Locked because I keep getting reports from people arguing. Cool off.
What the fuck does he have to talk about? He's just an idiot with a gun.
It's Kent State which is world famous for idiots with guns.
Can’t Read, Can’t Write, Kent State
He has a story about getting away with murder. Sociopaths gonna sociopath
How to larp with live ammo for fun and profit.
He's now the golden child.
The irony of this happening at Kent State.
It's not ironic it's intentional.
After 9/11, this country took a hard turn into fascism and boot licking. I was complaining about the new McCarthyism, the demented expansion of the police state, and the march to the right when my aunt interrupted me to say "not everyone thinks McCarthy was the bad guy there." She said it was such smug indignation I was genuinely shocked there were people that were fans of McCarthy.
When I said that that kind of un-American behavior leads to stuff like Kent State, she said, "If you can't be loyal to the troops you get what you deserve." That's when I realized that we as a nation were absolutely fucked.
After 9/11...
Fascism and bootlicking were in vogue among conservatives since Nixon.
That's for sure and I think you can make a pretty reasonable case that they only got worse. They managed to convince most Americans that somehow were becoming more liberal despite the fact that we're in reality we are getting more fascist every fucking year.
We've moved so far to the right as a country that Joe Biden is more of a right-wing Republican than Reagan was. It just so happens that the alternative to Joe Biden is Donald Trump who is somewhere to the right of Hitler, And if Donald Trump were literate we would be in even worse shape right now.
I'm not sure your aunt is the nation
This nation then reelected George w Bush while it brutally cracked down on protests and got super extra racist real fast and just in time to go murder 170,000 people in two countries that didn't attack us.
It's kind of hard to believe that she's not sort of typical of American fascism. Our actions as a nation make it hard to believe that American fascism isn't somehow incredibly widely tolerated and promoted.
Then we had Donald Trump, and the entire court system seems to be utterly incapable of dealing with this level of corruption or criminality but the right wing and the neoliberal apologists who own most of the revenue driven media seem to think this is somehow okay.
Well I'm sure she is. What now?
She's enough of it to be a real problem.
I'll grant that most aren't aware enough to make comments on McCarthy specifically, but they would if they could.
Way too much of the country is running those things blue line flags and licking boots as hard as they can while thinking they're doing the opposite.
signed up to attend as a student with the name of one of the Kent State Massacre victims.
Based.
Toy soldiers and Nixon's coming...
I mean... it's probably pointless to point out how tone deaf it is to have a panicked shooter speak at Kent State of all fucking places.
Sensible people's disgust is the point, correct?
I saw that. Then i googled it just to make sure i didn't misremember. Wtf.
They’re bringing a guy famous for shooting people at a left wing protest to fucking Kent State‽
Imagine being such a loser
Step 1) Show up armed (open carry)
Step 2) Wait for Rittenhouse to show up
Step 3) Defend yourself
Someone reported this comment for threatening murder lol.
That's fucking awesome. I hope they have a great week.
Lmao, got my free ticket. Kyle is not the 2A spokesmen any sane human wants.
One of my friends suggested this the other day: Print out posters of him crying in court, and put them in the seats of all the tickets you reserve.
A solid suggestion if you ask me.
America, where murderers become celebrities
the right try not to put every murderer they happen to agree with on a pedastal challenge
Meh. Nothing to do with me, but the dude is really milking his 15 minutes of fame.
It's not him, the conservative outrage machine has his chubby little body hooked in.
I totally would, but I'm not giving Toilet Paper my phone number
I'm not suggesting anything in particular but you know when you want to do something but it requires a phone number and you don't want to give your phone number? There are some solutions.
