Don't forget this little fact: On Jan 6th Charlie Kirk bragged that he will bus in 80 busses full of his brainwashed MAGA chodes to reinforce the rioters. -

Destiny is strong on not allowing MAGA to gaslight us more and more. He doesn't allow them to hog the Overton Window. Respect to him for that. MAGA cries for empathy they never had any themselves. Pure hypocrites. -

Over the last few days major MAGA influencers have called for the elimination of the entire Democrat party and the left. I'm tired of this gaslighting. MAGA is fascistic in its psychology and ambitions, even if they aren't exactly WW2 Nazis. They firmly believe the left is evil and they will try to eliminate it if given the chance. This not a hypothetical. -

Seems like the shooter could really be a far-right 4chan groyper. Wow. 4chan is truly a cesspool that needs to be shut down. Like half of all mass shooters originate from there. -
That's literally what liberal means.

There has been a whole movement called Antifa since Trump came to power which is dedicated to opposing the rise of fascism in America. I do not support Antifa, but yes, across the internet there is a deep concern about America losing its democracy and turning into a fascistic state. That danger still looms. We can debate how real that danger is. But as we speak masked ICE agents are grabbing people off the streets based on their race. Trump is sending National Guard into cities for no legal reason. Trump is building his own private military forces. People are rightly concerned about that. Yes, the political enviroment is heated and exaggerated things are said. Is Trump truly a fascist? It's a strech. It's more like a family resemblance. But times like these will have people using exaggerated terms because when the full fascism is here it will be too late to stop it. You cannot just separate what Charlie Krik was doing from our political situation. He was not just some guy with opinions. He was a huge political actor in this situation and people will be pissed. The more fascistic Trump gets the more violent blowback there will be against MAGA. That's how this works, like it or not. -

@Inliytened1 Honestly ask yourself: Was Kirk shot because the shooter heard a leftist calling Kirk a fascist on the internet? Or was Kirk shot because he said bigoted and inflammatory things which offended and outraged the shooter? Who has been stoking the culture war for the last 10 years for viral clicks? -
Leo Gura replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I do not have a problem with that. I literally have political science books on my bookshelf which analyze Trump and MAGA as a fascistic authoritarian movement. Calling someone a fascist does not imply in any way that assassinating them is called for or wanted. I don't even know why I am explaining this. -
Leo Gura replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
The logic is as follows: Imagine if I called Charlie Kirk a racist and then some psychopath shot Kirk with a bullet with "racist" written on it. Does that mean I am now not allowed to call anyone a racist? -

This is false. The engravings are reported accurately. What was walked back is that they are trans ideology. -
Leo Gura replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I know that. My point still stands. -

Fascist is a loose term, analgous to Communist. Right-wingers have no qualms calling the left Communists. Charlie Kirk was not killed for being called a fascist by the left. He was killed because he spouted bigoted views that offended many people for years and years. Eventually you offend enough people with bigotry and one of them will turn to violence against you. Which is why bigotry is wrong. Bigotry doesn't just hurt people, it hurts the bigot too in the end. Charlie Kirk was not killed for speaking truth, he was killed for offending enough people with bigotry that finally one of them went full psycho on him. Is it right? No. But it is predictable and understandable. Free speech does not protect anyone from offending and inflamming psychopaths. Which is why if you speak to millions of viewers you better be careful what vileness you say. Charlie Kirk is responsible for creating this polarized political climate we are in. That was his life's work. -

Evidence?? I have seen nothing conclusive of the sort. -
Leo Gura replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
He was anti fascist it seems. The left is not a cartoon stereotype of blue hair lesbians. People with left views can look like anyone. And they can even love and use guns. This idea that a leftist can never use a gun is silly. There are thousands of leftist marksmen, soldiers, police, military, security, hunters, sportsmen, hobbyists, etc. It only takes 1 out of 300 million. With those odds you can find a two-headed Siamese twin with a grudge against something Charlie Kirk once said. -

Stop with the Mossad conspiracy brain rot. Not everything is about Zionism. -
Leo Gura replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
The sad thing is that most leftist pundits have more empathy for Charlie Kirk's death than Donald Trump does. And yet MAGA are so stupid they actually think Trump has empathy for their own. He doesn't. He doesn't give a fuck that Kirk was killed other than as an opportunity to blame the left and agrandise himself. -
Dude, in Russia everyone here would already be under arrest getting tortured.

