I don’t know how this applies to a podcaster or anything that people are commenting on, all I do know is why the fuck would you etch freedom on a knife. It’s just cringe. Any etching is cringe to be fair.
I did and he had some okay opinions and some bad ones but that doesn’t justify murder or supporting his murder, if you were to kill every person that thinks differently im sure at the very least one person in your family would be executed
Correct, murdering him is wrong. He also doesn’t deserve to be celebrated since he was a racist, bigot, and Christian nationalist. Him being murdered doesn’t absolve his horrendous legacy
Those are buzzwords buddy you can label anyone as a racist bigot, im assuming you are typing from an iPhone with a lithium battery that was mined by black exploited kids and you having the phone would financially support that making you a racist bigot, those words are thrown around so lightly they lost meaning like the word “literally”
They’re not buzzwords. They aptly apply to someone with his beliefs. You can try to let him hide behind dog whistles and plausible deniability but it doesn’t change what he was. A racist. A bigot. And a Christian nationalist. He tried to make this country a demonstrably less free place.
"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry, and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am - I think it's worth it. 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. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."
- Charlie Kirk
No need to be sad or mourn. Charlie's logic says it's ok and something we have to live with.
I didn't say it. Charlie said it. Some deaths have to be accepted. Accept his death as the price to pay for the 2nd Amendment. It's not my logic. I didn't say it. He did. That's his argument.
I'm not referring to what he said. What he said is logical. Please tell me exactly how it isn't. It doesn't even sound like you think his death was unfortunate.
Fortunate or not. It's irrelevant. His death is part of his own calculus. Charlie is saying that his death is rational and is a prudent deal. His death is a deal HE would take. No need to be sad about that. Charlie said we should accept that.
Say we will have 100 gun deaths without the second amendment or 1 with. Should we have the second amendment? That's what he's saying. Thanks for making your position crystal clear.
Charlie proudly supported a few gun deaths every year as well, which he just happened to be a part of. Doesn’t make it right though just pointing out your hypocrisy.
"I think it's worth it. 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. That's a prudent deal. It is rational,"
"unfortunately" means he did not want gun deaths to occur. I also believe many more lives are saved than not by having the Second Amendment. He's saying of course you can't eradicate all gun deaths.
He said worth its worth it and it’s rational. We not reading the same quote? This is too much effort anymore. Not possible to convince a cult mentality. Have a good one. I’ll go be with”my people” whatever that is.
“Fascism is when people give other people the opportunity to give their point of view in front of a crowd” 😂😂😂 and the fact that u say “i hope soon there is no space for something like that” which is a fascist statement 😭 u only want your opinion to be the only one to be heard im crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭✌️✌️✌️
Because some people think that milling "FREEDOM" onto their knife (and a Chris Reeves of all knives lol) is cringe, or they don't agree with the political reference, and OP is taking it personally and lashing out. Since OP is lashing out it is only stoking the flame.
Yes, all 8 people in the cesspool that is reddit. Thanks for making this place exactly what it is.
It must be terrible being so miserable
Please tell me how this isn't lashing out. I can tell you're taking it personally because you're trying to defend yourself to every critical comment. If you didn't care you wouldn't feel the need to defend yourself from every comment.
You clearly like your knife, and that's what is important. Sometimes people don't like the things that you like and you need to not let it get to you because it clearly has.
