Trannies having no concept of nuance, as usual. Constant political violence is a sign that society has deteriorated. Charlie Kirk today, maybe trannies tomorrow. It's not something a semi-intelligent person celebrates.

There is no nuance because that's not the point. These people are communists who want a deteriorated society because they hope it means there will be a new, utopian society from the ashes, upon which they will be the glorious revolutionary victors with statues and books about them. They don't realize that a deteriorated society means they get stabbed in the throat on a subway car, or shot in broad daylight, or they starve and die of dysentery like Christopher McCandless because the academic technocrats who told them about this Heaven On Earth don't care about anyone but themselves.

Conservatives might have their problems and their grifters, but the society they want is proven and time-tested. Liberals always want utopia and end up destroying everything in the process. There is a reason that the English Enlightenment thinkers looked down on the Continentals: the Continentals, with the exception of Baruch Spinoza (who survived an assassination attempt and understood the importance of law and order), thought even laws and law enforcement were somehow evil and oppressive. Then the French Revolution happened and proved the British thinkers correct.

It's too bad that leftists never learn, but that's because they are predominantly clout-chasing losers. It's why so many socialists get real quiet once they get money and status and it's why true believers are so fucking dangerous.

I've already seen some ghouls posting that thumbnail as a total victory, and only one thing came to mind.

There are a LOT of politicians, especially lefty ones, who have publicly stated something to the effect of "political violence is based, actually". If they were suddenly the victim of political violence, would that be an own? How much of your reaction would be "well this really isn't a good sign for political discourse"?

Obviously it's not a perfect analogy, as people tend to have much less sympathy for politicians, but even still if you're not thinking about how this affects the big picture then you're a retard. So many spiteful fools expecting this will just blow over next week and have no lasting impact on the wider political landscape.

Not just that but he was killed with a bolt action hunting rifle. The one thing every single democrat comes along and says "were definitely not trying to take your hunting rifles" when they propose "common sense gun control". There was not a single politician out there proposing banning hunting rifles as a solution to "gun violence", so their arguments that somehow he brought this on himself are just as dumb as they are cynically bad faith.

Again these people are vile, wicked, horrific human beings. And they are semi functionally retarded to top it of all off. Just file that way if/when we ever get real power in this country and they come groveling trying to play on our sympathy and compassion.

Count me in the 10%. Some of your dumb policies have the seeds of destruction built right in.

 

[GamerGateSurvivor]

And from the front page of Reddit, the world's most Reddit comic for this moment.

There was a former GOP representative who said we needed gun control after that troon in Minnesota shot those kids in a Catholic school.

Anyone who relents on this issue is both a traitor and a coward. They will not be sending the message that America needs to sit down and have a conversation. They will be sending the message that all the left has to do to get their way is to terrorize anyone they disagree with.

 

[Epic Fail Man]

I think those odds are sound... not good in any moral/ethical way but on point certainly.

I also think we'll see a similar event or two in the UK and possibly in France as well, seeing as how they're going to shit yet again.

The USA is a bit different than France and UK. There is more of a clear bad guy (immigrants, and the government), Same in Canada and other EU countries, I would go as far as to say they are just in a routine turning point of event according to generational theory. There is not such a huge divide in politics between the populous. I've been to all of these countries and seen it for myself and follow some of the polls there. What you're thinking is a revolt against the government, or a revolution, which is a bit different than the USA.

The USA it's the people against the people. retards in their own political bubble seething with hatred among their fellow citizen. and by looking at the polls, it's split nearly 50/50, and is very black or white (or I should say blue or red) more so than the EU countries.

A good analogy on what what you've seen in the USA since 2015 is the Thirty Years' War, the big "culture war" in Europe after the protestant reformation. What lead up to this, much like in USA politics, started with friendly debates between Martin Luther and the Catholics, simple debates turned into heated, Catholics decided to censor, censorship lead to prosecution, prosecution lead to bloodshed, and a split demographic of between people with ideas on where and how their way of life and culture must be, what do you know boom bam thirty years of war.

I'm not a religious guy but love reading history and generational theory. And for those who think GT is bull, China followed it closely before their rise and their officials and Xi discuss it to avoid another collapse of their Gov, or civil unrest and divide, every university there studies it.

Even if it doesn't happen in Nov 13th, It's inevitable.

That is a Gamo pellet gun. Not sure of the model

 

[StimulatedOrb]

wikipedia should really scrub all these things that make the nazis seem cool if they don't want more nazis

I do enjoy the "we have no evidence to support our statements, but some died, so imagine loads dying, and this is proof". Anyone who links wikipedia should be forced to eat human shit until they die.

