    Steam? Why Steam? They’re primarily a storefront, and may as well drag Mihoyo in.

    It would make sense to pull in the major CEOs of things like Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), or Google. Google, since it’s got YouTube and Google Plus, and Facebook famously had a whole issue of their platform infamously enabling a genocide.

    They all need to turn up and just stare at Spez, it’s him and Zuckerberg that have basically done 90% of the damage

    Yeah, it’s the online forums and gaming communities that radicalized me and not the legion of drooling idiots destroying my country at the direction (or at least to the delight) of foreign adversaries. Good job, detective.

      Elon sieg heilling twice and then signal boosting facists and illegally cutting democratically approved and institutionally valid spending, that hasn’t radicalized anyone.

      Totally normal behavior.

      It’s gotta be the video games and the dark web. What’s dark web? It is any web space I don’t know about. Duh.

      I am not a fan of a few billionaires locking up every freedom we used to have so they can keep trucking toward the world’s first trillionaire.

    Besides stating the obvious, in that this government is corrupt, and that the killer was a right-wing nut, there is one thing a ton of these people don’t understand.

    Most people aren’t celebrating the killing of Kirk. Most people are celebrating that his incredibly provocative narrative, that violently rallied the fascists together, won’t be spread at the source anymore

      In the way it would have almost been better if he had survived. Just imagining him trying to justify his positions after that experience would be entertainment for the ages.

      I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure

      Do I want people to die? Nope. Live forever, or of old age or whatever. Do I want people to stop belittling others and spreading hatred and lies and for them to cease it forever? Yes. Do I wish that Kirk saw the light or the end of a gravy train and apologized publicly and disavowed all his bs? I wanted this more than anything. I would also love to see the other propagandists and conspiracists maybe think hard about consequences of their actions and cease their lies, but I live in the real world, unlike them.

      Not supporting the killing of Kirk, supporting the death of Kirk. It’s a small but important difference.

      Most people are simply mentioning how much of a piece of shit he was, and happy that he won’t be spewing his nonsense anymore

    No Twitter / X or Truth Social? Is this actually a “why aren’t you doing more to radicalize your online forum users towards our ideology” ?

    I hope they all say the same thing:

    Shit rolls down hill. You’re the hill DC. Fox news and the media are the hill. We’re the ditch where the people congregate in and drown in your shit.
