I mean besides all the “memes” being fairly straightforwardly groyper stuff?
Definitely terminally online. Deep into “gaming” (derogatory) “culture.” 4chan stuff.
If the dude wasn’t a groyper somehow then he’s whatever you call someone who is a groyper in every other sense except they don’t watch Fuentes and don’t identify as a part of that sort of segment of the online right wing. I would personally just call that a groyper and move on. If you’re putting 4chan memes on bullet casings to shoot someone, anyone, you know. That’s some groyped up loser shit.
Luigi also (allegedly. He’s innocent) had writings on the casings, but his was not steeped in deep blackpilled, 4chan, groyper style “memes.” So he isn’t thrown in with groypers even though his ideology also seems to have been mostly far right wing with the exception of a personal grudge with the healthcare industry in the US.
I’m not just calling all these groypers for fun or out of hand. Had he not targeted Kirk (Fuentes target for months/years) and had he not wrote on the casings, I’d probably just say “Typical deadender blackpilled school shooter looking to make his name famous.” But I can tack on groyper because signs point that way. “Best case” is he was essentially aligned with groypers but somehow wasn’t explicitly one. To me that doesn’t matter much. 🤷
Luigi bullet casings: clever, poignant in meaning, suggests he is well read and well developed in his ideology
Tyler bullet casings: low effort meme slop, no coherent ideology
It’s actually completely consistent with how the right often acts as a bizarro or distorted mirror reaction to the left. Like he wanted so badly to be the next Luigi, without understanding what exactly made Luigi so important and so popular. Irony shrouding how his social understanding only goes skin deep.
Even if we’re celebrating the poetic demise of Charlie Kirk, none of us out here celebrating Tyler like we did Luigi.
Also the choice of target matters. The reason I overlook Luigi’s disjointed but definitely right wing politics (he’s an average American in that way) is because he arrived at a valid target. Allegedly. Free Luigi.
I’m never going to pretend to feel an ounce of anything for Kirk. At the end of the day though, despite his apparent rising prominence (even though I highly suspect that was astroturfed and basically “not real”), I don’t feel he was the correct or even a beneficial target to take out for any cause I would like to see advanced.
Another vapid soulless husk will be propped up in his spot once they shovel his corpse into the ground. He’ll be forgotten except on some dumbshit yearly remembrance thing right wingers jack off to.
While a CEO is and was easily replaced, I can’t argue much with that target. Everyone in the country and world hates those guys. Especially fucking health insurance CEOs. The only more popular target might be, I dunno, a Black[noun] CEO. I’ll avoid naming names because I don’t want some jackbooted eighth grade dropout kicking my door in and demanding I… stop observing reality.
When I saw that video of Luigi (allegedly) I had to rewatch it like 100 times. He made that shit look so fucking effortless and cool. It helped that the target 100% deserved it. I think I even laughed a little bit. It’s probably a reflection on how good things still surprisingly are for Americans that every kid from like 16-25 wasn’t immediately 3D printing guns and you know. Practicing. In a legal, safe environment.
If they keep dropping quality of life… history already says what the results will be. On one hand millions of people will have a miserable existence. On the other hand when people have absolutely nothing to live for they might start tossing dynamite at the Tsar. Probably something would-be Tsars should consider.
