Today has exposed a lot of latent biases. When Democratic politicians get assassinated in their homes by Alex Jones fans, it's practically forgotten the day it's reported. When a stochastic terrorist podcaster is killed by ??who??, it's a declaration of war against America by "the radical left".
He also regularly called for violence.
The USA is cursed. It’s as if it was built on the site of an Indian burial ground.
they heard Rudy Giuliani was gonna stop by and just did that to get out of it
Live by the sword, etc
Only individually, when they're together in large numbers they become mindless malice machines, destroying anything and anyone they can, truly embodying the symbol of the fasces
Unfortunately fascists are also too stupid to know they can't actually do the evil things they want, and when they realize their initial plans are failing, they panic and get even more brutal and basic. It's why Nazis ended up at "the final solution", it's why Putin's "3 day operation" is in year 3
They think that about literally every woman and girl they see. It's a dangerous, potentially murderous psychosis.
they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter
@moderation.bsky.app hey just checking with you guys, but does "soon we will rounding you up and throwing you in a concentration camp. Your time is over." count as encouraging/threatening violence?
Charlie Kirk's career was full of constant calls to violence. Last year, he encouraged his fans to go out and start street fights with trans women because he was upset about the female Algerian Olympic boxer that his fans thought was trans.
Increasingly feeling like it's time to get the hell out of America even if you arrive on the other side broke and alone, at least you won't have the increasingly legitimate fear of federal thugs kidnapping you and sending you to a labor camp for not adequately respecting Charlie Kirk.
Kirk's entire schtick was advocating for violence, especially targeting trans people and non-white non-conservatives. The guy bussed the Jan 6thers to the capitol ffs. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Every online comment sympathetic to Kirk that I've seen INSISTS that he was killed because he "had an opinion" We have no idea why he was shot, we have no idea who the shooter even is, none of these people care about that though, only the sanctioned violence they've been fantasizing about for years
Charlie Kirk fans are rabidly threatening/promising violence against basically anyone who isn't treating him like a martyr saint and I have a weird feeling that all of their accounts will still be in good standing tomorrow.
so i can just report people who tell me to "enjoy the camps" and you'll ban them?
It's increasingly dangerous to call someone like Kirk a Nazi these days, what with the free speech warriors in power.
He basically just said Charlie Kirk was very divisive and spread a lot of hate and when people do that it's not unusual for their hate to backfire on them
Just like when they pretend to love the 2nd amendment, if a well regulated armed militia of non-white leftists starts making a fuss, they immediately institute gun control.
Changing the community guidelines on the spot. Replies disabled. Quotes disabled. Shameless.
They don't care about the shooter, many would prefer they are never found so they can continue to tell their followers it was a trans person or a "far left radical" or whoever they want to justify targeting with violence. They have never cared about or wanted justice, just more violence.
Kash Patel is going to bring back witch trials
I lost it years ago, basically as soon as he entered office and immediately began going out of his way to rehabilitate George W Bush's image (especially Michelle with their candy exchanges whenever they were in front of cameras), refusing to pursue any consequences for Bush's treasonous presidency.
Remember how the Democratic party showed us they can actually fight hard and play dirty, but only if their opponent is Bernie Sanders?
Did they also do this for the Minnesota Democratic reps who were assassinated along with their spouses and pets in their homes a few weeks ago?
it's so on brand i can't even
Important to remember he started his grifting career after West Point rejected him and he convinced himself that a hypothetical undeserving black person "took" "his spot" and that's why he was rejected and never went to college and instead started telling people college was a "scam".
Activist for what?
Cursed bar
Also, somehow the topic of the Tatmadaw committing genocide against every ethnic minority in Burma came up and another one of the free speech warriors had to chime in with, "yeah but they never tell you what those minorities did first!" So I asked him, "so what did they do?" And he just shrugged.
And I know they are pedos because the bartender straight up asked the guy ranting about "antifa" and "free speech" if he was a pedo and instead of just saying "no" he sat in silence for 5 seconds and said, "why, are you?"
I visited rural northern Thailand in 2019 for a film scout and the only bar/restaurant with electricity for 30 miles was full of white western right wing weirdos/pedos, and they kept saying they moved to Thailand for "free speech", meanwhile you get sent to jail in Thailand for insulting their king.
God I wish I lived in a country with freedom of speech
Important to note that MSNBC is not actually left in any meaningful way aside from opposing Republicans.
You didn't
as always i encourage u all not to post things that may attract the attention of an authoritarian secret police with unlimited power to surveil american citizens at this time
All corporate media is bending the knee to Trump
It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses
Keep in mind this is the same network that brought on a "body language expert" to call Bernie Sanders a misogynist in 2020.
