Charlie's only shot ar college was to debate new adults with a decade worth of adulthood less than he. He debated with a 10 handicap.
Charlie's only shot at college
Recent circumstances suggest he got one additional shot.
Funny how he'd never 'debate' actual educated adults.
Fucking hell this woman, a month ago she was saying he was a traitor and now he is a public hero? Every single day she lowers her humanity bar more to new depths I didn't know was possible. I am pretty convinced she is just trying to increase her visibility via rage baits.
she has her marching orders from putin, her financier, much like most of the grifters right now.
Charlie Kirk didn't go to college.
No but he did die at a University.
He never wanted an education, but at least someone gave him a good shot at college.
Didn't he get shot in college?
He only went for lunch
Wasn't he also against free lunches?
Apparently the last one cost his life, which is far from free.
He lived by the college campus and died by the college campus.
Right wing grifters have seen great success directly targeting young people, from Ben Shapeepo and Jordan Peterson doing this along side Kirk for years through to people like Steve Bannon targeting WoW players, and the efforts recruiting from 4chan, and this is just what we know about.
They are groomers and indoctrination agents, they are everything we need to fight in society, so let's not let the current uproar and narrative crafting stop us from protesting and pushing back on these full-grown-ass men with millions of dollars "just hanging out" in our school campuses.
And look where that got him..
Lol I was about to say "do you want to be like Charlie Kirk?"
What do you mean Kirk didn't go to college? He was killed at one!
Laura Loomer is a paid AIPAC soulless ghoul
I'm not sure I want to follow Charlie Kirk career path. It sort of seems like a dead-end.
he washed out of college, and made money being a grifter of people stupider than he is, and on occaision doing Shapiro specials, of "gotcha moments on the left"
He made his living from wingnut welfare.
Laura apparently wants her supporters to end up like Charlie Kirk.
These arguments always remind me of this quote from The West Wing: "Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge for its citizens, just like national defense. That's my position."
look whats happening to teachers right now: getting fired for quesitoning Charlie kirk, and then theres the disrespect from students and parents forcing them to leave education forever. The pay is just adding insult to injury. I occasionally go on the r/teacher sub, and almost every post is they cant handle school anymore.
there was a bill to double educators salary in california. stalled in committee.
Ah yes, the good old american Maoism.
I mean, no one educated should be on Twitter.
Seriously. Do people not understand 'don't feed the trolls'?
"Don't feed the trolls" sounds great in theory, and for your own personal sanity it makes sense. Unfortunately ignoring people like this doesn't make them go away though. Instead, the lack of any pushback to their vitriol and lies just pulls in even more people and makes their message stronger.
You can push back.
Just not on their turf.
If you were in Nazi Germany, would you push back in a forum personally set up by Hilter to make you look like provocateur then cut you off? No. That would be stupid, and even worse, validates the platform with your presence.
You go somewhere else. And bring people with you.
Also "don't feed the trolls" was killed by 4chan's networked harrasment campaigns, and said 4channers wanted to reinterpret that saying as "leave the internet", "don't do the thing we harrassed you over", etc.
exactly,
I think George Takei gets a pass. He's there as a warrior, buddy. (edit ok but not alex cole who is that guy lol, and I forgot that's George's bluesky account. I'll just shut up now. slinks away)
ah, yes, a shining example
don't go to college, because if you don't, you'll definitely become a mouthpiece for fascists making millions of dollars until you're publicly assassinated because somebody got sick of your hateful shit and stopped you from spreading it
Why is the bottom tweet acting like Charlie Kirk was some paragon of intelligence? Ah yes, we must defend colleges because this random guy didn't go to one.
Also, aren't the students the ones funding colleges in the first place? What funding would be getting taken from them?
Here's my montage: Came from a super conservative catholic Republican family, grew up a republican twat kid. Went to college. Loathe Republicans now.
Wasn't Kirk rejected for some fancy military academy? Bet he compared himself with Hitler.
What has ever happened to George to make him so fucking based. It's as if he was hit with the based stick at some point in his life or something like that.
His early childhood was spent imprisoned in an internment camp for Japanese Americans during WWII. There are probably other factors but seems like that would play a big part.
If you don't already know, you should look at his life story, the man has lived through a lot in his life time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Takei
