Charlie Kirk hates homosexuals so much that the Right Wing Inversion Principle means he must be gay too. He started a movement that acts like a support group to help keep him scared and in the closet.

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't he get haircuts tho? He's basically going to hell anyway.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I had no idea sky daddy didn't like haircuts. But, you know what, I'm relieved. Now I know I'm going to hell, uncertainty be gone. And.. and, I can go sporting a fresh trim.

[–] Slwh47696@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

His face also gets smaller every time I see him

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (30 children)

I really don't like comments like this. They imply that queer people are the cause of homophobia.

[–] exanime@lemmy.today 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't read it as that... To me it looks like being afraid of leaving the closet causes homophobia

This is the same principle as small penis men buying large trucks... They are doubling down on the homophobia display to over compensate for their homosexuality

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But haven't you noticed that every loudmouth homophobe gets called secretly queer?

[–] exanime@lemmy.today 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think it's because they so often are ... It's becoming a stereotype now

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (9 children)

I think they so often are claimed to be. How many actually are? Have there been some? Yes. Do we actually know how many? Even a rough estimate?

Homophobia is the reason some queer people self hate so goddamn much they lash out at all queer people while the original homophobes cheer it on. Also, some people are just awful, terrible monsters regardless of their sexuality.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Sure, there are self-hating people of all sorts of marginalized groups, but queer people are the only ones who get regularly talked about as if the people who oppress them are also queer.

You don't hear about Muslims being oppressed by secret Muslims.

I cannot provide evidence for this, obviously, but it would seem to me that most bigots are bigots because they're bigoted, not because they're secretly the thing they're bigoted against.

[–] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago (26 children)

Religion isn't something intrinsic about a person. If you hate the fact that you're a Muslim, you can opt out.

You cannot opt out being queer.

Jesus - "He who is free of sin cast the first stone"

Republicans - "Is lying a sin?"

Jesus - "Yes!"

Republicans - "FAKE NEWS!!! JESUS IS A COMMUNIST TERRORIST!!!"

“He was a hero because he was crucified. I like people who weren't crucified.”

[–] WaistGunnerPug@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago (6 children)

I mean, the conservative law makers did execute Jesus...

They’ve replaced “thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor” with “the ends shall justify thy means”

Weird how they pull that shit out of the bible but never:

“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God."

[–] Ranvier@sopuli.xyz 34 points 4 months ago

Or this one:

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Because, the kingdom of god isn't here. So fuck those poors. /s

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

They pull that all the time, when they're talking about the excessive taxes that innocent small business owners are forced to dodge.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago (6 children)

I will never get tired of posting this anytime I see his tiny face

Kirk Slider

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

International treaties make posting the slider obligatory to online discussions where Kirk comes up.

Thank you for your duty.

Put it to 92%, look away for a minute then look back and have a good chuckle.

Lol I've seen this before but never realized there was sound with it. Is that a new feature?

There used to be a quiz where'd you'd guess if his face was bigger or smaller than "normal", but it looks like it got deleted

Fuck Charlie Kirk. Massive piece of shit.

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

It's so cute when they dress up in their Trump cosplay suits.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Why does anyone think he doesn't agree?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Whaddaya mean? Can't you see the upside-down flag??

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

The upside-downitude makes it EXTRA GAY

[–] Psiczar@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Because he doesn't care about religion, he’s just using them to get what he wants.

Man, Supply-Side Jesus got rode hard and put away wet

[–] PancakeTrebuchet@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The trick is to self-loathe, and then you're justified in spitting on everybody!!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Ugh, he was falling off so he's saying some crazy shit for attention. Also the stage sharing was 2021 which was probably the last time he was relevant.
