        That’s whataboutism, though. Catholics aren’t great, either, but they’re not nearly as bad as Evangelicals who worship Trumpism.

          No, it’s not whataboutism.

          The Catholics own more property than anyone else on Earth. Do you know how they got that property, gentle reader?

          All Abrahamic faiths are death cults, no exceptions

          Hey now the crucifix is a plenty civilized torture device. Unlike the savages who just killed you before desecrating your corpse the Romans lashed you to a cross and displayed your still living body then they’d take your corpse down eventually. Do you not see the fruits of civilization when compared to the savagery of the barbarian, especially since you may get running water and lead poisoning in return.

          You know I was initially making what amounted to pro-Roman shitpost but uhhhh it kinda turned into a weird commentary on the United States midway through.

        This isn’t a movie plot we’re talking about here, nor is it some small far-away regional conflict that could never affect you.

        I’m in the US but even if I was on the opposite side of the globe in a decent and closely allied country like Australia or NZ, I think I’d still be worried about these psychos being in control of the 800 pound gorilla.

        Plenty of people care. It’s a large group, and many members of the group are dangerous. Like Charlie Kirk was.

        the thing is: magas don’t care if leftist heads explode or mock them even, but leftists somehow can’t, when roles are reversed. leftists can’t win the “who’s more ruthless” game like this.

    Why not add a wax figure of Kirk, wearing exactly what he wore that day?
    Bonus: you could have another figure molded in pose of the moment when he was shot? “Yes, now you can experience Charlie’s exact moment of martyrdom!”

    And you know what? There would be a line.

      Walz started the trend and it resonated with and energized the base so much to the point where he surged to the spotlight from relative obscurity in a very short amount of time and ended up getting picked as running mate by the Harris campaign.

      But then Harris’s campaign almost immediately pivoted to the classic strategy of, “damn our base, they’re going to vote for us anyway so instead let’s appeal hard to the right”, despite that consistently being a losing strategy over the last decade or so.

      So they told Walz to shut up, just stand there and look pretty and cut it out with the “weird” stuff, it’ll alienate voters on the right. Turns out instead they just killed all the momentum growing within their own base while at the same time failing to win the votes of the weirdo cult members wearing ear pads in solidarity with their God king.

    I feel like Charlie Kirk should be nominated for a Darwin award. Dude literally campaigned for guns, said it was Ok that some people die from gun violence and then got shot while sitting under a tent labelled “prove me wrong”.

        Everyone always screws that up. The Darwin award doesn’t just mean the person died from their own stupidity, it means they did the world a favor and removed themselves from the gene pool before passing on their genes. By that note, people who are unable to reproduce also cannot be eligible for the award.

            Ah yeah good edit, I wasn’t even considering that you could have meant it that way.

            I decided to go look up the rules in order to contribute something more useful to this discussion, and it turns out that the mere presence of offspring does not disqualify one from the award!

            Given their reasoning, I think Kirk would qualify. And given that his whole brand was about spreading stupid dangerous ideas to everybody’s kids including his own, and then he died in a spectacularly ironic and public way, I think he should actually win one!

        So did John Wayne Gacy, what’s your point?

        Charlie Kirk’s comment about “some gun deaths being necessary” was in response to a comment about school shootings involving small children, wasn’t it? I don’t remember exactly, why don’t you look it up yourself?

    you know, before that troll gurgled his last slur the term “getting kirked” was more likely to mean you’re being fucked by a spaceship captain.
