If there's even a single grain of truth to this I guarantee it's only because of all the propaganda spread by evangelical missionaries in Africa over the last 30 or so years

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.

That quote about how first comes the clergyman, followed by the surveyor and the tradesman, followed by the infantryman and the artilleryman

And tax officials, and keeping pig farms. It's a multifaceted issue really

I mean it's Rod Dreher and Zimbabwe. Guaranteed it's a descendant of a rhodesian settler, of course those freaks are talking about kirk.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah this isn't really surprising. It's like saying white South Africans are talking about Charlie Kirk.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

even if the email is genuine "talking about it" could mean they were celebrating and the priest or Rod are simply omitting that for political purposes

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

Its fake cause no one is getting possessed or exorcised

Just left Zimbabwe and everyone was talking about Elizabeth Warren. ‘Yoooo ya girl bro! That’s that heat we need for Trump!’ When you are getting talked about in Zimbabwe — you know it’s real.”

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

In Zimbabwe, they call her Sister Elizabeth

Sources are saying that even uncontacted tribes of Papua are talking about it!

it-is-known

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh yeah? Well:

Just left the barbershop and everyone was talking about Tyler Robinson. ‘That’s that heat we need for Kirk!’ When you are getting talked about in the barbershop — you know it’s real.

Or maybe:

I just a left a hipster coffee shop. It was packed with liberals, whispering amongst each other about what a commendable job Tyler Robinson did with Charlie Kirk this week in Utah -- America is PROUD! 🇺🇸"

My uncle is the CEO of Nintendo and he said everyone at Nintendo cheered when Charlie Kirk died. Even Yoshi.

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was at work when I announced that Charlie Kirk was dead, everyone stood up and cheered, my boss (wiping his tears of happiness away) presented me with a Powerade bottle full of this own piss and asked me to spread it all over Charlie's grave for him. Then the CEO showed up and gave us all the rest of the day off (paid) and then even took us out to femboy hooters afterwards, which was running a special "Charlie Kirk" happy hour. America is truly healing.

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

Glad I'm not the only one who keeps a Powerade bottle full of my own piss around for special occasions.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I've mentioned something about this (Kirk's death) to my grass-touching boomer friends and they were like "with shit he was saying no wonder someone popped him"

[–] miz@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

Rod Dreher has emailed himself again

to his credit I think he faked this himself instead of asking an LLM to do it

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm actually living on Sentinel Island right now, and all they're talking about is Charlie Kirk. It's wild.

[–] redparadise@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

As someone from the same country, I can confirm.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was in the Zimbabwean barber shop,

warren-snake-green that's that fire we need to beat Trump

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

All my parishioners are laughing, just outside of frame.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Talking about how if Charlie Kirk listened to the Wu-Tang Clan's 1992 song "Protect Ya Neck" even once, he'd still be alive today.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

The mainstream capitalist media around the globe talks nonstop about how a fascist was actually Jesus for days on end and people...know about it?! Truly perplexing stuff.

Though a lot of Christian evangelicals think Africa is trapped in the "stone age" or whatever and don't realise that these rural villages in Zimbabwe have electricity, and TVs and phones and internet. They legitimately think they are "tribal savages" who are like innocent naive children in desperate need of a white saviour to teach them about Jesus.
