Dude has been real quiet about Iran re~~cently~~ 

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (3 children)

How's that martyrdom going? I rarely hear folks talk about this grifter anymore. Good riddance. I'm just glad he's not here to change his stance on war with Iran.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 26 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Erika Kirk is getting a sweet deal by going on tour mourning his loss with blackjack and hookers.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

Grifters gonna grift.

[–] tauisgod@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

And my state just made a law mandating schools have TPUSA student clubs. Knowing my shitheel government, the next step will be compulsory membership

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

That sounds extremely un-american to me.

[–] Identikit@leminal.space 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Most likely a southern state, a friend said Arkansas did this recently.

The clubs have been there, teens become friends with people who believe in that “debate club” crap.

[–] tauisgod@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Nope. We call ourselves the middle finger of the south

[–] PowBlok@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Y'all haven't stopped talking about him since he died lol

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 16 hours ago

I remember that fact every few months and go “heh”. Now assume that everyone here behaves the same and some act on it and post: individual people don't need to think about him frequently for you to see posts frequently.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Sure it's always good to point out that a person held absolutely trash views, horrible at debating anyone that was serious, and was a objectively horrible human being.

You always need to talk about a person like that as a model for how not to be a good person to help ensure future generations don't end up to be racist, intellectually dishonest, grifting trash adults.

Very polite to confirm a person's preferred conjugates

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wasn't this chud killed by another fascist?

Reckon his supporters are gonna go anti-fascist now?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Available evidence suggests he was probably on the left as he apparently killed him over trans rights. But the killer left very little clear information about his political views--if he had any beyond opposing bigotry.

[–] BussyCat@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn’t he a groper who disliked him because of his pro Israel stance?

The fact we haven’t heard anything else from him kind of cements that as well as the current fbi would clearly politicize it if they could

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I've seen no evidence he was a groyper. There were rumors of that but I'm unsure what they were based on.

Like I said, he just really didn't say much about his politics publicly.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I believe the groyper accusations were based on unsubstantiated reports of slogans written on bullets, but like you said, idk about actual evidence. Given the two loudest theories being he was either a fascist or an anarchist, he was probably a centrist.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

unsubstantiated reports of slogans written on bullets

I would not call a join press conference by the FBI director Kash Patel and Ohio Governor Spenser Cox unsubstantiated.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

He was formerly a chud too, but slowly left when he saw what MAGA did to his family...

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

Trantifa strikes again

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Not enough poop stains, imho.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago

At the very end he leaned left.

[–] Naich@piefed.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fucking hell. Steady on Mr. Psycho.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'll be cheering even more loudly when Trump dies,

However he goes, I hope it's very painful

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I will be buying expensive liquor and calling out of work

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I have a bottle of 2006 Piper Heidsek vintners reserve champagne standing by

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I'm gonna buy a flag pole and let Ol' Glory fly at full mast for the whole time she's ordered to half.

And then I'm going to take it down, only to be seen for special occasions, as the line between patriotism and nationalism is too fucking thin these days.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)
[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I honestly don't even understand why he has a memorial. He was just some guy. I said the same thing when Trump ordered flags at half staff for him.

Let's put aside his politics for a moment.

Kirk wasn't elected. He didn't hold any political office. Literally just a random person who was killed.

What he was known for was spewing hate, and then his own blood.

[–] freehand8776@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

He has almost the same exact credentials as MLK Jr. Only difference was Kirk was a douchebag

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

That's why they memorialized him. He was a fascist mouthpiece and they loved him for it. May he rest in piss

[–] whats_a_lemmy@midwest.social 2 points 15 hours ago

The Horst Wessel of our time

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

If I ever visit one of his memorials, I'll make sure to piss on it in his honour.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

He was a wannabe Rush Limbaugh style conservative political pundit clone that got funding from a billionaire at an early age. Nothing more, nothing less. Dude essentially hit the conservative political pundit lottery.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They did everything they could to martyr him.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Look up Horst Wessel.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

It looks a lot better now

[–] errer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 2 points 22 hours ago

Even that was better than he deserved.

nice. despite all the political building, conservatives still build public gender neutral bathrooms

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

These colors do, in fact, run.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why would I run away from the ideas I believe in or try to silence them? That quote doesn’t even make any sense

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

None of their bullshit makes any sense.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It makes it a fitting memorial for him.

[–] Naich@piefed.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it's trying to excuse being a massive arsehole to people.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago
[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 day ago

Awww that's so nice! Warms my heart to see.
