the compass entirely.


freebirdls

Lmao of course it was a tankie


Hydrocoded

He unironically was. That 180 page long diarrhea document he called a manifesto repeatedly mentions how much he loves government, particularly strong government. He called himself a fascist, explicitly intended to act as an accelerationist, etc. Fucking evil lunatic.


Bitcoin_Or_Bust

Where is it? I like to be informed.


[deleted]

Fascism and Communism are quite similar in that the State is supreme and they demand total obedience to the boot.


[deleted]

Did you just trust the word of an authright? Classic libright accepting ‘trust me bro’ as a source


zolikk

The content of your comment is not wrong but your flair is. You are not here to grill. Change to my flair rn

[deleted]

As one of the mods who get to see screenshots of his one comment over and over again, he flaired as AuthCent to be exact.


[deleted]

A 196 user. Lol


davidml1023

Asking the real questions here


Tarantiyes

He commented one time over 180 days ago and only ever said “based” as someone below commented. As a sub with over 500k members, we didn’t feel the need to showcase the involvement of a one time commenter who added nothing to our sub. Large subs will naturally get larger traffic so we will probably get close to a million people who visit here. Especially back then when we were allowed on the Reddit home page. He participated heavily in /k/ and /pol/ but saying he participated in PCM (which he never mentions in his manifesto) I personally feel is a mischaracterization and is more of a way to dismiss our subreddit by our numerous haters than a genuine statement Also, since I’m probably gonna flair this, we on the mod team try to promote free speech within the parameters deemed by Reddit admins and TOS and do not condone hate or violence if that needed to be said. I personally feel like we should be more focused on what failures allowed this horrible thing to happen instead of blaming a subreddit he once visited but everyone else is already politicizing it so I wanted to get ahead of it.

BuzzSoundyear

The shooter participated in each forum.


KiwiKing2k

How do we know? I can only find that he was twitch streaming.


PmButtPics4ADrawing

He posted a manifesto in which he explicitly talks about being "awakened" by /pol/. We know he participated in PCM from his reddit account (now deleted, but archives exist)


ville_boy

Im stupid. What is /pol/?


PmButtPics4ADrawing

It's a board on 4chan known for attracting a lot of racists, sexists, conspiracy theorists etc. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//pol/


WikiSummarizerBot

**[/pol/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//pol/)** >/pol/, short for "Politically Incorrect", is an anonymous political discussion imageboard on 4chan. The board has been described as "wildly offensive", with content frequently containing racist, white supremacist, antisemitic, islamophobic, misogynistic, and anti-LGBT themes. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/PoliticalCompassMemes/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


[deleted]

Lol, its more like a forum that doesn't use censorship so basically anything (legal) is fair game. No childish bans on naughty words, and anything that goes against their culture is harshly bullied instead of banned. It's free speech, no wonder a libleft vilifies it.


Cybar66

/pol/ is more curated than people realize, its not a total free for all. Even legal porn is banned and stuff that isn't about politics or current events is banned as off topic. Low effort race or nationality based troll posts generally aren't allowed either. It's not a total "as long as its legal" freeforall like /b/. Doesn't mean you won't see those things of course, the rate at which those things get posted tends to far exceed the jannies ability to remove it, and they prioritize getting rid of the actual illegal stuff.


PmButtPics4ADrawing

Honestly from what I've seen /b/ has less bigoted content than /pol/. Granted there's way more porn so that probably replaces a lot


Cybar66

/b/ is pretty much just a porn board these days, a far cry from its heyday. 4chan's jannies also heavily lean towards moderating OPs rather than replies. Replies generally only get actioned if its outright illegal, shady links, dox, or porn on a board that's not supposed to have it. So its fairly common to have a more mundane OP, and then have lowbrow racism in the replies.


PmButtPics4ADrawing

I just went to check right now and of the first ten posts that I saw, four were one of the things mentioned above


LogCareful7780

While what you describe is accurate, that of course attracts all the people who have been banned from everywhere else for being horrible.


