Looks like the kids in Nepal elected their interim PM via vote on Discord (how about that, @The Frankish Reich?) Sushila Karki: How Gen Z protestors chose Nepal’s first woman prime minister on Discord “Nepal’s young anti-corruption protestors reportedly used the platform Discord to hold an impromptu vote to pick their first interim woman prime minister days after toppling the KP Sharma Oli government through deadly protests that spread like wildfire across the country.” *** “The parliament of Nepal right now is Discord,” the New York Times quoted 23-year-old content creator Sid Ghimiri as saying. The channel’s organisers are members of the civic organization Hami Nepal, with participants among those who took part in the protests, the outlet reported.”

The violence was abhorrent and will only lead to bad outcomes. But you’re gonna have to come up with more evidence than the fact that Kirk was a Republican and an anonymous quote that is later retracted. Definitely open to this guy being a lefty, but it’s pretty much all conjecture at this point.

Lots of people sharing a quote from a single anonymous source that the outlet has already walked back: ”Editor’s note: This article was updated on 12 September 2025 to remove summarized quotes after the verified source who attended high school with Tyler Robinson said after publication that they could not accurately remember details of their relationship.” Guardian article about Robinson being liberal Everyone looking to jump to conclusions to fit their own narrative instead of waiting for more hard facts to come out.

Here you go, bud The Constitution of the United States: A Transcription

Incorrect! The Constitution applies to both citizens, and non-citizens alike. The Framers were very careful to be clear about which parts applied to citizens, and which were for all people within the United States. You can read the text for yourself. They mention citizens about a dozen times, and "person" over 20 times. "No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States." Sections that pertain to persons are for all people within the country while sections pertaining to citizens are just for citizens.

Why do you think that?

Hopefully the tractor and dump things don’t happen simultaneously

Thanks for sharing this, it’s very well done. I don’t think most people are ready for how many violent meme cultures and communities like groypers and TCC are out there and how they don’t map onto convenient political narratives.

Kinda telling that according to you, the Dem party is pro-crime and yet the GOP cannot win an election in a city that is apparently a hellhole of crime. If you were right, should be pretty easy for a Republican tough-on-crime candidate to get elected here. Of course, that would require you being correct...

Casings reportedly included the following memes: "Notices bulges, OWO whats this?" "hey facist! Catch! Uparrow, right arrow, three down arrow" "O bella cao, bella cao cao cao" "If you read this you are gay lmao" Not ruling out he did it for the memes/lulz. Wouldn't be the first.

If you still think the National Guard deployments are to provide a solution for crime, I don't think I can help you. Sky is green or whatever you want to believe. I doubt Johnson gets re-elected.

Big, strong Donny backed down when facing pushback. Wish people would learn from this... Trump says National Guard will deploy to Memphis next, sidestepping Chicago for now

Nihilism is pretty common with some of these groups, especially with Gen Zers. Personally, if someone was part of a community that promoted violence, encouraged its members to commit violence, and celebrated them when they did, I wouldn't call the violent acts those of a "lone wolf" even if technically nobody else was legally complicit in the planning or perpetration of the violence. This stuff doesn't fit simple political narratives though. Hard to bludgeon the other side with it. Doesn't mean Kirk's shooter belonged to such a group, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I never said it was? Discord is a popular tool for chats. Lots of communities use it, including some very weird ones.

Nothing for sure, but the phrases written on the cases are very similar to ones commonly used in some online communities. So while we wait for more info, I'd remain open to the possibility that he belonged to some fringe online community and not necessarily acting on his own.
