It's a really bad pysop. Even on Twitter people are just calling oit the FBI and CIA as sloppy.
Like this dude is a total brown guy mexicano ONLY posted on a Russian site and is a White supremist?
They knew all this about this guy, yet we're still waiting for the Trans Manifesto? Lmfao, you can't make this up.
Truth is, they're sloppy because the young 20-something activist they hired are not only inexperienced, but lacking any real vision but the usual buzzwords.
However, more importantly, the OP is biased and ideologically slanted, therefore these facts probably won't resonate among the left. Why should it? Better a patsy no one cares about with all the right buzzwords shooting randomly, than the trans shooter targeting Christians.

If the time comes where we need to take our country back by force, no identifying patches will be allowed. Because those whom the FBI label as "right wing extremists" will be the heroes who get rid of top-level radical officials...those who ruined America.

The left doesn't want Gun Control, they want to ban them. Period.
Secondly, your pendantic wall of text did nothing.

The state of Texas —by popular outcry from Hispanic voters— views white as a race and Hispanic as an ethnicity. So, “Hispanic of white race, Hispanic of black race, Hispanic of any race, Native American Hispanic are categories you can choose on govt paperwork including census.
It goes to the racial/ethnic categories of the conquistadors. Criollo and mixto are 2 important Spanish language labels in Latin America. Google them. They have cognates in Texas rural culture.
Tejanos are hispanics that were in Texas before the republic 1836-1848.
“I didn’t jump the border— the border jumped me!”
I'm on the left, and I want sensible gun control, which in my case does including banning assault rifles.
And you seem to be stereotyping all Hispanic people in Texas as one monolithic, low-income, mainly Spanish-speaking group in another post of yours, and feel justified in doing so because you are evidently Hispanic as well.

First someone says this.

Then they open a can of cognitive dissonance with this.
And you seem to be stereotyping all Hispanic people in Texas as one monolithic, low-income, mainly Spanish-speaking group in another post of yours, and feel justified in doing so because you are evidently Hispanic as well.
'Sensible' would begin with reading existing laws such as the 1968 Gun Control Act, and The 1993 BradyHandgun Prevention Act that specifically state 'NUTCASES' are verboten from owning firearms.
And yet ALL the gun control in the world does nothing to stop those from killing people-That's against the law & and THEY'RE NUTZ.
I want those on the left to stop speaking out of their #'s and actually read existing laws since it's the SENSIBLE thing to do.
PS the act of calling for senisble gun control paints ALL gun owners/would be gun owners as a monolithic mass shooter just waiting to happen.
As for firearm semantics, I used the term "assault rifle", not "assault weapon". And according to the dictionary, it is a rapid fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use. Obviously, in common parlance it refers to magazine-fed semi-automatic rifles, which however can be modified (illegally) to auto-fire. The big problem with these semi-auto rifles are their still relatively high rates of fire and large magazines, which make them very lethal in mass shooting situations.
I agree with you that the current gun-control laws aren't enforced well enough, but removing the above mentioned semi-automatic rifles from the market place would preclude nut jobs who aren't known to be nut jobs from obtaining them (for the most part).
