They havent even caught the shooter... they dont even know they are a leftist.

They could be, likely are, but it doesnt matter. If it turns out to have been someone on the right or someone from outside the US political spectrum it will be swept under the rug.

The right are hijacking this to spread propaganda. Utter bollocks

    WSJ published a story this morning reporting that “sources” claim they found a hunting rifle in the woods and unspent ammo that had “trans and antifa ideology” written on them.

    If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.

    It's not even likely. I was born in 1980 there have been thousands of mass shootings since then in the US. Two of the shooters in the last 45 years had leftist tendencies. The vast majority of them were hard line right wingers.

    I noticed on Reddit. Within a half hour boys and Fox News along with other right wing voices were already pushing a very extreme anti leftist propaganda across the board. Before he was even announced dead and obviously before anyone even knew who the shooter was.

    It was so wild to see it happen live as if it was an ad campaign that was planned for release.

    They are using it to advocate for significantly more violence. I don't really want to advocate for violence but what else can you do if people are trying to remove your rights?

    Oh yeah, blockades and general strikes would be a good one to try first. Fuck, even property damage is better than killing people.

    For whatever reason it's near impossible to act as a group in this country. The bigger the movement the bigger the target and oligarchy rallies and kills it in it's crib. The economic and propaganda stranglehold is too tight.

    And so individual acts that can be planned and executed under the oligarchy's radar (like what happened yesterday) are seemingly the only things left.

    That's why they are pushing the surveillance shit hard.
