The phrases engraved on the bullets found by law enforcement during the investigation into the shooting of Charlie Kirk come from a video game called Helldivers2
As someone who actually wrote a memo about Discord and the rise of fascism in the gaming communities there when I had an office at West Point, all I can say is thank you! Nobody is paying attention to what these sad lonely creatures are doing there. Jack Teixeira posted his battle plans there. My favorite videogame for the past several years has been Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. The only thing my bullet casing would have said is: "Invest early and often in infrastructure and education, or else your shit will go south." It's a great game, but someone needs to call attention to this facet of society and how it's programming young men.
Obvious observation: Big tech is the shadow hand behind the profiteering rot.
And all American children are collateral damage as long as we continue to ignore the clear & present danger socialized digital media presents to growing minds.
What better way to change the narrative from the Epstein Files. It’s sucking up all the oxygen. Substack don’t fall for this. Go back to reporting what’s really happening!!! Putin’s tentacles 🐙 are all there.
👍 Me too. I moved on to Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda but never finished and soon lost interest. However my brother became enamored with video games and passed his love for them onto his son. I’m now 71 years old and my nephew is in his mid-thirties, having lived with his mother since his parents divorced while he was in elementary school. Fortunately he now has an excellent state job going background checks and research on gun owners ( he strongly supports more gun control laws!) but his entire life outside of work involves paying video games. Unfortunately he admits that his sole social life is limited to his interactions with other gamers. He’s a good guy, from what I can tell from our limited long distance conversations, and I know that he has never been the least bit violent or angry about anything concerning politics or the state of our nation. However, I consider his life story to be the very essence of what can happen to the generations of people who have grown up during this age of ever increasingly available electronic gadgets that are used as stimulation for personal pleasure. It seems as though the outcome has been more extreme than anyone ever imagined and when I read about the background of the mostly young men who commit these acts of violence against people who are prominent activists or innocent children and bystanders and others, I just want to scream. But how do we stop this madness without infringing on our rights to freedom? I think we may need to start talking about introducing mandatory classes that educate our students about the possible dangers of digital electronic technology and the potential negative impacts on society in general before it becomes too late.🥺
Per Google AI - “The ‘groyper frog’ meme is a racist, antisemitic, white nationalist variation of the Pepe the Frog meme. It has been embraced by some incels as part of their broader alignment with extremist, alt-right ideology. Led by white nationalist Nick Fuentes, the Groypers use the meme to push racist & antisemitic beliefs within online far-right & conservative circles.”
bs rhetoric from jkkkrowling and her ilk. they invented this in line with “gay agenda”. i’m nonbinary, which falls under the trans umbrella. the only ideology i know of is trying to survive in a world where you’ve been identified as either demonic, or non-existent.
I know this isn’t adequate, but I’m so sorry that we are living in a society where we can’t even let people live their lives without fear of bigots and their agenda. ☮️
Amen! My granddaughter is Two-Spirit and in our family that is perfectly acceptable. I just don't know why all these people seem to think how someone lives or loves is ANY of their business, ffs!
My deceased daughter had a spirit guide named two feathers. I see him in my dreams from time to time and thank him for letting me know I will see her when I die. Death has never scared me or my children.
I thought basic kindness and tolerance of anyone that is kind yo me was a safe way to live my old age. I'm 78. Then the lump entered politics and I realized that none of us were as stable as we thought. I mean thus nation had to be ready to explode if one, really ignorant, liar could shake up our "comfortable" society. Toss in a Pandemic and people went nuts. I would love a chance to tell RFK Jr. that his brain worms are showing. Nighty Night
I am so sad the stupid right idiots decided to run with the ate directed at an already misunderstood group of people. The notion of "curing" homsexuality or "forcing" your children to be sterilized is such bullshit. I live on the edges of artistic communities and I am an actor/artist. I met my first trans man at a bar and then a trans woman. I told the woman I was pisded at her because she was so much prettier than I. She cried
And held me for a long time. I felt safe with these people
Abd when I wanted to drink alone, they made sure I switched to Coca-Cola after three drinks and at closing time, walked me to my car to protect me from the things that go bump in the night!
I learned about the joys and hardships of being who you are and fortunately they formed their own support group. Damn could she dance!
I don't know if you have family support, but you should. My favorite thing to say find myself around a gay basher is...Love is not gender specific. When they start preaching ancient Bible bs to me I tell them ORGANIZED RELIGION IS SATAN'S GREATEST DECEPTION. I love God and he loves all souls.
And, when some idiot starts saying the two gender line and it ain't natural. Remember the tiny clown fish. Each colony is ruled by an alpha female and when she dies, if there are no qualified females, a chosen male simply becomes a female! That my friend is a natural trans!!!
Feel safe and stay outta trouble. God loves you and I do too. ❤️
Goid night. I am in Arizona and it is after 1am. I have leukemia and get a bit "deader" each day.
Better than the corporate media. But you don't have to kowtow to fascist bosses or dumb the content down to the lowest common denominator. Thanks for the research work!
Wow. Please tell every media outlet. The lionizing of Kirk is worsened by blaming this on progressives. I’m sure the FBI & AG will lie about the assassin no matter his actual inspiration for the crime.
I’ve been bouncing around global, US national & local news TV today, barely any discussion of improving gun control.
Utah Gov Cox is only for free speech that he agrees with - total hypocrisy from a misogynist, racist, anti-LGBTQIA+, white, Mormon male. Utah may be the worst US state to be female &/or non-cis-hetero &/or have a tinge more melanin than the average Viking warrior. He banned DEI from schools & government. He’s totally into freedom (but only for <30% of US humans).
I just emailed this to the New York Times, Richard Fausset is reporting on the assassin, he mentioned the video game, but doesn’t seem to know that Bella Ciao also refers to the game.
Hello fellow Utahn? Beyond missing the gamer-speak groyper memes (which I learned first from Waj Ali & now here) the MSM is totally missing the Mormon angle. I keep being shocked to hear that the alleged killer's dad consulted with their "pastor" - not bishop. The Corporation of the President of the Church of Latter-day Saints (yeah that is the full name of the $330B + nonprofit church & investment corporation...) has been working hard to drop all of its factual and damning history and trying to be more mainstream Xian, changing a lot of language, as cults do (coercive control-based churches if cults sets you off).
Cox himself covered it up, other than saying he had prayed it wasn't "one of us" - by which he meant Mormon, not Utahn in general, of course. The Deseret News did not report he and family were Mormon, and the commentors often expressed their relief he must not have been - coverups and propaganda among coverups. We cannot believe anything from Cox or the FBI at this point, I am so sorry to say.
I’m absolutely not from Utah. Been there to ski, but they don’t like childless, self-made, coastal elite, atheist feminists who eschew dating men & think the patriarchy is the reason the Mormon cult exists - to support & expand the patriarchy, to enslave girls & women to a life of servitude, constant pregnancy, sister wives & domestic abuse ordained by a fake deity conjured by human men who like to “marry” 12 year old girls. Very Epstein.
Trump blamed "left-wing radicals" within five minutes of the shooting, so proving it was not won't make a difference to the cult; they'll believe the head viper!
Thanks AG. I don't understand any of this stuff but it sounds like there is a group of individuals living in an alternative world and sometimes they mix it up with the real world.
I hope this gets through the noise. You’re a gem AG. Thank you!

