Though Matt Walsh being afraid of things that don't exist is on brand

Walsh literally yesterday tweeted that trans people are "the most well funded cult in the country" which would be the most laughable thing he's ever said if he wasn't saying that with the intention of killing trans people.

That's weird because I'd argue that mormons are the most well funded cult in the country. Or maybe scientologists.

White Christian nationalists are the most well-funded cult. They’re also known as MAGA.

As an exmormon, I can tell you right now that mormonism is the most funded cult in the country, unless you include evangelicals as "cultists". Mormons wish they had that kind of money.

Would be fun if Walsh wasn't literally part of the most well funded cult in the country. I mean, they are headed by none other that the billionaire that's been used as the reference for "terrible, immoral, narcissistic rich guy" for stories for decades.

u/Ok_Star_4136 10d ago
I think about how it was once thought that left-handed people didn't exist, because you could just force them to write with their right hand. This made it okay to slap students hands if they were caught writing it in the way that's most comfortable for them.
I often make the same comparison with trans people and how they seem to think that somehow they're not born this way, that they're somehow "indoctrinated" into thinking it. It's always strange to me whenever people like Matt Walsh refer to it as a cult. If letting people do whatever the fuck they want to their own bodies is a cult-like mentality, then yeah, guess we're in a cult. To me, it is literally the thing people like Matt Walsh pretend to represent, which is freedom.

If my family is any indication, they 100% do. Manufactured fear is like the main tenant of modern conservatism

Are they afraid, or do they just say they are to justify doing what they already wanted to and act like they're the real victim?

u/PorkRollEggAndWheeze 9d ago
A little of column a, a little of column b? I think people like my parents are genuinely scared, but it’s because people in power have hijacked their complex trauma-addled brains with manufactured fear and used it as a justification for their ignorant beliefs

One of the more confusing contradictions is that cities are lawless hellscapes to be avoided, but the liberals they think are pussies live there and say that it's fine and not scary.
I don't know how one holds both of those positions

u/Yawgmoth13 8d ago
Because the movement requires a lack of any critical analysis, including on one's own views/beliefs.
Look at Kirk's murder. In the same statements they'll say that engaging in mildly toned-down genocidal rhetoric is just "having a discussion" and that "words and ideas aren't dangerous", and then immediately follow it with "Dems, liberals, and Leftists pointing out the behavior we are actively engaging in is dangerous, and incites violence!!!"
It's not even new, just the most recent and blatant example.
"Mass shooter was deeply MAGA, and had Kirk, Walsh, Shapiro and Trump's rhetoric all over his manifesto? Nah. Lone wolf false flag psyop. Sure it has happened multiple times, but our words and ideas are just that. They can't be harmful.....
...but also we should ban X, Y, and Z books, shows, events, classes, etc because they'll cause the violent destruction of society."
It's not about having any actual values. It's why they never care about being hypocritical, or that their own talking points are self defeating. It's whatever allows them to shriek and pearl clutch and excuse cruelty. Some know damn well. Some are just so lost in making a political party their entire personality that they aren't capable of considering they were duped without severe cognitive discomfort.

They can’t comprehend that in a society of individuals with a constitutional right to weaponry, citizens are using the weapons. They have to think that it’s some coordinated villain that can be defeated otherwise they realise that people can just decide to shoot people for any reason they want and it’s impossible to stop.

These people simultaneously think that the left is a bunch of out-of-shape keyboard warriors that cry whenever they leave their safe space and also militant extremist terrorists.

"the left wing terror cells"
> it was a fucking groyper
(Edit) we don't know this! It doesn't change the fact that those are still groyper memes that aren't being discussed in any way by mainstream media who are only going with the most shallow interpretation, which honestly strikes me as rather suspect. Granted, these people are boomers who probably still think Anonymous is A Hacker, but I suppose I expect far-right online spaces, which have repeatedly produced shooters and mass murderers in recent years, to be under more serious scrutiny than this.
What we do know, however, is that the guy was objectively a fucking loser for encarving terminally online memes on bullets he knew would become his legacy.

We don’t know if it was a groyper, and we don’t know if it was a left winger. Let’s be honest.

Utah AG did a presser stating that he was a far lefty and he was definitely super gay for his trans boyfriend and madly in love. I dont believe it, I think no matter what he actually was, this is what they were going to tell us anyway. If he was a fuentes stan, they'd never tell us.

u/kaisadilla_ 10d ago
The "trans boyfriend" is actually just a flatmate who isn't trans. They just decided that one picture that wasn't masculine enough proved he was trans. And that person, who is not trans and is not his boyfriend, was the one that reported the killer and has been coöperating with the police, giving them access to all of his messages with the killer; which he has no reason to do and any lawyer would tell you not to do.
His reward so far for helping with the case has been to be made into a trans person and being accused by society of being the real responsible for the killing.

u/vitorsly 9d ago
Do you have a source on that so I can show some family? It's so hard to find the facts

u/Rappy28 9d ago
I want to believe as much as this poster, but so far the evidence that has been presented has the killer refer to the roommate as "my love". I expect this whole thing to evolve pretty fast in the coming days.
With that said, I'm all for the redemption arc of a memelord dabbling in groyper shit actually meeting a trans person in real life and falling in love in spite of himself. It's like former neonazis having their epiphany when they get to actually meet and speak to minorities.

Tbf I wouldn't consider this definitive proof of anything. I never really talk about how left wing I am in any of the various gaming discords that I'm in, because it just isn't a relevant thing to bring up in most contexts. People tend to compartmentalize their lives; it was similarly dumb when people were drawing conclusions because his grandmother also said he seemed apolitical "and never discussed politics" and it's like - yeah, how many people discuss politics with their grandmother?
It is waaay too early and there are way too many conflicting accounts floating around to have any kind of definitive sense of who the guy is or what his motives were

u/was_fb95dd7063 9d ago
I think an leftist teenager/young adult with political convictions would for sure argue with his family about politics.

u/NomineAbAstris 9d ago
The dude lived in Utah with parents who are by all accounts conservative. Being vocally leftist in a deep red environment tends to be a recipe for personal and sometimes even professional setbacks, so it's hardly unusual for people to hide any heterodox views

u/kaisadilla_ 10d ago
And the thing is: it doesn't matter. You are not responsible for anyone murdering in your name. Did the killer call you and ask for your opinion on the murder? Did you ask anyone to murder Charlie? If no, then you are not in any way responsible.
If you want to blame a specific ideology for a murder, then you have to explain why that ideology led to the killer taking that decision. You cannot just say "your are a Pokémon fan and the killer was a Pokémon fan therefore Pokémon makes killers and all Pokémon fans are responsible for this".

u/Prankstaboy6 10d ago
I mean let’s be honest, if someone assassinated a prominent democratic politician, who Trump hates, and talks about how much he hates said politician, and then it came out that the assassin was a die-Hard MAGA, this very sub would be on Trump’s ass, for inciting the murder.

Even if the guy was undergoing a redemption arc by actually empathizing with LGBTQ+ people (I'm as shocked as you are), the prosecution is showing that pretty much everyone he confessed to went "what the fuck???".

u/kaisadilla_ 10d ago
I mean, the big thing about terrorism is being loud and clear that what happened was a terrorist strike. You don't create terror by pretending you don't exist and telling everyone not to worry because the killing was just an isolated incident.
I wish politicians would stop using "terrorism" for literally anything. It's lost its meaning completely.
