> Some of the terminology used hints at in-group memes from the "groypers" The OwO thing is furry/gamer speak: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/OwO Its use is replete on reddit, and there's even a "Furry OwO" game on Steam. Trying to pass this off as groyper-coded is insulting to one's intelligence and incoherent, being at odds with the anti-fascist rhetoric he also used. (Simultaneously signaling "groyperism" and anti-fascism?) If you really want to argue he's a "groyper," you'd do better to just admit the "OwO" thing is furry- and trans-coded, and consistent with the anti-fascist slogans, but that it's a false flag to be blamed on trans-furry Antifa types meant to inflame moderate Republicans of the sort Kirk represented to drive them further to the right for the sake of accelerationism. Of course, that would be easier if you weren't also trying to paint Kirk as so extremely rightwing that we ought to breathe a collective sigh of relief that he's gone, as if one of Hitler's top henchmen was just taken out by a partisan. |

The rest of your comment is pretty bad faith and uninformed. "Painting Kirk as extremely right wing" as if he isn't, lol? Again, I don't think he deserved to die. The quick jump to conclusions by Trump and right wing media is reckless and will lead to more unnecessary killings.