I am not a gamer abd my children are senior citizens!
Online brain rot.
Nailed it.
Obvious observation: Big tech is the shadow hand behind the profiteering rot.

This kid didnt have much of a chance.
Make sure others do.

Not Distracted.
We CAN multi-task! We're not MAGAs after all.
Best comment all day.
absolutely on the nose.
Thanks for context, AG.
I'm not a gamer so I have never heard of this game and what the writings on the bullet casings mean.
You have earned my trust over the many years I have followed you.
Much appreciated, AG!! 💙💙
YES! I'm not a gamer either so had NO idea about this game. Or any, for that matter. Well, maybe Tetris. :)
PONG was my game. And the very first Mario Bros.

I did later play Myst and 7th Guest and really liked those two.
Thanks AG.
His mum reports Tyler has a "groyper frog" Hallowe'en costume, FWIW.
Per Google AI - “The ‘groyper frog’ meme is a racist, antisemitic, white nationalist variation of the Pepe the Frog meme.

Reading this is quite educational. As a "boomer" with a ten year old son. I need all manner of insights to help me make parenting decisions.
Gaming, online especially, is a mixed bag of skills, attitudes, and cultural trends. Ugh.
I, too, an a boomer and my kids are senior citizens. Sigh
Well, there’s your smoking gun. Unless he tortured the frog….,
Yup.
This context is extremely helpful
#contextiseverything
What on earth is “transgender ideology” anyway?
bs rhetoric from jkkkrowling and her ilk. they invented this in line with “gay agenda”. i’m nonbinary, which falls under the trans umbrella. the only ideology i know of is trying to survive in a world where you’ve been identified as either demonic, or non-existent.

Exactly the point! None of their business how or who anyone loves ❤️
My deceased daughter had a spirit guide named two feathers. I see him in my dreams from time to time and thank him for letting me know I will see her when I die. Death has never scared me or my children.
Hey MAGAt bot...Go look in the mirror if you want to see vermin.

Bella ciao is first and foremost an Italian partisan song sung by the resistance during WW2. Helldivers co-opted it

Shining the light on truth as usual
Thanks AG. I don't understand any of this stuff but it sounds like there is a group of individuals living in an alternative world and sometimes they mix it up with the real world.
yep. approximately 1/3 of us citizens are living in an alternate reality created and propagandized by russia.
"trans agenda", my ass.
Sharing widely. Thanks Allison.
yep. the only “agenda” is staying safe and resisting like crazy.
i’d like to send a rousing “fuck you” to every moron who believed this came from the left.
