Killing some milquetoast conservative grifter isn’t “waking up”, it won’t be some catalyst for “inspiring people to take up arms against oppression” either as that stuff only happens in fairy tales (see: Luigi). All adventurism does is kills some person who gets replaced by an identical cog in the machine, throws the perp’s life away and in some cases gets opportunistically used to allow even more oppression (see: Reichstag fire).
Real change comes from organized, unified action and not from lone wolfism.
From what I’ve pieced together, it’s a guy from a MAGA family that was recently radicalized, possibly in college towards left-wingism (possibly via exposure and humanization of trans room mate?). There’s not that much evidence to suggest he was a far-righter himself (the groyper claims are literally just “yeah the engravings are a dogwhistle trust me bro” but many libs here are buying it), and now it’s just turning into a war of push from both sides being like “no it’s not OUR guy it’s YOUR guy!”.
In other words, it’s impossible to tell for certain due to how deliberately muddied the waters are by everyone.
