Interesting thing to say about Europe. Let’s see what your husband has to say about this.

They really just say whatever in pursuit of their goals. Conservatives should not be taken seriously. They're dishonest, cognitive hazards.

Im sorry to uhm akschually you but a cognitive hazard is anything that’s dangerous when perceived with (at least) one of the senses (I.e. upon seeing something),
but this is actually a infohazard, something that’s only dangerous upon being understood (like a instruction manual on how to build a bomb, which wouldn’t bee dangerous in the hands of a fish for example)

Eh, he was kinda right the first time: the less capable you are at critical thinking (I.e. understanding what they're actually doing), the more vulnerable you are to their bullshit.

Yeah but obviously a bunch of people just lap this stuff up.

Once you buy into the cult a whole bunch of cognitive biases & fallacies kick in to keep you in; sunk cost, conservativism bias, false consensus, confirmation bias, anchoring, etc they get all the falluses

Wasn't her own husband assassinated in broad daylight on American soil under President Trump?

Counterpoint: America is probably slightly safer without Charlie Kirk's rhetoric.

"We must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty...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."

He was also against 2SLGBTQI+ people

And he has said many things that are straigh up racist. So yeah, good riddance to him. May he rest in piss

Just the other day I was shot while advocating for increased gun violence.

52

Did some random person claim that he shot you? Then after he was arrested they found out he didn't shoot you, but he had pedo porn on his laptop so they arrested him for that. I don't know what's real anymore.

6

I don't think he was advocating for it. It was more of a disingenuous 'we've tried nothing and are all out of ideas'.

I personally think that is worse.

The party of 1984. They couldn’t possibly adhere to it any closer.

In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

Orwell, 1984

They just make shit up like what actually happened or what they said before never existed.

44

Yes of course it has. Trust me, I'm here. No need to confirm yourself. There are criminals everywhere. Just trust me.

See you'd think that'd work, but the US kidnapped the democratically elected Venezuelan president while committing horrific war crimes that if any other country did it the US would immediately invade for doing, all over the fact 'the country was full of criminals.'

So really ErCIA Kirk is just laying the propaganda framework for an invasion of Europe by the US.

The problem is that the pretense doesn't even have to actually have any basis in reality

This. Its not as through Venezuela was invaded because they were insufficiently rigorous in proving the US's statements wrong. The US was going to do that anyway

2

He wasn't assassinated. He was just shot in a school shooting is all.

How can you even begin to critique other nations/continents safety with a gun death record like theirs.

No other first world-adjacent nation that is not currently actively engaged in a actual boots on the ground warfare gets even remotely close to being this bad.

Because if they turn the EU into MEGA land then Trump's cronies will make a pretty penny.

Why does the MAGA movement have those idiot blondes everywhere? The white house press bitch, Mrs. Kirk,...

18

Obviously it's more complicated than only this one thing, but the most compelling theory I've heard about it basically goes: if you want to be a prominent woman in the maga movement you have to prove that you accept that you are inferior and not threatening to the men, by playing up this extreme and debasing kind of hyper femininity. In Bed with the Right has a great episode about this and some related ideas.

16

Intelligent independent women wouldn't support MAGA, and they promote the blonde white women because they are white-supremacists.

9

They all want to get into Trump's good graces by emulating his favorite look on a woman: that of the teenage daughter that he pretty much openly bragged about raping

6

That's okay, conservatives want the blonde at home and in media, but they actually prefer to mack on women from outside their ranks as those are often perceived as more interesting and fun.

What's he up to these days, anyway? Has the black ichor that used to be his brain finished leaking out of his head yet?

Yeah, you're right, that's the best thing.

Still, I got curious and looked it up: the most notable things lately were that he got disbarred two years ago, got injured in a car wreck last year, and had a bad case of pneumonia last month (unfortunately, he apparently recovered).

2

I forgot about the lung problems.

Giuliani let the Ground Zero rescue/recovery workers go into the pile without respirators. The lower Manhattan real estate people didn't want people knowing how much asbestos etc. was still in the air. Dozens of police, fire, and EMS people have died of 9/11 disease.

Rudy never did anything for them, never went to one funeral, never raised any money for them or spoke before Congress to get funding.

When he got sick he claimed it was because of the time he spent at Ground Zero.

Seriously, fuck that guy.

Given how ecstatic she seems since he’s gone, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it turns out that she was involved.

I entertain this idea but also possibly him being a domineering asshole and now she's free of him like Melania will probably be when the Big Beautiful Day comes.

6

There was a ton of conjecture either way about it at the time. I'd go and look at the wiki about it because it's genuinely a bit of a weird situation.

8

They really don't like the Europe since it went "apes together strong" and even more since USA did the classic "my way or the highway" and EU pulled out a map to find the nearest highway. Now they need to blast it any chance they get.

9

By an isrealy psyop most likely. He wasn't shot but instead had a mic bomb explode on him. That's why they poured concrete on the floor he died at the next day, to clear the evidence of shrapnel. Or so i heard.
