Official Defies GOP Governor's Order To Fly Flags At Half Staff For Charlie Kirk
He said he did not want to honor a man "who did so much to harm not only the marginalized, but also to degrade the fabric of our body politic."

The truly, truly strange thing about Kirk is that I have not seen his supporters quote one statement by him that illustrates his supposed nobility of character.

it’s like Baby’s First Habermas without any further reflection
These people have smarted themselves into the dumbest fucking arguments.
Determining whether someone is "doing politics the right way" depends almost entirely on the content of their speech! If someone lies constantly and endorses authoritarians that's not practicing good politics.

Did anyone publish a novel last year about how the internet itself is an accelerator for mental illness & stochastic terror that works not just across ideological lines but as an active solvent of said lines, maybe presented in a slightly oblique way like idk a fake celebrity memoir? asking 4 friend
