Be patient.

It takes much longer to burn down a country than a Dairy Queen.

Oh neat. He blocked me because I didn't get upset at him for gloating about fucking with trans peoples' passports.
September 20, 2025 at 4:41 PM
You're right. No way anyone working for this administration would be willing to lie in court.
September 17, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Nah, that's just not true.

The delay on the exposure would be long enough that the truth coming out wouldn't matter, and fucking up the prosecution is a nonconcern because none of them care about Charlie Kirk or punishing his killer.

I'm very online but I seem to have missed a step, here.
September 17, 2025 at 11:12 PM
Probably someone would have stepped in and saved me, if it came to that.

But that's because I've got people to save me.
September 16, 2025 at 9:13 PM
And I was fortunate enough not to lose anyone close to me.

If I had lost somebody, and I was being confronted every day with minimization, denial, or even celebration of that death?

I dunno. I was feeling pretty sick already. I might have started looking for someone to take it out on.
September 16, 2025 at 9:11 PM
So each of us better do our best to look out for our own friends and family, because no one else is gonna do it.

But then, I have pretty lefty friends and family who seldom engage in wanton celebration of death and violence.

Robinson said his family was hardcore MAGA, so not so much so for him.

Watching... well, millions really, die of Covid for... nothing. For a few bucks and a political narrative... that was a real eye opener.

I kind of got a different message out of it, right? All the people who are supposed to be in charge, who are supposed to keep everyone safe? They won't.
September 16, 2025 at 9:08 PM
Their solution to this conundrum mostly seems to be to try to hurt those people.
September 16, 2025 at 8:20 PM
Sometimes you sort of pick up on a resentment about it.

They've got the fawning adoration of millions of people they hold in utter contempt, and it can not make them happy, because what they want is recognition and respect from the people who easily see through their shit.

When someone gets mad and kills a guy about it, the nature of reality dictates it be a specific guy.
September 16, 2025 at 8:06 PM
The whole "Bella Ciao" thing on its own would seem like a really strong explainer.

But in the larger context of Robinson's utter incoherence, it might not really mean anything.
September 16, 2025 at 8:05 PM
In that mindset... A guy makes you mad, so you kill him.

It's not hard to understand.

Doesn't have to be anything more than that.
September 16, 2025 at 8:04 PM
It's the behavior that a million people have described as "having a punchable face."

Well, take that feeling, plus the whole black pilled "Everything is terrible, hope does not exist, there is only cruelty by unaccountable forces and death." mindset.
September 16, 2025 at 8:04 PM
Kirk was an ass.

All this media glazing about how he loved friendly debate is a lie, and I'm not the first person to point out they make sure to isolate that narrative from clips of Kirk "Debating."

He talked over people, he was smug about it, he gloated about the suffering of others.
September 16, 2025 at 8:02 PM
I don't think its a coincidence that the really virulent racism mostly originates from economic dead zones.
September 16, 2025 at 5:37 PM
The world's more cosmopolitan now.

Maybe travel isn't necessary, maybe these people just need to get fucking jobs.

The scary immigrants taking our jobs stop being so scary when they're your coworkers.

Then its just, y'know... some are terrific, some are lazy shits, same as everyone else.
September 16, 2025 at 5:36 PM
Probably nobody benefits.

Fascists are stupid.
September 16, 2025 at 5:41 AM
Ah, I haven't seen someone with such a shallow thought process laud themselves for how deep they think they are in a bit.
September 16, 2025 at 5:40 AM
On the entire planet there are like... two people who feel a little bit bad about what happened to Kirk and both of them are far left.

The right is uniformly excited about his death.
September 16, 2025 at 5:32 AM
All Republicans are both cruel and stupid.

Too cruel to care that others will be harmed.

Too stupid to understand they might be among those harmed.
September 16, 2025 at 5:28 AM
This is genuinely the most unhinged thing.

Not trans porn in and of itself.

I mean sexual obsession with a group you hate.

The wrongness of the right wing is profound.
September 16, 2025 at 5:26 AM
You made up all those cool stories, and I want to hear 'em, but that damn illiteracy of yours keeps getting in the way.
September 16, 2025 at 1:35 AM
That's so vague.

C'mon. Tell me about the scary monsters you fought.
