Every Democratic politician must be arrested and the party banned under RICO. Every libtard commentator must be shut down. Stochastic terrorism. They caused this."

The 'left' doesn't worship politicians like gods. I would honestly be indifferent if 90% of the Democratic establishment got wiped out.

The fact that they're frothing at the mouth without any actual evidence of the shooters ideology is all you need to know about their intentions.

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 44 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Right? That guy needs to chill out. Charlie Kirk was worth no more, and probably even less, than any of the other hundreds of people that die any and every day from gun violence. People on the Right have literally just discovered what America is all about, I guess?

lol

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Definitely wasn't as much of a tragedy as the kids who died the same day in Colorado.

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Let them target Democratic leaders instead of trans people and Palestinian protestors, although they would do all 3.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I would bet real money that this was done by the current administration.. just like the bs attempt at shooting trump.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Wouldn't be the first time they murdered someone to prevent talk about Epstein stuff.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 99 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't the Reichstag fire a false flag?

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 81 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the ~~Jews~~ Communists, then used it as an excuse to start rounding them up.

[–] JohnSwanFromTheLough@lemmy.world 50 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They blamed the communists for the fire.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 8 points 8 months ago

You're right, my bad !

They are so fucking stupid. They don’t understand what the historical events mean. They don’t understand who the villain is in Star Wars. It’s all fucking bizarro world in their minds.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

StarWars is fucked. You have the religious extremists known as "Jedi". They travel around, engaging in galaxy wide human trafficking and kidnapping.

So they can get their hands on kids and start training them as child soldiers to create obedient, dogmatic super soldiers.

I'm not saying they're the only villains. But they are definatly not the "good guys"

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The real trick to Star wars is knowing every side is evil.

Just ones realistically evil and the other is cartoonishly evil.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 7 points 8 months ago

idk man the past ten years have really given me new limits on what counts as "cartoonish"

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 8 months ago

THEY THINK they are punisher, and superman.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 67 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Go ahead and ban the party. We'll make a new one. Name it the FUCK CHARLIE KIRK Party.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 55 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Kirk WAS left leaning when he died.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 24 points 8 months ago

Holy shit that's fucking brutal

Did trump have kirk assassinated to distract from the epstein shit? As they always say on the right, I'm just asking questions...

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't think Trump, personally, has the stomach to actually order someone killed. He likes to hint around that if something bad happens to people he doesn't like, well that would be unfortunate wink wink but I think he's too spineless to actually order a hit. Now Nosferatu and his ilk on the other hand . . .

We got better aim 😉

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I don't think anyone is afraid of Meal Team Six.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Those J6 "rioters" were some dumb motherfuckers. Too bad they got a gift of little to no punishment. In fact, I think the shooter was one of them, that was let out by Trump (not really, but that'd be something). Soft on crime, hard on minorities Trump.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago

an angry child waving a gun is still dangerous

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Guns are the great equalizer. You don't even need great aim if you're shooting into a crowd.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 months ago

And at the very least, covering for pedophiles.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 19 points 8 months ago

We killed Nazis before, targets, you’ll be no different.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You know my high ass thought of something.

There’s a loneliness epidemic and at the same time the biggest spread of hatred I have ever seen in my lifetime.

A bunch of men feel sad, alone, and hatred. That makes me sad.

All while being conned by the billionaire class.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Turns out social media was a poor replacement t for community spaces.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 13 points 8 months ago

Matt Forney is already a well-known Nazi. He has his own ADL entry.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Are these real people? 😂😂😂

Classic abusive "look at what you made me do!" rhetoric.

I also think that wanting to kill half the population is a bit of an overreaction. Especially so, since they're already ahead in the kill count.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Since it turned out it was a Republican that killed him. Are they gonna do the same now?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Does this guy have any public speaking engagements coming up?

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

I'm legitimately scared of what the Right's going to do now that Charlie Kirk's death has kicked their ant hill

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 7 points 8 months ago

for people who dont like being called nazis, they sure talk a lot of nazi shit... (no surprise... but... idk, I'm saying it like it's a revelation for nostalgia sake I guess)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

do these people know what RICO is? kirk was also on about files, trump cant have one of thier major propaganda talking heads , speaking the contrary

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So they’re basically admitting they’re Nazis looking for a reason to genocide liberals

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I mean they were mask-off when they tried to lynch politicians and storm the seat of government.

[–] guy@piefed.social 6 points 8 months ago

The same Reichstag fire which is unclear if the Nazis did or otherwise?

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 6 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Bruh doesn't know what the night of long knives was... I bet he thinks its when nazis hunted down communists lol

Why would the Reichstag fire and the Night of Long Knives be where you go first??

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I for one did Nazi that coming.

Things will get out of control for sure.

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Matt tweeted, holding back tears

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

So they’re admitting they’re the NAZIS and will use the shooting as a false flag to attack the left even knowing that the shooter came from a MAGA family and was probably a right winger himself?

[–] plyth@feddit.org 4 points 8 months ago

This is wrong on so many levels, it's poetic.

Night of the long knives - they will be surprised.
