I think most of the west is about ready to explode.
America is about to go off I expect.
Trump getting shot, Kirk getting shot. The bizarre media response to the murder of the Ukranian lady. Amongst many other things.
In all seriousness the best way to describe it is like a pressure cooker. I am honestly expecting a massive reaction to this.
Didn’t have you as naiveWhat lead to him getting shot cold blooded at an event? What deranged fucking weirdo would think to do that, should we not be able to have free speech
it’s all very oddNow being reported the chap arrested wasn't the shooter and he / she may still be on the loose.
I think the media trying to bury that story should be a real eye opener for everyone. No one would know if it wasn't for social media, it's genuinely horrific and you have to wonder what they wanted to gain from burying it.America is about to go off I expect.

Yeah it’s utterly insane, sad and depressing.No member of the public should need to own a gun, it's a fucked up country that will never change no matter who sits in the white house, even as they watch their friends get shot and their primary age children have to know what to do if a lunatic enters their school intent on mass murder.
I feel like social media is a huge part of the reason society appears to be declining
Schools in the UK have fire drills, schools in the US have mass shooter drills.There have been almost 50 school shootings in the US so far this year.
It's a sad state of affairs when this incident has attracted more condemnation from some quarters than all of those school shootings put together.
republican apparentlyprobably from the same group that tried to kill trump
Absolute lunaticrepublican apparently
Yes it's almost like someone's political views don't necessarily make them good or bad people.Tbh we all have our difference in opinions but it’s good to see some decency and empathy for a change
Well I mean you said I don’t have a meaningful life just because I disagreed with youYes it's almost like someone's political views don't necessarily make them good or bad people.
From the close up I saw, looked like main artery. I thought he would be dead but some murmurings on X that he’s still aliveFucking hell I've just seen the footage. Would be almost unbelievable to survive that.
It's the world we live in and instead of helping people, or showing compassion, the first thought in many people's minds is to whip out their phones and film it, so they can stick it up on social media.Horrific. America seems well and truly fucked and the rest of the world seems to be racing to catch up.
This is it in a nutshell isn't it. Within literally seconds of any event happening, affecting left or right, people are politicising and trying to make gains from it without a second thought for the victim(s) or their friends & family. People desperate to get explicit and disturbing footage online as fast as possible anywhere they can to whip up outrage while they seek to place blame.
What is the endgame here because the way they're pushing it will end up in a literal civil war. You can't just assume it's a 'civilised' society and therefore can't end up in a state of never ending conflict we see elsewhere.
Lots of stuff spiralling round, I think most of it is speculative. Can't believe anything anymore. Maybe tomorrow.Now being reported the chap arrested wasn't the shooter and he / she may still be on the loose.
Oh FFSHopefully gets a public execution, like that waste of fucking oxygen that killed that Ukrainian woman. Time to start showing these people up

Do some researchThat’s a shame, stuff like that would go far in getting justice for victims like this and putting a message out there
Gives me a small insight into what X and similar sites must be like. Echo chambers for different sides of the political divide, each creating safe spaces and fuelling confirmation bias to demonise the other side.
Then it spills over to a place like this and, well, see what happens.
It’s this kind of [inaccurate] rhetoric that has justified violence against people on the right.He's a neo-Nazi.
Which just goes to show how fucked up the place is.There's going to be big problems regardless , such a complex country .
I agree they should be banned , but the pushback would be insane
He is talking about Nick Fuentes not KirkIt’s this kind of [inaccurate] rhetoric that has justified violence against people on the right.
Stop conflating ordinary conservatives as ‘neo-Nazi’. John McDonnell called Reform a ‘proto-fascist’ party and it’s the sign of a proper moron.
Yes likewise.I am friends with people who believe all sorts of things , some right wing things , some left wing things , some people who like to sit on the fence .
I generally dont let their political views effect my relationship with them .. because away from that we have very much in common , such as sports , families , general life etc
Exactly. I would very much describe me as left leaning and wannabe socialist, but I have friends from across the spectrum. It's all about respect at the end of the day.I am friends with people who believe all sorts of things , some right wing things , some left wing things , some people who like to sit on the fence .

Nick Fuentes just is one MMB. Kirk isn't.It’s this kind of [inaccurate] rhetoric that has justified violence against people on the right.

Exactly, people more concerned about blaming 'the other side' be that the left or the right. And some desperate desire to post who the shooter is or some other information.It's the world we live in and instead of helping people, or showing compassion, the first thought in many people's minds is to whip out their phones and film it, so they can stick it up on social media.
My bad, as soon as I posted the thought crossed that you/others weren’t talking about Charlie Kirk!Nick Fuentes just is one MMB. Kirk isn't.
Trump wasn’t shotAmerica is about to go off I expect.
Trump getting shot, Kirk getting shot. The bizarre media response to the murder of the Ukranian lady. Amongst many other things.
