Sharing for those of you who do not have a 20-something at home to clear things up:
Text: First Panel: Groypers are an ultra-nationalist Neo-Nazi group born out of the 2010's meme culture, led by Nick Fuentes, who in 2019 started what was dubbed "the Groyper Wars." They targeted the left, but also Mainstream Conservatives.
Second panel: Charlie Kirk was one of the main targets of the Groyper Wars. He was considered a "fake conservative" because he accepted debate with gays and Jews. Groypers routinely attempted to derail his debates and force him into extreme positions.
Third panel: Groypers used progressive symbols as strategy to confuse people about their actual beliefs. For example, the protest song "Bella Ciao" was chosen as one of the "theme songs" of the Groyper wars.
Fourth panel: "Hey, Fascist, Catch," is a meme referencing a code for the total annhilation in the shooting game Helldivers2. "Notices bugle OWO what's this" is another hateful meme used to harass the furry community, a common target of the Far-Right.
Fourth Panel Continued: Tyler Robinson is a soldier in the Groyper Wars who has fallen so deep into internet culture that most people can't even recognize it.
So he's a Far-Right Extremist who shot Kirk because he didn't think Kirk was far enough to the right. What reaction to this are we seeing on the Right? Either they have dropped their weepy worship of Charlie Kirk (who to be fair was hardly any sort of hero) and are pretending nothing happened the way they do when someone who isn't trans shoots up a school; or they continue to claim that the shooter was a liberal.
Facts don't matter. Only their feelings matter.
