Ok sure. If Brianna Boston is a terrorist for quoting Luigi, then Nick Fuentes and all the troglodytes on Twitter threatening women online with “your body, my choice” ought to be arrested ASAP. What a crock of shit, as my dad used to say. . Sebby G is another delulu amateur mob boss with a touchy ego and an axe to grind. I’d love to ask him if the Jan 6 mob were terrorists too. I bet I know the answer he’d give.

Doctor Gorka is baaaaack!

Weather Underground and SDS were organizations; Mangione so far as we know acted alone.

That's an important difference that will probably be lost in the rush to invent threats to the status quo.

Needed the chuckle. Gorka's doctor status is suspect tho.

They are going to pick a few people and try to make examples of them, to scare the rest of us.

:(

Law enforcement's purpose is to protect the rich. It has always been this way, and always will be, until we make things right.

Calling sympathizers of Luigi Mangione’s apparent motivation ,terrorists , is a tactic to shutdown free speech. A terrorist activity is meant to send shock and awe long after the event has passed.

Gorka added, saying that “the entitled, those who see a certain target within society and say, okay, I can use violence against that target."

Authoritarians always stir up their working class followers by claiming the "entitled" are screwing them over. Of course, Trump and his MAGA cabinet are the "entitled" personified.

Only in the US can a man who killed a corrupt CEO be equated with the OK City bomber. 🙄

"....Sebastian Gorka, told Newsmax. 'We've seen this pattern before many, many times,' Gorka added, saying that 'the entitled, those who see a certain target within society and say, okay, I can use violence against that target.' "

That is a perfect characterization of the Israeli (entitled) view of Palestinians and yes, we've seen it many times and for decades, and now we are giving it all the aid we can provide.

Happy terrorist, then. Fuck you.

Genuine question - the people who think the "deep state" is real, adherents of QAnon, etc. - what's their take on this whole situation? I thought those movements were generally unfavorable towards anyone considered elite, including CEOs. Yet it sounds like the Trumpist world is siding with the slain CEO and ignoring populist anger?

"Credible investigations from multiple media outlets

continue to suggest that during and after his career

as a Hungarian policy adviser and politician,

Sebastian Gorka, Deputy Assistant and senior

counter-terrorism advisor to President Trump,

maintained ties to, and voiced opinions supportive

of, extreme-right and antisemitic Hungarian groups

and political parties. Additionally, during this time,

Gorka wrote opinion pieces for news outlets widely

known for their antisemitic views. Gorka has denied

all allegations tying him to extremist and antisemtic

groups, while offering varied explanations for his

actions. He and his supporters have sought to

discredit media reports that have exposed his past

statements and actions, and rejected statements

from present-day members of radical groups and

other Hungarians affirming his affiliations. He and

his defenders have noted that Gorka is not known to

have personally voiced hateful or antisemitic views,

though (as is detailed below), Gorka did publicly

support the creation of an armed militia under the

auspices of an antisemitic, extremist political party."

"Dr." Gorka appears to be no longer pudgy.

How can the USA call this man a 'terrorist? He is a murderer.

US is the terrorist state along with Israel.

So much hypocrisy.

Well, what can be expected of a man who was separated at birth from Yoon Suk Yeol . . . .

The trick is going to be how to galvanize the working class without creating cults of personality (targets).
