no one is supporting adventurism while you’re not only doing that
Let me be clear: I am doing that. I think it’s cool and good as hell when people do adventurism, and so does every person on this site who won’t stop posting officer down and Luigi memes. I think adventurism is considerably less effective than well organized and well armed collective action, but it’s infinitely more effective than a hundred lifetimes spent posting on social media, holding signs at permitted rallies, or voting in bourgeois elections.
someone who had their brain replaced with a facebook feed (i.e. a fascist)
What actual evidence do you have for this? Did you just read a single line from CNN quoting an unnamed police source saying they’re guessing that the motive might be COVID-related, and then use that as a prompt to generate an entire assumed political worldview cobbled together from things you personally dislike to attribute to the guy? He was seen wearing a surgical mask by multiple witnesses. Even the third hand police speculation is that the shooter believed he was sick from getting a COVID vaccine. That pretty strongly suggests he was neither an antimasker nor an antivaxer. His family says he was suicidal, and law enforcement say he was “known to them” for reasons they’re not willing to talk about. How many times have we seen this exact scenario play out?
I don’t know for sure that this is another in a long line of blowback from law enforcement exploiting mental ill people to engineer mass shootings. I don’t know for sure that this guy didn’t vote Republican, chat with your uncle on Facebook, or whatever other banal shit you’re rounding up to “fascism”. I don’t know anything for sure about his motives and I don’t particularly need to, because it’s exceptionally easy for me to recognize that his actions resulted in a good thing without feeling any obligation to personally track down and co-sign every secret opinion that an anonymous corpse has ever had. I do know for sure what Donald Trump, RFK, and Kash Patel’s politics are, and in terms of what we’re rounding up to fascism, there is no comparison.

I had to block these two turbolibs for my own sanity, but fucking thank you. A+ post
Would not be shocked if these two fomented the but-do-you-condemn-Luigi scolding session we had back in December
