I'm so confused. Shouldn't he feel safe with security and being a "good guy" with a gun to protect himself?

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 24 points 3 days ago

I don't really get it. Are they scared that there is another good guy with a gun?

[–] jason@discuss.online 74 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I've thought about this a lot since Luigi. The power of these alt reality movements is derived from their mouthpieces. Without their army of apologists, every ridiculous lie sounds as stupid as it is and always was.

Being a professional shill/propagandist for these people should be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and I'm surprised that's not the case. So, smart move on Ben. He should hang up the towel, and find a real job.

"I'm all for violence and hate, just not towards me. I want to spread hate and fear, as I'm a soldier for my beliefs. But not when there's a slightest chance of risk for my own safety involved. I only want to harm others while being safe myself."

Ben Shapiro killed Charlie Kirk. After all, Ben Shapiro was the rising star replacement for Rush Limbaugh until Charlie Kirk came along and passed him up, and became the big MAGA Media darling.

Now Shapiro is back on top. He stands to benefit the most by Kirk's death. Obviously, Shapiro did it.

No no, Ben, god chose you, he'll just gently blow any bullets out of the way, right? Because god exists? And prayer works? He created the universe and shit?

I want to punch this weasel-faced rat just on principle, but especially because of his overt religiosity, and therefore dangerous insanity.

Why isn't religion a mental illness?

It proves that guns will make them shut up.

Come on, exercise your free speech.

Ooh here's another one who's right to be scared, and whose death I would struggle to shed a tear over.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 106 points 3 days ago (16 children)

We're not supposed to celebrate death or violence.

In unrelated matters, I just want to say that I'm really enjoying Lemmy's m/music community today, y'all should check them out!

Edit: ITT: a lot of people who haven't checked out https://lemmy.world/c/music?dataType=Post&sort=New

Come on Ben, go stand up on a stage somewhere in public, go speak your mind since you love doing that. Don't be a fucking coward, go put yourself out there and keep spewing your hateful drivel.

One major difference between the Kirk shooting and that of the Minnesota legislators is that when Hortman was murdered, the rest of the Democrats still showed up to work.

Why? Because what Shapiro et al do isn't something they truly believe in, it's all a grift to make money. As soon as selling hate becomes too dangerous, they'll just pivot to selling crypto or some shit.

[–] firewyre@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

lol what a pussy

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Shapiro should keep going out and talking, he just needs to bring his wife with him. That way, if something happens, she can just soak up all the blood with her desiccated vagina.

Hey maybe there's a guy with a hit list going around killing people. Or was that the Minnesota shooter that was out to kill a bunch of democrats?

I hope this is the result, these radical righties fade into the shadows afraid for their lives.

Edited to say; Same people expect our kids to show up in school after mass shootings. HYPOCRITES.

Good. Now they're learning the part of the book where Frankenstein fears what he created.

  • Did he ask for all Epstein files to be released?
  • Did he think Israel is going to kill him?
  • Did he show concern about Israel lobby in the US or sign of switching his stands on genocide?
  • Is there an attempt to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files in congress this day?

I think he should be alright...

[–] Loce@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Yeah, he's so alpha
