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

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.

*widow

I meant widow, sorry for not being clear.

You were pretty opaque about what you meant .

[–] kspatlas@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

At least they made themselves clear

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A spelling mistake that bad deserves some shade.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's curtains for me.

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

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months 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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] FreeAlchemist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well yeah, free speech for her.

Cohen-Sanchez said the group still plans to come to campus despite the cancellation.

Hell ya, fuck their permission

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 50 points 2 months ago

The propagandist doesn't like free speech? Who could have anticipated that?

Zee Cohen-Sanchez: How Influencer Drama Derailed a Progressive Movement

Zee Cohen-Sanchez, a Bernie Sanders campaign veteran, launched “Un**** America” (we're going with Unfudge America) to counter Charlie Kirk’s influence on college campuses. But internal drama and performative purity politics quickly sabotaged the project. She recounts how influencer apologies empowered whiny critics and fractured the left’s ability to wield electoral power.

Curious story.

they don't even remember the lyrics properly.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm terrible at remembering lyrics. That's why I can't be a singer.

Well that, and my voice is even worse than my ability to remember lyrics.

But if it wasn't for that, I'd be a great singer.
