RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

Hey just looked at his wikipedia page and whats funny to me is there is very little about his actual life. Its like hes a caricature and nothing more. It makes me think of animes where people are caught up with spirits and stop being human. In this case the spirit is the movement that does not care for his humanity.

His Wikipedia should mention how he failed at the game of life. I've already significantly outlived him in years. And I'm not a pathetic worm propagandist. I beat Charlie Kuck at the game of life. We all did.

Thank you; this is a thought worth keeping in my pocket for the next time I feel down.

He was such a hollow husk of a man that I'm surprised there was anything inside to leak out.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He never has his own opinions or views. He only displayed the opinions and views of his fanbase and worked to maintain that. He focused on his mask for so long, that the real person was hollowed out.

It's true! But I think that's what dark money does, it installs political figures who don't really have a human side.

If they did, they wouldn't take the job.
