I think these fascists are trying to make him their "George Floyd". But unlike what the death of George Floyd represented (a wake-up call and a rallying chant against authoritarisnism, bigotry, institutionalized racism, and police brutality), this is a complete farse and a mockery, completely devoid of any meaning. He died for nothing except to give us some hilarious memes to laugh our asses off for no more than a week

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 65 points 5 days ago

I strongly disagree.

I'll be laughing for much longer than a week.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 38 points 5 days ago

I smile when I think of the blood pouring from his neck.

Nazi lives don't matter.

My fuckwit uncle's response to comments about George Floyd was "well turns out he was an asshole."

So as long as someone's an asshole, it's okay to extra-judicially murder them.

[-] PyroNeurosis 11 points 4 days ago

Is your fuckwit uncle internally consistent or a racist?

They're claiming it's their Reichstag fire.... They have somehow achieved a negative grasp of history. As in measured on a scale of 1 through 10, these people have a score of -5

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

to be fair this is also a wake up call for them.

if they fuck around, they might find out.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Apparently, it’s this guy.

Family members turned him in, because even his own family doesn’t want to harbour this bigot.

And here’s a quick synopsis:

He’s exactly who you’d think. I, for one, am shocked /s. I guess Charlie wasn’t Nazi enough or something (according to Nick Fuentes in past statements, Charlie was a bit too ‘woke’, but we don’t know this lunatic’s motives yet, so I’m just speculating).

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Not for nothing but we don't know if he's conservative or Republican at all. We know his family might be but we don't know he is.

Me waking yesterday with no memory of whomst I was.

I am very sick.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 57 points 4 days ago

The fucking state of Virginia is calling for a moment of silence over this guy. What the hell is going on?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 36 points 4 days ago

They're martyrizing him. Goal is probably civil war and trans genocide.

And to bury the Epstein birthday book. Did anyone realize that the emails between Maxwell and Epstein were released yesterday?

the far-right establishment behind the Trump administration is preparing to use this as the justification for the incoming Reichstagsbrandverordnung.

They've got their van der Lubbe now and they're working to get their bullshit in before Nov 2026

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

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago

We need justice and closure for the survivors. That's why the files need to be released.

The last time I checked, and fuck me if I'm wrong, the NFL has several black athletes. What did kirk say about black people?

[-] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 80 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Calling the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a "huge mistake"

Describing Martin Luther King Jr. as "awful" and "not a good person"

Stated "If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to think, 'I hope he's qualified'"

Claimed successful Black women like Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson were "affirmative action picks" who "do not possess the cognitive capacity to be taken seriously"

The league only cares about black athletes to the degree that it can profit off their performance.

Case in point: Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem -- which was honestly an extremely mild form of protest -- and was immediately black-balled.

If they do care about black athletes, they clearly care about money a lot more.

Remind me who the owners... wait, don't. Let's just look at a picture of the owners of the nfl.

Then think about how 'just' their presentation goes. Compare the owner and the 'peripheral' employees. There's a better picture that I can't find that is often used in sociology classes, where the owner of a team is in the presence of the cheerleaders and the players, and it can't be beat for showing that if you're a rich man wanting slaves and concubines, owning a team is pretty much the next best thing.

The sports associations are fucked.

NFL and nhl are really showing how much they dig fascism. Can’t quite tell with the mlb but the cardinals sure as shit are so fuck them

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 39 points 5 days ago

NFL is the Millionaire CTE Scramble anyway, so I ain't watching that shit.

[-] Marshezezz 21 points 5 days ago

Not to mention how fucking boring that shit is. I love how nfl fans will say baseball is slow and then sit there like football isn’t the slowest fucking thing ever god damn that sport is a drab and doesn’t deserve the name “football”

Got orders at work today to lower our flag to half staff in his honor. No mention of 9-11. This is a public school district :(

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 5 days ago

Too bad the wires are malfunctioning and the message never arrived

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Boycott the NFL if you like American style football just watch Canadian or Australian football or even rugby they are all close enough and in some cases like Australian football I would say are better

[-] scala@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago
[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago

If you suggest this to a Canadian they'll rip out your spine, they could never give up hockey or seal clubbing.

To quote Marilyn Manson:

"If you die when there's no one watching,

then your ratings drop and you're forgotten.

But if they kill you on their TV,

You're a martyr and a Lamb Of God. "

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

It's not like I can boycott their garbage any more than I already do.

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 6 points 4 days ago

It's all pop culture and social trend... Life's not about being an actual decent human being for most people.

[-] moondoggie@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago

Man would I get my ass kicked once I started up my “CHARLIE KIRK’S IN HELL clap clap clapclapclap” chant during the moment of silence.

I said they weren't gonna, and they didn't. We got a big ol flag display outside town, the towns proud of it. It goes to half staff when appropriate. It did not fly half staff yesterday.

It will likely happen before every football game this weekend.

Fox News will then publish a pearl-clutching compilation of people booing at college football games, and Trump will use that to justify defunding those institutions further.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

i have a suggestion, and that's that everyone going to one of these events, cue up Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, have multiple copies downloaded on your phone ready to go at whatever public event you're at ready for that jackass' moment of silence, and blare it out your phone. count down one two three then whoever's ready plays at full volume. drown the motherfucker out.

US sports (except maybe basketball) are very right-wing. I don't think they actually care one way or the other, but their audience is mostly boys and men, and boys and men are right wing these days, so the sports cater to that audience.

The information on the tiny amount of epstein files released might be titillating but the real meat and potatoes is in the rest of the huge mountain of information that they did not release.
