    Clearly, there was a lot of gaming going on, friends that have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, Reddit culture and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep.

    Legacy media (and most independent media as well) is so ill-equipped to address this topic. Watching talking heads read the bullet casings over the past few days, the best they can do is slowly read it out like it’s a different language and ruffle their noses with zero analysis or context.

    IMO, it looks like it’s a terminally online, irony poisoned, nihilistic shooter. Everything is a joke, everything is bleak. Sincerity is cringe. Etc. It’s impossible for normies to understand that whatever is written is dripping with sarcasm and irony, not sincerity. He could’ve wrote the navy seal copypasta and they’d be reaching out to the military for comment on whether or not he had a service record.
