    Charlie Kirk was an extremely hard working man, no doubt. It’s sad he spent his energy ambushing tired college kids with well rehearsed rhetoric instead of seeking truth.

    A very well placed .30-06 to the Carotid artery ended his personal campaign of disinformation. May he rest where he lays.

      Universities have fight songs, colors, turf, hierarchical structures. They call their grunts students. They call the leader the president. The head honchos who report to the leader are the vice presidents and deans. Members can be in their own subsections they call Greek, and many of them have historically had initiation rituals.

      In conclusion, universities are just state-sponsored, state-sanctioned gangs.

      What’s your alma mater, cuh?

      /s. Obviously.

    Is this only a year ago, with his wife humping the vice president and all?

        He was in that rare space of occasionally making antisemitic statements while also being consistently pro-Israel, so on the presumption Israel is a Jewish nation, the grounds for an assassination attempt by an Israeli radical extremist is remotely plausible.

        As a note, Israel is not a nation for Jewish people. It’s a nation for rich people who happen to be Jews. The class divide between wealthy Jews and working class Jews is historically greater than solidarity between them. (As it is with Christians, LGBT+ or most identities.)

        There’s a lot of pro-Israel antisemitism cross-sectionality, especially in Protestant Evangelism as it is ministered in the United States.

        The white Christian nationalist movement is pro-Israel specifically because they are looking forward to the second advent (the apocalypse in Revelation as a future prediction). One of the prophesied events as the end times approach is the return of the Jewish people to Israel. Hence, their pro-Israel efforts are part of an effort to hurry that process along. (Prophesies never ever worked that way, but whatever. It’s not my parade.)

        But also in that same biblical interpretation, the Jewish peoples are damned to Hellfire while Christians (as narrowly defined by the movement) are gathered unto Heaven. So for the white Christian nationalist movement, Israel is a tool to serve its own metaphysical purposes.

      It is a popular theory, one I now believe. The dissident right wing also believes it so most of the left rejects it because of that. Because that, and because already accuse of anti salmonism, they are told everyone saying that is anti salmon from the other direction, pointing to their charicature of nazi types like that groyper twatface.

      Divide and conquer. It works, because the left has no leadership.

      But the official story of his assassination is total bullshit on many levels, not the least of which, a 30.06 at that range would make a very different much larger wound. But nothing else of the story makes sense.

      You should see what the pre-trial had the prosecution showing, they have nothing.

      So many better ways to word this. Here, we hate both the state of Israel and Nazis. And you’re sounding like one of those.

      Woah now. People of Jewish faith aren’t the problem. As always, it’s a few rich monsters ruining it for everyone. I hate America, but I don’t hate all Americans.
