> This whole incident shows we are the product. Our fear, anxiety, and paranoia is commodified by the algorithm. Social media does not advance political struggle. It just makes us cannibalistic consumers of our own worst impulses for the benefit and profit of fascist-friendly oligarchs. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19y2SQSPVU/

Arun Gupta tries to sort out some "race to conclude"...

> It looks like the rot starts with a dude named Adam Cochran. It appears Gov. Cox's press conference announcing Robinson's capture was about 10 a.m. ET. At 11:04 a.m., barely an hour later, Adam Cochran sends out a ten-tweet thread (screenshot #6).

1/10 So the fake claims of "trans" and "antifa" symbols comes from both ammo stamps and casing inscriptions wrongly reported. They try to paint Tyler as left, but like Crooks this is a fringe right wing Groyper. Here's the details on registered Republican, Tyler Robinson:

> I[Arun Gupta] asked an African-American man from Brooklyn why he was there. He said twice, “Something’s afoot,” hinting at a sinister conspiracy. He also mentioned the economy, saying, “We’re getting raped in the pocketbook.”

> Kathy, an immigrant from the Philippines who lives on Long Island.. was concerned about “illegals” and wants them deported. “Stop paying them,”.. a nod to a conspiracy theory that the federal government lavishes money on undocumented immigrants.. everyone.. interviewed.. was both an election denialist.. and mentioned high prices and inflation as a reason she supported Trump. When asked what she likes about Trump, she said, “He’s normal.”

Triumph of the Swill: A Night at the Garden with Trump and MAGA

Trumpism is capacious. It contains contradictions and absurdities. It borrows from the left and the right. An explosive mix of love and hate propels it. Anyone can afford the price of admission. They only need to embrace Trump, MAGA, and conspiracies. MAGA was in force on a crisp Sunday afternoon outside Madison Square Garden in late October. I joined tens of thousands of faithful seeking entry to the Woodstock of fascism. The lineup featured some of the worst people in America: Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, Rudy Giuliani, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Jr., JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, Elise Stefanik, Trump’s progeny, C-list racists and cranks, and the Demagogue-in-Chief himself.

> It was a hatefest. But that description, replicated across liberal media, is as one-sided as Trump calling the hours of bigotry a “lovefest.”
....
> That isn’t enough to win the presidency, but the Democrats are assisting him with inflation, endless wars, and decades of turning right-wing atrocities into bipartisan policies...
