I made some stupid comments about Charlie Kirk

Were the comments that he was an excellent debater or always argued in good faith?

You know you could've just said you were an Etsy witch, and no one would have any further questions.

What's your fault? His itchy anus?

 

We are not the same.

Obligatory Fuck Graham Linehan for using contents from one of his shows. Credit to Graham Norton for his perfect performance here and for "backstabbing" his former collaborator Graham Linehan.

I know that the economy is much worse now, but this new term "job hugging" has just been the reality for millions of working class people for decades.

That's what makes it so hilarious. They're fighting accusations of him being heartless with a fake quote of him making a terrible argument based on a false definition.

You're taking that out of context.

Anything short of "I hate all black people and want to see them enslaved again" is not good enough evidence for them.

The thing is that people like this make the bar for proving it so high that an explicit confession is the only acceptable form of proof.

Talking about "prowling blacks" isn't racist, because he wasn't saying that about all black people. Saying successful black women like Ketanji Brown Jackson lack brain processing power isn't racist or misogynistic, because those comments weren't aimed at all black women. Accusing Target of grooming children for having family friendly pride merchandise isn't queerphobic, because he doesn't have a problem with LGBT+ who aren't groomers. Saying Taylor Swift must submit to her husband isn't chauvinistic, he just has traditional beliefs. It's only evidence if he openly says he hates all black and queer people and women are inferior and must therefore be treated as property.

I have too many things to say about this. Charlie Kirk was part of the media. He also spewed far more dangerous accusations about LGBT+ people being groomers.

It also calls for “stringent penalties for social media companies that censor information unfairly.” Obviously calling out content for being bigoted, fascist, or racist won't be protected from censorship, but I assume saying bigoted, fascist, or racist things will.

 

Doesn't this imply that confirmed bigots, fascists, and racists deserve violence?

This feels like a good place to remind everyone that the people who said queer people should allow the genocide in Gaza to go unapposed are now demanding we respect a man who accused us of grooming children.

there are tens of millions of Charlie Kirks

Kinda reminds me of all those videos on YouTube that are like "100 Gokus vs 500 Harry Potters. Who will win?"

He'd probably hate this.

 

Here's the extended quote from Snopes.

"So the new communications strategy for Democrats, now that their polling advantage is collapsing in every single state… collapsing in Ohio. It's collapsing even in Arizona. It is now a race where Blake Masters is in striking distance. Kari Lake is doing very, very well. The new communications strategy is not to do what Bill Clinton used to do, where he would say, "I feel your pain." Instead, it is to say, "You're actually not in pain." So let's just, little, very short clip. Bill Clinton in the 1990s. It was all about empathy and sympathy. I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That's a separate topic for a different time."

How ironic that this person seems to be doing the same thing they're accusing others of doing. Maybe he made the quote twice and elaborated the 2nd time, but I couldn't find any reputable sources for it.

What will be his legacy considering that he isn't so well known outside the UK? Will he be a failed gender neutral toilet, or a hidden gem of a gender neutral toilet?
