Final part of the post:
Final part of the post from Meagan McGovern: “It feels like intentionally a “haha I did it for the lulz”. It’s a nihilistic, “I like Helldivers, I think this guy is a fascist, so I killed him.” “It’s not that deep. He’s suicidal and depressed and there’s no real future for young white guys. He wanted to kill someone to leave a mark on the world. “Anyone claiming him or rejecting him as one of their own is missing the point: He’s every 20-something white guy. Even me. We all fantasize about being the hero and taking out the bad guys. “That’s the whole point of video games. So he saw Charlie Kirk as a bad guy because Kirk wanted the Epstein files released and was anti-Trump. “Or he saw Charlie Kirk as a bad guy because he was pro-Trump. Doesn’t really matter why, does it? “What matters is that there’s a whole generation of people who have grown up believing that a bullet with the bad guy’s name on it is the only way to change things. “And they’re being proven right every day, and they’re changing things. Things have changed since yesterday, haven’t they?”

second part of the post
second part of the post from Meagan McGovern: “You’re basically fighting anti-American sentiment internationally. “It’s clear satire, but it’s fun to fight as a fascist because you’re killing aliens who are awful. It works on both levels: Fascists love it, and anti-fascists love it, and they’re making money from everyone. “You yell “For Democracy” and kill insurgents who want freedom, but there’s no democracy, because it’s a controlled state.” So, given that, what does the Charlie Kirk shooter stand for? From my 25-year-old video-game-playing, white, history-major meme guy: “The shooter thought Charlie Kirk was a fascist. He put it on a bullet. He might think Kirk is a fascist because the shooter is so left-wing, or because the shooter is so right-wing. “It’s horseshoe theory — both sides have become so radicalized that the shooter could be on either side — there’s no distinction right now because they’re both trying to take down the government, and they both claim to be anti-fascist freedom fighters. “Two of the memes on the bullets are anti-fascist, two are weird because they’re homophobic. “They’re homophobic memes used by right-wingers — 4chan memes that have spread into right-wing circles.

Facebook post from Meagan McGovern: I’m kind of done posting about Charlie Kirk and his death. But since I have two sons who are 20-something white straight guys who play video games, I thought I’d give their take, for the rest of us who aren’t in our 20s and don’t play video games online. The inscriptions on the bullets are from a video game, “Helldivers.” I’m a big sci-fi fan, and I loved Heinlein growing up, so “Starship Troopers” was a short story and movie that mystified me: To me, it was clear that it was an anti-fascist satire, but apparently real fascists embrace it and love it. So, as one son explained it to me: “The “Helldivers” game is like “Starship Troopers,” where you’re in a fascist empire that has a special uber-mensch class who are the only defenders of democracy. “It’s very obviously a satire of American imperialism and fascism, because you’re invading sentient bugs for oil, and enslaving them in oil production camps, and enslaving sentient communist robots who rebelled.

Plutocracy vs Oligarchy. In short, plutocracy is a kind of oligarchy.
Plutocracy and oligarchy refer to power structures where a small group controls everything. PLUTOCRACY Plutocracy is a form of governance where the wealthy elite hold significant power and influence over the political system and decision- making processes. It is characterized by the concentration of wealth and economic control in the hands of a few individuals or families, leading to a system that favors the interests of the wealthy at the expense of the majority. OLIGARCHY Oligarchy is a system of government where power is held by a small group of individuals, regardless of how they have amassed it. The ruling elite in an oligarchy typically monopolize political power and make decisions that serve their own interests, often at the expense of the broader population. They can exist in various forms, such as economic, military, or hereditary.
