It's incredible to me that so many people were absolutely up in arms, even in my own real, personal life, about this fucking guy getting a free throat surgery that they completely ignore the vultures of culture tearing apart his still-warm body into scraps for the media.
Leftists didn't immediately turn his death into a spectacle, leftists didn't immediately start trying to fuck his wife (elon), leftists didn't hijack his organization. Just really funny stuff.
did I miss a super cringe tweet
It was posted on here a bit ago, right after Kirk died Elon immediately unfollowed him and started following Ezra while retweeting her posts. We all know how he is.
Unfollowing someone who just got killed is the even funnier part tbh. Like he immediately doesn't want to hear from this guy anymore now that he's dead. Fake friend and hypocrite got himself shot, gtfo my feed
going to have to disagree with you on that one.
Yeah dawg the memes were pretty lit
we don't have the media jobs to get paid for it
that was sort of my point, memes on hexbear/instagram isn't the same as full on presidential endorsement at your funeral, having major news channels broadcast it as a tragedy and genuinely float around the idea of minting coins. That's a spectacle. Not internet memes.
What influential leftist was up on TV, What leftist was taking over his foundation and what leftist is turning it into a national tragedy in american governance? That is exactly what I mean, not "dank memes on instagram and hexbear!!"
There are influential leftists on TV?
I guess Hasan's stream gets covered by those kinds of things and he immediately went to condemn violence or whatever.
Either way, leftists independently immediately were celebrating while most people were still in the "what's a charlie kirk?" (many of whom very soon became "I heard Charlie was a great man. A genius they say" people). No top-down propaganda machine needed other than Charlie living a life that would lead to good people celebrating its loss. But yeah: it wasn't a spectacle - people were just genuinely happy.
Yup, what I mean. Us celebrating isn't a spectacle, what occurred afterwards to manufacture the hysteria in media certainly was, though.
I mean we would've if they'd let us
There's a lot of things that would be done if they let us.
