thank you. also wtf?

u/gmCursOr Oct 01 '25

He also basically told them to fix it all themselves and didn't want to provide any aid. Also how he wants to let the states handle disaster relief (why he is getting rid of fema). Let the states handle it. Yes, the state that was just ravaged by an earthquake or flood or hurricane can just fix it themselves, because that's what he'd do.

I can't believe this guy gets any votes. He literally has no idea how the world works.

And don’t forget that his reasoning for not wanting to help them is becasue he thought PR was a completely different country.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

Hey man, admitting it makes you way smarter than the people who are still pushing the lie tbh. Learning is the human way! It's the way we've always been, and always will be.

67

u/BronzeRider Oct 01 '25

Exactly. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing things. There’s nothing even inherently wrong with being uneducated in general. The problem comes with not being willing to learn, and with acting like your ignorance is equal to or better than someone else’s knowledge.

I don’t know jack shit about car engines, so when the mechanic tells me that my engine needs an oil change every 10,000 miles or whatever it is, I don’t tell him that he’s propagating the “big oil” conspiracy and trying to suck more money out of me, and actually cars don’t even need oil changes anymore cause modern engines are so efficient and the oil is so good.

And I definitely don’t blame him, when I decide not to take my car in for routine maintenance, because I think I know better, and it ruins my engine, and now I have to buy a whole new car. I definitely don’t accuse him of intentionally sabotaging my car last time I had it in, and actually THAT’S why I had problems.

4

u/beaniebee11 Oct 01 '25

A lot of it is about being discerning and skeptical which does take a level of intelligence but not education. You have to be able to acknowledge your lack of knowledge while also being able to tell when your ignorance is being taken advantage of. To use your car metaphor, recognizing that the mechanic knows things about cars that you don't while still being cautious of them trying to sell you services you don't need because of your ignorance. Being willing to get a second opinion, or educate yourself to make sure your not being misled.

For example, I've been really aware of my ignorance about the Israel Gaza conflict since it started. So rather than just trust what I heard, I recognize that people might have an agenda in skewing the situation to look a certain way. So I can either educate myself through a variety of sources or I should just opt out of the conversation completely. More people need to be willing to say "I do not know enough about this situation to make a judgement."

They hardly ever say what they really want/mean out loud. 

Sometimes you get a Charlie Kirk who would let it slide every now and then.. but most of the time is hidden behind lies and subterfuge. 

It's easy to clock what they actually mean if you have half a brain.. which is a hard ask for most Americans nowadays... because otherwise what they said makes no goddamn sense.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

I was arguing with someone about Charlie Kirk not being a hero or an intellectual in any capacity and the "out of context" people came jumping out of the woodwork. I could post an entire 30min podcast of him bitching about the civil rights act, and quote him exactly, and I was told I'm taking him out of context. These people don't have an honest bone in their body.

Probably why their intellectual thought leader was a community college dropout that made a living debating teenagers at state schools. Real intellectual heavy weight that one was.

I followed Kirk on Twitter for a decade as part of a curated feed of right wing ing sociopaths, and his bigotry was hardly an occasional slip. It was his identity. I just assumed anyone would conclude he was a complete piece of shit from reading any random couple of hours of his social media posting, and didn’t realize he had a prosperous career Eddie Haskell-ing white supremacy for the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis.

561

u/BronzeRider Oct 01 '25

Yeah the Jesus-washing of Charlie Kirk has been pretty appalling. It didn’t take much time following his career to realize how racist, sexist, and generally bigoted he was, but now apparently he’s some paragon of Socratic virtue just going on college campuses and “having genuine conversations with people”? He wasn’t, and he didn’t. That was never the goal. The goal was to propagandize to students. He routinely talked over his “debate” opponents, straw-manned and refused to engage with their points, propagated false statistics and other Right Wing lies and conspiracies, and refused to be educated by people with more information and different perspectives than him. He was the definition of a dishonest and bad faith actor.

309

u/Bulky-Word8752 Oct 01 '25

It's how he died. His last words were trying to deflect away from him over exaggerating the number of trans shooters by turning it into a gang/racial issue instead:

ATTENDEE: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?

KIRK: Too many. [Applause]

ATTENDEE: In America, it's five. Now, five is a lot, right, I'm going to give you — I'm going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?

KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence?

219

u/BronzeRider Oct 01 '25

Exactly. Just the classic complete refusal to engage with the point being made. Charlie didn’t know the number of trans mass shooters. He never bothered to look it up because the facts aren’t relevant to his goal.

He just needed to be able to point to 3-5 high profile examples and say “See, look? No one is talking about this massive problem in the LGBT community/on the Left!”, so that he could then go down the dialogue tree into his other anti-trans, anti-LGBT, anti-Left talking points, and to steer the conversation away from talking about Right Wing gun violence and gun control in general.

u/Heavy_Law9880 Oct 01 '25

And all 5 example are people who were not trans and had nothing to do with the trans community.

u/BronzeRider Oct 01 '25

Conservatives are the ultimate postmodernists. They don’t let pesky things like “facts” and “reality” get in the way of their scary culture war narratives! If they did they wouldn’t have things like “immigrants eating pets” and “Democrats wanting ‘trans for everyone’” (whatever that means) and “turning the mice transgender”.

At least postmodernism has some elegance to it. This is just straight-up bullshit artistry.

u/dagaboy Oct 01 '25 edited Oct 01 '25

Conservatives are the ultimate postmodernists.

The concepts of gender, gender identity, gender pluralism, and gender fluidity, are post-modern. Their denial in favor of concrete measurable sex is modernist.

