I’ve never felt the need to shift my opinions to please the crowd on lemmy. I mean if someone is really deep in certain communities that could happen, but that’s the loser part. Online chat groups shouldn’t become a focus of your identity.
Lemmy isn’t in the same realm as Groypers or neo-nazi cliques or any of that nonsense. Really?
They’re just losers who live online trying to outdo each other to hold the most extreme view points possible so they can stand out in their depressing little discord shitholes. It’s such a depressing reality I can’t even imagine it. No wonder they become mass shooters.
No scapegoat for you. Maybe try facing your moral and policy failures this time? No? Ok, keep praying to god. Maybe next time he’ll help you out with a black trans muslim shooter instead of yet another young white conservative dude.
Maybe I just don’t pay enough attention to right wing online culture (it’s too exhausting) but why are they acting like this guy was the second coming of Saint Ronald Reagan? Like was he that important to them? Would they have the same reaction if it was Shapiro or Crowder? Are they just outraged that one of their own caught a bullet?
Wasn’t he a Mormon? Didn’t he already find Jesus Christ? It didn’t seem to make a difference at all…
Now that it turns out the shooter is another maladjusted young white dude I think they might let this one fade away faster than anticipated. They desperately wanted them to be brown\gay\trans\muslim\ other but they have no narrative to push now that it’s one of their own. They’ll try to go with the “antifa” narrative, but then they have to admit that Kirk was indeed a fascist.
Cancel Culture for thee, but not for me. Same old story with these hypocritical morons.
Careful Guardian, quoting his actual words and reminding people what a piece of garbage he was is going to get you attacked by the American Taliban.
He also hasn’t lost a debate in that timeframe. New personal best.
“We must stop zoo animals from attacking people” insists man who set all the zoo animals free and gave them each a bag of cocaine.
They could be allowed to go back to the U.S. for work later if necessary, the officials said.
Yeah, that’s totally reasonable. I’d totally come back to get raided by racist goons a second time. What planet do these fucking idiots come from? I’d pull all investments from America if I was a from a not insane foreign nation.
He was a glorified internet troll who just happened to have the backing of some very wealthy right wing fuckheads. He wasn’t a politician. He was never elected by anyone to anything. He was a paid propagandist, and not even a smart one. The right wingers are about to ghoulishly try to profit off his death for the foreseeable future like this though.
Where are they going to find a dumb as fuck community college dropout who hates black people to replace him on his shitty malecentric christofascist podcast? He was a needle in a haystack.
This guy is cringe master supreme. He’s trying to role play as a hardened bad ass but he’s softer than a dairy queen on a hot summer day.
I try to have empathy for every human being, in every possible circumstance, but it’s hard to care sometimes… but especially when you tell me not to care, and that caring is weak. Today I will be strong, like he would have wanted.
I wonder if the right wing “think” tanks who fund TPUSA are going to try to find a new grifter to run the show or let it die with Kirk and start a new thing.

The main difference will be that right wingers forgot about that shooting within a week and they are never going to shut up about this one. The persecution fetish is about to reach new heights.
Oh, so you’re tired of being asked why you’re openly defending pedophiles and refusing to hold them accountable? Life is hard. These republicans have got it rough, let me tell you.
When you believe in dumbass conspiracies eventually you start to see proof of them everywhere you look. It’s the exact opposite of critical thinking. The brain rot has won in this case.
Some of them are rich bastards who support him to make money and they actually hate him but money is money. They don’t even care.
The rest are so genuinely stupid that they can’t figure out that he just called them dumb.
