Somehow the Charlie Kirk thing doesn't fit in there so well…

that was neck, not head

It's only an assassination if they attack the ass region, otherwise it's just sparkling slaughtering

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

no an assassination, or ass ass I nation, is a nation with only me and fine asses

That wasn't assassination. That was murder. To be an assassination the target needs to have significance.

[–] Instigate@aussie.zone 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fact that people are still talking about him and his killing shows that he had significance. He held significance as a prominent right wing nut job and radicaliser. He held significance as a poster boy for the disingenuous “just asking questions” approach of stochastic terrorism. He holds significance as a so-called martyr of the MAGA cult. Just because he didn’t/doesn’t hold significance to you doesn’t mean he wasn’t/isn’t significant. I don’t like that it’s true, but it is.

Nah the media has been working overtime to try and make him significant but he's really just a meaningless footnote

There are exceptions. Sometimes the universe gets it right.
