Yeah I get it. But every time I see something like this I think of all the guys pointing at this and saying “LOOK ANOTHER LIE FROM THE LEFT” and I hate them being right about anything ever.
I don't really give a shit, they're going to call us liars anyways. I shouldn't have to uphold some crazy journalistic integrity as a regular person shitposting about assholes. Fuck em, I say lie as much as we can. Smear the shit right on their faces.
My issue is that there is absolutely more than enough truth to smear them on. Why lie when we don’t have to? Why shoot ourselves in the foot like this?
Even broadly, at the far side, roughly speaking, without even dividing up across other criteria or gradations of economic "leftness", nor other quirks of specificity...
anarcho left. -10,-10 to -0.01,-10
libertarian left, e.g -10,-5 to -0.01,-5
moderate left, e.g. -10,0 to -0.01,0
tanky left. e.g -10,6 to -0.01,6
totalitarian left. e.g. -10,10 to -0.01,10
fake left. e.g around 5,5
One of these is not like the others.
... Well... the others are not like the others either...
But that does not matter to those who only speak of the fake left, as if it's not not left, as if it's the only left, calling it "the left".
No you're thinking of Captain Kirk. Charlie Kirk was an NFL quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. He played college football for Michigan State and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in 2012.
Nah, they are thinking of Kirk Cameron the leader of the free Christian world who also has a side job as a barista at Einstein Bros throwing coffee and bagels...
I was thinking Charlie meant church, and kirk meant church,
So,
Church Church.
But I looked it up...
French and English form of Carolus, the Latin form of the Germanic name Karl, which was derived from a word meaning "man" (Proto-Germanic *karlaz). However, an alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic name element *harjaz meaning "army".
Conservative martyrs never work out because they're so sociopathic and narcissistic as a group, that nobody really cares that much about anyone else, beyond the political benefit of the initial outrage. A martyr's power is in inspiring people in the future, but conservatives don't care enough about anyone to bother to keep their memory alive.
Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.
I've always assumed that posts that began with "as a black man" were posted by a non-black person. Trying too hard, and invading their own Internet privacy at the same time.
Im choosing to believe there was at least one person who took this at face value, as admission that charley Kirk was a 'white passing' black man, and was racist enough to decide he was never going to listen to another word CK said because of his race.
