Most ultra-orthodox Jews, especially in Israel, are not satmar.

Aren’t Spanish cops known for being more skull cracking and thuggish, not less?

Totally possible this gets pinned on trans successfully and Rico takes out some lefty groups.

In the US? Not really, no. There are a tiny handful of radical gun control activists that want some kind of east Asia tier scheme where hunters can apply for permission to own bolt action rifles kept at the local police station when not in the hunting field. But they’re about as fringe as animal rights activists(not that they necessarily overlap but the same level of hardcore nut).
It’s very plausible that if the DNC could abolish the second amendment and rewrite US gun control from scratch, many kinds of guns would be banned. It’s very plausible that purchasing the ones that are not, such as the one in this attack, would require some kind of waiting period/weekend class/whatever that serves no purpose except being annoying. But an actual ban-or near enough ban- on grandpas deer rifle is about as plausible as mandatory nude exercise or giving dogs standing to sue- yeah, you can find someone advocating for it, but you know…

One relevant difference between Tyler Robinson and David depape(who granted does seem to have been motivated by right wing prolefeed conspiracy theories, although not of a kind that are necessarily uniquely right wing) is that Robinson was immersed in living a lefty lifestyle with the trans partner. Depape was still a hippie.

I mean, red tribe failsons who washed out of trying to make it blue have been a thing. The question is why are they turning violent just now- leftism(and actual left, like left of the dems, leftism is generally an ideology of losers) has been a thing there for a while, the bartenders from Iowa who dreamt of becoming moviestars but shared an apartment and can’t get cast anywhere have always been on the left.

They are not. They are critical of the state of Israël’s policies. There is a difference.

Charlie Kirk was thé normie con par excellence. He was incredibly popular among normie cons. Fuentes is not.
But also this was a successful assassination of a leading conservative figure. Of course conservatives are going to come out of the woodwork about how much they like him- he was one of ours and he was killed by one of theirs, simple as.

Antifa has the capability to rack up a much higher body count than they currently do without improving their weapons.

Adding to this- my uncle is in contact with the natives in Louisiana. There used to be a native (lower)middle class, who were indistinguishable from the local creole/cajun working class population except for some family stories. Since they opened the casino, any functional(lots of them are severe alcoholics but alcoholism is rampant in the area anyways) ones are among the local wealthy, and they mostly hire non-native workers- either local or imported from Mississippi- for the actual doing work at tribal businesses over their own less functional coethnics.
These Indians are shrewd businessmen whose customers often do not realize they are at an Indian casino; it has a French Louisiana theme and they run courtesy shuttles to Houston. They also love Trump and are in deep with the Louisiana Republican Party. It is highly probable that the ruling clique wins elections(chiefs and tribal councilmembers are elected, and almost certainly corrupt- although again, French Louisiana) through cash/kind handouts to the less fortunate among them. They are not readily distinguished from the surrounding population physically or by mannerism.

It’s certainly possible that anti-trans could become a difficult position to defend in the minds of the public; but the more likely scenario is a salacious hate crime- of the sort which the trans lobby, for all its claims, hasn’t been able to produce yet. Rhetoric does not tend to radicalize people in favor of already unpopular groups, rather the opposite.
It’s also possible that bringing up trans is bad for whatever party is perceived as putting it in the spotlight; that’s certainly a very reasonable interpretation of recent political trends. But at the moment, democrat’s own public statements are what keeps getting them in hot water over the trans issue- yes republicans amplify them but that’s normal politics.

You live in the south, correct? Contact your elected officials and ask who to get in touch with to make a brouhaha.

Yeah, OSHA can be extreme but they don't care about workplace discrimination. That's somebody else's job.

The most plausible form of 'strict gun control' in the USA is one like in Latin America, where badly-written laws are sometimes enforced in major city centers- largely at the discretion of local police- but most people who want to own guns just own them illegally instead of bothering with paperwork requirements, regardless of their personal intentions. Criminal gangs already flagrantly violate gun control laws and the pro-gun-control party has no interest in cracking down on straw purchases or making firearms theft(the two most common avenues for criminals to evade gun control laws) a major priority for police.

I mean it's quite clear at this point that keeping lefty cancel culture and transgenderism in the public eye is very good for republican electoral prospects. Republicans just need to make it look like they're responding to left wing overreach(like they do when it's celebrating murder) so they don't seem like they're pulling shit out of their ass.

Wait, Malcolm X had a bone to pick with the end of the south Vietnamese theocracy? Like sympathy with North Vietnam is at some level expected for leftists of the era but supporting the Ngo family against the military is not what I would have expected.

I legitimately don't know how european employment law works- the closest analogue in the US that I can think of is union contracts which generally are not going to be used to defend celebrating terrorism even if they might slow down the termination process- does it require a hate speech conviction to fire an employee who says these kinds of things?

It’s amazing that in 2025 dems favourite sacred cows still won’t budge an inch on the gays.
Rephrase that as 'their two sacred cows can't get along'.
This is the inherent problem with the coalition of the fringes. Many fringe groups are not buddies and do not like each other.

Who will replace us?
History is the story of societies being replaced by more competitive societies. The Sumerians were replaced by Semites and the Beaker people by Indo-Europeans. The Diadochoi states' apartheid societies were replaced by Rome's more assimilative state. Roman paganism was replaced by Christianity. Feudalism was replaced by absolutism, which was replaced by republicanism. What is best for society is often not best for the individuals within it, molochian competition is like that. Stalin built a superpower but he paid the price in destruction of Russian lives- but he turned a backwards society one generation removed from functional chattel slavery into a superpower that dominated half the world. The Roman Empire solved the stability problems of the late republic- at a cost that contemporary sources note, but don't let us check.
Who will replace today's liberalism? Christian communities are still hanging on, of course. But their numbers are dwarfed by blacks and Muslims, and despite their paltry human capital Quantity has a Quality all its own. And of course there's AI(I expect AI to never figure out how to do maintenance on its own datacenters). East Asian societies have low fertility now, but their collectivism might give them a leg up in the future- would Koreans or Chinese accept whatever measures to raise the fertility rate, unacceptable in Europe and the Anglosphere? Or will it be a crude, bombastic secular conservatism- popcountry style?

I think this is misstating the motives of left-wing radicalism. Like, yeah, they call the GOP racist. But that's basically a snarl word. They call right wingers antisemitic but that's also a snarl word, and it's not as if they have a revealed preference for actually caring. It's pretty easy to find antisemites they're pretty cool with.
What left-wing radicals are actually upset about is sexual conservatism. Trans, yes, but also abortion, LGBT, support for abstinence.

And moreover mass casualty attacks are a known problem with a long history in Asia, with 'running amok' or Chinese mass-hacking attacks.
That’s possible. Also possible- policia armada is being handicapped for Spanish political reasons(AIUI it’s actually a thorny political issue in Spain and their government is propped up by a coalition that includes some of their equivalent of far left wackadoodles) or Spain just wants to give Palestinians a platform in a way France doesn’t.
