"SUCK MY BARREL JERRY!" - Random British infantry unit in one of the Company of Heroes games.
In Australian accent:
Fuck off, ya dick-heads!
Day of Infamy
Well well well, the freedom of speech people are censoring speech. What a shock.........
Fuck Charlie Kirk and Fuck Trump.
IT'S TIME TO RETALIATE.
For every non-fascist they get fired, we need to get 10 fascists fired.
Saying good riddance to fascists isn't "distasteful;" it's a moral imperative. J.D. Vance's words are obscene.
This is not "inch[ing] closer" to McCarthyism; this is taking a flying leap towards it. They are openly calling for war against all non-fascists. Believe them. They are coming to destroy us all, and we have to defend ourselves.
They have to LOSE and it has to happen by any means necessary.
Fuck. My crazy sister in law is going to try to get my wife and I fired now for not suitably respecting the asshole isn't she...
My brother got mad when I called Kirk an asshole after he text me with the "sad news"
The conversation with my brother via text.
Him: Charlie Kirk was killed today ....sad
Me: Not how I see it.
Him He had a family he had two children
Me: Idc he was an asshole who said gay people should get the death plenty. I don't want talk about it. You forgot I am not rightwinger.
Him I feel sorry for you
Me Don't your the one following hate mongers. It has to be exhausting. Wishing death on people is very unchristian. You should know that.
He didn't respond anymore after that. Hopefully he doesn't try to get me canceled. It's unfortunate that my brother got suck into the Maga movement by our father. (He was always sensitive and easy to manipulate) But he isn't a vindictive person so I should be fine. But my dad I just hope you didn't tell him my feelings.
To be fair, I'm pretty mad at what you said, too. Specifically, I'm upset that you weren't explicit and emphatic enough in expressing contempt for Kirk and satisfaction at his demise.
Your brother and your dad both deserve to be berated incessantly for their hatefulness. You're worried about retaliation from them? They ought to be worried about retaliation from you!
Sorry I hate my dad, but sadly I love my brother even though he is misguided. Again he is easily manipulatied. If I could get him alone for week and have his Tik Tok algorithm turned to the left, I could turn him into a socialist in no time.
But unfortunately he spends more time around our father and watch Faux news and I seen his Tik Tok feed its bad.
Try to get her fired then.
She's already unemployed, afaik.
Then go after her landlord. Or her friends.
Every fascist deserves to be ostracized fully from society.
She is a heroine addict with borderline personality disorder and she's super verbally abusive to her boyfriend, has even had him arrested by goading him into saying something which she recorded and shared with the cops and they are still together like 8 years in. Anyone that's still in her sphere is pretty much bullet proof at this point. Oh and she owns her home because she previously made good money as director of a sober living nonprofit (no joke, you can't make this shit up) and get boyfriend pays her mortgage. She's a psycho with nothing to lose.
Ironically Charlie Kirk wouldn't have even supported this.
I hate the guy and am glad he's gone, but the last thing that guy wanted to do was affect free speech. That was his meal ticket.
Nah, it's 'free speech for Nazi scum like himself, not for anyone else.
I mean I agree he was Nazi scum.
But his whole schtick was generating anger in front of live audiences. They eat it up.
So I disagree. Kirk was a piece of shit but I don't recall him ever calling foul on someone saying something mean.
Without people able to walk up to him and debate freely, he wouldn't get his entire schtick.
This is just wild ignorance or revisionist history. Turning Point USA had professor watchlists where students could report professors with “leftist” views and then TP’s supporters could send the professors death threats https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/sep/17/turning-point-usa-professor-watchlist
TIL
My stance is with regard to his debates being far more in good faith than the likes of Shapiro, Peterson, or any other alleged 1st amendment defending debaters.
I do not support most any of his stances but the right to open public discourse.
But if there's evidence to the contrary im not here to defend it. Just stating my experience with his brand/id
And that stance is silly, the whole point of his debates is so they can get edited into misleading "best ofs" and the like. It's the same shit Shapiro and Peterson do
Correct. They do not happen at all without free speech. That is my point which you've clearly missed.
First picture of Charlie's headstone has been released!
“Joins”? They fucking orchestrated it.
Another violation of the First Amendment by the trump regime.
For the Americans it's bye bye 1st Amendment. Land of the free is no more. This will spark world wide control of free speech, all world's wannabe dictators will do the same if not worst. Welcome to new world order where "big" and "strong" dictators will rule without any checks. This is The "third crisis" in modern world.
Any part of the Constitution at this point that has to do with rights or liberties, except the 2nd Amendment (for now) of course, is pretty much out the window. The Constitution is just an inconvenient old piece of paper at this point. All those “Constitutionalists” have gone completely silent.
The 2nd Amendment exists for when all the other Amendments fail.
It's "The Land of the Formerly Free" for quite some time already. If you thought this is changing just now, you overslept for a few decades.
Thought crime is now a thing in real life
“Fuck the constitution!” -every maga cuck and pedo protecting gop cunt
We want consequences! ANY kind of consequences against the left. Now that the killer has been shown to be one of our flesh and blood, we need another angle to get consequences against the left! /s
Fascist! What happened to freedom of speech and land of the free lol!! America is a fucking joke now
It's okay to talk about killing the homeless and mentally ill.
Expected behavior. Cancel culture is bad and people should not be fired for their views. But if you don't align with my beliefs we will find you and get you fired. Listen to what they say they stand for and you will know exactly their belief. It is always the opposite of what they say.
Damn it MAGA, wave those American flags harder before our freedoms are taken away!
bunch of fascist scum
The land of the free (to do as you're told)...
Rather than look at the environment within the Far Right that is causing them to kill each other, they would rather focus on the reaction of their enemies to their internal civil war.
I don’t typically talk about politics at work anyway. They just want to be hateful all they want without anyone contracting them.
