No, it does not show this yet. Because we don’t know why he was shot still.
Ah yes. The death of a tiny-faced, vile, white guy is what shows that. Not the thousands of mass shootings, or the Zionists running riot on college campuses, or ICE thugs (and pretend-ICE thugs) running rampant on the streets…it’s the extermination of vermin that did it. Sure.
One white fascist is worth more than the mass shootings of school children and bars nationwide, don’t you know? ICE could deport every vaguely brown person and it’s not as important as when it happens to the normal and good people.
Charlie Kirk’s death is the wake up moment? Not the Minnesota lawmakers who were murdered just a couple months ago? Not the martial law being declared in US cities?
Even in this thread, you’re the only one who remembered the other recent political assassinations.
Chomsky frequently talks about how the media narrative creates “worthy” victims vs. “unworthy” victims.
I think what we have in the cases you mention are examples of the “unworthy” victims.
Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, for anyone who hasn’t read it.
It’s almost like white conservative men get to be the worthy victims.
Having a school shooting every other week shows political violence has been a feature of the US for a while now.
ICE raids, violent border security, deploying the military to cities, the president declaring war on cities…
Political violence was a feature before today.
It’s only “violence” when liberals do literally anything as a response, even if it is mildly rebuking the Confederates, or telling them NO.
The convicted felon in chief gets his panties all twisted when people - particularly Black people - were protesting. I’m sure he deemed that “violence” even if most of that was spurred on by police and Confederate counter-protesters being the violent ones.
Up vote for use of Confederate
Which is why I think we’re at the tipping point. I think Dems and leftists have realized we’re going to get blamed no matter what, so if we’re going to get blamed then at least do something to get blamed for. And start making them afraid
It’s only “political violence” when it’s right wing figures that get hurt
Oh, and I guess political violence was not a feature of US life when the sitting president called for an insurrection and planned a coup in parallel?
Hear fucking hear.
It’s been a feature for a bit now, only it’s been officially sanctioned by the regime. This is just the people starting to fight back.
How do they know it was political? Maybe the shooter hated him for personal reasons.
The chances of this are astronomically high.
He wasn’t a kind, generous, or pleasent man.
If your political ideology is based around advocating for harm to other groups of people, violence targeted at you shouldn’t be surprising. FAFO.
Rules for thee, not for me. Or something.
“Now”? Someone hasn’t been paying attention. Violence has been a part of US politics since, well, US politics.
Violence is a defining feature of US politics.
Roughly 10% of all US presidents have been assassinated: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and JFK. That’s 4 out of 47. In most other countries it has either happened once or not at all.
All you can really say is that there was a relative lull of political violence between say 2005 and 2015. But, even that period would be seen as massive political violence in most other advanced countries in the world.
I PRAY to GOD this isn’t True! I PRAY to God that we go back to ONLY MURDERING CHILDREN IN SCHOOL!
I appreciate your steadfast dedication to the bit. Solid work.
Oh they got some of them today too, don’t you worry.
I also appreciate your work, carry on.
If this is the only option left…
To the guillotine!
He is responsible for a lot of it with his constant lies and propaganda. No more from him.
Maybe this will encourage the others to stop being Nazis and start to open their eyes to reality.

One additional benefit of the suspect still being at large is that the rest of Trump’s posse are going to be afraid to show their faces in public for a while.
It might actually. U.S. Nazis tend to be chicken shit.
I assume the national guard will be rolling into Salt Lake City any minute now.
There was some bit from the FBI about how they are going to send immediate help or something, but I assume they meant trying to track down the shooter.
Dumb dumb donnie probably thinks it’d be a real “help” to send in the National Guard to stand around, look bored, assist ICE in kidnapping people that don’t pass the paper bag test, and do other useless shit in the pursuit of performative “crime fighting” measures.
Fkn lol!
He wasn’t even a politician. Besides for all we know this was just a simple hunting accident
Dick Cheney has entered the chat…
