1. La Campaña de Desinformación de la Derecha.
La narrativa principal del documento se centra en las acusaciones de que, inmediatamente después del asesinato, influencers de derecha y simpatizantes de MAGA lanzaron una campaña coordinada para etiquetar falsamente al tirador como un extremista de izquierda, a pesar de la evidencia que apuntaba a una ideología de extrema derecha.
- A democratic legislator was assassinated; right-wing influencers coughed out disinformation i find it beyond belief that anyone would concoct and publish these statements.
- The right wing disinformation campaign is pushing really hard to spread the false narrative that the shooter was hired by walz to murder democrats who crossed party lines.
- Already spreading viral videos, falsely identifying shooter as a member of the dsa. The right-wing disinformation machine never stops.
- The right-wing disinformation machine spun up lies about the minnesota lawmakers shooting suspect, falsely painting him as part of the left despite a lengthy right-wing history and a hit list of democratic politicians, pro-abortion rights advocates, and abortion providers.
- The maga disinformation machine has been pushing that the gunman was a dem disgruntled by a vote she made with republicans.
- Vance boelter, the man accused of killing dfl house leader melissa hortman and her husband and shooting and injuring dfl sen. John hoffman and his wife, voted in the march 2024 minnesota republican presidential primary, belying online disinformation that has sought to paint boelter as a leftist.
2. Contranarrativas y Acusaciones de Violencia de Izquierda.
En contraposición, una facción de usuarios afirmó que el tirador era, de hecho, un izquierdista y que las acusaciones contra la derecha eran una táctica de desinformación para desviar la culpa y demonizar a los partidarios de MAGA. Estos comentarios insisten en que la izquierda es la verdadera fuente de la retórica violenta.
- All of bluesky is spreading disinformation and using copium to buy into it. The shooter was a leftist. This is well established.
- You are so full of it. There is no disinformation out there. It is the truth that the democrats choose not to acknowledge.”someone could get killed.” true did you denounce the rhetoric that lead to 2 assassination attempts on president trump?
- He was repeatedly claiming the shooter was a maga extremist republican. While it may be petty, it was disinformation. His purpose was to smear maga and paint trump supporters as crazed murderers, even though the truth was otherwise.
- Replies/posts like these are hilarious. I'm screenshotting all of them to later demonstrate how the left was actively spreading disinformation and propaganda to try to disavow their assassin.
- The left is to blame for the violent, hateful rhetoric in this country - full stop. The shooter was radicalized by liberal hate speech and disinformation. Bluesky needs to be investigated by the fbi for allowing the promotion of violence.
3. El Peligro de la Desinformación y la Violencia Armada.
Más allá de las acusaciones partidistas, muchos comentarios reflexionan sobre las consecuencias más amplias de este fenómeno. Se destaca cómo la combinación de desinformación, polarización política y el fácil acceso a las armas de fuego crea un entorno peligroso que fomenta la violencia política y socava la confianza en las instituciones democráticas.
- This isn't noise or an isolated incident. It’s a political assassination fueled by big lies, then amplified by influencers for clicks. Today’s violence in minnesota, paired with mass disinformation, is a wake-up call for how fragile public trust has become.
- This has to stop. It’s two things: 1. The disinformation that encourages the acts and 2. The guns.
- I would argue exposure to non-stop disinformation and propaganda on social media contributes to gun violence.
- Easy access to guns fuels the deadly intersection of disinformation and political violence. As long as gun industry-backed politicians refuse to take action, gun violence will continue to seep into every facet of american life.
- Political assassinations are corrosive to democracy and freedom. (i said the same thing at the attempt on trump's life.) stop spreading disinformation.
- This disinformation cycle happens with every single right wing politically motivated murder or mass shooting in america, by the way, but the legacy media and law enforcement increasingly plays an active role in perpetuating the cycle.
