Charlie has so many videos saying "release the Epstein files" that I'm suprise Lefty's aren't capitalizing on them. Plus so many others where he says things that can be clipped. Like think of the collecting rrrreeeeeeeeeee from these fucks if Lefty's were posting pro gun clips of him under all their fake empathy posts
I am seeing a huge amount of that on Lemmy and Mastodon.
Right, so the end result is what?
We're watching the world slip further and further into the opinion that Charlie Kirk was a good man. There's no resistance to anything they say anymore because we're all on Lemmy and mastodon where nobody but us are.
No matter what Kirk is going to be saintwashed by the right. Don’t forget that they will always build their preferred reality around themselves. I get your frustration but it’s important to remember that nothing you say will ever change a rightists mind. God itself could appear in the sky and tell off every evil, self-centered, delusional rightist to their face and they would still find a way to ignore it. Speech doesn’t work on rightists. Logic doesn’t work on rightists. Hard evidence doesn’t work on rightists.
This is why all the leftists on Lemmy are calling for impactful forms of protest. Until we get in the streets and shut everything down and impact their lives and livelihoods and stock prices nobody is going to negotiate. Power is all they recognize, and they are going to do everything they can to make sure we don’t have any.
You think that all of the leftists are on Lemmy and Mastodon? I wish.
No I think most left all social spaces but a few that left ended up here.
Leftists might try to capitalize on Epstein.
But liberals aren't leftists. The liberal establishment won't promote the Epstein story because liberals are also deeply implicated.
Similarly liberals collaborate with fascists. They're not going to be trolling them. They're going to be memorializing kirk and calling for "civility" or whatever the fuck. NPR did like a full day of Kirk memorialization.
So yes, libs are less than worthless. But that has nothing to do with leftism.
I just want to say you're a problem. I view you the same way I view Charlie Kirk
Do you have a link to one of those videos? I have someone I might be able to make go against Trump via a different conspiracy with that, since that's their main issue with Trump now
Here is a video from his own site
