How crazy would it be if we found out he did it for love?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 16 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

That's honestly what I'm thinking it is. He was supposedly dating a trans person and Kirk is a real POS when it comes to that topic so I could imagine him loving his partner so much that he felt the need to kill someone he sees as making life more dangerous for them.

Listen, as someone who fell in love with a trans woman decades ago (my ex), it's more plausible than you'd think. I didn't go shoot up people since I wasn't raised right wing, but love does make you do crazy things!

You mean...they're not transgender?! Who'd thunk it?!

Just mark one up against the stupid "a lot" response Kirk made when asked how many transgender shooters are out there.

Nothing confirmed as of yet

You thought that right- and left-wing extremists are the problem, turns out the center-extremists are /s

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

What makes a man turn neutral? A lust for gold? Power? Or was he just born with a heart full of neutrality?

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

When the grillers grill back!

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago

Turns out all extremists are

That is who seems to be most into 'propaganda of the deed' these days. They don't really have anything else.

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

These radical centrists are messed up in the brain, left and right can agree to that at least. (We're all fucked!)

Did they just learn about nuance and that practically nothing in life is strictly black and white?

[–] GrammarPolice@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Apparently because it's always black... at least according to them

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 19 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

The people who need to learn a lesson will never change their minds. The "Change My Mind" crowd are not there to have their mind changed, it's to try to change those who are weaker and not able to come up with conclusions on their own.

[–] Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 11 hours ago

Precisely. They're a thought-filter. They want to weed out the ones who can prove them wrong and only address the ones who're aligned with their set of beliefs.

No. You'd be able to tell by how on fire they were.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

I've been following all the news on him and he's clearly a trans groyper antifa gun enthusiast centrist who likes to play Helldivers II.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 6 points 10 hours ago

And it was a professional hit. And it was done by Trump as a distraction. And to cause a race war. And to stop Kirk from spreading hate.

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not one to condemn people on grounds of ideological purity, but didn't helldivers pull some super-proprietary registration and telemetry bullshit?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

IIRC, Sony is the publisher and wanted to require logging in through their service, but it wasn't ready at launch so it launched without that requirement and they tried to add it later.

Does Helldiver's 2 have game chat? Discord seems tame so far.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It does have a game chat. Hardly anyone uses it. Also I don't think he's that big on helldivers since he did ⬆️ ➡️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️, when he should have done ➡️ ➡️ ⬆️ or ➡️ ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ➡️

[–] sys110x@aussie.zone 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

"An Eagle never misses" though. Tough choice.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Fuck that. I can't get E1 to land 2 rockets on the hulk with my strategem beacon stuck on it's face.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 12 hours ago

Fuggin' turn it over, or let us fall through the grate. We're already burnt to a crisp.
