      /s?

      He was raised Mormon in a full MAGA family, and nearly all photos show him surrounded with rifles.

      He may have been confused, and I can buy he went libertarian, but if he was a leftist, I’ll eat my hat on camera.

      e: oh no, it wasn’t /s, judging by your other comments. That’s just sad.

      I haven’t seen any hard evidence he was a full-on leftist, but I haven’t seen any hard evidence he was maga either.

      From what I’ve seen, he was definitely left of his parents, but there’s a whole lot of different ideologies to the left of maga.

      I think the only way we’ll know for sure his ideology is if he says so.

        The bbc is now right wing fake news…

        • “Robinson’s mother said her son had started to lean more to the left, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray told a news conference on Tuesday, “becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights orientated””

        +2 Proud republican behavior: “Public records reviewed by the BBC suggest Robinson had in the past registered as an unaffiliated, or nonpartisan, voter in Utah. His parents, Matthew Carl Robinson and Amber Denise Robinson, are registered Republicans, according to state records”

        +3 Common republican things “Authorities have said the unnamed roommate was a “biological male” who was transitioning from man to woman and was in a romantic relationship with the defendant.”

              Meanwhile, elsewhere on lemmy, you are apparently fairly recently starting HRT yourself, or considering it, and are concerned about a potential crackdown on transfolk in Hungary.

              https://lemmy.world/post/25665488

              From which side of the political spectrum do you think that would come from?

              The… left, apparently?

              Obvious troll is obvious.

              Either that, or you bounced off the idea of transitioning so hard that you became either a complete idiot, or basically a fascist.

              It can be difficult to tell the difference between those two.

              Not impossible I guess, but certainly does make you seem incredibly unstable.

              What?

              You asked for statistics, and here are the statistics.

              And spiking a flat-earther isn’t the flex you think it is. I could probably spike a 2nd grader, but I wouldn’t brag about doing it.

                Statistics don’t give any evidence about the ideology of any particular shooting. The statistics say that around 20% are done by people on the left.

                That’s nowhere near close enough to confidently state Robinson wasn’t on the left.

                I could not comprehend why anyone would use that word there… Do you think it would be an intelligent thing to say that black people must be behind crime ‘a’ or say this crime, because statistically they commit more crime? Oh, but this nonsense must work in your proposition because its in favor of your rhetoric!

                That was not a flex, it was an insult :))

                    And I am sure that those statistics are right! Comparably why don’t you believe that a black person committed this crime? They are statistically more likely to commit crimes!

Here I was called a maga right winger, an american, a troll and crazy for calling the killer leftist with the info with which I arrived to that conclusion!

      There’s a thing called “Poe’s Law” that states “without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.”

      So your “joke” relies on the idea that zero rightwing nutjobs will read it as encouragement. Which is just highly unlikely.

      It’s very difficult to joke about extremism online because there’ll almost always be extremists who take it as encouragement. To them, you’re indistinguishable from any other MAGA supporter.

              “All information available” is apparently one BBC article that you keep posting over and over, while calling numerous articles and studies on the ideology of most domestic terrorists “made up,” and the conclusions you draw from your one single source an “assumption.” Gosh that’s some irrefutable evidence you’ve got there chief. 🙄

          ‘More to the left’ of MAGA is not ‘leftist’, ffs. That whole family is deep MAGA, so more to the left isn’t even necessary centrist. Libertarian, maybe, or still far right, but thinks LGBTQ people might be people.

          Are you even paying attention? Do you think trans people, women, and immigrants deserve rights? Answer honestly.

              You said ‘leftist’, and you made claims about that based on what his grandmother said.

              I said coming from a MAGA family, ‘drifting left’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘leftist’. Compared to MAGA, ‘moving left’ can mean anything from libertarian to centrist. That’s not a claim, it’s calling you on your claim.

              We don’t yet know anything about him other than his family is MAGA and Mormon, so let’s not speculate what his beliefs are, eh?

                Mother, now now someone is even struggling with reading exerts from a source…

                Coming from a background is almost as weak sauce as your statistics argument

                Aaaaaaah, so now we go from he is ‘right wing ‘to lets not speculate… If we go by facts researched provided by an actually neutral party, that of the british national news source, we can only assume that he was left leaning and by his action that he is an extremist! Just because he did something you actually don’t disagree with I reckon, but is disadvantageous for your group does not give you the right to decide his political beliefs
