Charlie Kirk worked for the billionaire class, and got paid to convince people to accept their agenda. The entire thing was always a grift.
Meh, the whole GOP is a fossel fuel industry plant. Their money is everywhere.
See the TV series, Landman. I like the acting and script, but they preach falsehoods about sustainable energy every episode.
I kind of thought Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm had more spine.
Hm, you forgot to mention all 8 billion people on the planet right now are a fossil fuel industry plant. No fossil fuels, no 8 billion people.
Omg it’s the guy from the meme
Hm, it’s not “participate”, it’s “makes”. No fossil fuels, no 8 billion people. What’s so hard to understand? You argue like Charlie Kirk. “I put meme, I is smart”. Come on.
You’re confusing me with someone who respects your opinion
The fact that the population exploded with massive MASSIVE fossil fuel inputs is not an opinion. And your respect, I couldn’t care less about.
LilDummy
And soon he’ll be actual fossil fuel. Fitting.
Soon’ish.
Bullshit. He wasn’t a plant, he was a paid shill. Without his rizz and his ability to create a platform out of their astroturf garbage, they would have been leaning on Crowder.
don’t mischaracterize him, his reputation has been through enough and its disrespectful
you don’t have to spit on men who died with libel on their lips
He wasn’t a plant, he was a paid shill.
Those are the same thing.
Just hoping you are good faith here.
No they aren’t. Charlie Kirk was a really important fascist platform creator, he wasn’t a plant, he created the platform and then sold it. It is important to understand the enemy.
He was either being funded since the beginning or started being funded when he became popular. The difference is immaterial.
The right-wing activist murdered last week
lol. He wasn’t murdered
He died in a school shooting?
I mean, that is technically accurate Even though it is not exactly what I was thinking
He had the fifth amendment made permanent for himself?
You mean the second?
Are you perhaps saying assassinated is more correct? That’s just a specific genre of murking. Please elaborate your thought.
He was not assassinated. Please don’t artificially elevate his status. He was killed, and likely was murdered. But he held no position of authority that would warrant him being assassinated.
He was a piece of shit but you’re vastly understating his position as a political influencer. He wasn’t just a YouTuber or a podcaster. I highly recommend the latest episode of the TrueAnon podcast if you’d like to know the extent of the shit he did when he was alive. While he didn’t hold office, he was hugely influential for America’s right-wing party’s rise to power among younger folk, the most important demographic to get hooked on right-wing garbage.
You can only murder or assassinate human beings
Dehumanization is for fascists.
Edited due to the ambiguity of the English language. Dehumanization is what fascists do. If you want to be more like fascists, don’t let me hold you back. If you think you can only fight evil if it isn’t human, then acknowledge your weakness and do something about it.

Dehumanizing people is a trait of fascism. It makes it easy to commit all kinds of atrocities because they aren’t really people. Why would you want that for yourself or others?
Nope. I only want it for fascists. Pretty easy. What doesn’t work is passive nonsense. Calling for nice talk to bad people is just allowing bad people to keep being bad people. The bad people caught on that they can just do whatever they want because people like you don’t do or say anything meaningful.
Being too soft on fascism is how we got here. If you don’t casually support fascism, you’ll wake up.
I agree that fascists are bad people, and I agree that fascists won’t go away by ignoring them or presuming their good intent.
But dehumanizing the people you decided are “bad” is literally the attitude that enables fascism. Not only does it set a low bar for what’s required to dehumanize someone, but it weakens the kind of self-reflection that helps people avoid falling into fascism. Think about all those MAGA folk who say they only wanted to deport the “bad” immigrants. How’s that working out?
People we feel are “bad” should be treated like human beings. Because what’s deemed bad depends on who’s doing the finger-pointing, and dehumanizing others isn’t a great way to bring the information that there’s something bad happening to those who don’t already agree with you.
Being soft and not dehumanizing are two different things. The fact you can’t tell the difference doesn’t change that. I’m willing to do hard things to dangerous people. I don’t need to trick myself that they aren’t people in order to do that.
correct. fascists don’t deserve the title of human.
He was human. A shitty human.
What?
He was just simply sent to a more appropriate place
Always nice to see a fellow Grok user.
