    We hanged people like Charlie Kirk at Nuremberg. He didn’t deserve to be assassinated, but Kirk did deserve a life sentence in prison for crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide.

    Their entire party is now built on hate. These people will sacrifice anything to support their hate. They are literally using hateful actions to support the memory of a hateful person. It’s just hate all the way down.

            My mom and step dad are raging alcoholics. The further they fell into alcoholism, the more their love for Trump grew.

            They pop open their first Modelo (irony is dead) around 9am, at the latest.

            He definitely radicalized her over the years (been married on and off for 18 years), and has started physical fights with me since I was a kid. She never really defended me, and put him over me when they got married. She is a librarian, and used to be a 7th grade English teacher. I hate that she’s influencing children every day.

            They can rot in Alabama.

    You know, there was a couple of authoritarians that used tattling to suppress dissent.

    The USSR and Nazi Fucking Germany. And CCP.

    That’s where we are now. We’re ruled by children.

    This is what happens when children gain power.

      The more advanced nations just debank you instead or arrest you for tweets. Tattling implies waiting for someone else before leaping into action. Come on now.

    Someone should stand up another site to catalog all the hateful things their own kind are saying about everyone else.

      I’m sorry, but, are you implying that they care if the reports are false or not? The fascist don’t even care if they hurt their own followers.

      This information isn’t going to be used for anything on a large scale. They literally have control of all social media through their loyal oligarchs. This is nothing more than for uniting their followers in hate against anyone that might even slightly speak out against them. This is for the people doing the reporting. Not for the people actually being reported.

      It’s a way to manufacture concent for the state suppression on speech and the state violence. Something that these fascist were handed the moment the blood started shooting out of kirks neck. The people they want to target were already on their list long before then though.

      the thing is, joking about his ironic death is the most fair game thing there is, as it has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you liked or disliked him, or agreed or disagreed with his messages

        There’s nothing ironic about it. He provided solid evidence in support of his point.

        What bothers me most is that the left is getting both the blame for doing it, and criticism for doing nothing.

        For the time being we certainly at least still seem to be allowed, legally, to joke about it. That said…

        Worried about Stewart & Colbert & those kinds of folks. Imagine 0.00[…]1% of the deranged out there would be incensed by humor about “their” guy so I personally might not find the average joke at Kirk’s expense to be worth it. (Logic: political commentator on right is killed, those on left make jokes, guy on right gets super upset and kills a late night host on the left in part b/c a straw broke the camel’s back)

        On the side of those were alive I like speaking truth to power. For those who are no longer alive I like remembering their character (e.g. “purported free-speech proponent, marred by alleged issues of intellectual honesty, …” or something).

        btw

        btw hopefully I personally living in a way simply “remembering my character” isn’t offensive/shocking

        fair game

        In a rational world, absolutely.

        But you’ve gotta play the game when Team Nazi wants to get you fired.

      I would rather joke on the irony and not support his message.

      I get where you are going, but even ironical support for those people cause is prone to backfire.

    So the plan is to identify people who find joy in the appropriate treatment of a fascist and then get them fired from their jobs. Some will take it on the chin and move on, sure, but others might find a bunch of new free time in their schedules plus a fresh axe to grind and decide they have nothing left to lose. Couldn’t possibly backfire.

    We should join in and say in honor of Kirk’s memory, his wishes should be followed - to release the Epstein files.
