inside republican job to spark a civil warSeeing that the old chap in the videos was released and they're still looking for the shooter as it was from distance? There must be some training behind whoever did it
Probably the same, social media is just a paradox. On one hand, it facilitates social connections and good for organising communities (sports teams). On the other, the algorithms are inherently abusive because they farm engagement so people get railroaded into certain narratives. A lot of social scientists have tracked the polarisation of US politics and the advent of social media.Is Bluesky any better? Seems a mirror image?
Tommy's in town? Saturday or Sunday I think?Haven't we got that march in London this weekend too, if anything were to happen during that, I can imagine things would escalate here too.
Bluesky is far far better in terms of your entire feed not being overrun with stuff that is a long way from your interests. I have zero news & politics on my twitter yet get inundated with right wing stuff.Is Bluesky any better? Seems a mirror image?

Even looking at how some convos unfold on here, if people spoke like they did to one another on here as they did in real life, it would kick off. It’s because we’re sat behind screens and there’s no real consequences.
100% it was someone trained. That shot hit his main artery. From the video I saw, looks like there were two shots that hit him in a similar area.Seeing that the old chap in the videos was released and they're still looking for the shooter as it was from distance?

what about if it was by a republican as being reported?Can’t lie but this has left me feeling really numb. It has properly taken me back and stopped me in my tracks.
I’ve followed Charlie Kirk for a number of years now. Don’t agree with everything he says but most of it I do.
One thing you could say about him was that he was always fair and always gave others the chance to voice their opinions. What some people don’t understand is that he got people on both sides of the spectrum talking and certainly wasn’t the bad guy.
A proper family man who advocated as such and my heart breaks for his children, particularly after seeing a video his little girl running up to him in the studio last week.
It’s a dark day for democracy and free speech but it’s good to see others that maybe don’t agree with anything he says being empathetic too. Albeit there are some absolute weapons who are celebrating.
Ironically, if this was committed by a left wing radical, all it will do is unite the right and awaken those that were on the fence. I expect there’ll be massive uproar in the USA over next few days.
Not everyone is aware enough to realise what these platforms are up to. We’ve all let ourselves dive into various rabbit holes on YouTube or whatever.The polarisation is because there are people who want it, social media just amplifies it
Reported where? I haven’t seen anywhere report saying it was a republican (not saying it isn’t true).what about if it was by a republican as being reported?
george zimm utah republicanReported where? I haven’t seen anywhere report saying it was a republican (not saying it isn’t true).
Why would a republican do that?
Because not all "republicans" think the same, some are pretty disgusted at people like Charlie Kirk who they see as far too right wing.Reported where? I haven’t seen anywhere report saying it was a republican (not saying it isn’t true).
Why would a republican do that?
It wasn't him, he's just a nutjob but not that nuttygeorge zimm utah republican
To change the conversation?Why would a republican do that?
I think we’ll need to wait for more info to be released to determine if he was the shooter. It looked like whoever did had military training of some kind.george zimm utah republican

Social media is like alcohol. It exposes what people really are
you can see why he was polarising
you can see why he was polarising
how have i tried to justify it at all you thick prickThe guy has just died mate, shot to bits in front of his wife and young daughters
Try and justify that in the slightest, and you'll look like an evil c**t
how have i tried to justify it at all you thick prick
because you can say someone was polarising and still think they shouldn't have been shotSo it was an irrelevant post then?
Why did you dig something up on him and then call him polarising? Why did you do it?
it was shared on my twitter feed and it adds context to the whole situationSo it was an irrelevant post then?
Why did you dig something up on him and then call him polarising? Why did you do it?
for once i agree with your point Davidbecause you can say someone was polarising and still think they shouldn't have been shot
(too soon?)
"Adds context to the whole situation"it was shared on my twitter feed and it adds context to the whole situation
because you can say someone was polarising and still think they shouldn't have been shot
is that a threat?"Adds context to the whole situation"
You are trying to justify it now. THERE IS NO CONTEXT. He was murdered for his opinions.
There is absolutely no context to find.
Watch what you post
What the fuck are talking about.I heard he drove a red car
The colour of his car is as relevant to this discussion as him being polarising.
He was murdered. It shouldn't matter in the slightest what his views are. Its not relevant
