Yes, I can feel the reverberation of the collective right wing prayer still pulsating beneath my feet. Their prayers for revenge will bring in much light. 

Feel deeper, past the surface noise. The light is overwhelming.

The fatal flaw of the fascist worldview is that it foolishly overlooks that the violence it glorifies will boomerang on the fascist.

Charlie Kirk didn't glorify violence at all... What are you talking about?

[Joshe]

This assassination came at what seems to be a very, very opportune time for galvanizing political support. From the looks of it, social media has been ablaze with highly sophisticated and stealthy "civil war" propaganda for the last 2 weeks at least. And this propaganda has been pitting whites against blacks, which basically translates to left vs right.

It could just be a coincidence, but the younger generation social media sphere has been full of "black fatigue", which there is some truth to, but at the same time could be seen as a repackaging of racism made palatable for moderates.

Milions of people that shed tears today, knowingly or unknowingly have been touched by the light of grace. This light will transform the world. 

I know the effect this event had on me and I know I'm not the only one. And it's not one of revenge, it's one of inspiration and expansion of the heart. It's happening worldwide...

There's a bit of revenge in the air also tho. That's true. But it will get consumed by the light eventually. The pearls of light is what counts in the end.

He was nuanced about it. He marginalized certain classes and groups. Classic "treat marginalized people as subhumans, let the rest play out as it may" rhetoric.

If you're not preaching peace, love, and unity, then you're giving way towards violence. This is what extremists do, and as Leo said, they fall victim to their own system that they're running.

Just as bad, if not worse than what Charlie stood for. Those that are pointing out Mr Kirk's beliefs as justification for a heinous cowardly crime is just as bad as the perpetrator, if not worse because you're hiding behind a computer screen while Charlie did his in public. At least, he didn't hide his evil. You are justifying yours. None of you are any better than the monster you're pointing at.

Ok, this is fucking weird. Go watch Trump's oval office Kirk address on Twitter and slow the video speed to the lowest setting, and watch Trump's hands starting at the 14 second mark. It appears that his pinky finger disappears when he moves his hand.

I suppose it could be an optical illusion or something but IDK. Any thoughts? 

Pinky disappears and whole hand deforms, which is a common problem with AI video:

I'm looking up some of the more extreme views and I'm not finding any direct quotes. A lot of these other supposed quotes/beliefs aren't "vile" in any way. You know what's vile? Not letting people have any opinion they'd like to have, as long as it doesn't involve threats, because if we limit people's viewpoints and honest opinions, we don't give them a chance to realize if or when they're wrong in order to learn from it.

Princess Arabia and carterfelder I am really unmoved by what you said, for the record. You both lashed out at me like me pointing out all the fucked up shit he said means "yes he deserved to die". Saying I congratulated and cheered on the killer is just not a thing that I did nor what I think about the situation.

I am not "happy" he died. But say the type of shit he said you might just get killed. Would I go kill anyone for saying this shit? No. But there's millions of guns and millions of unstable people in the country - if you say THAT KIND OF INSANE RHETORIC all the time, someone might just take you out.

Strange how me just asserting and pointing out the insane shit he said and saying "yea some people might kill you if you say that shit" makes you lash out personally at me. We live in the natural world at the end of the day, we are not all wearing body armor all day that makes our flesh impenetrable to bullets - if you say insanely antagonistic shit, all the time, ALL THE FUCKING TIME, someone might just take you out. Is what it is.

It's probably artifacting from the quick motion.

That was my initial thought, but after downloading and slowing the video down even further, the pinky disappears in a single frame and in that same frame, the entire hand deforms.

The shooter made a perfect kill with one shot at a long distance and still managed to get away.  It makes me wonder whether he was a professional sniper with military training.   

Trump blamed this on the left.  But it’s time to start asking if it wasn’t Trump himself who ordered the assassination.   Adolf Hitler used Horst Wessel in his propaganda.  Wessel, who was killed in a street fight with communists, was a central figure in the Nazi cult of martyrs.    Trump now has Charlie Kirk. Trump is the one person who clearly benefits from this assassination.  This diverts attention from the Epstein files and gives him a pretext to take further consolidate power.

Did you yourself watch the footage? How did you handle it and how did it affect you?

It reminded me of JFK assassination

I don't understand how bulletproof glass boxes for political discourses was never a thing in USA. A gap in the market.

A rather traumatizing event for those present.

It definitely shouldn't be ruled out. IMO, it's still too early to lean too far into professional hit. It could still just be a competent college kid or Kirk hater who pulled it off. They do exist and It's the simplest explanation. If they don't come up with any answers at all, it will most likely be a professional hitjob. If it's a lone wolf, they should be able to catch him soon since I'm sure that campus had surveillance out the wazoo, so they should be able to track down his movements and getaway vehicle, getaway route, etc, just like with Luigi. An ordinary person, even if highly intelligence and competent, would have a very hard time evading capture.

Looks like a young lone wolf to me. Is this what Groypers look like?

This dude is completely brain rotted. His entire business is built on delusional self belief so of course that ends up coming at the expense of his world view and higher collective thinking.