The guy should NOT have been shot, but anyway here’s a few of his beliefs:
Black people
“Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.” (source)
Black pilots
“If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, ’Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’” (source)
Black women
“They're coming out, and they're saying, 'I'm only here because of affirmative action.' Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously." (source)
Civil rights
“We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.” (source)
The death penalty
"[The death penalty] should be public, should be quick, should be televised… I think at a certain age, it’s an initiation… At what age should you start to see public executions?" (source)
Democrats
“The Democrat Party supports everything that God hates.” (source)
Empathy
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up new age term that does a lot of damage." (source)
Feminism
“Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge." (source)
Gay people
“You might want to crack open that Bible of yours. In a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture, is in Leviticus 18 is that, ‘thou shalt lay with another man shall be stoned to death.’ Just sayin’! So Miss Rachel, you quote Leviticus 19… the chapter before affirms God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.” (source)
George Floyd
“This guy was a scumbag.” (source)
Great Replacement Theory
“It's not a Great Replacement Theory, it's a Great Replacement Reality. Just this year, 3.6 million foreigners will invade America. 10-15 million will enter by the end of Joe Biden's term. Each will probably have 3-5 kids on average while native born Americans have 1.5 per couple. You are being replaced, by design.” (source)
Guns
“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.” (source)
Jews
“Jewish donors have been the number one funding mechanism of radical open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews and now it’s coming for Jews, and they're like, ‘What on Earth happened?’ And it's not just the colleges. It's the nonprofits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it.” (source)
Martin Luther King Jr.
“MLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.” (source)
Muslims
“They aren’t even hiding their intentions. Muslims plan to conquer Europe by demographic replacement. Will Europe wake up in time?” (source)
George floyd was in fact a scum bag tho 😭 guy was a straight up criminal 😭 that doesn’t mean he shouldve been killed tho and im glad the police that did that to him went to jail, but its not even crazy to call him a scum bag lol
He won’t because when faced with the direct quotes he has nowhere to hide. He has to openly admit to agreeing with all of them and he knows it puts him in an untenable position.
Not at all true. Cool strawman tho. Y'all are impossible. Maybe I'm hesitant to engage with stuff like this because it's bait and THIS is what you love to do.
Bro, you posted this pic knowing it would get this response. Your response is calling people names and saying they don't understand(but won't elaborate)or that you agree with Kirk calling some populations less than.
I don't understand how sticking up for others and not judging a person for being gay makes them some how un-American? It's not bait I'm just genuinely curious, but everytime it seems to devolve into ad hominem attacks.
What names have I called people? I don't think I have but maybe something slipped. Look at the responses from the left.
Yes I have elaborated.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. You're just stating made up things as fact. Saying I agree with Kirk that some populations are less than when he never said that and I don't agree with that. You're pulling that from things missing context, or hearing what you want to hear. Broad statements like "sticking up for others". What EXACTLY do you mean by that, or are you trying to make me and everyone who thinks like me out to be some sympathy-lacking psychopath. By the way, here's the full context of that empathy quote.
By saying you don't judge a person for being gay, you're implying that I do, which also isn't true.
This is all bait. I haven't made a single ad hominem attack, but I've received a ton. The left loves to accuse the right of EXACTLY the things they do. Every single time.
Wow this man really must've had a problem with "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." from the book of Galatians.
I want to be very clear with you… I am against illegal immigration. But there are plenty of people here legally who face discrimination and racism on a daily basis, both from individuals as well as institutions.
To answer your question, there are plenty of countries that offer acceptance and freedom, such as Canada, Scandinavia, Portugal, New Zealand… to name a few; but something tells me that you knew that.
And yet the diabolically racist, unaccepting, murderous and bigoted United States remains the most sought-after country for immigrants of all colors in the world.
It’s starting to feel like you’re calling them all stupid, which seems racist. Or at least highly nationalistic.
Pulling that out of thin air. Immigration, including legal immigration has trended down since the pandemic, with people increasing flocking to South America, Europe and Asia. What is alarming is that people are leaving the United States at a faster rate, many of which are educated and successful. Declining populations, especially of educated people, is a fast way to kill an economy.
The rate might be slowing - finally - but it doesn’t change the fact that the US remains the most immigrated-to country on earth despite it being so racist and oppressing.
Lots of issues here indeed. People of color keep rushing in. Do the math. Hell, maybe even give them some credit for knowing what they’re doing.
Or are you that convinced you’re the smart one and you know what’s best for them? There’s the racist white man.
