The moderate wing of fascism.
Hates Socialism
Is publically owned
Normally I only hand these out in the newsmega but today is a big day
Okay, I’m 100% stealing this for the next anticommunist getting owned.
BREAKING: In his final moments, Charlie Kirk received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
easily my favorite copypasta, amazed no one had posted before you
Mashallah

Trump said no gun control laws after charlie kirk death. Said its what he would have wanted. How touching
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/charlie-kirk-last-words/
Charlie Kirks last words:
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?
(the number is 2500)
KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence?
(then he gets shot)
think about how happy Matt felt to see one more squib!
I think he always wanted something like this but never expected to die. His whole thing was going on college campuses with private security and riling up the libs. It would have been appropriate for his brand had some woke college kid try to shoot him but then fail.
Good riddance though. Rest in piss. Enjoy hell, you utter piece of shit. One of the most rotten people to have ever lived. Professional racist, transphobe, and Zionism apologist. What a fucking waste of life and free will. Fuck that guy and I hope the rest of his reactionary ilk learn to shut the fuck up.
Libs already in overdrive rebranding him as a “free speech” champion. That and the usual slowjerk any time a right wing figure gets comeuppance
Motherfuckers would be out here like sure Goebbels was controversial, but first and foremost he was a husband and a father
but first and foremost he was a husband and a father
No, first and foremost he was a racist piece of shit and those kids are better off without him as a father figure.
First and foremost he is a corpse without a neck :)
Also like I might be blurring these types of figure together but didn’t something come out a few years ago that he was shitty husband, like shouting at his pregnant wife to buy her own ice cream
That was Steven Crowder IIRC
He’s not Goebbels level, maybe Streicher
maybe the shittiest possible Horst Wessel, but Ashli Babbit might have already taken that one
Maybe more of a Herbert Norkus
Hexbear Glup Shitto hours, who up?
CNN like “wow Hitler had a girlfriend, you know?”
Dog lover sadly takes own life
Fucking liberals
i read that his young kids were at the event so I do feel bad for them having to potentially witness that. crabs out for his death though still.
I hope the rest of his reactionary ilk learn to shut the fuck up.
They won’t shut up, they never do because they have the power and money
I mean the talking heads specifically. I know the actual capitalist ghouls have the power, but their little minion Torgos are endlessly annoying and provide nothing of value. I hate that simply being annoying and a fascist is a job now. I want Ben Shapiro to fear for his life now and disappear from the public. God I’d love that.
I’d like Ben Shapiro to disappear from the public in like, a gout of oily green flame
Yeah, they won’t shut up. It’s their job to whine and moan about everything.
As much as I hate to admit it, this is actually really bad
It was already really bad. I don’t think this will make anything worse. I mean, they would love to, bud there isn’t much more momentum to add here
Political assassinations happening more frequently is like, really bad. The rights response to this will be to double down on extremist rhetoric.
There’s no offramp here and it doesn’t end well
There are no communists anywhere near public figure status in America. While I disagree with campaigns of political assassination as a tactic, if people start killing politicians in America they’ll literally only be killing right wingers, just statistically speaking.
Private individuals can also be the target of stochastic terror, all fun and games until someone guns down your local food not bombs
Do we really think there wasn’t a decent chance of that in America before this happened? There’s right wing terror over there constantly. They have a whole government dedicated to it.
No, all these people should go the way of the Romanovs. Politics is fundamentally violence, it’s fine as long as your side wins the debate. Today the fascist lost.
They are already teying to go full nazi.
That has been a thing for a long time. This event isn’t going to be the last straw
Maybe, though if the killer is right wing, maybe a Fuentes fan, that could lead down some fun roads.
Megamind dying or reactionaries not shutting up?
The latter clearly, the former is profoundly enjoyable
Thought so, just curious!
Utah passing that Open Carry on College Campus law really ruined his grift.
Finally, a good guy with a gun
Here’s his last words:
“The first question was if Kirk knew how many mass shooters were transgender,” she said. “He said, ‘Too many.’”
A second question on the issue was asked. Before he could answer, he was shot, Pitts said.
He died doing what he loved, what can I say?
I’m probably too late for this correction to help, but he actually had another two seconds or so before the shot, which he used to concern-troll about “gang violence”.
I know we’re all living in a post-irony world, but
just spent months deploying the gestapo to Urban areas because of “crime” only for his most loyal apparatchik to get merked in exurban Utah.That’s a very funny way of looking at it
see if it’s this bad in Mormon land think how bad it is in commiefornia
https://www.yahoo.com/news/videos/witness-claims-alleged-charlie-kirk-195025695.html
Witness claims alleged Charlie Kirk shooter yelled “I’d do it again”
if you piece together what we know, that they arrested some old white guy and then said it wasnt him but were going to be charging someone with “obstruction of justice”, it appears that the boomer that people thought was the shooter was actually just a secondary protagonist making sure the shooter had a better chance to get away, what a king
Another right-wing podcaster has canceled a public event
spoiler
In the wake of the killing of conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot during a speaking event in Utah Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom has rescheduled a political event to rally support for his redistricting effort. The FAFO50 event was postponed until next week, according to Newsom’s political spokesperson Nathan Click.
A moment of silence for the Yankees who are losing 8-1 after having a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk
His anti-vaxx shit alone caused the deaths of unknowable numbers of children.
I want to say this should have happened sooner, but what I really believe is that people like him should never be able to spread such dangerous misinformation in the first place - it should never even have to come to this, because society should be so much more sensible.
