I said it in one of the threads: We've got boiling pots calling steaming kettles black. Meanwhile, our feudal techlords and billionaires are laughing as they divide us citizens into subjects and serfs. That's the plan.

Yup

Kirk sucks, at least in his public life. But lots of people suck. And if he was shot for some personal matter that would be something else. But this is political violence and once that genie is out of the bottle, it is hard to get it put back in. This is a very bad thing.

Its been out of the bottle for a while now. Moose in MN shoulda told you. Or Nancy Pelosi's husband, or any number of other recent political attacks. To Bolverk's comments above, the social media lords will laugh all the way to the bank, but you wont be able to hear them above the din of cash registers while the country rages on their platforms.

Where did the Kirk thread go?

And like that, it was gone.  Underground.  Nobody has ever seen it since.  It becomes a myth, a spook story (no racist) that Longhorns tell their kids.

Normally a President communicating, something like this, means it's true.  Not sure I believe it yet.

It's Trump thus it's all about attention and clicks, so yeah...

Single shot from 200 yards.

Josh Marshall: Appears person filmed being arrested is not a suspect and suspect is not in custody. CNN reports that University now says single shot came from a building 200 yards away. Certainly suggests an experienced marksman.

What a weird person to target if you're someone with the skills to shoot just about anyone (not many people you can't get within 200 yards of). Sure, Kirk is reviled, but he's out of sight, out of mind for 75+% of Americans. 

Wouldn't surprise me if escalation is the primary goal. Podcasters run the right wing ecosystem, and nothing will get them riled up and pumping out more hate like shooting one of their own.

Charlie Kirk, a close ally of President Trump and the founder of the nation’s pre-eminent right-wing youth activist organization, was fatally shot on Wednesday while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University, his spokesman Andrew Kolvet said.

“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social, adding, “He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us.”

Goddammit I hate Charlie Kirk. He was a massive piece of shit. 
 

But im NEVER for killing of someone. Like others said, he has a family and this will only bring more pain and violence in the end. This thing is awful for lots of reasons

Yea, I don't see this going particularly well for any of us. If Trump sent the National Guard to DC because Big Balls got a bloody nose, what's his response to this going to be? Not to mention the crazies, and the retaliation to the retaliation, and so on. 

As others mentioned on the Kirk thread, Trump didn't get seriously injured and the Minnesota pols were not well known prior to their assassinations. Kirk clearly has a huge following of young men who feel disadvantaged in a culture obsessed with guns. I can really see this event cranking things up to 11.

Dude, this genie has been out of the bottle. Have you already forgotten the June shooting of Minnesota representative Melissa Hortman and her husband?

People like Charlie Kirk have used their online presence to incite hatred and increase the likelihood of these things happening.

this is 100% what’s going to happen. this will be a rallying cry for the right, and they will paint the left as a violent, dangerous, criminal organization. hell, i would be 0% surprised if trump ordered the hit himself just so that he can justify future violence against the “organized crime group” that is the democratic party.

i have zero condolences, thoughts, or prayers. gun violence is deplorable, but this man spent his adult life fomenting hatred and violence, and he is absolutely (at least partially) responsible for his own assassination. 

i opened up twitter as soon as i heard the news and i saw nothing but high profile left wing politicians and personalities condemning this assassination, and all thoughtless gun and political violence. funny, i’ve never seen the right wing folks react that way any of the dozens of notable times when political violence has been inflicted on the left.

today they will cry foul and will wholly condemn anyone who celebrates this killing, as if they and theirs haven’t been reacting with glee whenever left wing figures are attacked with hammers or shot down in their own homes. that’s why they will get zero sympathy, zero condolences, and zero sadness from me. these people have been fomenting this violent climate for years, and celebrating when it was the other side getting killed. i would never feel sorry for a member of hitler’s gestapo being shot and killed, and i am not sorry, or sad, or offering my condolences for a member of trump’s propaganda machine paying the ultimate price for his own actions.

Well said. Agreed.  Though wish your grammar was better. Good punctuation and grammar never go out of style.

from Reddit user canada432:
I routinely make this point. We as a society decided it was better to protect stupid people from themselves, because it also protects us from them. But that's gone on so long that like you said, they have no concept of risk or consequences. They don't have a scale of how bad things can be.
And in politics, conservatives have been completely insulated from their own policies. GOP politicians could campaign on the worst shit possible, because they knew they were protected from it ever passing. They could campaign on repealing RvW, because they knew it'd get blocked. They could campaign on destroying the Department of Education, because they knew the president would always veto it. They could campaign on making gay marriage illegal again, because they knew the courts would protect them from having to do it. They can campaign on repealing all taxes, because they know the democrats will block it. They were always playing the system so they could simultaneously campaign to uneducated bigots, while knowing they'd never have to actually follow through with those promises that they KNOW would be devastating.
But that's all gone. They have control of everything and Trump is so uninformed and narcissistic that he'll actually do all those things. They can't count on the president or SCOTUS to protect them from having to fill their promises, and they can't count on the democrats to have enough power legislatively to stop them. Suddenly, they're the dog that caught the car. They now have to put their money where their mouth is, implement those policies, and deal with the consequences of fucking over their voters.

that is a pretty solid take

If they had segregation, every time black people started to succeed, we would have the new Klan and bombings. They would take over land for new highways (“racist highways”) and make sure they never were successful. And then complain that they need to be eliminated. This always starts with separation. 

I wish their football team would read that.
