At thos point my strategy when something horrible happens is to tell people literally anything other than the fascist lie that's gonna come out, so the fasch lie has to overcome that.

"This school shooter was a maga dude" or "incomprehensible 4chan shithead" even if there's literally no info and we dont even know if he's finished, so the totally unfounded also-before-we-even-know-who-did-it "was trans antifa!" line doesn't stick.

Edit: shit. Last comment on this account.

    Horrible, but I can’t say I am against it… my approach of “let’s wait and see before making a judgement” is usually completely drowned out…

    My in-between is to say, "Well, statistically, they're far more likely to be a right-wing extremist. We should explore why this ideological side exploits the mentally unwell at a far greater rate!"
