They want to be able to arrest their political opponents for saying mean things about them, but if California or NY used the same standard and arrested people in their states for actual hate speech the right wing outrage machine would go into an instant meltdown.
He was an attack dog, like almost all right wing internet pundits. This is what he was paid by the billionaires to do. If his taskmasters told him the new orders were to attack Zelenskyy, then by god that was what he did. I seriously doubt he ever had an original thought. Well, his racism was extra extra, I think that part he did for free.
Some of them are rich bastards who support him to make money and they actually hate him but money is money. They don’t even care.
The rest are so genuinely stupid that they can’t figure out that he just called them dumb.
I’ve never felt the need to shift my opinions to please the crowd on lemmy. I mean if someone is really deep in certain communities that could happen, but that’s the loser part. Online chat groups shouldn’t become a focus of your identity.
Lemmy isn’t in the same realm as Groypers or neo-nazi cliques or any of that nonsense. Really?
They’re just losers who live online trying to outdo each other to hold the most extreme view points possible so they can stand out in their depressing little discord shitholes. It’s such a depressing reality I can’t even imagine it. No wonder they become mass shooters.
No scapegoat for you. Maybe try facing your moral and policy failures this time? No? Ok, keep praying to god. Maybe next time he’ll help you out with a black trans muslim shooter instead of yet another young white conservative dude.
Maybe I just don’t pay enough attention to right wing online culture (it’s too exhausting) but why are they acting like this guy was the second coming of Saint Ronald Reagan? Like was he that important to them? Would they have the same reaction if it was Shapiro or Crowder? Are they just outraged that one of their own caught a bullet?
Wasn’t he a Mormon? Didn’t he already find Jesus Christ? It didn’t seem to make a difference at all…
Now that it turns out the shooter is another maladjusted young white dude I think they might let this one fade away faster than anticipated. They desperately wanted them to be brown\gay\trans\muslim\ other but they have no narrative to push now that it’s one of their own. They’ll try to go with the “antifa” narrative, but then they have to admit that Kirk was indeed a fascist.
Cancel Culture for thee, but not for me. Same old story with these hypocritical morons.
Careful Guardian, quoting his actual words and reminding people what a piece of garbage he was is going to get you attacked by the American Taliban.
Kirk organised but did not attend the so-called “Stop the Steal” protests after Trump lost the 2020 election and helped coordinate buses for the 6 January 2021 rally led by Trump near the White House, where the outgoing Republican president urged the crowd to “fight, fight, fight” to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden.
Putting a monument for this turd in the capital he tried to overthrow is just perfectly republican. These people are going to milk this guys death for the next dozen years at least.
He also hasn’t lost a debate in that timeframe. New personal best.
“We must stop zoo animals from attacking people” insists man who set all the zoo animals free and gave them each a bag of cocaine.
They could be allowed to go back to the U.S. for work later if necessary, the officials said.
Yeah, that’s totally reasonable. I’d totally come back to get raided by racist goons a second time. What planet do these fucking idiots come from? I’d pull all investments from America if I was a from a not insane foreign nation.
He was a glorified internet troll who just happened to have the backing of some very wealthy right wing fuckheads. He wasn’t a politician. He was never elected by anyone to anything. He was a paid propagandist, and not even a smart one. The right wingers are about to ghoulishly try to profit off his death for the foreseeable future like this though.
Where are they going to find a dumb as fuck community college dropout who hates black people to replace him on his shitty malecentric christofascist podcast? He was a needle in a haystack.
This guy is cringe master supreme. He’s trying to role play as a hardened bad ass but he’s softer than a dairy queen on a hot summer day.
I try to have empathy for every human being, in every possible circumstance, but it’s hard to care sometimes… but especially when you tell me not to care, and that caring is weak. Today I will be strong, like he would have wanted.
This is going to make the conspiracy nuts latch on even harder. You just Streisanded yourself, dumbass.
ps: The American right wing hates Jews almost as much as they hate Muslims.
