If some Karen ass white woman can object and the event is shut down, is that really free speech?

[–] FreeAlchemist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well yeah, free speech for her.

Charlie Kirk's death was the best thing to ever happen to her.

Most people I know didn't even know Kirk was married until his ~~assassination planner~~ window* started making the news screeching about how much of a saint he was.

He married a window???

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I meant widow, sorry for not being clear.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You were pretty opaque about what you meant .

[–] kspatlas@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

At least they made themselves clear

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A spelling mistake that bad deserves some shade.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's curtains for me.

I guess I'd better frame my next comment differently!

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Next time, use Windex before you post.

I mean it es pretty good for me too. I wouldn't put it top 50, but those were nice endorphins

What should worry us all is that it happened and will happen again and doesn’t seem like anything is successful at stopping it.

History is cyclical. And that's why conservatives are adamant about removing our ability to understand it.

"Those who ignore history, are doomed to repeat it."

It's supposed to be cautionary, but for conservatives, it's a game plan.
