We might not live in the best timeline, but we sure live in the funniest one.
(no idea if it's satire, but I appreciate the dedication to the bit, especially when he started stealing merch right after)
This is the dumbest fucking timeline, but the silver lining is that if you’ve got a really dark sense of humor, there are a lot of moments that are deeply hilarious
It feels good to open the news and laugh for once. Every time it's "the world is getting worse" but for ONCE it's "Someone who was making the world worse got what was coming to them"
This is like... how you write the snivelling, untrustworthy, back stabbing, people pleaser, duplicitous 'local guide' archetype/trope character in a movie, with zero subtlety.
Just 110% opportunist.
Fucking wild, man.
E.B. Farnum from Deadwood (the HBO show, anyway. Who knows what he was like in real life?)
I read up on all the real life characters when I finished the show. Apparently the show did him kinda dirty, he was a bit of an intellectual in real life.
Grifters grifting off of a grifters death is grifting 101.
Grifting off grifters is a double negative so all good.
Well, with the kind of scum listening to people like Kirk, this should net be surprising, should it?
Everyone running for their lives like cowards. He however sees the opportunity, steals the merch and asks for subscribers. A true American patriot.
This is about as libertarian as it gets. Free market above all else.
Someday he’ll make an unhinged post on LinkedIn about seizing opportunity in the face of adversity and we’ll be waiting at !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works
American dream. He is a business owner.
he totally owned that merch business
So what does one do with such items? Is there a collector's market for merch sold on the grounds upon whence le charley kirke died like he despicably preached for others not himself?
"It's the tee-shirts and caps from where there was a shooting! Somewhere in 'Murica!"
I think yes. I am pretty sure there is a market for exactly what you just described. I mean, would you be surprised if some right wingnut buys a kirk shirt and places it on his trumpian altar? It doesn't even have to be a cultist. Captain tiny face died in a bombastic way. The morbidity of it could attract collectors.
With a big enough market there will always be buyers. There's like a hundred million of these psychos in the USA, how many shirts and caps was this, a couple dozen? Yeah they'll sell. Just look at that bath water girl or she sold her farts or whatever the fuck it was
Now that you mention it, there was an old shoe repairman in my town, among other knickknacks he had a piggy bank on a shelf, but it was like a bust of JFK, and the coin slot was right where Oswald supposedly "acted alone".
But le charlee kercke is like scraping the bottom of the barrel on that political and cultural scale.
Jesus will protect you
Dude is a comedic genius
His apology video included the line "I loved Charlie Kirk, he taught me things about Jesus that I didn't even know myself"
It's so fucking funny
While everyone else was running away, this man was brave enough to run in (and steal the merch).
It's what Kirk would have wanted
Truly the hero we deserve 🫡🇨🇱
You’re right, definitely a Chilean move. 😅
yesterday was september the 11th
I mean, everyone's paying all their attention to the shooting, nobody's going to worry about the merch until later. Pretty ideal situation for a thief.
What a melt, someone was just shot in the neck and this is your reaction, we're is his sense of shame or even his sense of fear and self preservation, it's kinda of psychopathic
It is entirely psychopathic. But it is also the complete textbook incarnation of the predatory capitalism which Tinyface liked to claim himself a supporter of.
I don't think capitalism is forcibly stealing people's private property and just acting like an idiot for clout and fame, I think stuff like that happens in countries of all economic models throughout history
Regardless I agree it's probably psychopathy to a degree, or maybe he was drunk or on drugs who knows
You're right. Capitalism is when you use your power and resources to get the government to allow you to steal people's private property without force.
I think that's called cronyism which is a specific form of capitalism in which government and business colude to get what's in there best interest and not the citizens, there are forms of capitalism that don't permit such corruption were government are business are more separated
I admittedly think tho we are referring to the USA right now which I think it's a cronyist country especially with the amount of government bottle knecking that exists in the USA
Capitalism encourages it because it dictates profit over everything, it is a completely amoral system only weakly held in check by laws and regulations.
Stuff like that does happen, but in capitalism it's incentivized, because fame is a gateway to cash
I think fame is the gateway too power everywhere really, as the elites in any economic model favour people of influence
That all seems so american to me. In my lifetime i have seen one person fimling himself talking to a camera for a video. It was in a supermarket and when i walked into the isle awkwardly that he was in, he put his phone away.
Yeah admit you don't see it most, only time I see people recording in public is with a tripod and that they are street performers
His sense of shame was hiding behind a misplaced apostrophe.
Satire is dead
Why didn’t the shooter save us and shoot this man too?
