    Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Shits like a duck, it’s prolly a duck.

    Well, that’s kind of the problem. As much as I want to believe it, it just doesn’t really fit. The things written to the casings… well I’m sorry, the only people I know writing “OwO what’s this” or “catch this fascist” are very left-wing.
    Sure, it may be possible that they also ironically made fun of such things, but it’s definitely not the intuitive thought

    So the only thing that actually would lead to that is his “internet activity” and yeah, that’s what the original person asked. What activity is known that really shows he was far-right.

      that’s just it. The OwO what’s this is mocking furries, and is a meme groypers pass around alot.

      “Catch this fascist <arrows>” is from helldiver’s 2, which is a somewhat-over-the-top display of the american kind of liberation. By which I mean, you bomb the shit out of things. the catch this with the arrows is literally the player calling in an orbital nuclear strike. The game is meant for you to understand that you’re not playing the heroes, but a lot of nazis and fascists still enjoy playing it; like how a large number of them love playing WH40k. The game lets them be openly fascist in a way that’s normally frowned on in society.

      his internet activity includes being on certain discords in which groypers hung out, as well as comments on social media.

      you can cast inferences all you want, but taken as a whole; it’s shaping up to a picture of him being a follower of nick Fuentes.

        Yeah, but… furries pass it around even more. Writing that on a shell like that would be super in character for many of my friends.

        I don’t say that it’s impossible or that such people wouldn’t also do that in a mocking way. But saying that this is the intuitive thought is just wrong.

        So the main answer should be just the activities. Being on certain alt-right Discord servers or something is a unique clear thing only those do. So when asking why he’s considering a groyper, those are the things you should say, since they’re actually… strongly indicating he truly was one and supporting them. Writing this stuff is maybe not a contradiction, but it’s definitely not a proof.

          You can’t take it in isolation, though. And that was the point I was making, that you ignored.

          If you want to take anyone’s life out of context like that, you can probably make Trump a leftist. You just have to ignore all the RWN bullshit.

        Yeah, their governor is claiming he was romantically involved with a trans woman though. Could just be a roommate, but I imagine that would be hard to figure out beyond saying “hey were you guys romantically involved?”. Sounds as if she had been part of tipping off the police or at least giving them group chat messages or such.
