Groypers

How does that square with the issue that he texted his trans significant other to go pick up his rifle which he could not do as feds found the rifle first. [1] The feds are interviewing the trans partner as we speak. To be clear I am not anti-trans, rather just confused how he could also be a Groyper. Maybe this is possible, just a new concept to me.

> his trans significant

From the article you posted:

> According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post Saturday that “yes, they were roommates.”

> The family member, who asked not to be identified, said Twiggs was the “black sheep” of their St. George, Utah, family, but declined to speculate on a romantic relationship between the two men.

> She said she didn’t know her relative’s politics or whether Twiggs was transitioning to become a woman, but added that it wouldn’t surprise her.

So basically the source is "it was revealed to me in a dream". For all we know they were just roommates.

For all we know they were just roommates.

It's possible. I keep hearing terms used interchangably on different YT channels and all of that could be people just projecting their preferred narratives so I guess we will have to wait for the Discord and cell phone text message transcripts assuming those ever drop. They so rarely do. Either way at least we know the roommate was involved to some extent. The Discord transcripts may be the most telling of the relationship.

Turns out you can buy anyones chat messages on discard apparently but I have no idea what his discord username was.
Oh my God, they were roommates!
Turns out a more than that, which is totally fine. [1] Love should have no limits. also covered by 7 other news sites but DM have the most complete coverage

It's actually the DM who broke the story.
I would not be surprised. They seem to have the best journalists and bravest laywers. I just wish they had a version or layout of their site that could be embedded in the URL that would leave out all the tabloid stuff, otherise it gets flagged here on submission most of the time.
It gets flagged because it's right wing, not because it's a tabloid. And agree, the DM is consistently accurate, breaks many stories and has massive throughput from their newsroom. It's one of the world's most popular papers for good reasons.
Well, groyper thought leader Nick Fuentes uploaded a video long time ago where he goes into what was basically a date with a another white nationalist dressed like a catboy. Also there's a common meme about the twink -> white nationalist pipeline Gryoper lore is hard to follow even for terminally online people.
Political view is different from being friends/partners with trans.
Nazis still have their kinks
Republicans still have abortions
The last real nazi's were either burnt, buried or relocated to South America shortly after WWII. Today Nazi, Fascist and all other terms like it are just inflammatory ways to say: "someone I disagree with".

I use the Firefox addon Foxreplace [1] to display that word as such. Others should do the same.

You wish. Basically 90% of German nazis stayed in Germany and were completely unharmed by any form of persecution. Most of them had even kept everything they stole from all the murdered people, including companies, homes, and items of value. A large share of the later West German Lawyers and Politicians had NS background, in the DDR it was slightly less. Of the rest - many were flown to the US to contribute to the American weapon programs, roughly similar share were taken to the UdSSR for the same reasons. "Burnt, buried, or escaped to South America" is the smallest part of them.
Either way, 100% of the people being called Nazi's, Fascists, Hitler are just people that other people do not agree with. Such words have entirely lost their meaning. Even the people cosplaying as Nazis as neo-nazi's are just larping junkie thuglets and are far from disciplined national socialists in expensive military uniforms.

The other day, a Fox News host called for the mass-murder of mentally ill people.

> Brian Kilmeade suggested that mentally ill homeless people who refuse government assistance should be given "involuntary lethal injection" or something similar, adding, "Just kill 'em"

I guess if I call him a Nazi, that just means I just, like, disagree with him?

At what point can we call a spade a spade? What do we call that man?

How is he not getting cancelled? Should someone celebrating something bad happening to a man that's calling for mass-murder get cancelled?

> the mass-murder of mentally ill people.

No, only those who refuse government assistance.

Which inherently makes them a threat to others. Keep in mind that this is happening in the context of Iryna Zarutska getting stabbed to death.

I disagree with it, but it's objectively not what you're representing it as.

> I guess if I call him a Nazi, that just means I just, like, disagree with him?

It's not justified by the evidence.

> At what point can we call a spade a spade? What do we call that man?

Something else.

> How is he not getting cancelled?

How isn't he? I've lost count of the times I've had to hear about this in the last few days, which is strange because I don't watch American TV at all and he has nothing to do with Kirk. If you think he should be fired from Fox because of it then you are absolutely welcome to call them and say so. That's freedom of speech, and I agree that you have a much better case than most of the "cancelling" attempts I've seen over the years. Fox execs, however, are under no obligation to agree with you.

> Should someone celebrating something bad happening to a man that's calling for mass-murder get cancelled?

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Kirk and Kilmeade are different people.
