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.

Yeah maybe don't let him watch YT

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.

Thank you, just blocked PragerU and Tuttle Twins. Any others I need to block for my kids?

Depends how old they are. Maybe teach them what online trash looks like.

you need to get off the internet. not everything needs to be a software analogy.

It’s accurate though. Instead of trying to discredit the PP, share with us why you think it doesn’t apply.

PragerU has a few channels, make sure you get all of them. My kid was mostly getting the PragerUKids channel videos.

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.

Nope the #1 common denominator is that a radicalized person was given guns.

This helped me understand how some people think Charlie was good No excuse for his vile talk “One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.
Neither of us had a whole picture of this man.

I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking. She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.
I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person. My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didn't believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me.

All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing, enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.

Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived. Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.

There is no indication that the trans roommate radicalized him.

Good, whatever, so can we address the actual issues here? Gun ownership and mental health?

I this case the real issue is unregulated and unfettered access to social media and online groups radicalizing young boys. They aren’t mentally ill, they have been radicalized. They are so starved to feel anything they go deeper into gore. Like the other kid in CO. He was watching snuff film.

Gun yes, but no one is talking about these groups who radicalize. We can start with Zuckerberg’s unregulated empire.

Yeah everyone is living in their own warped reality thanks to the internet. But the #1 issue here is gun control. Forget everything else.

I agree but do you believe kids should be gifted machine guns, or any guns? Children? This Tyler person had no business owning a gun.

That’s basically what they want us to believe Lance looks like, but not even this legit. They just keep showing a filtered pic of Lance wearing an animal onesie. And I believe Lance is wearing it as satire, he is being funny.
