Fuck all this "let's not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent" bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let's dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
-
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

it's a quaint notion, but they don't need any pretense to do anything. This guy is a nobody, just enjoy his demise. This regime is sort of their victory lap after locking down the judicial and legislative branches, the only consequences they were ever going to face were the actions of heroic american insurgents.
Then why go for an effective speaker like Kirk?
Note: I am implying it's probably not The Republicans. It could very well be a Republican or a right-winger, or it could even be a leftist or centrist or personal rival or anything else, but IMO since we have no evidence about the perp, we can't really make any solid conclusions yet.
For like the rest of the week at most. People are definitely still pissed about Epstein at least.
They'd do that even if he died by accident.
But do you really think it would be work sacrificing one of Trump's best propagandists?
Making a social media post is trivial. If he didn't do it himself, he has staff who are trained to do this stuff on his behalf.
I doubt it. But even if they did it hardly matters... they wanted to "move fast and break things" in a country that has more guns than people - and Trump has done nothing but screw his own base over time and time again.
To be kind of honest, I'm surprised it took this long.
There's a lot of pissed-off right-wingers out there - and there's a lot more where this came from.
After the speech Trump just gave... I am inclined to believe this.
See my top level comment for the speech, seems to have just happened in the last hour or two.
Obviously proving this either way would be impossible, at current moment.
But... cause and effect and all that, qui bono.
It was a single, incredibly accurate shot... and, to the best of my knowledge at this time, it does not appear that an actual suspect is in custody, nor was a weapon or even shell casing even found...
Which would lend at least circumstantial evidence toward the notion that... this was done by a trained and skilled professional... who simply escaped, and a patsy will be pinned for this.
... This could be sufficient to ... make all the rightoids forget about Epstein.
This is our Reichstag Fire.
It ... ultimately doesn't matter who actually did it, or why.
Yep.
He's about as perfect as a sacraficial lamb as you could ask for:
Generally well known and beloved by them... but ultimately, probably replaceable with at least a nesr equivalent.
I think a lot of more internet based leftists do not realize how ... common Kirk was, how much actual physical presence he had in all the places he visited and had public events... household name indeed.
But again... no way at this point in time to be certain, but whooo boy does the overall scenario make sense as a plausible candidate for false flaggery, unlike the Butler shooting, which was just a deranged malcontent with bad aim and sloppy overall plan.
