If anything I also blame the parents for allowing Tyler to have access to guns knowing his extreme mental state. Why didn’t his MAGA parents take his guns?

He was an adult and Utah does not have any red flag law.

And possibly if Tyler didn’t receive machine guns as childhood birthday gifts this murder would have been less likely to occur?

Machine guns? He did not use a machine gun.

Someone posted a pic a few pages back of a man in cheap blond Spirit Halloween-style wig. lol

Also keep in mind kids, young 20s people, post pics and videos online that are parody. I have yet to see any proof that an actual trans person was remotely involved here.

Who TF cares what some rando on X is saying about some rando on TikTok?

Meh. He was so unappealing lthat I think the publicity is likely to just give more energy to the left to produce better and more genial influencers. I had never seen his face before this or listened to him talk. Not impressed at all.

Democrats/liberals/progressives etc. do need to produce better influencers and have more grassroots support … or even astroturfed support lol … but when we do, we get attacked by useful idiots like Taylor Lorenz. Can’t win.

Meanwhile the far right gets kids from a very young age when they aren’t even old enough to discern propaganda and biased reporting. My 10 year old loves watching people’s gaming videos on YouTube. He especially loves strategy and war type games, mixed in with clips of older shows and movies like The Simpsons. Guess what else his algorithm was showing him? PragerU. Their videos were just coming up for him mixed with everything else. I blocked their channel and a few others. Now imagine how many parents have no idea what PragerU even is or that their kids are being served RW biased videos all the time, wrapped up in nice production value and disguised as educational children’s content.

It’s unavoidable, if the kids have any friends they will eventually see all of this.

Yes, same. So far so good, but it’s a lot of work to keep them away from the right’s brainwashing efforts. You hate to ban it because there IS good and entertaining content and you don’t want your kids being kept away from contemporary internet culture altogether.

That’s not the point. The point is this stuff is out there and for every person like me who’s aware of it, there are 10 who aren’t, or who are just happy their kids are watching something educational/newsy and aren’t actually listening to what the videos are saying.

My child was getting PragerU vids as well. And he complained about it.

DOn't let him watch it anyway. Online gaming culture has been a dumpster fire from the very beginning of the internet.

Ok so we have to move to a ranch 1000s of miles away from society and homeschool. No, the best way is to become an expert at navigating online trash.

It's safe to say that his militia upbringing had a role but so did the roommate/boy-girlfriend. It's all connected and they are all internet nut jobs.

But if you prioritize the issues here, the trans roommate is the least important unless he is an accomplice. It all began with Tyler’s parents giving him machine guns obviously.

They can't be separated like that. They fed into each other. The main common denominator is the radicalization and violent rhetoric that came at this guy from two different angles.
