So I’m browsing my phone and I see Kyle Rittenhouse, remember that shithead? He’s famous because he killed someone. The right tried to turn him into a celebrity but he was so helpless he couldn’t hack it. He couldn’t handle being on a leash for thousands of dollars. I’d embarrass myself on a street corner frequented exclusively by people I have a crush on for the kind of money this murderer threw away.

Meanwhile Charlie Kirk was a genius by comparison. A bright rising star. Still a fucking racist dumbass but capable of wearing a suit and putting on an act. Capable of speaking while holding eye contact. Capable of subtly decreasing the circumference of his face. Remember the bar is “not a remorseless murderer” so clearing it isn’t impressive but I will give Charlie credit where it’s due: he didn’t kill anyone.

And I think about this. How the right wing is so destructive it can’t help but be self destructive. It produces white male gunmen and here’s 2 case examples from within their own house: Charlie gets killed by the kind of person they defended in Kyle. Enshitification in action. What a bummer. What a letdown. Poor Charlie couldn’t even find a partner who would mourn his passing. Meanwhile Kyle, the guy they all wish they could forget is still around.

It’s a brutal fate. shrug-outta-hecks. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.

Congratulations, you've finally found my line. I wouldn't do this to Charlie Kirk. I wouldn't even do this to Hitler. I winced just reading this comment lmao

Punitive justice is just masturbatory sadism, but sometimes it takes someone taking it to its logical extreme to make it obvious because we live in a society where that particular genre of sadism is lionized.

Hitler is probably one of the few people I'd be okay with this happening to. I couldn't do this to someone and live with it but like if it happened to Hitler I'd probably just shrug. Maybe say he had it coming idk

This was fresh in my mind because I watched the Xmas episode of Black Mirror recently with a similar plot device as what's basically locked-in syndrome.
