"I'm so disgusted by political violence than I'm going to visit it upon everyone who celebrates it!"

We're clearly dealing with Nobel Prize winners here. /s

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 53 pts · 355d (4 replies)

These are the same Einsteins that voted for Taco just so he could be their "retribution" - meaning, visit political violence on everyone they don't like.

But yeah, they abhor political violence. 🙄

"No, not like that! It was only supposed to happen to brown people!"

(And the gays, transsexuals, liberals, artists and other degenerate dissidents like that)

Might as well add "people not far right enough" because that's who's getting targeted.

What they abhor is their chickens coming home to roost.

But celebrating political violence is what Charlie Kirk would've wanted.

xxce2AAb@feddit.dk · 3 pts · 355d

Sure, but I don't see why I should give him what he wants -- I take pride in being nothing like him.

inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 354d

At the every least he would have wanted is to have shown him and. His family he left behind zero empathy because empathy is a made up term.

Musks shorthand version of this comic is especially telling.

“Let us torture you in peace or we’ll do it even harder.”

samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 355d

Musk is correct, but they're not the ones not being left in peace.

Hey, be careful now.

Every person in that pic would be more than happy to take a bunch of guns...

and give them to some sub-70 IQ inbred redneck with Christian psychosis to go fight their battles for them while they live in extreme luxury.

Charlie would be proud to shift the focus away from Trumps pedophilia.

Right wing "activists"

Don't you mean "terrorists?"

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 355d (5 replies)

The Confederates: people that cry about so-called "cancel culture" and say they are "free speech absolutists" now are sending death threats to people that allegedly celebrated this.

Oh, and people have already lost their jobs over their reactions to Kirk...

I don't think anyone is the least bit surprised. But it should still be pointed out, not accepted as them being normal. Yes, it's normal for them, and of course they have zero shame about it. But it's not normal for most human beings.

"Allegedly"...

I haven't stopped celebrating for two days.

It wasn't RIGHT for him to be killed like that, but I believed the world would be better without him a week ago, and that opinion hasn't changed now that he's gone.

Where can someone learn about this? Specifically Facebook

TeenieBopper@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 354d

Pretty sure the answer here is "don't use Facebook."

Feral maga is turning on itself and it’s pedo king. Soon they won’t have time to worry about us laughing because they’ll be busy trying not to get shot by their own guys

So I'm looking up "Tyler Robinson" and Etsy has only MAGA. Nothing like the St Luigi which is what I want.

Normally I would use Grok to do a face swap but somehow I think that would get me a personal visit with Tulsi Gabbard that I do not want.

So I'm searching around and I find this: Replicas of Charlie Kirk shooting suspect Tyler Robinson's T-shirt On Sale

This shirt appears to have come from the Disabled Veterans National Foundation (DVNF), the Guardian reported.
One shirt on needshirt, for sale at $17.49, is described as a "funny political T-shirt."
One listing on Etsy showed a shirt with the description "Land of the Free Home of the Brave Shirt Bald Eagle USA Flag Tee Patriotic American T-shirt Charlie Kirk Shooters Shirt, Kirk Shooter Shirt."

Can anybody find a link to someone selling Tyler Robinson swag? Or get ballsy and sell some yourself?

EDIT: Found some on Ebay , they are selling like hotcakes

The dude looks to be a groyper who shot the founder of TPUSA. So, basically a Marklar "maga" that shot another Marklar "maga".

I would think that the target demo for any associated gear would be very, very slim?

nymnympseudonym@piefed.social · 1 pts · 355d

I think this is a Winnie-the-Pooh-in-China situation.

Plenty of people are willing to honestly or sarcastically put aside their feelings about groypers and MAGA, and show their support for one who is in their eyes Redeemed.

But doing so is literally like begging for the Party to come visit you. So you have to do something just oblique enough. Like carrying an umbrella "in case it rains"

So, does laughing at the Kool Aid Fountain his neck turned into count? How about creating a playlist called In Memory of Charlie Kirk that starts with Hey Man, Nice Shot, and Bye Bye Bye?

Fucking cowards

The amount of the population I fear in a fist fight is well less than 1%. These pussies bring guns tho.

Exactly

Snowclone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 354d (1 reply)

There is a really funny video of a proud boy showing up at someone's house to threaten them, but he's very timid and the guy just rips into him and he nopes off. But in reality, a coward with a gun an your address can be a real problem, not that I personally doubt your confidence, I'm also not scared of people knowing where I live, it takes two hours from the middle of nowhere to get to where I live, and it's one of the most hostile ecological areas on the planet, so. Come at me bro!

GladiusB@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 354d

Same. I'm not the tallest but I have been told I'm intimidating several times. I have boxed and I have been in actual fights. I would not call myself a Mike Tyson by any stretch of the imagination. But it's a very small percentage of the population that actually pipes up when I tell people to shut the fuck up. Which I have.

People that say this don't really understand that we are being sarcastic. They are such little bitches they will do some dumb shit like put cat shit on my porch.

hOrni@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 355d (1 reply)

Not sad, but that doesn't mean I'm celebrating.

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 355d

Same, honestly. I live in the vicinity of the Colorado shooting that happened, and....I'm just exhausted with shootings. I'm sure most Americans have hit that point, and over and over. And yet they persist. They have to.

But this week has really been...a lot. Emergency vehicle sirens going for what felt like nonstop while listening to scanner feed and worrying about the kids and getting updates from friends and neighbors and coworkers about what they are (or are not) hearing from their kids, and seeing updates on the OTHER shooting in Utah.

It's all too much. I'm just tired. I know I'm not alone in that.

Sorry I should have said “sort by”

What “sort by” value(s) do you use?

I do top 1 hour, top 6 hours and scaled. And I haven’t seen any of these conservative subs in my all feed.

Wherever the killer (is it a done deal btw? He confessed?) falls politically, my net reaction is positive. There, I'm in the screenshot too.