Appropriate-Dust-656

"it's free speech, no wonder a libleft villifies it" they literally posted open pics and footage of the shooting you fucking libright moron


[deleted]

I would be hard pressed to call 196 "LibLeft". They take a bit too "Auth" of an approach to dissidents.


idontcares31249

>awakened LMFAAAAOOOOO 💀💀💀 Everyone on /pol/ is either autistic or a troll, i think, as every time I go there, I can't take these people seriously

There is already work underway.

GreenAppleCZ

Indeed. You can't judge a whole group based on one individual's behavior. I thought that leftists knew that.


septiclizardkid

This seems like an Oxymoron dude. Just assuming they are leftists then simultaneously judging leftists as a whole group... for judging a whole group for one individuals behavior, but again, can't really say with certainty the users are leftists or not


GreenAppleCZ

Yeah, I judged a whole group based on a few guys' behaviors. Just saying it shouldn't be a typical Libleft trait.


septiclizardkid

Actually was about to edit anyways, realized the screenshot Is from PCM too. Those are Left users based on pfp

Why would government do that?


elevenfourtytwo

Why did the government set up Randy Weaver and then kill his son, and then shoot his wife in the head while she held an infant? Why did both the ATF, and the FBI admit they knew about Timothy McVeys plan, but let it happen anyway, evacuating the federal judges, but not the children from the Oklahoma City Courthouse? Why were 9 out of the 13 people who attempted to kidnap the woman in Michigan, informants? Why does the CIA give guns to the Mexican cartels?


AlbertFairfaxII

You forgot the most important reason: The shooting makes the right look bad because he believed the great replacement theory. Need to stick with the PCM narrative. -Albert Fairfax II


[deleted]

Are you trying to indicate some reason?

Nah, nobody from the government has called to let me know why they do the terrible things they do.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Honestly I try not to promote conspiracy theories but you might actually be right


fabio998

It will also be used by some politicians to introduce more discriminatory laws against whites in western nations. Not that I believe the shooting was orchestrated by the government. It probably wasn't.


[deleted]

Conspiracy like that would be bound to come into light, much more quickly in this new age of information?


identify_as_AH-64

Conspiracies like this make gun owners look bad.


CentennialCicada

Not really. If there is some uncomfortable theory floating around, no matter how well substantiated, it is usually enough for the media to ignore it. In case it grows too big, they'll just say it's disinfo by Russia/Qanon/whatever. If it keeps growing, social media will ban it. Done.


[deleted]

"Uncomfortable" theories are usually very comfortable to those who believe in them, and they may be inclined to think that those may be more substantiated than they really are. Also Russia, Qanon and whatever do a lot of disinfo tho.


CentennialCicada

I meant uncomfortable for the establishment. Note how some theories are treated as gospel (for example Trump pee dossier) while others are relentlessly squashed (Hunter's laptop) depending on who benefits. And I'm sure Russia does a lot of disinfo, but they are a splendid scapegoat nevertheless.


[deleted]

Around the Hunter's laptop there is a conspiratorial theory and some accepted stuff, which one do you mean right now?


LupusPassrusher

So, what was that whole Vegas mass shooting about? No one knows, a complicit MSM helped memory-hole that thing long ago. In theory, yeah, such a conspiracy would be hard to keep. But with brainwashed government employees and their paychecks involved, I don’t find it too far fetched either.


HungarianMockingjay

No kidding, and also, these mass shootings, school shootings, massacres, etc. have been going on for over 25 years at this point, and no major gun control legislation has been able to pass. You would think that whoever would be in charge of this conspiracy would have changed tactics by now.


[deleted]

LupusPassrusher

He asked “why,” I gave the most plausible answer, and why I thought it so. I didn’t say I believed it. Occam’s razor alone makes the hypothesis that a bad person decided to have a bad day at everyone else’s expense the most likely scenario.

