The Charlie Kirk Thread

[superrific]

This is why I talk about the prisoners' dilemma and why liberals need to understand the dynamics.

The right HAS to go full authoritarian. There is nowhere else for them to go. And having committed to that, they will use the powers that authoritarianism provides.

Laura Loomer is 32 years old.

NY Post is reporting the same thing

This NY Post? Forgive me if I wait for a credible news source.

That's an insult to ZenMode. As shitty of a poster as he is, he's still clearly better than OGtruthhurts.

Laura Loomer wanting Trump to go full fascist is no more shocking than the right-wing fever swamps being convinced the shooter was a radical leftist; both parties came to the conclusion they innately wanted to reach and then cast about for any proof, real or imagined, to support that conclusion.

Loony Loomer’s ugly ass better be careful what she wishes for with the dictator thing. Throughout history most dictators end up disemboweled, strung up in the streets, hung, or otherwise deposed.

Well said. It really is so weird.

Shooter having transgender roommate/partner. That for real??

I will still feel awful for her as a widow and as the mother of two innocent young children who lost their daddy, but she's not doing herself any favors with this stuff.

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.

The news media in the US is a completely failed enterprise.

So says the ny post.

So says the ny post.

If he has a roommate who is not trans, I think the NY Post might be paying the guy some money.

I am assuming a roommate who is just going about his business would not be considered a public figure. If he is then things are broken.

Certainly a.....choice...to film and post this on her social media.

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.
