Now do the writings from the other 100 mass shooters this year… Oh yeah they are Trump loving America-First nut jobs and their writing mimics the conspiracy theories and racism of Republican leadership. Let’s see the writings of the Trump supporter who stabbed a six year old fifty times just like two weeks ago.
When there is a right wing manifesto for a shooting it is very quickly released to the public. That is why there is controversy around this because it appears to be blatantly partisan to block a manifesto simply for being from the “wrong” side.
There’s “controversy” around this because insecure males get too uncomfortable when an effeminate male makes their pee pees tingle.
Bingo. I agree, typically these shootings are done by more radical right wingers, but the one time it’s done by mentally ill leftist, there’s a blatant effort to keep it under wraps.
Edit: lol keep downvoting… I’m still right.
The majority of them aren’t specifically left or right. There’s been a few right ones in the last few years that are paraded in the news nonstop but nowhere near enough to call it “typical.” The silence around this one is far more telling than the actual statistics on motives. Now if you expand the definitions beyond random public massacres and include gang shootings to get to the desired “300th mass shooting this year” metric then the typical politics of the shooters swing wildly away from the right.
The bottom line is the perpetrators of the type of horrific events the average person thinks of when they hear “mass shooting” are going for media attention which triggers more. The media coverage is the final cause of these so nonstop coverage highlighting a right wing connection sets off other deranged people with similar thoughts. I don’t think any of them on either side should get the attention or publicity but selecting which ideologies to give 24/7 coverage is even worse than publicizing them all.
we should be able to see them all. i don’t know why you’re making it a partisan issue.
You can and it’s not.
What we should see are the bodies.
The kids splattered beyond recognition by military weaponry.

If they were as accessible and available as guns such that in the mind of many Americans they represent solutions to problems instead of the problem itself, no I would feel the same. They aren’t though and it’s not a smart analogy.

Yeah? You’ve seen the handwritten journals of right wing mass shooters?
Handwritten journals don’t get released, at least not outside the legal process. Social media posts get released, they’re public.
Are you really this clueless?

The literal point of this post is to point out there seems to be an actual conspiracy to sweep this case under the rug.
Yeah there’s not though.
It’s very common for the far right to fabricate a story and then use that fabrication as “evidence of a conspiracy to hide the truth because nobody else is talking about this thing we made up!”
It’s a perfect positive feedback loop for the rubes out there.
Oh I know. Crowder and Shapiro and all of them get a fax every morning with daily, far-right talking points. It’s easy to coordinate and organize your messaging when your benefactors have unlimited money.

The name of the game is statistical significance.
Edit: changed relevance to significance
This story originates from Fox News and is distributed by Fox affiliates. Fox News has testified in court (multiple times) that their content is untrue, simply for entertainment, and that no reasonable person would confuse their content for fact-based reporting of true events.
In short, this story lacks veracity. Every word uttered by conservatives is deception or manipulation. This story is written by conservatives. Do not believe it.

But it should be no surprise that it’s not published on leftist platforms.
So… Normal news outlets are “leftist”?
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Never, ever believe the word of a conservative. Never.

Right-wing narratives is always based on a pack of lies, and so is everything that emanates from it. It’s not “tribalistic,” it’s just right-wing ideology working as designed - protecting and expanding privilege and power.

No… I’m afraid that’s actually what right-wing ideology exists to do - protect and expand the privilege and power of the already privileged and powerful. It has no other reason to exist.
Since that power and privilege is always - as in, with zero exceptions - completely unjustified, it can only be based on lies and nothing else.
That is what right-wing politics is all about. Always has been, always will be. It really is that simple.

