> The only thing that can be said conclusively about Mr. Robinson, at this moment, is that he was a chronically online, white American male.
The internet’s political communities and the open-source sleuths currently scrambling to place Mr. Robinson into a coherent ideological camp certainly won’t be content with any of this. Nor will they be satisfied with the other likelihood awaiting us: that Mr. Robinson, the son of a seemingly content Mormon family, probably possesses a mishmash of ideological stances. Some held dearly. Others not so much. They also will not be satisfied that this horrific, society-changing act of violence was most likely committed both as an ironic gesture and as a pure political statement.
Yet another tone-deaf swing and miss from an ivory-tower “””journalist”””. They make way more money than you ever will btw