Still waiting on your reasoning for why Biden didn't drop the files btw

Because they're both in them.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

 

[WelperHelper99]

I was going to say, no way thats a 22. You dont even need to assess the damage, the force it pushed him back alone tells me this was something more like your typical hunting rifle caliber. Plus the one shot, could have been bolt action.

It looks like a bolt action. Believe it or not, you can still buy one in wood brand new from the factory. Not everything is made in black plastic even in the 21st century.

Nope. Apology not accepted. Get in the van.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

The shooter’s motive is definitely going to be about Kirk’s strong support for Israel.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

The absolute chutzpah of this kike.
View attachment 7895903

I mean, its another reason I didn't like Kirk. He was in the infinite money for Israel camp.

Nobody cares about his views on Israel or the jews

Its one of the main reasons I never bothered to even listen to him along with actually trying to talk to the left.

 

[MadStan]

He didn't die for his beliefs. He died because of them.

 

[GlupShitto]

If you think cartoons and fiction can inspire political assassinations your as retarded as the women who saw Adolescence and believe every boy nowadays is an incel.

It's political messaging, no different from what you see in the MSM and shows like Stephen Colbert and The View that have been promoting violence against conservatives for years. They wanted this. South Park is where schizoid tranny zoomers get their politics.

Why the fuck does a blonde mormon have the last name Qureshi and is posting videos in arabic and has an arabic music playlist on his youtubeView attachment 7895891

So those silly Muslims are going to ruin every date in September, huh?

 

[Palantir]

His kids likely aren't yet old enough to remember him when they're older, not properly anyway. Just little memories of him, but they won't know him properly like children should know their father.

They won't know their father outside of how the media portrayed him and there will be HD video of his death always available online for their bullies to target them with. Can you imagine.

 

[HTTP Error 404]

I genuinely wonder what's gonna happen at that Tommy Robinson rally they're gonna do in Britain on Saturday at this point.

Give the UK state a perfect excuse to cancel it for "security concerns."

I need someone to explain to me why leftists (or not just leftists, but anyone else killing innocents for political purposes) do these things even though the consequences will clearly be bad for their goals.

They don't believe in consequences.

More specifically, the left does not believe in second order (knock on) effects.

The left believes that complex systems are static unless acted upon. For example, the economy never changes unless something intentionally happens to change it. Crime statistics never change unless something intentionally happens to change them. Something that specifically, intentionally, happens to change crime statistics.

Here's the malfunction: They believe that they can make changes to these complex systems and no other changes can occur. For example, they believe that they can cut police funding and the service level of the police will not change, and the crime rate will not change. They didn't pull those levers, they pulled the "less money" lever, so those changes don't make any sense to them. The police will just have to work harder for less money.

They also believe that changes only go one way. They lowered the funding of police so the police will NEVER get any more money, because they lowered it.

They also believe that only the left is allowed to make changes to systems. The right is not allowed to advocate for or enact change, only the left. The left is allowed to control the levers of society, not you.

As a combination of the above, they believe systems only ever become more and more leftist, more progressive. This may actually be the source of all this madness, their belief in the long march of progress throughout history results in the above as a backport of beliefs. Things only become more leftist -> the right isn't allowed to enact any social change ever, our changes can never be undone, yadda yadda.

(This is why Roe v Wade being repealed drove them absolutely pigfuck nuts, btw. It goes against literally every foundational belief they have, that they can't even articulate if asked. Progress is NEVER supposed to be undone. The science is settled! It's CURRENT YEAR!)

But to bring it back to Kirk and the consequences of his assassination, they don't believe:

1. That anyone else is allowed to do political violence
2. That anyone else can react to this political violence
3. That anyone other than the right can suffer political violence

They effectively believe something akin to "this is a horrible tragedy (that we're laughing about) but nothing at all can happen in response becuase we pulled the "someone should kill that guy" lever not the "you guys should return fire and kill us too" lever, and you aren't allowed to pull the levers of society, only we can."

So who was the shooter?

 

[McSneaks]

Not just that but he was killed with a bolt action hunting rifle. The one thing every single democrat comes along and says "were definitely not trying to take your hunting rifles" when they propose "common sense gun control". There was not a single politician out there proposing banning hunting rifles as a solution to "gun violence", so their arguments that somehow he brought this on himself are just as dumb as they are cynically bad faith.

That's the thing though, they're liberals which means they're too stupid to know the difference. Canada banned legal handgun purchases in response to a crime committed with illegal rifles. These people just say words because they have the anatomy which lets words form
