There were also inscriptions on three recovered unfired casings. Those said:

"Hey fascist! Catch!" followed by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols

"Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao"

"If you read this, you are gay LMAO"

Lmfao shitposting on the casings

But also, that seems like a deeply stupid thing to do, and makes me suspicious that it’s a plant. They are dying (heh) to construct a casus belli against anyone who opposes their fascist agenda, and the fact that this dovetails fucking perfectly with that effort is unbelievably suspicious to me.

Also there isn't a ton of room even on rifle casings to inscribe these. Especially the oh bella one. That one in particular raises my eyebrow.

You're correct. It's fake. Reports of this have been retracted.

How the fuck would you fit all those words on bullet casings anyways.

My instant first thought. This never had even a moment of credibility and you would think the folks who like to play with guns all the time would see through it as clearly. How do folks function on a daily basis without a single thought ever passing through their brains? MAGA is more like mass-psychosis than any sort of political movement.

They don't care. It's a team game for them.

Are you sure this is current info? Last I saw the initial claims of "trans ideology" on the casings was bullshit but the anti-fascist and Helldivers2 messages were confirmed.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Might want to edit this. Sounds like except for the trans part it was true

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Do you mean TRN?

up arrow symbol, a right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols

That’s a Helldivers 2 reference for those who don’t know.
