    at first I was like jesse-wtf

    then I searched and found this immediately:

    https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/ryan-carson-right-wing-smear-campaign-activist-1234841093/

    Popular pundits like Andy Ngo, Matt Walsh, and Nick Fuentes have all brought up Carson’s death, blaming it on “leftism,” anti-cop beliefs, and soft-on-crime sentiments. “The Ryan Carson story shows how leftism short circuits your brain and interferes with your ability to make common sense, instinctive judgment calls,” Walsh wrote on X (formerly Twitter). And the smear campaign has even begun targeting Morales specifically, accusing the Brooklyn writer of setting up a GoFundMe for financial fraud, making baseless attacks about her character, and going as far as accusing her of orchestrating Carson’s murder.

      Oh yeah, this story is definitely kinda big on reactionary social media right now. It reminds me of when they did the same thing to that liberal woman in San Francisco who (IIRC) was killed by an undocumented immigrant. It’s so gross.

      Edit: actually that article is a pretty good summary, might use it to make a post, something we should all be aware of what the fash are focusing on.