I’d grab a link from many of the other sources available, but I’m coming to learn that just like reddit, there’s a clique on Lemmy that acts just like MAGAs. When they don’t like a story, they’ll attack the source, not the content.
I get it though, being a commie in this society is hard. At least you have this safe space.
Commie? What does calling out fake “news sources” have to do with communism. Can you even define communism? Go ahead. Define it. Then explain what it has to do with calling out Fox News for their own sworn statements.
Your use of right wing buzzwords reveals the weakness of your position. Save your butt-hurt mewling for a conservative platform where fascists are more welcome.
Lmaooooo
There it is!
“Can you even define communism?”
Yeah, fantasy. LOL
This story has been reported by multiple sources now, but it doesn’t matter. Because this doesn’t fit the agenda of the ultra left. It is evident this story was being swept under the rug to hide the truth that mass shootings aren’t just a right wing thing. They’re more often a mental health thing.
And no, I don’t belong to any sort of right wing forums. What I’m saying isn’t radical or really right wing. Do you really want Lemmy to just be another safe space, circle jerk, echo chamber? Where’s the fun in that? How do you improve or learn if you’re never challenged. It’s naive and childish to want to be in places where one is never countered, where points are never challenged.

Conservative points are fascist points. Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Never in history has a conservative entered a conversation in good faith. As such, there is no reason to enter into a conversation with a conservative.
Nearly every act of bigotry, misogyny, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia and antisemitism has been committed by conservatives. We should teach our children why it is immoral to keep relationships with conservatives.
Yes clearly there is nothing inbetween American Conservative (extreme far right) and Commie. You got it, there are two flavours of politics, commies and 'muricans.

Lmao okay buddy
I’m not your buddy pal!
Thanks, your reply made it clear that you’re a cunt and whatever motivations you had for posting this were that of a cunt.
Triggered.
Welcome to america, where even the ultra left are school shooters too. It’s in the culture. It’s in the blood.
Lol all it took to trigger you was for someone to criticize Fox News’ integrity. I’m sure they appreciate you falling on the sword to protect their reputation.
As typical for a conservative, good old fashioned projection!
LOL fox is a joke. But the story has some feet. It’s being reported widely, there’s even other sources in this very thread. But I get it, the content makes your butt ouchy
You probably think a white genocide is actually happening
I don’t know, I’m a Canadian Jew. I’ve been lectured all sorts of ways of how I should feel these days.
You sound like a shitty person from everything I’ve seen
Yeah, well commies jerking each other off is pretty shitty too.
And what better way to respond than by adopting the talking points and vocabulary of the far right?
Everything that is counter to your opinion is far right. Right?
I didn’t even have to read the comments and already I knew you would say that
news community posts fox news
Thanks for your contribution to Rupert Murdoch’s fascism circus being out in front of my eyeballs every single fucking day.
This poor guy probably never saw the text messages released in the Dominion lawsuit between Fox talent like Tucker Carlson and management describing their audience as a bunch of gullible morons.
This feels like a situation where everyone knows about a person cheating on their spouse, except for the spouse, and everyone is too uncomfortable to say anything to them about it.

So the whole reason to block the writings are to hide the fact the shooter targeted wealthy families and to prevent copycats.
The attack definitely falls under class warfare. Why target kids though? That’s the f’d up part of this.
From Wikipedia, it appears that he attended school there when he was 10, and the victims were age 9. Sounds like a very targeted motive for the shooting.
Absolutely, but the targets were not their bullies. They were just kids.
Sounds like the ahooter saw it as attacking the setting/system and not individuals. Fucked up since the 9 year old kids don’t choose where they attend or what socioeconomic class they are a part of.
No, there was no need to release the manifesto and it was only released to stoke the “whites are in danger” crowd.
Yeah. That’s messed up.
Sources that aren’t Fox, they don’t deserve clicks:
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/06/us/nashville-investigation-shooter-online-writings/index.html
A white FtM, fighting white privilege by killing children. That is what I managed to gather.
Do note that the source is Fox Entertainment. (Legally they aren’t a news source.) This is to be taken with a massive grain of salt, as they have been proven to intentionally post misinformation to further their agenda.
My guess is some form of misguided resentment. Some people detest anyone that they think has it better in life than they do
I don’t understand the kids part. Maybe because they’re easy kills? Even if this is about class, it’s not going to win anyone over if kids are dying.