They are going to round up everyone who calls Trump a Nazi. You can tell Code Pink calling him America's Hitler at dinner really got to him.
This is the kind of person who is running the show on Elon Musk's Twitter. Yes, everyone should leave. But more than that: these voices are reaching tens of millions of people every day. They are causing a massive surge in open support for the mass murder and persecution of all social minorities.
Epstein's birthday book included a letter from someone saying they were proud to "handle" a deal where Epstein "sold" a "fully depreciated girl" to Donald Trump for $22,500.
Oh so you support what Kirk said here then?
fyi terminally online dipshits are already doing this along with droves of doxing right now: www.charliesmurderers.com so proceed with a bit of caution if your name can be found with a quick google search
Theyre going to at least imply it was a trans person, Fox News already reported his death by saying he was "answering a question about trans mass shootings" right when it happened Trump already wants to blame trans people, Charlie blamed trans people, they need people to think the shooter was trans
Just last month the FBI forced out its top agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani American woman whom a former FBI agent describes as a “legendary case agent who was involved in some of the most significant national security cases of the last two decades.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...
Honestly that is extremely on brand for Obama
Damn it's almost like the American right wing is full of domestic terrorists or something.
Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights
It's what he would have wanted
They basically already have. Trump is Putin's bitch and Putin is Xi's bitch. Everything Trump has done has immensely benefited China's long-view interests, China is now seen as the rational adult superpower in the room while the USA is an international pariah state that nobody wants to trade with.
I think the model is more like Ernst vom Rath He will be used as the excuse to do all the stuff the regime already wanted to do but needed a thin excuse to do it.
Krassensteins on notice
That's so interesting, anyway here is Charlie Kirk saying people should seek out trans women and beat them up.
Or as Fox News reported it, "He was answering a question about trans mass shootings when he was shot"
you don’t have to have a take on everything but i will say for the record that gavin newsom’s “continue his work” post is one of the more disgusting things i have ever seen considering that the dead man in question wanted at least ~2.8 million americans eradicated & believed empathy was a sin.
Interesting use of the word "throbbing" there, he definitely knows his audience.
Gavin Newsom is just a different flavor of Trump, one that is slightly more politically connected and predictable in the way billionaires like.
#NeverNewsom ever.
I mean, it entirely depends on whether or not Trump allows us to have free elections again. And even if he did, Gavin would only squeak by like Joe Biden did, purely because people are desperate to get rid of Trump.
bury yourself with him like an egyptian slave
Ffs do not nominate this man for anything ever again
Could he give a single example of this "rhetoric of the radical left"? Or is he still mad that Code Pink called him America's Hitler at dinner?
Rare Elizabeth Warren W
Every Charlie Kirk fan I've interacted with today has immediately threatened me with violence for saying Charlie Kirk promoted violence.
A man unknowingly dedicated his life to foreshadowing
As someone who first found out about this whole thing from seeing the close up video on social media, I second your decision to not watch it. No reason to have those images embedded in your brain.
He's googling "charlie kirk shooter theories reddit"
He planted trees the shade of which he only briefly sat in
Or what? They'll send another sternly worded letter?
Famously, Martin Luther King said "empathy is a made up new age word that has done a lot of damage to this country" Oh sorry, that was Charlie Kirk.
We get it, you loved stochastic terrorist and noted traitor Charlie Kirk.
He's the Daniel-Day Lewis/Jared Leto of Batman villains.
Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota
the rightwing loves to be like “this is the moment we become the nazi party”
Every liberal today: "Political violence has no place in this country, what happened to Charlie Kirk is horrible and must never happen to anyone else!" Every conservative today: "THE MARTYR OF KIRK WILL BE REPAID WITH A THOUSAND SEVERED HEADS AND RIVERS OF BLOOD!!"
Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk: "It's worth it to have gun deaths every year so that we can have the second amendment"
He died doing what he loved: promoting the use of guns in schools
Imagine scolding people laughing at the 'it's good to die from gun violence because it gives us unfettered access to guns' guy getting got by a gun under a sign that says prove me wrong like I'm sorry grow up
Jesse Watters doing his best impression of Joseph Goebbels on the eve of Kristallnacht
The thing is you could say all of the right wing violence inflicted by the state doesn't count—you shouldn't, but you could—and the right would still come out orders of magnitude ahead on violence and domestic terrorism committed.
there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.
need another set from this guy
His neck buckled under the immense weight of his head
Kind of amazing they missed his head
i understand that our attention is divided as a nation but i do need everyone to know that henry winkler is on a fishing trip
This explains it better than I can
Wow let's see if Netanyahu responds to private disappointed phone calls!
Prophecies come true all the time
They attacked the boat again last night btw, two nights in a row.
Apparently you don’t feel the same way when non-fascists are assassinated
rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of
I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?
