We are all Charlie Kirk

Boy, I really wish you were!

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 17 points 7 hours ago

How does this prick still have money, he got sued out of existence, probably is owned by some billionaires now

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 8 points 7 hours ago

If only we were all collectively so lucky.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 20 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

I really don't get how people can see what Charlie Kirk has said and celebrate this man's message. Our country is already fallen to idiocy.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 21 points 8 hours ago

It's because to them the only thing that mattered was his in-group status. He was a "great Christian", not because he followed Jesus, but simply because he identified as such and did it loudly.

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

They don't see what he said. Most of the probably haven't actually listened to him or even thought about him before this.

But even if they had listened to him in the past, or looked him up now, the grounding bias of "he's a good person"/"he's on our side" has been established. That's a bias that's nearly intractable.

He was willing to die for his beliefs and he did, I say based

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 hours ago

we are all charlie kirk now

I am all charlie kirk on this blessed day.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago

Facists are such emotionally unstable crybabies. When they throw tantrums people die.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Such a fake. These man babies can't even practice what they preach. At least Charlie was man enough to stand up for what he believed in.

This dude looks bad for 51; I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t had a heart attack yet (fingers crossed)

[–] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 1 points 5 hours ago

He does look like he's going to give himself a heart attack.

Alex Jones went on his show the day Charlie Kirk died and within 20 minutes of the shots started exploiting the whole story for his own gains, letting the video of the shot hitting Kirk play on loop, in slowmo, "zoom in on that" while plugging his products and rambling about the left. He is a disgusting piece of shit grifter that doesn't stop exploiting people's misery, even if it's one of his own. Kirk wasn't even pronounced dead before Jones started building a narrative around it. If I were someone from Kirks family or company I would sue the living shit out of Jones for this, it is vile and disgusting even his co-host was a little taken aback by it.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

The fuck? I thought they'd have an inch of decency for their grifting partners

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

I thought he lost the rights to his show

Im still pissed the onion lost the bid for info wars.

[–] master_of_unlocking@lemmy.world 24 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It’s still in play! https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/media/infowars-alex-jones-onion-sale-texas-judge

I wish I could find the article I found the day the decision was made but it mentioned that it’s now more likely that The Onion gets it. 🤞

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

That's good news! Thank you

But shit. Jones still won't be going away.

Jones is free to keep broadcasting his show, and he has said he will do so under a different brand.

How do you pay for everything when you're a billion in debt?

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

In Boomer Logic(TM) it's easy! Just walk into business factory company inc and demand a job, which they will obviously just hand you one, and it will pay so well that as long as you don't even think about avocado toast, you'll be a billionaire by the weekend!

hey alex, it sounds like a flock of wah wahs is coming. UH OH

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 122 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

"We are all kirk now"? Meaning you can now be Kirk'd by your own followers? I'm good with that! When do you start?

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Not by his own followers. It would be more like Alex Jones getting popped by a Glenn Beck fan

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 24 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I'm genuinely surprised we haven't seen Alex Jones enter the mukbang phase of his career to try and keep attention going his way.

The next video of him filming from his car, I expect to see no fewer than 40 Dorito loco tacos fom Taco bell in his dashboard.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

He and trump should do a Supreme Court Owned flavor of doritos. Maybe the flavor is salt and vinegar?

Alex Jones asks US Supreme Court to hear appeal of $1.4 billion Sandy Hook judgment

Cry harder you sentient anyerusm. Cry much harder and feel way more unsafe. Then you'll know what it's like to be queer and why I couldn't give a damn about whether you live or die

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

hes like j peterson, always on the verge of crying, emotional outbursts due to drugs.

CHARLIE KIRK IS A CRISIS ACTOR!

I know he's hiding somewhere in epstein's bunker.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Too dark?

Fascism Speedrun Spoilers

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 41 points 19 hours ago

Oh, did he have plans for his future? So does everyone gunned down by senseless violence. Including criminals. Including people of colour. Including school children. Get off your high horse you lying faker, no one cares about you or your guy anymore than you care about the hundreds of school children gunned down every year in your country. I thought this idiot lost his platform? Wasn't he forced to sell it when he lost that lawsuit about him lying and harassing children?!

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 52 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Republicans keep acting like they weren’t the ones starting this trend. They were nasty towards Obama for 8 years. And Trump came in and increased the nastiness towards anybody that said anything against him.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Republicans keep acting like they weren’t the ones starting this trend.

The guy that shot the Kirk was still one of them, just from a sect that couldn't stand him.

If anything, from recent assassinations only Luigi could be connected with the left, but even then it looks more like he did it due to personal experience with UnitedHealth.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, Luigi didn’t do it for political opinions. Definitely the distinction.

This meme does indeed contain someone who was the actual crisis actor all along.

The left is now celebrating Charlie Kirk's brutal murder

I'm guessing there are some who do, but I can only speak for myself.

And for myself, I'm not celebrating his brutal murder. I'm mostly just very satisfied that first, he won't be spreading lies and misinformation anymore.

Second, that it's apparently right on right violence. The left isn't responsible and it's the right's violent rhetoric that is giving them all of this grief.

Third, that an evil person got his comeuppance in a manner consistent with his own rhetoric, and so all of the right's hypocrisy is exposed.

Fourth, that the shooter's engraving on his ammunition show pretty clearly that he's been failed by the education system and has succumbed to the sort of memeing brain rot that has become our modern plague, so I get to talk about that.

Charlie Kirk was simply a person who improved a room by his absence. And now, he's gone for good.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

Second, that it’s apparently right on right violence. The left isn’t responsible and it’s the right’s violent rhetoric that is giving them all of this grief.

They're trying to say the shooter "Had a trans girlfriend" and therefore was "totes a leftist". Though there's no evidence of the relationship or the person even being trans.

There's NOTHING More Tragic then a Grown man getting Gunned Down in Public!

David Hogg is surprisingly good at this stuff. I wish him a long and successful career. I realize that will probably mean I’m going to hate his guts in twenty years, but that’s ok.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

he was censured by the DNC sadly.

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Honestly, I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t.
