Joe Biden has out lived Charlie Kirk.

Wait... Did I miss something? Is Charlie Kirk dead?

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 48 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

His last word was "violence". 🤣

I'm now up to speed. I don't know if the shooter was listening but their timing was impeccable. He was asked a question about mass shootings/gun violence and his response was to try and get racist about it by saying something about "gang voilence". Then he got popped.

One of those rare moments where someone who spreads hate gets it shoved back in their face, almost literally.

I would be very surprised if there wasn't a scope

Dead as disco.

Our country is so broken. Actually, make that the planet.

  • Pedophiles being protected
  • People starving in Palestine
  • Cops getting away with violence and DUIs
  • Supreme Court ruling it’s okay to racially profile us.
  • Tax cuts for the rich
  • Unregulated capitalism
  • Failed Pentagon audits for 7 years
  • Food and Bills getting more expensive
  • shootings everyday
  • Data centers for Cloud and AI overloading the grids and clean energy generators are cut when need is high.

People are going hungry, uneducated, and unhealthy. But no one cares enough to really invest into the human race and unite. They’re all just selfish and greedy and hateful.

Not it's still mostly the US. Although my country (Germany) seems hellbent on following soon, so maybe the US is just ahead of the stupidity curve.

Not every country is like this. I’m actively planning to move to a county that isn’t.

The man is responsible for a shocking amount of harm

Can I get a Recap? Ik he had controversial views but did he actually have any effect on anything?

[–] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 25 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

He founded Turning Point USA, which did a whole heck of a lot of bad things, not to mention that his rhetoric actively radicalized many people, who will then perpetuate much more harm.

For example, he advocated against abortion even in cases of rape, which then helped push people to support local legislation against abortion in all cases, which is then correlated with an increase in deaths during and just after pregnancy.

He actively spread COVID misinformation that led to many people not getting vaccinated, which likely killed some of those unlucky, and he actively perpetuated anti-immigrant rhetoric that likely played at least some part in the violence directed toward them.

This doesn't even begin to get into his anti-queer views, the fact TPUSA was influential in growing Trump's campaign and popularity, his support for Israel's genocide, or any of the knock-on effects caused from the people he himself radicalized.

So yes, he most definitely had an effect.

Thank you for the refresher.

One actual effect so far was getting racist history revisionism mandated in some states children’s schools to replace the history of slavery in America.

My girlfriend and I had a really great day making fun of this piece of shit. Good to see that bad things still happen to these roaches.

[–] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 18 points 21 hours ago

They sure did today

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 22 hours ago

There's two sides to every coin, yeah? 🤷

[–] FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

He didn’t mean his life specifically.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

One would refer to that as "tone deaf"
