What in the actual fuck is wrong with people. Kirk was literally nobody.
They're doing the Wessel to Kirk - using a relatively unknown person's death as a unifying figure of propaganda and white-washing.
The Wheezle! Propaganda, buuuuuuuuuudddddddy.
The Carotid-Wessel.
Americans have always been into their cult of personality. You see it every time with their presidents, they’re rabidly pro their guy.
Apparently tribalism and jingoism are the core American traits. It's astonishing how strongly.
Yeah, but at least people (generally) know who a President is. This guy was just a random wingnut influencer. Seriously, how many people even know who the fuck he was before he was shot?
You’d be surprised; he was a big influence on the younger MAGAts and pulled a lot of dumb kids to their cause.
I suspect the big tour he was doing was part of a project to groom him to take Trump’s place as the leader of the MAGA cult once the orange menace kicked the bucket.
He had about the same kind of charisma and the skill to make himself sound smart and successful to dumb people.
I mean, quite a few online people know who Catturd is, too. I'd be asking the same question if someone were to murder him as well - do we really need to Ronnie Raygun either Catturd or Charlie Kirk?
I didn't.
Y'all, the denial of power happens on every possible level. We gain power with every single Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway sign that gets "accidentally" knocked down with a car bumper. Or every Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway offramp sign that gets suddenly redesigned overnight with a can of black spray paint. Deny them quarter on every single front.
Where I come from, it's more traditional to shoot highway signs. In Kirk's case, it also seems somehow more fitting.
I really hope they don't shoot up the memorial signs
One bullet in the sign would just make it more accurate
Cordless angle grinders are cheap.
We really need to do something about all the surveillance cameras.
Paintball guns or any other remote delivery method, if it's close to the ground you can then just bash it with something heavy and if it's high up it won't get fixed because city maintenance doesn't want to allocate the lift truck to it.
Steal the signs
USA is not a country anymore, it's become an insane asylum.
At least in an asylum you can follow the rules and get out to live somewhere else.
Not after they Make Asylums Great Again
Charlie Kirk does not need streets named after him.
I'm reminded of how residential areas often have streets with themes. Like all of the streets are named after birds or after fables or something.
"Just turn right on Joseph Goebbels Lane, then take a right on Rush Limbaugh Blvd, then take a right on Bill O'Reilly Ave, and finally take a right on Charlie Kirk Cir. Yup, that's right. My house is right in the center of the swastika."
This road will now become a public bathroom.
Its Florida after all, so it probably already was
Remember what his and others of similar ilk's hateful followers do to a simple rainbow crosswalk.
There's a whole road for ~~antifa~~ profree to work with.
We all need to cross out Charlie on all the signs and write in James T.
James T Kirk is fictional and still deserves infinitely more statues than Charlie
What the fuck is wrong with people?
A handful of assholes got into power with the help of a shitload of idiots, and an incredible number of them live in Florida
Fuck your feelings
