1. La Derecha Acusa a la Izquierda.
Inmediatamente después del tiroteo, una narrativa predominante desde la derecha fue culpar a la "propaganda de izquierda". Se argumentó que los medios, los políticos demócratas y el sistema educativo habían radicalizado al tirador, presentándolo como una víctima de un lavado de cerebro ideológico que lo llevó a cometer el acto violento.
- The shooter was a victim of radical left propaganda, from the politicians, media and education system. But you are familiar with propaganda i guess.
- So the killer was a brainwashed left-wing lunatic, who had been convinced that charlie was a “fascist”. Who convinced the killer charlie was a “fascist”? the endless barrage of hateful propaganda from the left-wing media and the democrat party….
- Democrats and the left entirely to blame for shooting. Shooter was the product of leftist propaganda.
- The lunatic shooter, according to his parents, turned hard left with his politics recently. Radical antifa stuff. He also wrote radical leftist propaganda on the bullet casings.
2. La Izquierda Señala la Violencia de la Derecha.
En contraposición, muchos comentarios señalaron un patrón de violencia proveniente de la derecha, afirmando que la mayoría de los tiradores masivos son individuos radicalizados por la propaganda de derecha. Esta perspectiva sostiene que el asesino era en realidad un extremista de derecha que atacó a la víctima por no ser lo suficientemente radical, y que la narrativa de un tirador de izquierda es una fabricación para desviar la atención.
- Classic nazi technique: incite violence, do the violence, blame the other side for the violence. Almost all shooters—targeted assassins & mass shooters—have been rightwingers driven insane by rightwing propaganda.
- Yet another mass shooter, yet another trump sign in his yard. Wild how the pattern shows it's constantly right wing violence yet it's somehow the left that's violent. Propaganda.
- Short: a person who made a living from spewing hate & right-wing propaganda to young adults was apparently killed by a person who believed that the former's hate & right-wing propaganda did not go far enough, while major media & politicians blamed the murder on those targeted by both propagandists.
- Nyt causes more political violence and death by spreading right-wing propaganda and misinformation. The shooter was a magat groyper.
3. La Víctima como Agente de Propaganda.
Una parte significativa de la discusión se centró en la propia carrera de la víctima, descrita como la de un propagandista que se enriqueció difundiendo discursos de odio, racismo, misoginia y desinformación. Aunque se condena la violencia, muchos expresan sentimientos encontrados, sugiriendo que la víctima cosechó la misma violencia que promovió con su retórica.
- Man spreads hateful, violent & racist propaganda. Man is violently murdered in a high profile public execution. Maga doubles down on hateful, violent & racist propaganda.
- While i abhor gun violence of any kind, when you spend your life peddling lies and propaganda and violence, it shouldn’t be surprising when it happens to you. It’s unfortunate, but his rhetoric came back for him.
- In reality, he was a professional racist who raked in tens of millions of dollars pushing divisive rhetoric, ugly white supremacist lies, and blood-soaked pro-gun propaganda. His death was a tragedy, but so was his life.
- He was a garbage human being. His 'legacy' is seeding the rot decaying america's foundations. A proud hatemonger who monetized racism, sexism, violence & propaganda.
4. El Asesinato como Herramienta de Propaganda.
Más allá de la identidad del tirador, muchos comentarios denuncian cómo el asesinato fue inmediatamente instrumentalizado con fines propagandísticos. Se percibe un esfuerzo coordinado para convertir a la víctima en un mártir, unificar a la base política y justificar futuras acciones represivas, utilizando la tragedia como una oportunidad para avanzar una agenda política.
- The shooter is dead and now they’ll turn it into a propaganda event. Bad enough it happened and they’ll make it worse.
- Propaganda through and through. Trump's people don't care who took the bullet or how it happened, they just need a martyr to help reunite them after trump's bumbling has caused many of his former supporters to fall off.
- I think just with how they've capitalized on the death of not even a politician to shove out propaganda we're getting just a taste of how insane maga would get if anything happened to trump.
- A guy who comitted his life to bringing fascist idiocy to the us, deserves to have his death exploited by them as a propaganda opportunity. In death a tool, as in life a tool.
5. La Guerra de Desinformación.
El contexto general revela una profunda desconfianza y una guerra de narrativas en la que la verdad es secundaria. Los usuarios son conscientes de que están inmersos en una batalla de propaganda, donde la desinformación inicial se adhiere fuertemente a las creencias preexistentes y donde cada bando lucha por imponer su versión de los hechos antes de que se conozca la realidad.
- I've no idea what this guy's actual motives were. I do know that msm & right wing are actively writing a script where this is an act of violence from the left. America is in a war of ideas & propaganda.
- One of the more disturbing things about propaganda is that disinformation heard first is clung to by those whose narrative it fits, despite the eventual truth being revealed. The ck shooting is a huge case study in that.
- It’s a classic disinformation propaganda campaign. They are leveraging this hideous murder to pursue disinformation while no one knows who did this.
- Fyi: we still don’t know shit about the suspect nor do we know his motivations but it is freaking hilarious how the right’s propaganda, once again, melted into a puddle of liquid dog poop.
