You had a guy who was annoying but at the end of the day he’s just a (large) talking head.
I don’t entirely agree. Charlie Kirk directly contributed to, and could easily be considered responsible for, an incredible amount of violence directed at marginalized groups and peoples. It’s just not as immediately obvious because he isn’t a health insurance CEO.
We joke a lot about people getting the wall here and well, here’s somebody who actually got it. The major difference between carrying out a court-imposed death sentence and just merking a nazi is that you don’t have to dress up to do the latter.
In terms of strategy, something like this was going to happen sooner or later. If it wasn’t Charlie Kirk it would’ve been Ben Shapiro or someone else. The fascists are going to do what they’re going to do regardless if someone gives them an excuse, and if they really want one then the most murderous empire in world history most definitely has the capacity to manufacture it.
As it stands, I don’t think we get to skip the era of adventurism and go straight to, like, a strategic protracted peoples’ war, whether that’s a good thing or not. I feel like there’s going to be decades of this before anything resembling that even becomes a remote possibility.
You can take the BE out of streaming, but you can’t take the streaming out of BE.
TBH I wish he would stop talking about suing nobodies on twitter and actually do it, the average boomer judge’s head would probably explode from all the required context
Doesn’t help that the last two high profile attempted assassinations of a reactionary were committed by Thomas Crooked Shot and some clueless lib boomer. Got used to the low quality of assassins
“How dare you disrespect the memory of a fascist. Political violence is never acceptable, unless of course the state does it. You must ask the fascists nicely to give you what you want”
Next person who tries to take out Trump should be taking notes
