    Yeah, it’s the online forums and gaming communities that radicalized me and not the legion of drooling idiots destroying my country at the direction (or at least to the delight) of foreign adversaries. Good job, detective.

      Elon sieg heilling twice and then signal boosting facists and illegally cutting democratically approved and institutionally valid spending, that hasn’t radicalized anyone.

      Totally normal behavior.

      It’s gotta be the video games and the dark web. What’s dark web? It is any web space I don’t know about.

      I am not a fan of a few billionaires locking up every freedom we used to have so they can keep trucking toward the world’s first trillionaire.

    Shouldn’t they include Truth social on there?

      how could you be radicalized with the truth?

      source
      • willington@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Truth and “Truth social” are different things.

        Truth is good.

        Truth social is an owellian social network that is at war with the truth.

        There is no Radical honesty on Truth social.

      ~~Oracle~ TikTok isn’t on there either.

      Oh, that’s because they already have a government overseer. And owned by a Party loyalist.

      Say, doesn’t this sound like China?

    Besides stating the obvious, in that this government is corrupt, and that the killer was a right-wing nut, there is one thing a ton of these people don’t understand.

    Most people aren’t celebrating the killing of Kirk. Most people are celebrating that his incredibly provocative narrative, that violently rallied the fascists together, won’t be spread at the source anymore

      Not supporting the killing of Kirk, supporting the death of Kirk. It’s a small but important difference.

      Do I want people to die? Nope. Live forever, or of old age or whatever. Do I want people to stop belittling others and spreading hatred and lies and for them to cease it forever? Yes. Do I wish that Kirk saw the light or the end of a gravy train and apologized publicly and disavowed all his bs? I wanted this more than anything. I would also love to see the other propagandists and conspiracists maybe think hard about consequences of their actions and cease their lies, but I live in the real world, unlike them.

      Most people are simply mentioning how much of a piece of shit he was, and happy that he won’t be spewing his nonsense anymore

      Okay, but what if we just repeal or ignore that rule in order to conduct a pogrom of WrongThinkers?

        It shuts down Truth social and all social networks. YouTube stops allowing uploads, the fediverse closes up shop, cats and dogs living together.

        Like everything else, the same laws and rules they have hidden behind to justify and protect their absolute dogshit behavior will be the first things the regime will get rid of for protecting anyone other than their in-group.

    I hope they all say the same thing:

    Shit rolls down hill. You’re the hill DC. Fox news and the media are the hill. We’re the ditch where the people congregate in and drown in your shit.

      never mind people in the internet, maybe let’s start with the people in congress and on television. oh and, you know, the fucking president.

    No Twitter / X or Truth Social? Is this actually a “why aren’t you doing more to radicalize your online forum users towards our ideology” ?

  • phoenixz@lemmy.ca ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Right wing extremism and radicalization?

    Nooo problem

    A right wing radicalizer gets shot?

    We need to investigate radicalization of the online left!

    • willington@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Right wing influencers and pundits are calling for war and killings as we speak.

      We’ll see how they will be investigated.

    Imagine his surprise when all of these CEO’s voice their concerns about the fascist terrorist rhetoric.

      I doubt these CEOs will talk about it. Gotta stay on the good side of the Trumpy Regime.

        If they follow the script, they’ll blame Antifa, Obama, and trans people.

    Absolutely zero of them should go to this.

      What are the repercussions of simply ignoring an "invitation" such as this?

      That's the good kind of radicalisation... /s

        Left wing radicalisation is bad.

        Far right radicalisation is good.

    They need to invite lemmy somehow too. I know no ceo but still plenty of radicals. Not just on .ml though that is the worst.

    I’m assuming it’s gonna amount to “your users aren’t radicalized enough”
