In reply to the discussion: Tyler Robinson donated to the Trump campaign in 2020 [View all]Celerity
(51,902 posts)20. Do explain how "Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao" (another engraving on a shell casing) is 'Groyper' related
It is from a well known Italian anti-fascist song.
"Bella Ciao" (Goodbye, Beautiful) is an Italian workers' song that gained popularity for association with the Anti-Fascist partisans of the Committee for National Liberation (Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale, CLN). It was first written in the late 1800s and sung by striking farmers in Northern Italy, but modern lyrics dedicated to the Partisans became popular in the 20th century, effectively transforming it into an anti-fascist anthem, even if it does not find its actual roots in the Italian Civil War. These days it is one of the most popular anti-fascist songs of all time, if not the most popular. Performed here by my favourite choir, the Trieste Partisan Choir (Traki partizanski pevski zbor / Coro partigiano Triestino).

just like all the projections, but it's wing nut gun violence against fellow wingnuts.

The inscriptions aren't leftist at all, apparently they're related to Groyper and gaming culture.

The song has become a part of gaming culture. Apparently, the shooter was both a Groyper and a gamer.

I see that claim now exploding here on DU, yet I've seen no convincing evidence, just conjecture and nebulous projection

not convinced at all, look at that rando (& very obscure) playlist's songs (Huey Lewis is now a Groyper tell, who knew?)

I am just going to step back and see where it all leads. If it turns out Robinson IS a RW Groyper nutter then I will

I think there is a stronger case to be made for a gamer connection with some of the messaging. Gamers are not

Fair enough, however Spotify has around 700 million monthly users (likely more), and an obscure playlist with only 341

As more facts come out and connections are made, it becomes clear the shooter's "engravings" on the casings

Seems like a lot of money for a 17-year old to donate to a political campaign
