And look where that got him..

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Lol I was about to say "do you want to be like Charlie Kirk?"

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

I mean, no one educated should be on Twitter.

Seriously. Do people not understand 'don't feed the trolls'?

[–] suicidaleggroll@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (3 children)

"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.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

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)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

i'm gonna be honest, i give takei a pass because he's takei. we've all gotten to know him parasocially over the years. i can think of a hundred excuses for him, but honestly he just seems like a righteous dude. he doesn't need an excuse for where he chooses to online, as long as it's not stormfront or krasnovsocial he's cool.

Optional offense but I am not trying to end up like him...

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Laura Loomer is a paid AIPAC soulless ghoul

[–] hapablap@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I want to follow Charlie Kirk career path. It sort of seems like a dead-end.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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"

Defund American universities? If tuition goes toward funding universities, does that mean.... naaaah that's socialism!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

they will fund conservative colleges solely.