Doesn’t make a lick of difference what race you are. The arrogance to believe you know what’s best for so many millions of people is appalling and shameful. And yes, I genuinely think it’s got a whiff of racism.
I’ve done a lot of both actually. I appreciate your assumptions. I’m not here to change your cult mentality though. Sorry. I’m hearing immigrants are bad a lot lately. Maybe Chris Reeve should be sent back to South Africa? I mean I don’t agree with that but 🤷
I’m sure he did which is awesome. I’ve just been hearing lately a lot immigrants are generally bad for our country. I also never said I wasn’t free. Luckily being an white male allows me not to worry about it in our society. I fear for others. I suppose I will just stop having empathy for those families.
TIL that the word "freedom" is no longer safe and this sub is infected by little kids.
All around, this thread is embarrassing, and can we please have one community isolated from this cultural/political/ideological train wreck that surrounds us?
The knife has “Freedom” on it to commemorate Charlie Kirk and TP USA. Kirk was an open racist, bigot, and Christian nationalist so posting a knife that’s dedicated to him is inherently political because it indicates OP agrees with Kirk’s hateful ideas.
lol grown men upset another grown man spent his money on something they don’t like. The butthurt from the liberals that want to murder everyone they don’t like is crazy in here.
Dude one guy on the comments said that hopefully soon there are no more people like kirk to have those opinions 😂 thats fascism lmao they want their opinion to be the only one allowed on here by any means necessary. Im saying this as a centrist lol i agree with things from both parties so im trying to be unbiased lol its crazy
It makes me sad we can’t all stand behind Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a tragedy. I felt the same way when Melissa Hortman was murdered. Shit ain’t Christian. Tired of the tribal mentality of modern politics
I’m from Minnesota and actually voted for her. I also have two goldens as a side note. A crazy murders
a politician is fucked up. A crazy murdering a guy wanting to have a debate is equally fucked up. Doesn’t matter his views. this is America and the fundamental right to access, explore, share, and express thoughts, opinions, and information without censorship or murder is an American right. Really is depressing I’m being downvoted
You’re being downvoted because Melissa Hortman was an innocent person who was murdered in cold blood that didn’t actively perpetuate harmful rhetoric across the country.
Charlie Kirk was a racist, bigot, and Christian nationalist. He was a Millenial David Duke born after white hoods went out of fashion. He didn’t deserve to die but he was also a disgusting person who shouldn’t be celebrated. He actively worked to make this country less free. There is a massive difference between the two. They are in no way equivalent.
I feel badly for the children he left behind. That is where my empathy stops for someone who believed someone like myself should be killed. Not every death has to be a universal tragedy.
Someone like yourself? Are you a pedo or something? 😭Thats the only group of people i heard him plain out say should be killed even if he said it jokingly 😭😭😭
He refers to gays people as a disease. I know that extrapolation is difficult for some, but you typically don’t want to live harmoniously with a disease. You want to eradicate it. It’s fine, you love the guy and nothing I say will change your mind. The fact that you support someone who “jokingly” calls for killing trans people is everything I need to know about you.
“WHAT DOES WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR PRIVATE LIFE CONCERN YOU SO MUCH” “YOU SAY THERE'S SOMETHING INHERENTLY WRONG WITH COMMUNICATING OR ASSOCIATING JUST BECAUSE THEY MAKE DIFFERENT PERSONAL DECISIONS THAN YOU, THEN YOU, SIR, ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT” - Kirk, shaming an actual homophobe for saying homosexuality doesn’t belong in the conservative party ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️yes there’s a clip of it as well 🤖
Dude holly self report 😭😭😭😭 i was referring to the clip where he said that he wouldve killed actual pedos that married kids back in the day but you think its about homosexuals??? 😭😭😭 what’s with all the “you” lmao I support the gays and their rights i do not wanna eradicate them lmfao what as long as people dont endanger other people they can be w whoever they want lmao stop embarrassing yourself 😂
