Sometimes I wake up very depressed by my ability to navigate this horrible wasteland of a planet. Then I'm reminded that I am not the dumbest person here by a mile.

[–] Dymonika@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's what makes everything horrible!

First thought: it’d be really funny for someone to do a selfie in the tent with a strategically placed squib on them.

Second thought: it’s the weekend before Christmas, don’t these people have shopping and decorating and making Christmas cookies to do? I swear the people who do the most kvetching about the death of “traditional” culture are the ones who take the least joy in those festivities.

They can’t do anything Christmas related ever since Obama won the war on Christmas.

These types of people have a very high probability of not being invited to family events

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing is sacred to them. These are the most wretched, black hearted people you could imagine. They're cartoon villains, like Cruella Deville. It's such a freakshow it's more funny than scary.

The american right wing is essentially tens of millions of people formed up together around various personality influencers that they like.

When you eliminate the influencer, you scatted some of that right wing into the winds and if they do not land on another right wing influencer the right essentially loses traction and control over them. Their views slide out of alignment with the rest of the right as they start thinking for themselves (however wrongly) and no longer have someone else injecting thoughts into them. This causes conflict within the right as views become less unified.

These influencers have replaced news channels, radio, and newspapers in people's daily diet of bullshit. The thing is though, you couldn't destroy a newspaper or a news channel in the past. They didn't die overnight because one newscaster that everyone liked left the channel or paper.

These modern newspapers can die, and it takes many years to build them up in the first place.

You can't kill an idea, or a strong ideological movement. But you can kill a cult of personality.

The modern right can be killed, in a way that they have been trying to kill communism since Marx's day and never could.

Yes exactly. It's actually starting to make new-media look very tenuous for them. What happens if class war gets really heavy? They won't have influencers because they'll be toast and it takes years to build them up.

All other things are structured as organisations that are not reliant upon one person's entertaining persona. If these personas die or get spooked enough the result is a significant loss of influence unlike anything that has been possible in the past.

It's not going to stop people being right wing but it's going to stop the right wing being coordinated and united in thought which creates a whole mess for them.

I also haven't really seen any repercussions for Kirk or Luigi. Nobody gives a shit about them, including the right and their crocodile tears. There's that whole Trump antifa designated terrorism thing but I'm pretty sure he was going to do that anyway so I don't think it's actually been caused by it.

my two thesis that relate to this: #1 everything is a fandom now. #2 the WWEification of american politics

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago

they should've put a sniper on the other side too

[–] booty@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

Some real jokester could do some funny ass shit, just saying fedposting

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

I imagine this...

Comments to the MSM: "It's a biggest tragedy in American history that Charlie Kirk was murdered. This proves the hatred and discrimination Christians face in America every single day. And when I go to Starbucks and I give my name as 'Charlie Kirk' - it's sad - very, very sad - how many people don't understand..."

Comments to each other: "O! M! G! Let's go to the tent! Selfie time!"

Reverse nativity scene in every aspect, perfect

He leaned the left in the end

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

They need to do an escape room where the premise is that you need to smuggle out bloody Charlie Kirk merch.

Move away cross necklaces, a new death symbol is in town

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I came in here to say this is just like the stations of the cross, except it's the stations of the dullard who got owned.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

You can see all around people are saying, like ‘For Charlie,’ they're wearing replicas of the shirt that Charlie Kirk was wearing when he was killed

Bit idea: this but with the blood stains

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

Modern day Guy Fawkes

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

He wasn't murdered! His neck just did that.

[–] Ishmael@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

They aren't beating the "death cult" allegations
