Are they sending a representative to Gavin Newsom’s podcast so he can agree with them?

number of days until hexbear appears in the congressional record just ticked down again. nazis get 
Killing Kirk really did just speed up this violent crackdown on the left into overdrive.
Did it though? If Kirk wasn't assassinated, they would have just invented a pretense. IMO they're just doing what they have planned for all this time.
It's both. This is what they wanted to do anyway. The plan was clearly already mostly drafted and agreed to. But they needed the right moment. The murder was that moment.
If the same murder happened in 72 days, these things happening now wouldn't be happening until 72 days from now.
But they needed the right moment. The murder was that moment.
That's kinda my point though: they could have simply manufactured "the right moment". Hell, they could have even presenting literally nothing as the right moment. They have control over the propaganda machines.

Yeah I'm not with you on the timeline here. Maybe a week at best. The capitalists are quickly remembering that what they can do to us in their system is functionally independent from the will of its subjects.
for all we know, they did manufacture this, or this kid is a patsy and there was an israeli sniper or some wild shit, who knows!
What we do know is that something happening was inevitable
If they could just manufacture the right moment at any time, why didn't it happen the first week of Trump's term in Jan or, at least, in Feb? They waited for some reason. What is the reason?
IMO there are three convincing explanations:
I brought up disaster capitalism in a different thread last night and I think that's the ticket for this. It's not that they were sitting around waiting on a moment. You don't waste time trying to predict moments like this. You maintain a relative state of readiness for anything and when something like this happens, you pounce and milk it for all you can. Even they don't know what affordances Kirk's death will provide. They're experimenting. That's why it's quickly morphing into this weird catch-all cause. Somehow military recruitment, late night TV, transgender rights, AI grifts, and social media are all tied into this. The somehow is that there are different groups who have different goals and interests beyond the general goal of maintaining capital control. They're all trying to figure out what this will let them get away with. Can we re-align late night TV so our constituents aren't hearing how shit we are? Maybe. Can we take a moment to stomp on trans rights some more? We'll try. Can we get some more police drones that scan public events? Might as well, it'll stop another Charlie from happening.
The dude's corpse is being divided up and mashed into oil for all these different machines. It is related even though it's not actually related, if that makes sense. They weren't waiting on a moment and they also aren't able to do it without a moment because opportunism requires an opportunity.
The Epstein connection. That story, whatever the libs tried to rile up before, is well buried now. Nobody’s gonna remember it anymore. Trump got the distraction he needed.
There was nothing happening with Epstein before Kirk was shot. We had gotten to the point where the only thing was a release of unspecified documents, which was a long shot. This is months after the FBI and AG had already gotten hold of it all and redacted it or destroyed stuff. The release was halted in the House before Kirk was shot. The Senate halted release 3 hours after Kirk was shot. Even if the docs were released, then what? Who is going to arrest Trump? Who is going to prosecute him? The AG that helped him redact the docs? His FBI lapdog?
I'm Epstein-pilled but it just doesn't connect for me. Even the news had mostly stopped covering it. There was supposed to be this big reckoning when Congress came back into session this month but it didn't happen. They came back and blocked the release of the files. Trump simply wasn't in any political or legal danger. I too thought he would be for a minute but then reality hits. We all moved on from JFK and 9/11 too.
If the same murder happened in 72 days, these things happening now wouldn't be happening until 72 days from now.
disagree.
some other shit would have been an opportunity sooner than that. or they'd just make something up or they'd just do it.
I mean, sure there would probably be an event earlier than 72 days later. It could have been a different event though.
Let’s not forget this event had nothing to do with transgender people. They were going to do this regardless.
We're spending a lot of time here trying to figure out if it was the toaster or coffee maker which started the fire while ignoring the gas leak. At a certain point the situation becomes so volatile a fart can set it off.
I think maybe 20 or 30 percent of this stuff would have happened by now, but this has given them an excuse to accelerate
I feel everyone is forgetting the detrans neonazi school shooter. Like they were talking about a lot if this stuff already in response to that. This was just an even better excuse.
Funny thing is it's a worse excuse becauae the killer is cis, but it's a flashier headline because it was a celeb that got killed
The Charlie Kirk assassination is becoming our Reichstag fire. This is just the dumbest timeline.
The only thing I can say for sure is it's not enough for one fascist to fall.
come at me idgaf
"terrorist" has turned into a meaningless buzz word, like "woke"
~~The boy who cried wolf.~~
The Trump who cried terrorist.
I literally warned about this before the election, only to be ridiculed by half of the users here.
People here really have no idea how fast fascism can take hold of a society.
Your mistake continues to be believing Biden would have slowed down anything in this regard.
Also you can take your L for supporting the person who started the genocide if that makes you feel better about being "correct".
I never said anything about “supporting” Biden or Harris. I am very well aware of the genocide argument and that these are the ghouls here.
Just the other day, someone argued with me that Trump’s accelerationism would somehow be beneficial to the left for recruitment, because people/libs are easier to be radicalized under Trump while they love to brunch under Democrats.
Yes, for a prepared left that has the capacity to take advantage of the situation. But the American left is NOT prepared. They need time to organize. And 4 years is 4 years.
Also, if your strategy to rally people to your cause relies on minorities paying the price (and perhaps even with their lives), then you have a serious problem.
I never said anything about “supporting” Biden or Harris.
Telling people to vote for someone is like the dictionary definition of support. I legitimately don't understand what y'all think "support" means. Wanting to suck them off? Treating everything they say as gospel? Thinking they'll go to heaven in the afterlife?
I genuinely don't know, because in my book, supporting someone is when you provide them with, you know, support. For example, in the form of a vote or in the form of trying to convince others to vote for them.

It's not wrong to say that this acceleration from the government creates new opportunities for leftist organizing. That's not saying Trump is good, it's just an assessment of the situation. And I see it borne out all the time, the interest in 
has grown by an order of magnitude since his election. We have to deal with the ups and downs of where we're at right now.
Yeah I reject the idea that 4 years of Biden would give the left “time to organize,” democrats are counter revolutionary and possible organizing subjects tune out out of necessity/go back to brunch once blue is back in office. 2020 had simultaneous crises and they were mollified by liberal cooptation. Families separated, kids in cages, police murder, genocide in Palestine, nobody flocked to those banners because Biden was in charge. Is this accelerationism? It seems like an evaluation of reality
While i do agree somewhat, it was Biden and Harris' choice not to pivot on Gaza and not do economic populist messaging. This site had no power to influence the election.
They sent Bill Clinton and Josh Shapiro to Michigan to talk about "Judea and Samaria". Every half decent messaging like calling Republicans weird or price controls were immediately abandoned.
Stay safe comrades. My heart aches for all of you
"The Trump administration first created the NVE designation earlier this year to replace the Biden-era label “Anti-Authority and Anti-Government Violent Extremists” (AGAAVE), created to categorize January 6 rioters and other right-wing groups."
If only we voted blue :(
All trans people are khamas
US is behaving exactly the same as Israel.
So. Functionally, what will that mean for us? Like, will this be some kind of niding-esque thing where anyone can report us for being trans and we get arrested? Or a busted taillight thing, where they probably wont pull you over for it but if youre doing 45 in a 30 theyll pull you over and add a busted taillight charge to the ticket? Or something else?
Basically, how fucked are we if this happens?
Edit: niding is probably the wrong word, since they were more outside the law.
Exactly, it's gonna be a multiplier if you get caught up in anything else. The busted tail light is a great analogy
Praying trump doesn't follow through with this like he hasn't with everything else in his life
