Wow is that the original? I think we’re on volume 50 right now

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

An edit with a little vol.50 would be epic lol

Doing God's work!!! For Charlie! 🤣

In what universe is Charlie Kirk at all comparable to MLK?

Release the rest of the Epstein files. Release the Yahoo emails. Why is there a drawing of Epstein grooming children allegedly at Mar a Lago?

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 75 points 3 weeks ago

He's not, and they know it. Pretending he's a martyr for as long as they can is rhetorically useful to them.

He isn't and everyone knows it. It's what used to be trolling except it has now become a core principle and they are a full two or three generations into believing their own bullshit. It's like that guy who loves banter until you hit him with a slapper and it's a "he's gonna fight you in the parking lot" kind of situation but he called security and told them threats had been made and the cops are getting involved but it's ok because a few days later he got stabbed 7 times in Lovejoy NY for talking shit in a pool game and all was right with the world.

Sorry I got lost on that one but you get the point.

Let's go down the list:

  1. They were both shot and killed.

That's the list.

Someone probably equates the political nature and him being white to what happened to MLK Jr.

Releasing the files was one of Charlie last wishes.

Really working hard to distract from what the senate did yesterday being a shield for a pedophile

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 76 points 3 weeks ago

What has Charlie Kirk actually accomplished, though? Besides spreading hatred and bigotry, that is?

He's like the anti-MLK. Everything he stood for is the worst that conservatism has to offer.

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

He had a dream that america becomes like in the handmaid's tale.

Do it, I would love a place my dog can take a shit if I ever visit.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Putting Charlie Kirk's giant face up across the street from the MLK memorial would be a real "What do they stand for?" moment for generations to come.

Someone's gonna shoot the statue in the neck

You have a statue of MLK because he deserved it.

You should not get a statue for Kirk for the same reason that there is no statue of Joseph Göbbels in Berlin.

[-] rozodru@piefed.social 46 points 3 weeks ago

This is the martyr they wanted for whatever reason to finally roll out their next phase. He'll be used to lock up/kill anyone that says anything negative about the administration. They're treating this nazi like he was jesus fucking christ.

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

Umm, they were already kind of doing that

Go ahead, hold him higher. Ring that bell as loud as you can. Identify yourselves as sycophants and fascists. Tell us what we already know.

[-] DNS@discuss.online 42 points 3 weeks ago

There was a republican politician who wanted to take back the word Nazi like how black people use the N word. We are at the point in society where calling someone a Nazi, or a fascist, is not the worst thing you can do. In fact, it encourages the bootlicker to double down on their rhetoric.

The US Republicans and moderates welcomed fascism. How convenient as it's at a time where mostly all WW2 vets have passed away. The irony of their grandchildren welcoming the same evil they fought against.

[-] Horsey@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago
[-] nozone@sh.itjust.works 42 points 3 weeks ago

Kirk organised but did not attend the so-called “Stop the Steal” protests after Trump lost the 2020 election and helped coordinate buses for the 6 January 2021 rally led by Trump near the White House, where the outgoing Republican president urged the crowd to “fight, fight, fight” to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden.

Putting a monument for this turd in the capital he tried to overthrow is just perfectly republican. These people are going to milk this guys death for the next dozen years at least.

Remember kids, fascists need a martyr & will happily make their own if needed.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah go ahead. Put it with a plaque that says what will be his famous quote "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year".

They want to add a gender neutral bathroom? I thought they hated those.

[-] SCmSTR 25 points 3 weeks ago

Worst administration ever.

I mean sure but we knew that back in January of 2017

Hope his statue looks absolutely ridiculous. Like it's based off the edits of the man with an extra tiny face

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago

Those are actually just pictures of him.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Kirk was more a Goebbels than an MLK, and more a Horst Wessel than a Goebbels. And even then, not one who was that good at sticking to the party line.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

also the fact that charlie himself was recently ranting about files too, so the timing is very suspicious. because kirk has huge influence over young college age incel-to-gop pipeline, hes a threat.

DC does need more public restrooms

[-] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

This doesn't matter at all. Release the Epstein files.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Lol. I'll personally deface that shit.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 weeks ago

How is this not the Onion

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Only if it includes a water feature at neck-level with some red lighting to re-create his finest moment.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

I am assuming they put an excerpt from "I have a dream" for MLK. I wonder what they'll put for CK? The empathy one, the sacrifices must be made for guns one or his actual final words about "gang violence"?

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 17 points 3 weeks ago

"Glglugglgulguguguglllgguuu"

[-] yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Wisest thing he ever said.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 11 points 3 weeks ago

They just so desperately want to be important and yet their desperation is making the times very important but their actions completely unworthy of being praised.

So stupid.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yeah. Totally normal to throw up a statue before the bodies cold.

[-] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

DC really could use more public places to piss.
