"charlie kirk being 'assassinated' is the American equivalent of reichstag fire"?

"complete crackdown"?

You know you're admitting to being a nazi, right?

This should be paired for contrast, as often as possible, with a collage of right-wing poster reactions mocking, minimizing or disputing the murder of Melissa Hortman and her husband.

[–] SL3wvmnas@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Well interestingly I could not find Kirk saying anything about Melissa Hortmans killing. That day is chock full of huge boner post for Israel Iranian War. When another shooting happened a day later he said (excerpt):

now today's diabolical attack in Minnesota, allegedly by Vance Luther Boelter.

There are far too many mentally unstable and suggestible people on the left …

With lots of decoration, projection and minimization around this tidbit. Full text

Edit: I'm aware Boelter turned out to be more of a Christo-Fascist. That's why I found Kirk immediately blaming "the left" without knowing anything so weird.

THEY ARE AT WAR WITH US

rofl what the average radical leftist's "war" looks like

I want your children to be happy, healthy, and have a future worth looking forward to

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I always laugh at "radical leftist". I want actual examples or policies. I can give radical right wing examples and policies all day.

They havent even caught the shooter... they dont even know they are a leftist.

They could be, likely are, but it doesnt matter. If it turns out to have been someone on the right or someone from outside the US political spectrum it will be swept under the rug.

The right are hijacking this to spread propaganda. Utter bollocks

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (3 children)

WSJ published a story this morning reporting that “sources” claim they found a hunting rifle in the woods and unspent ammo that had “trans and antifa ideology” written on them.

If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.

It's not even likely. I was born in 1980 there have been thousands of mass shootings since then in the US. Two of the shooters in the last 45 years had leftist tendencies. The vast majority of them were hard line right wingers.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

My money is and forever will be on right winger mad about how quickly Kirk got in line on Epstein.

Amount of Russian assets, bots and useful idiots are going rampant. They want US to go to civil war.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Absolutely they do. If America falls to civil war, it's sphere of influence contracts and Russia becomes more powerful in that vacuum.

All for a guy that's not even a politician .

Nazi's murdered a dem senator and the no one really flipped hell kirk probably laughed. But now Nazi's want an excuse to shoot up and bomb cities ?

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 45 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And very likely that the shooter was a Republican. They're just looking for an excuse to go full Nazis on the "opposition"

I love the guy calling it the American Reichstag Fire. Oh boy, if only he knew German history.

Right? Like wow, so youre putting the Trump administration in the position of the Nazi party in this thought experiment. How revealing.

That's what MAGAs do: they'll ask you to be extremely polite and civil, reproach your jokes and ask for human compassion while burning crosses at your door.

Love the guy saying it's like the Reichstag fire. So the shooter is a nazi?

[–] Akrenion@slrpnk.net 53 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That one got to me. There is a strong reason to believe the Reichstagsfire was a self incited crisis to justify a power grab. Why do people think this is a good comparison?

So, after finding out which political party the Robinson family supports, the stupid fuckers can go after each other.

And remember when the violent left went and made all kind of unhinged tweets supporting political violence and retribution against conservatives all over America after Melissa Hortman and her husband in a act of politically motivated violence? When the same thing happened when Paul Pelosi was nearly killed and the violent left declared war and the extermination of Republicans?

Yeah, not even pepperidge farms remembers that because the Right has nothing but projection.

They've been wanting a war ever since their great grandaddies got their asses handed to them by the union armies. If we give it to them this time, I propose we totally eradicate them rather than waste time on a second Reconstruction

This may age like milk but, I look forward to the conversation in two weeks when these same voices age saying

"we need to move on from the tragedy of the Charlie Kirk shooting"

And

"Charlie Kirk did not represent true conservative values"

in two weeks from now trump will be back posting memes about killing dems and the media will blame dems for the lack of civility

John Brown and Luigi Mangione did nothing wrong. Kirk’s shooter didn’t either. The only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing. While illegal, killing fascists and fascist sympathizers is morally just.

Rot in piss, Charlie

They're calling shit pretty early, considering the guy who tried killing Trump was a right winger.

So, Not being sad for a shit stain's death is a "violence". But threatening violence is not?

Total silence regarding those two lawmakers though, weird.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

That's a picture worth saving. For the inevitable post some Republican will make about how peaceful they are. And how 'mature' they act. Reply with this every single time, watch these people in the photo get disowned so fast by the people they associate with.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

We are seeing many of the "voices" that are attempting to capitalize on the violence. What we're not seeing are the "ears" - the ears that just saw their fearless leader is in fact a pedophile, who just sent troops to cities with no remarkable record of violence, etc.

I know these people don't mean what they say because they're saying them - tweeting them and vaguely implying others do it for them, minding their wording so they can't be sued or found liable later. The people that take action are the gullible hacks that buy into their narrative. The question now is how compelling that narrative still is.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Scary shit. They should aim those guns at child rapists. Also, release the Epstein files.

[–] ThisSeriesIsFalse@lemmy.ca 45 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fuck, it would be so pathetically hilarious for the second American civil war to start over Charlie fucking Kirk of all people. It'd be like if WW1 started because the pet fish of the wife of the cousin of the Archdike's brother was shot.

How's this any different from their usual calls to violence? How do their threats differ from the right wing assassins, Queer space shootings, planned parenthood and abortion clinic bombings?

They want chaos. Laugh mockingly

I feel really bad for Charlie Kirk, he was about 2 years away from continuing to declare school shootings make us free while having a school aged child. That level of hypocrisy is what they live for, and he never got it ;_;

Interesting how I just got done mentioning in another thread that they essentially just flip the truth on its head and start talking. Pretty much just the direct opposite of the truth all the time.