A hunter can easily make that shot. He was probably aiming for the head, not the neck. You can go practice that shot out in the woods for a week and you will perfect it. The dude who did it was not so pro. He allowed his face on the cameras. He will definitely be caught now. A pro would have used a much better disguise so his face was fully covered. This guy didn't even wear a covid face mask. Such an oversight. He could have worn a bigger hat and covid mask and wig. Then he would never be found. -

It adds up. Charlie has said so many racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and regressive things, with such aggressive ignorance and arrogance, that out of tens of millions of viewers, one of them is bound to have a mental illness and hold a grudge. What most normies do not understand is that if you have 1+ million YouTube subcribers and you speak on controversial topics, you are guaranteed to get death threats. We all get them. It's only a matter of time until one of them is acted upon. The more hateful things one says, the bigger the odds become. Every hateful or bigoted statement pissed off one extra psycho person who might decide to act out. Also, Charlie was directly involved in getting Trump elected. He wasn't just a pundit, he was the chief MAGA vote recruiter. His entire agenda is putting MAGA in power. Of course some unhinged viewer will want revenge for that. -

"It does not feel right for London or New York City to have Muslim mayors." -- Charlie Kirk So please do not compare this to JFK, MLK, RFK. -
Leo Gura replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
That's fine. But comparing Kirk to JFK, MLK, RFK, Mandela, Jesus, Gandhi, Malcolm X, etc is wrong because those people got killed for their progressive views while Charlie was a tool of establishment, regressive views. Spouting how the Bible says gays should be stoned or how Taylor Swift must submit to her husband is not the assassination of a bold truth-teller. That is regressive, closedminded, conformist slop. Of course free speech still applies to regressive views, but I reject categorizing this as an assassination of a truth-teller. Regardless, his murder is still unacceptable. Imagine if a Nazi got assassinated and his supporters said, "OMG! They killed him for speaking too much truth!" No. Sorry, it was wrong to kill him, but truth had nothing to do with it." Just because one is unfairly killed does not mean one was on the side of truth. -

Be careful. Yes, cruelty exists on the left. But you should consider the cruelty that exists on the right. There is no comparision. The right today is acting like the left are monsters, totally blind to how the right reacts when left-wingers are attacked or killed. The same people outraged the most over this would be laughing if a leftist was murdered. The notion that the right has moral high ground here, or is more empathetic overall, is objectively false, as Kirk himself denounced the value of empathy. Right-wingers only have emapthy for their own, when their own are hurt. MAGA has ruined democracy for years. And now it will continue to worsen. Prominant MAGA today are calling for the end of the entire Democrat party, which had nothing to do with this attack. So don't pretend they care about democracy. MAGA has always been anti-democracy and Charlie Kirk lead that movement. A lone murderous psychopath does not represent the left. But that is exactly what MAGA will push as the narrative, further eroding democracy. We live in highly polarized, radicalized times. There a plenty of psychopaths and lunatics on both sides. Do not overlook that. 98% of both parties are non-violent and the extremeist 1% no one controls. -

The projection, blaming, demonization, us-vs-them, and over-generalizing is gonna be off the rails on the right. Watch for it. These are all unconscious egoic mechanisms to avoid taking any responsibility for anything. -
You are never going to predict if it happens again. The current one seems minor. He might live for another 15 years, or go next year. No way we will predict that.

Holy moly! Finally some law and order. If only we had that in American politics. That's how to preserve democracy. No slaps on the wrist for coups and insurrections.
