the fact of the matter is their gender identity had very little to do with their obsession with school shootings, and their social media postings showed they were apart of far right fringe groups that romanticize school shootings and hateful nazi adjacent rhetoric
by no means was this person "heavily affiliated" by the left in any capacity, and the only reason goom is posting the narrative in this way is because he is well aware of this fact
I find it amusing that people so flippantly are willing to brush away the shooters trans identity as having literally anything to do with the shooting, but also are flippant with labelling anything they want as "far right". its just a big game of finger pointing to try and absolve all blame from their side.
reality is likely a heavily mixed bag inside of a deeply disturbed person's brain.
the left wing conspiracy theory floating now is that the shooter de-transitioned and blamed brainwashing for their initial transition. how does that fit perfectly with shooting up a church? how does that fit in with a clear hate for trump? how does that fit in with posts they made about militantly defending trans rights? it doesn't of course. even if we claim they had an about face and older posts in favor of trans right no longer align with their worldview why shoot a church?
whereas a trans shooter who hates trump and the Christian right that has supported militant resistance for trans rights shooting up a church makes more sense imo. i suppose there's also a chance they belong to some fringe anti-religion right winged paramilitary online group that somehow led them to believe right winged friendly fire in favor of idk even what goals was the move. anti zionism? pro-trans anti-religion right winged ideology (thats a new one for me tbh).
the truth is of course we only know one thing, they were deeply disturbed. we dont know their motivations conclusively based on either the manifesto, or their social media groups or even their social media posts. we can guess, but its all pretty pointless. social media groups arent going to stop, and if they get 1 million members 1 of those members might do something insane as a result, regardless of their political ideology. if they're mentally ill of course.
