Fantastic post and love your work.

This is all part of a broader pattern that feeds into his narrative about the radical left. While his words sound like political theater, they strategically direct people toward engineered narrative traps that reinforce his talking points.

We analyzed and documented how the 'radical left' narrative was being systematically built to lend credibility to his claims, long before yesterday's announcement. They've been constructing this digital narrative infrastructure for some time, so when moments like this arise, the information environment is already primed to support whatever expansion he wants to make.

Political theater meant as yet another attempt to counter the divisive effect of the Epstein debacle. Trump's lifeboat is taking on water, and the Kirk shooting will continue to be exploited bigly. This includes the full-throated paranoia of dusting off the hoary old "antifa" bullshit.

It’s been 55 years since Kent State. We’ve come no farther in some ways. All the hateful lies and angry rhetoric designed to pit 1/2 the nation against the other was just as filthy and shameless in 1970. On that day, when the National Guard opened fire on a college campus of unarmed student protesters, 4 kids were shot to death, including one boy, age 20, named Jeffrey Miller, shot in the mouth as he no doubt incredulously faced the firing squad. Moments later, the 14-year-old runaway, Mary Ann Vecchio he’d been talking to realized he was shot, fatally, and knelt down next to him screaming for help. Her desperate scream was caught on film by a 21-year-old college photographer, who won the Pulitzer for the image.

What followed was a misinformation campaign by the right to destroy Vecchio’s character and her humanity in an attempt to help Nixon and the government escape accountability.

The then governor of Florida said this about her, claiming without evidence that she was “part of a nationally organized conspiracy of professional agitators” that was “responsible for the students’ death.”

A politician, a governor of the state of Florida where Vecchio was from, called a 14-year-old runaway a “professional agitator,” perhaps even funded by a young George Soros, and said she was “responsible” for the Guard murdering students. Why am I bringing this up now? No reason. My mind just wanders I guess.

I am given to understand that Antifa is slightly more organized outside of the US, but the term "slightly" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

There are football hooligan organizations with more structure than antifa in a lot of countries.

With his personality disorder ‘Every accusation is a confession.’

The logic is airtight. He is the opposite of anti fascist, meaning he is pro-fascist.

It’s not my assessment , it’s his own (a self-own).

This is terrifying. The message is clear: you are either a nazi or a terrorist. You are either with us or against us, and if you are against us we will kill you.

No small irony in the fact that the rabid gunhumpers, after decades of insisting they needed guns to defend against tyranny, are itching to start shooting people on behalf of the first tyrant to actually show up.

At least the NRA was ideologically pure enough to say fuck no when they started talking about making it illegal for transgender people to own guns.

I bet that was a tough call for them.

There's actually nothing to stop Stupid Hitler from calling you an “Antifa terrorist” and blowing up your boat. Or your bus full of people headed for the No Kings march.

Where do I donate money to support the Antifa Agenda? Who is their main spokesperson? When is there next big rally? Where's their headquarters?

Around here it is believed they are somewhere in central Oregon. Not Crater Lake, tho. Maybe snowboarding on Mt. Hood summers. They way they dress can blend in with the shredders.

If you've signed up to work for George Soros and have not been receiving your payments, it's because you accidently signed up to work for Donald Chump, and he always stiffs his workers.

"Anty-Fa For SOROS!!" is a Trump shell company. You can tell by the name.

Please don't say " ginormous". It doesn't come close to being a word that a writer as talented as you should ever use. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We are WAY past “mechanisms” for enforcing alleged DT activity. How about insurrection, treason or disturbing the peace? It won’t matter. Kirk was an opportunity to harness rage and use it as fuel to turbocharge Project 2025 and oppress any liberal views. It didn’t matter that the shooter appears to share scant or no leftist views, a Trump supporter was assassinated and that’s enough for them. They will find ways to sue organizations in civil court for billions to force silence or compliance and put them out of business. And prosecute any protests they don’t like. Mechanics.
