Look at what they actually put effort into. Kids in Mississippi don't get enough food to eat JD. We just canceled funding that was very close to curing cancer, and we threw it all away to elect a pedo. USA is a dead nation.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I'm not celebrating his death but I will also not pretend that he was a good person. Come at me, JD.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

Welcome to Snitchland. And again, they are following the Nazi cookbook to the letter. Look up "Blockwart" to see what they want...

Piggies love a snitch society.

Love your HOA? Then you'll love tour country bring run by assholes like that.

This is literally just cancel culture

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago

But government-sponsored, which means it’s a violation of every American’s First Amendment rights. Save for the part where the US no longer has a Constitution, democracy, or rule of law.

[–] ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 155 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

But I thought Cancel Culture was a woke mind virus?

What's that quote, never think they don't understand what they're saying? Can someone fill it in, can't find it.

“Never believe that antisemites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge… They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.”

-- Jean‑Paul Sartre’s 1946 essay "Réflexions sur la question juive"

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

That's the one, thank you.

"If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

The modern day version of the ending is to scream and teehee the argument is over by commercial break,

How dare you criticize Saint Charlie, by quoting all the times the Bible contradicted his ideology! That's hate speech! /s

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago
[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 17 hours ago

Thanks for pointing this out.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 53 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What happened to free speech?

What happened to “fuck your feelings”?

What happened to cancel culture?

What happened to your snow flake insult?


I can criticize that jackass all I want. I get being upset about the people celebrating his death, but that is worlds apart from merely criticizing the man.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

For the right, everything is about violence. They advocate and perpetuate violence, but they do it because they believe you to be violent, because they have been told so repeatedly. And so they attack you and oppress you and strip you of rights, and this violence against you is justified because they are “good people” and you are “bad people.”

So when you criticize their fallen hero, who died for free speech, then you are no longer engaging in speech or valid criticism, but violence. You see, it proves what they already know to be true, you are violent, depraved, and an enemy of freedom and goodness. And so their escalating violence against you continues to be justified.

And today, because the fascists hold nearly absolute power, any and every employer will cowtow because they are afraid of the campaign of terrorism that will follow if they do not. And so we sink deeper into depraved, inescapable, eternal fascism.

This was Vance's plan all along: become Vice President so he could get the CIA to initiate an entrapment operation to coerce some internet loser to shoot Charlie Kirk so he could take over his podcast.

The mind boggles

[–] recursive_recursion@piefed.ca 41 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

The republicans aren't even pretending they're not copying from the 1984 Big Brother playbook now

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 29 points 16 hours ago

Why would they need to? Their base can’t read.

[–] Two_Hangmen@midwest.social 22 points 16 hours ago

They get upset if people quote Kirk, but then also get upset if you disagree with what Kirk said.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 46 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Why is JD Vance suddenly starting to spearhead stupid statements like that? Is Trump too busy being nearly dead?

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 15 points 16 hours ago

Trump "moved on" days ago. He's probably already forgotten who Charlie Kirk even was, by now.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

He's definitely fucked up. But also, seeing Trump makes people think of the Epstein Files.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 9 points 13 hours ago

Talk to Europe about free speech again cushions

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 28 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Can I report Nazis to their employers?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

They'll probably just get promoted

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

Apparently our corporate overlords are complicit so they would probably get promoted

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 3 points 17 hours ago

That would be really bad and anti american! /s

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

these mother fuckers are so corny and lame lmfao goddamn FUCK every single one of these dickheads

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

fucking cabbage patch couch fucker is a taddle tale?! who could possibly see this coming (besides everyone on earth)?

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Pft, I wear my Fuck Trump hat to work, you think they don't know my feelings? Come get me vice-snowflake.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

I would say go into your local community forums and follow JD's advice because there's a lot of people calling for violence.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

FUCK CHARLIE KIRK. Report me, I dare ya

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Republican plan tattle when your feelings are hurt but if YOU say anything or stand up for yourself about the bigotry, disrespect and intimidation MAGA shows you directly that’s “cancel culture “. I wonder what HR would say about Charlie’s hateful podcast?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I'd love to curse kirk into couchers face

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

All praise dear martyr!

[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

luckily i live in canada, and only go by an alias, nazis get shot. shit happens.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t see how this works in thier favor. Maga people make racist comments wothout needing someone to die. So while charlie comments will die down, MAGA one won't. So if both sides report, MAGA loses in the long run. Plus, while cheering someones death can be considered in bad taste. Knowingly employing a racist can expose a company to significant legal ramifications.

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

They think being racist is normal, but hating Kirk is extreme.

[–] DeadPixel@lemmy.zip 0 points 16 hours ago

For a bonus right?
