    “Manhunt for killer takes longer than expected because all competent officers have been put on suspension for proper identification of propaganda and hate speech.”

    Watching the media cow tow to white nationalism has been a really dark moment the last few days. The context everyone needs to know about Kirk is that we literally executed people like him at Nuremberg for doing the exact same type of thing he did. Except back then the debate bros were holding vigorous discussions about “the Jewish question.”

      Common misconception. They were actually referring to “freeze peach” all these years, which is a top-tier method of preserving the popular fruit. Delicious and succulent fruit.

      It’s only cancel culture when those “woke, Democrat libs” do it. When a Republican does it, it’s called “justice”.

      I hate this timeline.

        Conservatives had been canceling things for decades, or even centuries beforehand. The Satanic Panic, burning Harry Potter books for promoting witchcraft, burning real people who were accused of practicing witchcraft… Conservatives have historically used cancel culture to enforce the status quo and exert control.

        It wasn’t until it was turned against them that they began calling it cancel culture and complaining about it.

      I work for a school district and received a newsletter from our superintendent about an employee who posted that Kirk deserved it on Facebook.

      Fucking doubt they would’ve been as concerned if someone said similar about Melissa hortman.

    I don’t know who that dude is on the thumbnail; but his face is disturbingly small in comparison to his head.

    I do not support political killings. Given this, I will say our country is better off without him alive and no longer spreading his hateful toxic talking points. Do I support political murder? Absolutely not. Am I glad he is dead? Oh hell yes! These two statements are not mutually exclusive to each other. I would have been even more thrilled if it were an automobile accident. But somehow I feel the left would still receive the blame for something. Fucking thrilled he is dead. Do I want more of his kind dead? A most definite & resounding yes. But, NOT BY MURDER! Let the gods of nature do their thing. I will call upon dark spirits to do some bidding of destruction on the far right. No one can really prove this type of thing legally.

      If you look at history, there has never been a period of significant change without significant bloodshed.

      The powers that be have been conditioning us for generations to believe that “violence isn’t the answer” so we can’t effectively challenge their power.
