American Christofascism is a death cult. Change my mind.

This tells us more about what these monsters believe than Charlie Kirk ever could

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

GTFO, man if the left did something as tasteless, MAGA heads would explode.

That is SO on brand, isn't it? Wow.

Nah, Charlie said plenty about how he thought dolphins were people, and how mass shootings are 😉 gang violence 😉

RIP BOZO

“I’ll tell you that you’re not allowed to celebrate his death, while I go over to this tent and celebrate his death”.

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 8 hours ago

Reminder: they harassed math teachers for wearing a shirt with blood near the neck for Halloween. It wasn't even about Charlie Kirk.

If anyone left of TPUSA did this MAGA would be screeching.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 52 points 8 hours ago

Maga is so god damn weird. Its exhausting

[–] TheLastOfHisName@piefed.social 43 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why not add a wax figure of Kirk, wearing exactly what he wore that day?
Bonus: you could have another figure molded in pose of the moment when he was shot? "Yes, now you can experience Charlie's exact moment of martyrdom!"

And you know what? There would be a line.

Hook it up to a hose and squirt fans with blood through a hole in his neck!

Gwar has taught me that people love being sprayed with blood.

[–] BarbedDentalFloss@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Oh man it could be like a gwar concert!

Wow, that's completely tasteless. You would think that's what the murderer would want to see and visit. Good job guys.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 34 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Christ, they really are a death cult

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

That's as crass as using a cross to symbolize Christ.

Oh shit...

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 27 points 5 hours ago

Can we just start publicly call them weird to their faces again? Please!?!? It worked and started to break through their silly imaginary world where they own limbs at a convention for weirdos and kiddie-fiddlers! I don't know why they stopped!

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 24 points 11 hours ago

"And Charlie Kirk would have been sitting right here when he was shot in the fucking neck."

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Churches have a statue of a man being tortured to death on a cross prominently placed within them. So it's kinda on brand.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Exactly. What do we expect from the bloody death cult?

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This is grotesque, I couldn't imagine thinking this is normal or okay. These people are so detached from reality.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 7 hours ago

they're creating a new religion before our very eyes. best to get versed in discussing theologies because that's the propaganda language they speak and how we'll deprogram enough of them to survive this

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

you know, before that troll gurgled his last slur the term "getting kirked" was more likely to mean you're being fucked by a spaceship captain.

I like the new meaning instead.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 hours ago

I guess "penetrated by something that isn't good for your health" is the common denominator

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 15 points 7 hours ago

Follow your leader. :)

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Why

Literally why

I can't

I don't have the energy for this right now

Because money. Someone thought “oh I can make money doing this”. It’s all they care about. Money

Honestly, this doesn't feel different to me than using the cross as a holy symbol for Christians. Both are very weird culty behaviours, but not much different. Although at least Christianity has the centuries long traditions, history, and international numbers to justify their behaviour. The tent thing without that context makes it extra weird.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Are these chucklefucks gonna start wearing little tent necklaces?

"murdered" or "had his own beliefs regarding gun control practiced"?

Right up there with "We're all domestic terrorists" from a few years ago.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

What the actual fuck?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 8 hours ago

Could you imagine how these psychopathic wierdos would be screaming if the same display was at the Democratic Convention?

[–] VisionScout@lemmy.wtf 8 points 7 hours ago

Actually it's a good idea! For some it's a place for happy selfies, for some its a place for sad selfies. Nobody will complain about it!

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

To be fair, people are paying for cross necklasses after their last religious leader died on one...

Still weird though. I like the hbomberguy phrased it; 'how do people know I'm part of the jesus fan club if I'm not repping his holy merch??'

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 hours ago

Ooh, could you get a video of yourself saying something racist before gurgling and slumping over?

[–] dhhyfddehhfyy4673@fedia.io 6 points 10 hours ago

People are so goddamn weird.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 7 hours ago

I would 100% take a selfie in a recreation of the setting where a hateful piece of shit got murdered, but not for the same reasons as the people at this event.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Well thats not morbid at all

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

People are messed up

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

The four-day event, called "America Fest"

More like Whitoid Fest where not only the fundies come in but also closet Nazis and Kluxers.

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

The modern day Horst Wessel.
