The 'left' doesn't worship politicians like gods. I would honestly be indifferent if 90% of the Democratic establishment got wiped out.

The fact that they're frothing at the mouth without any actual evidence of the shooters ideology is all you need to know about their intentions.

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Right? That guy needs to chill out. Charlie Kirk was worth no more, and probably even less, than any of the other hundreds of people that die any and every day from gun violence. People on the Right have literally just discovered what America is all about, I guess?

lol

Definitely wasn't as much of a tragedy as the kids who died the same day in Colorado.

Wasn't the Reichstag fire a false flag?

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 82 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the ~~Jews~~ Communists, then used it as an excuse to start rounding them up.

[–] JohnSwanFromTheLough@lemmy.world 51 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They blamed the communists for the fire.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 8 points 5 days ago

You're right, my bad !

Short answer: Yes

But we live in a time where history is rewritten daily. Hitler was a socialist - bullshit for example.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

People were also conflating Hitler as a socialist then.

The whole point of that was to discredit actual socialism. It wasn't socialism to them, but a dog whistle for nationalism.

It would have been more accurate to call that the National nationalist party.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Hitler was a socialist... so as long you were wealthy, ayran, and loyal. Eveyone else got brutal totalitarism and capitalism while fed to a war machine to keep the lie going.

They are so fucking stupid. They don’t understand what the historical events mean. They don’t understand who the villain is in Star Wars. It’s all fucking bizarro world in their minds.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

StarWars is fucked. You have the religious extremists known as "Jedi". They travel around, engaging in galaxy wide human trafficking and kidnapping.

So they can get their hands on kids and start training them as child soldiers to create obedient, dogmatic super soldiers.

I'm not saying they're the only villains. But they are definatly not the "good guys"

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The real trick to Star wars is knowing every side is evil.

Just ones realistically evil and the other is cartoonishly evil.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 7 points 5 days ago

idk man the past ten years have really given me new limits on what counts as "cartoonish"

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 5 days ago

THEY THINK they are punisher, and superman.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 69 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Go ahead and ban the party. We'll make a new one. Name it the FUCK CHARLIE KIRK Party.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 55 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Kirk WAS left leaning when he died.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 24 points 6 days ago

Holy shit that's fucking brutal

Did trump have kirk assassinated to distract from the epstein shit? As they always say on the right, I'm just asking questions...

You know my high ass thought of something.

There’s a loneliness epidemic and at the same time the biggest spread of hatred I have ever seen in my lifetime.

A bunch of men feel sad, alone, and hatred. That makes me sad.

All while being conned by the billionaire class.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Turns out social media was a poor replacement t for community spaces.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Since it turned out it was a Republican that killed him. Are they gonna do the same now?

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 37 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I didn't even realize the right new what stochastic terrorism was. If they did I assumed they wouldn't talk about it considering how often they engage in it

Most of them are christians they are well versed in hypocrisy.

[–] KeavesSharpi@lemmy.ml 17 points 6 days ago

I didn’t even realize the right new what stochastic terrorism was.

Obviously considering the context, they don't. An assassination isn't stochastic terrorism, and nobody on the left is calling for violence. That's them. So the accusation is a confession in this case. This post is literally stochastic terrorism, and a call for violence.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Ironic that this very statement from them contains a hefty handful of it.

I don't think anyone is afraid of Meal Team Six.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

Those J6 "rioters" were some dumb motherfuckers. Too bad they got a gift of little to no punishment. In fact, I think the shooter was one of them, that was let out by Trump (not really, but that'd be something). Soft on crime, hard on minorities Trump.

So they’re basically admitting they’re Nazis looking for a reason to genocide liberals

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

I mean they were mask-off when they tried to lynch politicians and storm the seat of government.

So they’re admitting they’re the NAZIS and will use the shooting as a false flag to attack the left even knowing that the shooter came from a MAGA family and was probably a right winger himself?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 28 points 6 days ago

And at the very least, covering for pedophiles.

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago

Honor Charlie Krik by doing what he requested - RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

[–] don@lemmy.ca 20 points 6 days ago (3 children)

We killed Nazis before, targets, you’ll be no different.

Classic abusive "look at what you made me do!" rhetoric.

I also think that wanting to kill half the population is a bit of an overreaction. Especially so, since they're already ahead in the kill count.

[–] SparroHawc@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why would the Reichstag fire and the Night of Long Knives be where you go first??

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I for one did Nazi that coming.

Matt Forney is already a well-known Nazi. He has his own ADL entry.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Bruh doesn't know what the night of long knives was... I bet he thinks its when nazis hunted down communists lol

It's rich seeing someone on the right say this is the result of stochastic terrorism. Stochastic terrorism has been Trump and MAGA's thing since 2016.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

I'm legitimately scared of what the Right's going to do now that Charlie Kirk's death has kicked their ant hill

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Does this guy have any public speaking engagements coming up?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

do these people know what RICO is? kirk was also on about files, trump cant have one of thier major propaganda talking heads , speaking the contrary
