Charlie Kirk Shot (15 Viewers)

[Sick Boy]

Thought I'd chime in as I've watched a few clips of him recently.

The standout ones from what I've seen literally within the past 8 hours is he said that George Floyd died of a Fentanyl overdose not by being kneeled on for 10 minutes, why male suicide is increasing is because males are becoming more effeminate, that gun-related deaths have to be accepted if the Second Amendment is to be preserved etc, that if his daughter was raped that in line with his pro-life views said baby would be delivered.

The list could genuinely go on. His views were completely batshit.

It shows how culturally different the USA is compared to the UK. Anyone coming up with that stuff wouldn't be given the time of day.

The left are as much complicit in the escalating culture war as the right are.

The point scoring epidemic is largely fuelling that.

You only have to look at posts on X where individuals are now intensely dissecting every clip, video and social post Kirk ever put out to try and somehow justify that the public execution of a man was somehow warranted, which is a baffling and objectively evil viewpoint.

It shouldn't take a genius to figure out his views on topics such as systematic racism, geopolitics, Trump, pro-life vs pro-choice, and even religion etc. largely weren't acceptable or even correct - just to touch on the latter he was genuinely factually wrong most of the time and when he put his head above the parapet and debated people which were quite clearly intellectually superior than he was, it was a pretty humbling experience for him put it that way. But he had the right to express and share his views regardless without the threat or act of violence.

But yeah, I do think language and rhetoric has become a catalyst to driving a sizeable wedge between both ends of the spectrum and it's gone unchecked for too long.

It's the medium they choose to amplify their beliefs,if it 30-40 year's back he'd of got ignored in the local boozer shouting at the wind and making no headway at all, it's like that Waco church thing where they took a lot of People out

Bit of a strange one considering that the West spent a good 45 years after WW2 engaged in proxy conflicts with either the USSR or China and was on the brink of nuclear war with the Soviets more than once. Agree it does need looking at.

Or a proxy one in Israel.

Or a proxy one in Israel.

Was that to do with communism?

There's only one side of politics that wants to permanently shut down opposing voices, and crush freedom of speech, and its the side that reports to practice tolerance and acceptance!!!

Mate, come on! Universities are being threatened by Trump and co., the press is undermined constantly, and Kirk himself had two projects with the expressed aim of getting people who disagreed with him fired, and that's me thinking about it for about a minute.

Discourse from loads of political POVs is poisonous with no focus on solving issues that affect people's quality of life. It's an outrage arms race that all 'sides' of the argument perpetuate, and I'm sad that there's no leaders anywhere I see making this point.

No, just a property deal.

Tbf there are 2 sides to the coin. On the far left, you have a plethora of people who are confused about their own identity and do not have the ability to articulate their feelings and therefore lash out at anyone who's not a minority. Then you have the far right, who embrace who they are and lash out at anyone who's different. Its a lovely world

I mean you say that, I've lost count of how many rabid homophobes on the right turned out to be in the closet themselves while being in so much denial over their own sexuality. Just like the current crusade by some against pornography when you can be sure they've all got their own stash hidden away.

That's very true as well

 

[David O'Day]

Its funny how the political left preach tolerance etc, but are incredibly quick to cancel anyone who has a different political outlook, and if they cant cancel they'll imprison, and if that doesn't work they'll shoot the fuckers!!!

2 unsuccessful assassination attempts on president Trump (so far) and now the murder of a young family man who was More than willing to peacefully debate anyone at anytime.

No assassination attempts on president Biden though, strange that???

Sounds like his dad told him off and brought him in, not up there with the Boston guy hiding in a boat.

Laurence Fox and his mate Calvin Robinson are prime examples of that.

Yeah but he's probably got 3wives and counting, maybe that's the difference here!
Too much too soon!

and here's one of best and brightest really setting the tone. How the f*ck can you be that intelligent and that thick at the same time, FFS!

Oxford Union condemns president-elect's reported Charlie Kirk posts

Student George Abaraonye posted on social media after news of the shooting broke, seeming to welcome the attack, according to media reports.

www.bbc.co.uk

Actually, he got grades ABB which would not usually be enough to get into a top university like Oxford. Questions being asked now of how he obtained a place.

So, while probably more intelligent than the average person, he’s definitely not one of the best and brightest.

Depending on the subject he applied for and the school he attended it would quite possibly be fine to get ABB.

But why are you digging into the A-Level results of a uni student who said something dumb?

Almost as many incorrect comments and deflections as we have seen from some on here.

There is a reason the other thread has gone stone silent.

He's also wrong that nobody tried to kill Biden. At least two attempts were halted before the perpetrator got the opportunity

So i see the shooter is a Straight White Male, raised in a republican family, son of a sheriff and introduced to guns as a child. Interesting

I can see America sliding into something similar to the Years of Lead in Italy at this rate.

Public execution, eye for an eye after what happened to Charlie.

 

[rondog1973]

There is a massive lack of knowledge in terms of the atrocities communist regimes have actually committed throughout history i.e. under Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot.

There are leftists which will proudly call themselves commies to be edgy.

Very much doubt you'll find those on the right donning the fascist label so freely.

Didn't lefty (Socialist) Orwell forewarn of totalitarian regimes created by the 3 names above?

Think the only democratically elected Marxist government was in Chile. Overthrown with CIA backing in General Pinochet's military coup.

Assuming the information emerging about him is correct it once again shows why none of us should jump to conclusions in the immediate aftermath of an event like this.

Orwell was opposed to totalitarianism regardless of which flavour it was.

I didn’t go looking for it, to be fair. What are you trying to imply?

And my point was in response to the OP saying he was among the best and most intelligent, which give his A Level grades, is probably false.

As much as this bloke is harping on during the interview, he did just say something profound. Turn off the social media go out and touch the grass and hug a family member.

 

[rondog1973]

That's the point I'm putting across. It's not communist doctrine to kill all who oppose, not that I am or support communism.

Fascism will always marginalise minorities in any given state due to its ultra-nationalist, ethnic majority bias.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yes a white male from Utah

So nothing he deserved to be murderd for then?
