Charlie Kirk shot and killed at Utah rally.



The discourse around Charlie Kirk is yet another reminder that the whole entire conservative model relies on 35-year-old men debating inexperienced college students.I remember 2019, when Ben Shapiro faced the indignity of having to go up against Andrew Neil, an experienced professional, and he got destroyed. He lashed out. He called a renowned conservative broadcaster a “leftist.” Because when forced to go up against someone who was on his level, he found that he actually *couldn’t* defend his ideas quite so well when they were placed under scrutiny.This is the core, fundamental fraudulence that lies at the heart of the American conservative movement: they can’t truly defend their sick and depraved ideas unless they’re playing the game on easy mode.


Yep, Kirk is that guy who plays pick up games with kids, so the adults won't dunk on him. Its pathetic really.

I checked my personal Facebook page.A leftist high school acquaintance of mine posted something vitriol about Charlie Kirk. If I took a screenshot and posted it here, it would get so much engagement. It would piss so many people off. I would have so many new followers.

But I won't.

Because most of the other posts about Charlie Kirk from my liberal Facebook friends were fine. "I don't agree with him, but political violence is not acceptable" that type of thing. If I posted those, it would get low engagement.

That's the problem with social media.
 
You most certainly did. I don’t have the inclination to go back to find it, but you most certainly did.

Edited to add: Hey, look! It appears that another enterprising poster did the hard work for me! Care to revise your statement that you never mentioned transgender? Would it absolutely kill you to just not be so damn dishonest all the time?
Maybe HE isn’t trans but his lover IS (currently transitioning from male to female). So I was close! “her” name is Lance Twiggs. The picture I’ve seen of her she’s in a Furry outfit.

Don’t think I’ll be taking the L on this one.

No looks like you will be taking the W on this one. Enjoy it.
 

And yet I've already seen plenty of right-wing social media posts claiming that the evil LibDem Deep State is "scrubbing" the truth from the news and they probably forced this poor guy to lie and retract his story. These people really are insane, and they're clearly beyond desperate to prove that the shooter was liberal and so Charlie did indeed die heroically for his Religious Right beliefs and sticking up for "Biblical Christianity". It's become an obsession with many on the right, and they'll never let it go, no matter what the truth actually turns out to be.
 
Don't know where I'm going to go with this post. Mostly just ranting.

The day it happened, my retired mom texts me about how mad she is. With Iryna being killed (she lives near Charlotte) and Charlie Kirk being killed. She knows my politics and was asking why the left does so much of this. She said, "you probably haven't even heard of Iryna because she was white." In fact, I've heard very much about Iryna, precisely because she's white. I cautioned her. One, the Iryna thing wasn't even political or racial. Just a schizophrenic who did a bad thing in a bad moment. (Sidenote: my dad always complains how violent Charlotte is and that people ought to move to Greensboro. In fact, Greensboro statistically worse.) And I said, we don't know who killed Charlie Kirk yet. Let's be patient.

When we learned that it was a Mauser, I knew it couldn't possibly be a leftist. Unless a false flag, and that would require some sort of insider government cooperation, which is not going to happen for any leftist in this country. I've been in certain circles, and I know for a fact no leftist would ever use a Mauser. I don't think I have to explain that.

Anyhow, I tried to calm my mom down by bringing up all the instances of right-wing violence recently. She seemed calmed but now she's wanting me to watch Charlie Kirk (didn't even know she knew of him until three or four days ago) videos about coming to God.

I asked if she's terminally online, like the killer, but she says no. I disagree but whatever.

And she will not let it go about the Trump attempts, despite me explaining to her over and over that the Butler one was just a "lost boy," from a MAGA family (just like this guy), who also had plans about Biden. It's just that Trump was more convenient. And the guy skulking around in the bushes at Mar-a-Lago, don't even get me started on that.

She has a heart condition and had to retire early. After Covid, when she saw how ugly people can be about masks and what-not, combined with Jan. 6th, I thought my parents were coming around. They seemed to be getting it.

I don't know what happened, but their brains have gone to mush. She's texting me today about Biden and Kamala (hated her because of her laugh, of course) and their open borders.

I mean, what in the hell?

Social media and the Internet have been a complete brain rot on this country. The algorithms get that lizard brain receptor of rage.

If my own mother can't trust what I say (and I've predicted this almost perfectly since 2016), what hope do we have?
