Notes -
As many of you are probably aware, there’s this popular theory among normie and normie-adjacent white liberals in the US and the West in general that Charlie Kirk’s assassin is a so-called groyper i.e. dissident rightist, racist etc. follower of Nick Fuentes. I was wondering if the main reason for this belief is that said liberals are fully aware of the level of infighting and factionalism that characterizes the Left and then go on to thoughtlessly assume that the situation must be the same on the Right because they actually have only scarce knowledge about it.
I doubt it. I think the main reason is "we need to find something that avoids the conclusion that the Left does political violence, because the Left are the good guys". And fortunately, the Message Machine produced exactly the message they needed - it was actually a right-wing extremist (who are all extremely violent and dangerous, as everybody knows) who done it. So they grab it and hold on it for their dear life, and everything is correct in the world again.
