      When Paul Pelosi was attacked, the MAGAts jeered and made up stupid lies about the attacker being his gay lover. An 80+ year old man attacked in his own home by a right wing nutter and they thought it was funny.

      Now they are crying like little babies because TinyFace got shot and sane people are pointing out that he was quite okay with people being shot to protect the second amendment.

          No. Though if it were somebody who was sexually assaulted after repeatedly praising and promoting rapists I’d probably similarly acknowledge the irony.

          This guy reaped what he showed, and despite the initial attempts but right-wing issues to make it a battle cry to blame and attack the left even more … it looks like it came from somebody even nuttier than him in camp “go go fascism”. Had it been somebody else in his circle of crazy who took the hit, I’ve little doubt that a Kirk would have been part of the “we need even more guns to fight the left” crew before they even identified the attacker.

          While I am not going to recommend bullets to heads (or necks) as a good idea for solving these issues, I’m certainly not going to cry about this particular neck intersecting said bit of ammunition nor fail to note the irony in that given his platform.

    Things that are violent:

    • Imprisoning and deporting innocent immigrants

    • State-sanctioned murder of black people via police

    • Legislating away the human rights of trans people

    • Forcing women to give birth against their will

    The real illiberal, fundamentalist, totalitarian terrorists are on the right. I didn’t shed a tear for Kirk and I wouldn’t for PP or JK, either.

        Nobody is a terrorist for killing Nazis. Charlie Kirk did this for thirteen years and even though he contributed to an incalculable amount of death, he was only stopped by a bullet.

        Similarly, it’s important to remember that despite millions of people pleading with JK, she is still single-handedly responsible for anti-trans and sexist laws in the UK. There are people who will die because she hasn’t been stopped. JK’s words are from a person who can and has contributed to genocide without ever getting their hands dirty. She knows that the state that tolerates fascism will always protect her.

        I can’t believe adults have watched the genocide in Gaza for two years and still think everyone has the privilege of decency in self-defense.

        It wasn’t even someone fucking oppositional to Kirk, it was another Nazi. Everything here is just so hollow dude ffs.

But two democrates get assassinated and they could care less.

    They want to “take action” against “praising, rationalizing, or making light of the killing of” their people, but actively go out of their way to encourage praising, rationalizing, or making light of the killing of their opponents. There are several words and an entire psychological spectrum of study related to that sort of rationale.

        fascist

        No he wasnt. And Id argue he was a racist either, as much the out of context quotes make it look like he was.

        Fascist is just another internet buzzword you are all saying because someone else said it. Seriously, go look on conservative boards, they are all calling you fascist for the wrong reasons as much as you call them it for the wrong reason. Wanna know why? Because of the echo chambers you are all stuck in, that keep pumping hate into your ears like a junkie pumps dope.

        Take a big step back, and I promise you. Instead a couple of days, you will feel so much better. This shit aint healthy. And the fact you are gaining joy from the death of a human being and suffering of his wife and children, should be alarming to you.

          Ummm, he died literally one sentence after blaming gun violence on blacks. I’m pretty sure he was racist.

          I don’t know how the right is justifying calling the left fascists but looking up the definition, and I think defining this is both important and difficult, it is characterized by a strong sense of nationalism. MAGA. Check.

          Concentration of power into a small number of or a single person. TACO. Check.

          Creating an enemy of a segment of the population. Immigrants. Check.

          A capitalist economy subject to strict government controls. Government takes part of nVidea’s profits to allow then to seek secrets chip technology overseas. TACO ordering the fed to let rates. Tariffs. Check.

          Violent suppression of the opposition. I would call the way ICE is working violent and clearly removing people disloyal to Trump’s agenda from the government along with sueing news organizations and admitting that he would take revenge on his political opponents is pretty friggin close. Check.

          A policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. If you can’t see that, then I’ll never convince you. Big check.

          Oppressive dictatorial control. Well let’s see. The right has the house, Senate, the supreme Court, oligarchs, the presidency and the president is acting like a dictator circumventing normal governmental controls. Check.

          Charlie Kirk has been a lightning rod of indoctrination of young people into this philosophy.

          So yeah, fascist.

          The definition comes from the American Heritage Dictionary by the way in addition to other sources. Merriam Webster has a more comprehensive definition. I’d like to see one America DOESN’T match.

                He didnt say that, and Stephen King just got slapped so hard hes still apologising for repeating it on twitter.

                You ALL took the shit he said, and twisted it for your own shitty culture war.

                https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/stephen-king-apologizes-charlie-kirk-stoning-gays-1236516429/

                The initial claim by King was in reference to comments that Kirk had made on his podcast in 2024, in which Kirk criticized children’s YouTube star Ms. Rachel for citing God’s wish for Christians to “love thy neighbor” in Leviticus, saying that should include gay people. Kirk responded, “By the way, Ms. Rachel, you might want to crack open that Bible of yours. In a lesser reference, part of the same part of scripture, in Leviticus 18, is that ‘thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death.’ Just saying.”

        The US government does not believe the CEO was doing harm.

        You distinguish a difference between the two but the US government does not.

        Furthermore, an insurance claimant (i.e. someone actively being denied healthcare by insurance) was detained for using the words “delay, deny, depose” on the phone. This was under the previous administration. But both administrations agree with the arrest.

    Are they going to start sanctioning individuals all over the world? They did it with the judge in the Bolsonaro case, and it caused problems in Brazil generally. I suppose if they do it to large numbers of people outside of the US, it would end up forcing countries to stop cooperating generally with the US.

    Side note, by her own definitions, JKR is illiberal. She is a fundamentalist. She is a totalitarian. And she definitely believes that some of her “political” opponents, trans people, should be punished with violence and death. What a telling post.

      it would end up forcing countries to stop cooperating generally with the US.

      Trump’s actions (and those of the people he appointed) have already set that in motion.

      Governments around the world are making agreements among themselves to avoid doing business with the US.

      The boycott USA movement is citizen led and is growing across the world.

      The Americans will find themselves increasingly irrelevant on the world stage, though they may not bother to notice for a while.

        So, when I say this, I mean something more than simple citizen led movements. Those will curtail some trade, for sure, and I’m all for them.

        In this case, I’m referring to the types of things that we plebs have no control over. There are a fair number of banking rules, for example, that are mandated by the US government in order to do business with US taxpayers. Some number of years back, for example, a bunch of banks globally just stopped allowing US taxpayers to have accounts, because of US laws that didn’t allow time for the banks to make the changes required, and imposed high fines if US taxpayers held accounts that weren’t reported to the US. (I’m pretty sure that US taxpayers are allowed bank accounts throughout the world again these days.)

        Should the US try this kind of thing on a larger scale, I think that will either lead the banks towards debanking many individuals throughout the world as the US imposes sanctions on more regular citizens of other countries, a two-tiered system where the banks attempt to comply, or larger scale choices to not cooperate with the US on a financial level, which would affect every country that own American debt.