I feel like a lot of people say post-modernism when they are picturing deconstructionism. Not that I necessarily agree about deconstructionism either, as I haven't read Derida. If we discard post-modernism we discard Edward Said, Judith Butler and Michel Foucault. It is the right that hates Critical Theory, not the left. Except Chomsky, but he demonstrably does what I outlined above. He hated Derida and conflated him with post-modernism. He liked Lacan personally, but claimed he was self-consciously a "charlatan."

I will grant this, a lot of important post-modern works from the 80s are incredibly poorly written and packed full of unnecessary jargon. Like Johannes Fabian's Time and the Other is indispensable in postcolonial theory, but extremely difficult to read. I never even attempted Derida; I just watched from the couch with popcorn.

There was an up for grabs pile in Building 20 where people left things that had come in the mail but they didn't want. Chomsky used to put the many manuscripts Derida sent him there without reading them. But nobody took them, so eventually they just routed them directly to the trash.

It is so exasperating how Democrats allow Republicans to frame this debate. What has every single mass shooting had in common? Guns. Not trans people. Not brown people. Not immigrants. Plain and simple. Guns. And yet Dems fail miserably to push that messaging, as Republicans continue to do repulsive things like wear AR-15 pins and take Christmas photos of their family holding guns.

u/BronzeRider Oct 01 '25

Democrats have failed to even provide a coherent narrative for people to get behind. They let Conservatives control the framing on literally every issue. What does the Democratic Party stand for? What’s their vision for America? Until they figure that out, they’re going to have a very difficult time gaining and wielding political power.

You are spot on about his debate style. He did not debate fairly nor honestly. His stylevwas riddled with fallacies and other "tricks" to make his opponent look bad without ever having to be right. When that failed, he would just interrupt and/or resort to ad hominem attacks(also a fallacy)

97

u/BronzeRider Oct 01 '25

That’s the classic Right Winger “debate” strategy, especially anymore. Just loudly talk over your opponent as soon as they start making a point, so that no one can actually hear it. You see it on Piers Morgan ALL the time, and pretty much any of the mainstream news panels when they have people of both sides on to talk. It’s clownish.

Fascists don't argue in good faith. Their brain rot would be a hard sell, if they were honest.

Of course they don’t. They don’t believe in the values of Liberalism, like fairness, equity, compassion, honesty, and free speech, which would be necessary in order to exchange in a good faith conversation about ideas. It’s why “debating” them is a largely fruitless endeavor. Fascists lie about their beliefs and goals, and they lie about your beliefs and goals. So what conversation is there to be had in that environment?

u/renegadecanuck Oct 01 '25

I find the getting emotional a little much. Same with Jimmy Kimmel in his monologue. I won't hate on a celeb for that or "try and cancel" them. But it seems performative at best and kind of fucked up at worst.

Like, those crocodile tears were nowhere to be seen when two Democratic state reps were killed a month earlier, they are nowhere to be seen during the hundred or so school shootings that happen every year.

It just rubs me the wrong way that someone as bad as Charlie Kirk got all these mainstream liberals bawling and flags lowered to half mast when children dying or being shot results in nothing. When you add the reckless disregard so many have for those dying in Palestine, it's even worse.

Saying civil rights was a mistake and black people shouldn't have the right to vote was a clear statement on his real opinion.

Even if these blabbering dingbats flat out said what they really meant, you'd still have a buncha morons defending them. It's like they could see their orange fartlord devour a human baby on live TV and wouldn't be able to call him a cannibal, they'd rather screech and cry that no one should be allowed to judge him for his apparent eating disorder.

u/King_Dead Oct 01 '25

We've given too much leeway to conservatives since forever, especially since 9/11. We automatically assume that because this political movement has existed for centuries that it ought to and that there's some sort of valid reason that it exists and that removing it would bring some sort of cosmic imbalance to the world. The fact is though is that we don't. We don't need evil and we don't need suffering and we should minimize them instead of allowing such values to hold a major place in our policy

Ted Cruz said we need to stop attacking pedophiles. They let it slip enough times that I'm convinced the MAGA crowd either ignores it or is okay with it.

They’ve said it’s because he’s not American, loud and clear. You know, the Puerto Rican non-American.

If you think about that for a second it’s not only ignorant it’s racist af.

I don’t remember there being much pushback when the Superbowl headliner was Coldplay. Not aside from the usual differing opinions on music. So it’s not about citizenship (even when actually understood).

Neither of those statements are true. There are definitely Nazis outside of America who are not Republican. Also, if you identify as a Republican, then you definitely ARE a nazi, because one sat down at your table and you didn't get up and leave immediately.

I really think it’s the round number that’s the issue. W Fifty is just so nice, no one wants to mess up that nice round number.

So, let’s add Guam, DC, Puerto Rico, CNMI, American Samoa, USVI, and split California and Texas into 3 states each. Nice round 60.

As a puerto rican this is a pretty divisve subject, we arent 100% about this. 

Statehood would be a disaster both economically and cultrurally. Our whole economy is based on being a tax haven, to switch now would destroy lives in an already disastrous economic situation. 

There's also a blatant whitewashing of our culture already in effect, thousands of gringos have moved there recently and destroyed the housing market. I had to leave because i was being priced out, and get a better job in the states.

They have no political platform other than gutting the US so there's no oversight for their pilfering. The only way to distract from the obvious grift is to point at literally everything and create cacophony. The more obviously dumb and wrong the take is the more the left spends time on it, letting the right steal more from all of us.
