    The greatest argument against the Second Amendment is that its biggest supporters aren’t lifting a single trigger finger to stop fascism.

    Cosplayers. The whole lot of them.

      They also love to wave the American flag and screech about freedom. As long as their chosen propaganda outlet is telling them everything is fine and the brown people are getting a boot on their neck they don’t care. My only hope is when these dumb mother fuckers can no longer afford groceries or gas they might start to wake up. But then their propaganda will tell them it is somehow the democrat’s fault and throw in the word “woke” and they won’t question it.

      I dunno it looks really natural to me. At least back in the Photoshop era, shrinking a face down on an angle like that would be hard to pull off (at least for me).

    Kirk’s shooter is all but forgotten now (which took like a week btw), probably facing execution which I bet was super worth it

    Kirk himself after getting Kirk’d simply got replaced in 0.1s with other rapedwinger

    all it did was create a meme for larpers to laugh at

    adventurism sure is effective huh

      Effective at what? Pretty effective at eliminating one odious propagandist. Sure, it’s not a good alternative to revolutionary organizing, but if you’re already not going to organize… might as well get a lick.

        Effective at accomplishing anything that’s even remotely meaningful

        Like hooray, some random 0 charisma rightwing grifter got killed, as if these are in short supply due to money such positions bring. Now the mentally vulnerable shooter kid (who more likely than not got groomed into doing it online) has thrown their life away for nothing, not even for the slight joy of having their name remembered (my theory is they weren’t hot enough) but rather just being a tool that got expended and forgotten after the single spectacle, and this is the fate of every such lone wolf shooter with delusions of grandeur

        Not to mention how this is the best case outcome for adventurism, it can be easily be used as a justification to crack down on any dissent and make everyone’s lives worse - something even anarchists of old had learned

          Again, it’s not an “alternative” to anything. It’s an inevitable phenomenon, given the conditions. And the conditions are so bad that when a pig like Kirk gets ventilated on live stream, I’m gonna cheer. Be careful about worrying about what will or won’t give fascists justification for crackdowns-- they will crack down no matter what.

    Sometimes I confuse this grifter with the other one, the brother of the tradwife influencer with big breasts.

    I know they tried to make this guy into a Horst Wessel, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most people don’t even remember who this guy was five years from now.

    I couldn’t stand Charlie Kirk, he reminded me of his buddy Ben too much. I believe he was killed by Mosad for going against Isra-Hell. They used a shaped charge in his mic to kill him, not a bullet from a 30 ot six. A gun that powerful would have taken his head clean off. Three days after his assassination, they paved over the whole area where he had his “rally”.

      Charlie Kirk doesn’t deserve the dignity of a conspiracy theory. He was a shitty podcaster that spewed hateful inflammatory shit to get a reaction out of people, and he ended up getting exactly what he wanted.

      Charlie Kirk was a joke and deserves to be remembered as one.

      To be fair, his death was kinda suspicious. A rifle bullet would have done much more damage. Theres another theory floating around that he was shot behind from behind with a pistol
