Someone should move that mole from his chin to his neck.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

maybe the gun man was actually aiming for that mole? and missed.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Aiming for his head and missing? Sounds far fetched to me.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 6 months ago

probably a being a good "samaritin" thinking its melanoma.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, shooters are literally taught to aim for center of mass- Like how could they miss his head like that

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 6 months ago

Proof it was a false flag operation imo.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 29 points 6 months ago (3 children)

It's honestly amazing that sniper missed that head.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Too many redundancies. The neck was already overworked.

was aiming for the face but it was too small

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I think he went for the neck on purpose. Skulls are hard. Bullets can graze off. Bullet ain't grazing off a neck.

[–] Duit@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Man, I was really hoping that some small town newspaper would mistakenly use this as his eulogy photo.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

because both israeli and russians have nazis in thier ranks, at least russia has literal russian neo nazis.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 months ago

Both are governed by fascists. There's no incongruity at all.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 months ago

Fascists sponsored by a couple of fascist regimes. Shocker.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (5 children)

We really shouldn't platform dead Nazis.

[–] s@piefed.world 39 points 6 months ago

Dead fascists should be platformed the Mussolini way 🙃

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 6 months ago

Why not? They are the only good Nazis.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Define platforming & explain how we're doing that.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

"Platforming" the way the left uses it generally means "I don't want to see anything that worries or upsets me so I can stay in this safe-space ideological bubble, and it gives me something to form an intellectual argument about and feel like I'm doing something for our side even if it's just pointlessly policing what people say or post."

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure all the people on fucking LEMMY are going to see this meme and say "HMNN MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK INTO WHAT THIS KIRK GUY WAS ALL ABOUT" jfc

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Any attention is more than he deserves.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The guy is being elevated to sainthood by the right, he was likely the leading contender for upcoming republican presidential elections. It's very worth making and distributing memes making fun of his "legacy." If you ignore people you don't like, they tend to end up with a lot of power and taking away your rights.

My only complaint is it's being posted on Lemmy, which is preaching to the choir. It should be "platformed" on much larger social media sites.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

He's being elevated to sainthood to "own the libs". The more people make fun of him, the higher he will rise in their eyes. If no one cared about him at all, he wouldn't have had more than a week in the news cycle.

If you want to really mess with his "legacy", use his death to promote gun control. Not as a joke, but seriously. That would be infinitely more effective than any meme.

Zionism and Nazism are the same ideology the only difference is their choice of scapegoat

[–] s@piefed.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Please get real, calling Israel a genocidal country is like calling the United States a genocidal country

[–] resting_parrot@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago

No, in the sense that both countries have committed genocide.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

It is 100% accurate.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They're fascists.

People just call them Nazis because Nazis are the most recent, prominent example of fascists most people are aware of.

They act like Nazis, because they're fascists, and so were Nazis.

To be clear, all fascists should meet the same end as Nazis.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

They usually do meet the end the Nazis did. That's why I don't understand the appeal.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 5 points 6 months ago

...from beyond the grave, my stomach still wrenches...

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

That's the normal size.
