I know we have a lot of Statseian comrades on here, especially now after the deprogram sub ban, and this might be controversial to say, considering the state of the place over the past day or so, but I really don't care about Charlie Kirk enough to see how it warrants this much meme posting when there is so much other concerning shit going on at the moment.
It makes me wonder if there is a concentrated effort by the powers that be to latch onto this story and push it to the forefront of western discussion to distract from something actually important, like Poland potentially triggering war with Russia, or the fact that the civilian aid flotilla to Gaza has been getting relentlessly firebombed, or that theres a color revolution in Nepal underway right this moment.
I was hoping to find some discussions on these things from a socialist standpoint, but it's wall to wall kirkposting so far. idk, seems fishy.
Imo it's a serious event, but i agree that we don't need 100 posts memeing about it.
I'm wondering if it merits a megathread, but honestly, I think the old saying should be applied here:
The opposite of love is indifference
I'm pretty indifferent to this type of US domestic drama, but i think a day or two of discussion is fine, we can allow our comrades from the US that much as a treat. But yeah, after that the news cycle needs to move on, there are much more important things happening in the world.
Yeah, honestly I agree. I mean I kinda get it, but it's a huge amount of posting for a (relatively) minor event. I logged in today mostly to see if anyone was talking about Poland and I was met with a barrage of posts about a guy in the US getting shot. I dunno, I'm not convinced he deserves the fanfare.
Yeah, exactly how I felt. I was thinking "damn, Israel just bombed Qatar, I'd like to see what Lemmygrad thinks", and it's the same meme 50 times over.
I don't even think the Luigi incident got this much when it happened, and imo that was actually more worthy of being memed since it was in a way actually useful as agitprop.
The Kirk noise is going to age like a pointer finger mustache tattoo.
