Leftist propaganda pic already debunked as it's been revealed he was in a relationship with a man pretending to be a woman.

Always with a deflection. He is a Nick Fuentes fan. Parents are Trump supporters and the trans outrgage is so forced. My gun killings are done by white male right leaning idiots than any other group. By a long way.

No they're not, just ask Charlie Kir... oh wait...

Gets even weirder with Kash Patel saying "i'll see you in Valhalla" in regard to Kirk...

Well, sort of. There have been articles all over the shop, with him being a raging, violent left wing nutter to a gun loving conservative Mormon.

Everything is propaganda at the moment.

The only thing I have been able to see as common in all of this is that his family are registered Republicans, however of course, that means nothing as he was not listed as either. He could have been anything.

And this is just another example of the division we are seeing in the world generally at the moment.

EG: The Kirk event happens, then the writers go hard, trying the make the biggest headline they can, so it gets the most clicks and the algorithm pushes it out the most.

So, the range of headlines exist, and the algo pushes certain ones to certain people depending on what you've previously read.

Some people get:
Devoted Christian, Husband and Family Man assonated while educating the Youth of America.

While others get:
Misogynistic Bigot who advocated for guns, gets shot while spreading his hatred.

It's the same event.
But depending on what story the algo pushes you, depends on what 'story' you get about it.

And even though you are aware of the different narratives going on, and how the algo works, you can't help but lean slightly towards the side you are being fed more of. You think you are being impartial, you think you are smart enough not to fall for it, but subconsciously, it does drift you slightly towards one side.

I think most people want countries to come back to the middle and unite a bit more. I think most people agree divided populations are not helpful. But bringing the people back together isn't easy.
If you were to try, how would you do it?
It's not the writers fault for writing headlines that grab attention, that's their job.
It's not the algo's fault for pushing articles and content you engage with, it's their job to keep you on their app as long as possible.

You could say that's why we need a neutral news source like the ABC. But many would say the ABC isn't exactly neutral these days, and even if it was, most people chose to get their 'news' from social media, so won't see it anyway.
It's not the people's fault that they chose to get their news from their phones either.

Solving the division is an important step, but I'm not sure there is an easy, effective way to do it.

Hate speech is what it is , a radical religious gun loving nut case bigot who is clearly racist.

Not my opinion just facts.

I can't see a way for them to even start looking at the division. It's all hate hate and propaganda.

I could go to any source I wanted and find the version of the shooter to suit my views and that's bat crap crazy. But that's the US.

No idea where this ends up. Probably just more division, more hate, more violence.
