“Context Is All” Or: Never Assume You Know What You Don’t Know

 Start with the infamous ammunition:

yeesh so much disinfo out there about the gunman

"Notices bulges, OWO whats this?" - Meme about furries/roleplaying; not political

"hey fascist! Catch! Up, right, down x3" - From Helldivers 2, satirical game, you nuke 'fascist' aliens even though you're a fascist yourself; the code launches a bomb

In short, he wasn’t talking to you. And if you don’t know Nick Fuentes, you’re even further in the dark.

"O bella ciao ..."
Italian anti-fascist song also used in Far Cry 6 and Netflix's Money Heist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpXnvXG15Hs

"If you read this you are gay lmao" Just how online edgelords talk

Is he a 'groyper'?
We don't know, though Nick Fuentes’ fans have attacked Kirk for years as anti-white

Which could well mean this:

Was a reference to Kirk not being white supremacist enough; ergo, Kirk “hated” white people. Never assume you know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

And the most terminally online thing of all. The troll:

The suspect who killed Charlie Kirk said his rifle-cartridge messages were all "a big meme," according to messages just released in court.

"if I see 'notices bulge uwu' on fox new I might have a stroke," he said.

So, yeah, it was all a shitpost.

I am reminded of Jack Webb trying to portray hippies on “Dragnet” and getting it hilariously wrong. No context for the “counterculture” at all; and no clue about it.

Got to give Trump’s “feral cunning” a little credit. He’s stopped talking about this altogether. He’s off on the date more abstract (as in “abstracted from reality) idea that it’s all about violence “on the left.” Which is pretty much anybody who isn’t worse than Stephen Miller.

All too unlikely somehow? Okay.

There’s always something obvious to you, that isn’t obvious to someone else.
