"One of the best analyses of Tyler Robinson, the suspected killer of Charlie Kirk, was delivered in a since-deleted X post. An anon noted how absurd it was for a Middle American kid from a conservative family to gravitate towards left-wing content that hates everything about him. Only through the internet could someone like Robinson abandon his true background in favor of the bizarre, anti-white, trans-loving one he embraced."
"The internet obviously has its issues, but we should never push for censorship or increased regulation. That would just hurt conservative speech and not solve any problems. We should avoid obfuscating Robinson's political motive by fixating on the internet as the problem. Kirk's assassin killed him as an explicitly political act. It wasn't driven by "nihilism" or mental illness. It was caused by leftism. Period."
A Middle American from a conservative family adopted a left-wing, anti-white, trans-affirming online identity that diverged sharply from his upbringing. That identity reportedly facilitated a political motive culminating in the assassination of a public conservative figure. The killing is presented as an explicitly political act caused by leftism rather than nihilism or mental illness. The internet is described as enabling escapes from physical-world realities, allowing people to learn new information and join distant communities. The internet is also credited with amplifying right-wing ideas against traditional media. Calls for censorship or tighter regulation are rejected as harmful to conservative speech.
