Is there any confirmation that the shooter was in any way a leftist, or motivated by left wing ideals? From all I know, it was some random guy who could have been a right winger who thinks Trump is centralizing the government which goes against his Ayn Rand ideology; or it could just be a loonie.

Is he? I haven’t seen any confirmation of that. But I think it said he was shot in the neck from the back, which sounds pretty lethal.

Interestingly, today I have seen a video pop up in which a guy (Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen) claims he is being persecuted by Islamic investors because he is refusing to talk about there being Muslim Vikings. Is it maybe related to this? Is this some new discovery that there were Muslim Vikings?

Just as a side note- this is a genuine question, and I have my skepticism towards Bull-Hansen that he is pretty much a right-wing reactionary judging by his videos during the last few years, but I am just wondering are these somehow connected.

To be honest, I don’t think any aid will reach anyone. I think this is a move that puts Israel in a position to either let them through (unlikely) or violently intercept them and do something bad enough that the western governments whose members are on those ships are actually forced to care by the public.

My boss is literally convinced we can now basically make programs that take rockets to mars, and that it’s literally clicks away. For the life of me, it is impossible to convince him that this is, in fact, not the case. Whoever fired developers because ‘AI could do it’ is going to regret it.
