I think that's satire, expanding the "Charlie Kirk = Superman" equivalency to the kind of shit CK would do, but Superman didn't, showing the absurdity of the comparison.
The Roman Empire took Jesus' monotheism and turned it into something unrecognisable, some complete man-worshipping nonsense. This is just a continuation of the same Western cultural tendencies. 🤷
Lol I'm loving how this all turned into a "who can produce the absolutely most outrageous bullshit praise for Charlie Kirk" contest like the winner is gonna get to sit on daddy Trump's lap. Very heavy cult vibes, but one of those based on religion where the leader sexually molests members for favours.
Normally I wouldn't have cared about this right wing grifter. But since MAGA insists on deifying him, we should do our part in supporting Newton's third law

My favourite Superman story is when he stops Lex Luthor from giving women and people of colour humanitarian rights

MAGA machismo is so pathetic. It's like watching ten-year-olds on a schoolyard, but without any of the endearing qualities.

Wow. All this time, I thought Superman's weakness was kryptonite, but now it turns out that somebody just needed to shoot him in the neck.

Charlie Kirk would've called Superman woke because he supports LGBT rights and is an immigrant lmao (he probably already has done that)

Am I the only one who never saw TPUSA anywhere but in memes and thought it was literally a joke about Toilet Paper USA and not a real thing?

I remember seeing the Reddit sub come up a lot and just read their sidebar to find out what was going on.

Unfortunately, it is. They even wrote an "article" about it, but I'm not going to link to that trash

It's a post-truth society, it'll just keep on getting more ridiculous for anyone sane and outside of the American cultural sphere.

It's weird watching a man get diefied in real time.
kibiz0r@midwest.social · 7 pts · 345d
I think you mean deified. But he did get die-ified too, so…

Funny thing to say about a dead body

Is that true? That's crazy. They should try it with other nazis, we could learn so much.

A single instance of a MAGA neck stopping a bullet that should have penetrated is statistically irrelevant.
