WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY: The New Left-Wing Narrative: Tyler Robinson Was a White Supremacist Republican Trump Supporter.

Tyler Robinson was a normal kid from a good family who went off to college and got radicalized. It’s a pretty common story, and reminds us that colleges and universities are in desperate need of reform. Look at all the teachers and academics openly celebrating Kirk’s death.

People who go down this deep into a rabbit hole are being driven there by the gaslighting–and the gaslighters know exactly what they are doing.

In his Commentary newsletter, Abe Greenwald writes: How to Break a Generation. “To make a terrorist, you must first break the person. And that’s what we’ve done to so many in Gen Z:”

Some, it turned out, were discovered to have been born in the wrong bodies. This designation was to be celebrated while it turned their lives into a sci-fi nightmare.
But there were other competing nightmares to deal with. Climate change was forever on the verge of making the planet uninhabitable. Democracy was dying, while fascism waited in the wings.

Then came Covid, disruption of what normalcy they knew, complete social isolation, and years lived entirely online.

By the time Gen Z were delivered into the hands of the revolutionary professoriate, they had been sufficiently broken down and were ready to be remade. AI could cover their day-to-day responsibilities while they devoted themselves to the propaganda on their screens and in their classrooms. All that was left was for them to go out into the world and finally be something.

The writings left by some Gen Z killers read less like manifestos than dystopian personal diaries. And that’s probably what they should be understood as, reflections on the devastated life that made them who they are.

Meanwhile today, within the leftist enclaves of social media:

UPDATE: The Banality of Banality: “Robinson appears to be exactly the sort of product that the education establishment and the progressive left hope to produce by age 22. Call him the New Soviet Man for the 21st century. It is fortunate that they captured him alive as a specimen that can be studied in isolation.”