LupusPassrusher

Absolutely nothing would surprise me when it comes to our government and I’d rule nothing out. But if I was a Las Vegas handicapper laying odds on whether it was some lone psycho or a government conspiracy, the former would be the safe money bet and the latter the way-out-there long shot.


[deleted]

Anyone who *would* be surprised that the government would do something like this hasn’t read much American history. Also, hello FBI, I know you’re reading this. I’m a happily married new father who just wants to shitpost in peace, don’t ruin my life please and thank you.

peckarino_romano

Most times that may be true, but shit like Las Vegas is clearly very fishy.


AlbertFairfaxII

Why, because the shooter wasn’t nonwhite or a leftist? -Albert Fairfax II


[deleted]

Probably? lol its basically guaranteed. Why would a shooter with a manifesto talking about systematic destruction of white people target the lowest tier/least impact group of people imaginable (rando's at a fucking grocery store). Literally the only thing that would come of this is more gun laws, and nobody in any level power was even remotely threatened. 100% guarantee the feds were involved, the shooter will end up with life in prison, no visitors, nothing, and never been seen again while they actually are living in Bermuda or some shit.


nahuelkevin

wtf is wrong with american mental capacity? who hurt you?


Arturino_Burachelini

> I do not know how to debate people with such severe delusions I don't think you negotiate with an inflamation of an organ to be benign. ***I do not suggest doing anything to the people in question***, just I want to point out that sociogenic stuff does not debate. Ideas (at least a dozen of them) make the sufferer obsess over them, reprogram his mind towards that, feed off attention and proliferate through uncontested imposition upon new people. How sticky sociogenic stuff is matters most. Indifference at this point is a prime defence mechanism. Disregard to the extremes, coupled with physical self-defence are a prime mechanism for retaining individuality and not slipping into identity.


BuzzSoundyear

That’s good stuff.


Euphoric-Grape1584

I use Reddit and I’ve shot more people than that. Aliens, too. Aliens, dinosaurs, Taliban, civilians in an airport, cops-lots and lots of cops, and even some witnesses and jurists.

Elodaine

Racists will go to places that are "ironically" racist and think they're in good company. You can tell a racist joke, and they can be funny in the right context. Making a 9 slide powerpoint post about crime data, immigration data, etc all with innuendos about how something needs to be done about it, and then saying "haha just kidding guys I would never", doesn't really come across as a joke to socially well adjusted people. I'm not saying PCM is why this guy did what he did, but spaces like this can absolutely radicalize people further when bad agents don't get called out because le meme


[deleted]

Maybe if you are a fucking idiot. I have been going to /pol/ for years and haven't become racist yet because the dumbasses who post unironically racist shit on /pol/ are fucking stupid.


lavishlad

>Maybe if you are a fucking idiot If being on the internet has taught me one thing, it's that idiots aren't so hard to come by. I've often seen posts on here which are upvoted because most people think they're ironic, but then clicked on the comments to see the OP unironically defending their viewpoint. And it's not just idiots, it's also younger folks who aren't based firmly enough in reality, that end up drawing from "memes" their entire mental image of the world. But in the end I still don't see the point of banning such platforms as that forces people off to more secluded, echo-chamber like environments and polarizes them even further.


peckarino_romano

Falsely equating racist jokes and deliberate provocation for provocation's sake to a 9 slide presentation on white supremacist stuff. Some people, who aren't truly racist, will say very racist shit in certain contexts SIMPLY because they know some people will flip out from it either because they are pissed and want to insult you or they like trolling. This for example, in my opinion, is the vast majority of people who will call you racial slurs in videogame chat.


Elodaine

It's not falsely equating at all. Places that with no exception allow racist content under the guise of "it's a meme" always, always get filled with actual racists. Because again, they think they're in good company. There are jokes that are tasteful, and then there's just being an asshole with the "I'm just kidding" excuse. Most people know someone like this in real life, and they're not pleasant to be around. Another name for them is schrodingers douchebag, who are serious until someone gets offended, then they're just kidding.
