The Charlie Kirk Thread

Things grow ever darker in the right-wing alternative reality.

It’s truly bizarre. I mean you would have to look no further than the Kirk’s own words if you really wanted to. Which apparently is taboo now

The whole grift was monetizing cultural resentment and political division, some of which included explicitly violent rhetoric

Never mind the long list of deranged elected officials that you could quote tweet for days calling for and approving of violence

And then there’s Trump himself (to OP’s credit, he did mention), who is literally incapable of telling those on the right not to be violent

But some on the left having been calling conservatives fascists so I guess it all evens out

Maybe merge the 2 threads. I think one Charlie thread is enough moving forward.

Why would they?

Perfect. Now Dems are really just like Jesus, Gandhi and MLK.

In the “On the right side of history” sense, yes. Yes they are.

Room for you too. Hop on board.

it would have been interesting to include him in the In Memoriam presentation.

Hey, but by following the link to the “countless examples” of the squatting meme, I randomly learned that in Finland when you get a PhD, you get a top hat and a sword.

It’s crazy that they are so offended by anything or anybody not going out if it’s way to canonize Kirk. It’s weird. He wasn’t even all that well known outside of those circles.

 

[Bigs23]

Why would they?

They wouldn’t. Just something else to be mad about.

Zero Charlie threads would be an improvement.

 

[nycfan]

Kirk martyr and murder threads merged as the distinction between discussions was evaporating

The most eye opening thing I learned in that article is Michael Savage is still alive. When I listened to him in the aughts I was certain he was at least 70, and would stroke out live on air, at any second.

Now that they’ve had their coming out party, a (fictional ) scary movie with dark humor called Revenge of the Groypers might be perfect for our current era.

Here we go again. "These people."

This is why we need to rethink the First Amendment. He belongs in jail for saying something that vile and incendiary. Marketplace of ideas, my ass. Brandeis never had to face the fear of fascism in the US

 

[superrific]

The "we can't live with people like this" is literally lebensraum.

Hey @Ramrouser wake the fuck up man.

 

[Bobfripp]

Watters has lost his mind.

Talk about a 'mind virus.' This guy is virulent.

 

[superrific]

And "these people are incapable of turning the temperature down, so we will do it for them" is also exactly what was being said in Rwanda just before their massacre.

Watters has lost his mind.

He had a mind?
