Well they buried tumbler ridge pretty quick. I wouldn’t be surprised given this asshole is a leftist extremist that it will be buried too.

They're already trying to paint him as far right. The only time I hear the term "incel" used is as a reference to far right.

His views were actually extreme left/communist revolutionary. I heard some parts of the manifesto today, he was definitely not far right, sort of a weird communist with some right wing sprinkled in, but mostly just communist misogynist.

But, the media will do their best to paint this as far right extremism, when the guy literally talked about wanting to take down capitalism and start a revolution.

But yeah, it may just be memory holed immediately like the whole tumbler ridge thing. It's amazing how quickly that disappeared. Politicians used it to score a few sympathy points and then fucked off and forgot about the whole thing. Pretty disgraceful of them, they all needed their photo ops visiting the town.
