Kirk was incredibly annoying. Annoying enough for all this… well, clearly ol’ Tyler made his decision on that front (allegedly).
Being a “vaguely right winger with indescribable politics” is basically 90% of Americans though. I think this guy was definitely more dabbling in the 4chan style memes which are more right wing. Based on the bullet casings.
I did say before he was 100% a groyper. I later made a comment responding to someone where I sort of toned that down to 100% terminally online, 4chan, “gamer culture.” Basically aligned heavily and integrated into those communities based on the “memes.” 4chan, for the record, is packed to the gills with Nazis who are furries, pro-LGBTQ to varying degrees, etc. One moment they’re talking about hailing Adolf and the next they’re talking about wanting an anime catboy partner or whatever. It’s been that way for at least 15 years. (And of course many are super hardcore against any thing viewed as not “cishet white people” across the board.)
The political views the average American can simultaneously hold in their mind, while remaining resolute that they are not political views at all, is honestly incredible.
I thought there was a good chance he was a groyper, and now I would back that off to saying he was at a crossroads of sorts. It seems he could have been more extreme into several things but never quite committed to anything and touched grass too much for most hooks to grab him. He could have been a groyper, tankie, or blue maga but all those things require time he was not willing to give. A little more time, and maybe he would fall into a particular slot.
Then again, there is so much we will probably never see like his browsing history, all of his socials, anything the feds were too incompetent to find. Unless some serious stuff comes out in the trial, I don’t think we’ll ever have hard confirmation.
