    Mocking Donald Trump as well, last night Kimmel said on his show: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

    So all of this is political payback to the left for “canceling” people on the right. But the difference is, fashoids that were “canceled” and lost jobs were openly advocating for killing black and brown people and the poor.

        The director of the FCC went on Benny Johnson’s podcast and said that Jimmy Kimmel’s comments were “some of the sickest conduct possible”.

        “There are avenues here for the FCC, so there are some ways in which I need to be a little careful, because I could be called wholly to become a judge on some of these claims that come up.”

        “Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, we can do this the easy way, or these companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

          I think it has more to do with a media company that owns like 20 ABC local affiliate stations (Nexstar Media) deciding they were going to pre-empt Kimmel’s show. Not that it couldn’t be coordinated or that Nexstar saw the FCC director’s comments and decided to act.

        All the people like “oh this will blow over” need to look at things like this. It’s being whipped up into a big thing. The liberals are obediently going along with it, the bourgeois press has their marching orders and this action is clearly intended to send a message.

        But it’s just the start. This is part of a broader push to control and censor the internet. They’ve been trying to back-door it with porn ID laws and all kinds of obscure things but this gives them a chance to say the internet is radicalizing the youth into America-hating antifa terrorist extremists and therefore not only do we need ID laws for using online platforms but we need to repeal section 230, we need to outlaw encryption, we need to make all providers 100% legally liable for anything on their platforms even if they don’t know about it.

        It’s part of the longer-term trend of creating a great western firewall and censorship machine to control the narrative ahead of the grand conflict with China which will not merely be some naval battle in the SCS but a world war with color revolutions, palace coups, invasions and military action, and much more to do the utmost to isolate China and pull as much of the world as they can into America’s yard to be pillaged and have its wealth extracted. With worsening conditions in the imperial core and discontent among the youth about unemployment and life prospects the time has also come to put the police state into high gear as they’re about to give the proles in the core even less loot while stripping the walls, voiding the basic societal compacts of government responsibility for things like basic infrastructure and so on.

          This should have blown over. Normally the talking heads do their five minutes of fake tears about how tragic anyone’s death is (while ignoring all the other death and destruction going on in the country) and then move on to a segment about how a local entrepreneur is opening up an airbnb for rich people’s dogs or something.

          Instead, they’ve hyper focused on this, they tried to act like this is the worst thing to have ever happened on 9/11 in America (which is funny as shit), which means people are just confused, and even mad about the media’s focus on this, this doesn’t need to be in the media for so long, and this doesn’t need to result in so much censorship, people aren’t allowed to say a horrible person was a horrible person, even the media has failed to hide how shitty Kirk was from the people, and the more they try to censor this, the more blowback they’re likely to receive. They were trying to corral the public into the only acceptable opinions on this, but they screwed up massively.

          I think after Luigi last year, they are trying to control the narrative around this, after it got away from them last time (turns out even grillman doesn’t really mind when awful people who make the world a worse place are dead), so they’ve tried to push their narrative on things nonstop, but they really just made people find the whole thing suspicious.

          I do think you’re right that this is part of their goals to completely shut off any and all information that can challenge the western government’s narrative, but they screwed up bigtime, they went too big too fast, and forgot that they are supposed to slowly boil the frog.

          Sorry if this is a bit of a rambling response and doesn’t make much sense.

            Makes great sense, thanks for the comment. I’m enjoying this thread.

            I think the miscalculation of how quickly they pushed it will definitely result in more assassinations. They made it relatively easy to reach 9/11 tragedy and infamy.

        I think its because he bought the groyper assassin conspiracy theory and repeated it to the nation. But usually you’d just issue an apology over that. Not cancel the Buddy Friendly show.

      Smdh nazis don’t have a single original thought

      I saw people calling for a Black Sheriff from Georgia to lose their job after a facebook post saying he’d persecute people who called in a bomb threat to a Black collage, the online fash have really lost their minds

      also celebrating “1000 people lost their jobs” when theres however many hundred million people in the us&a, obviously this stuff is scary, and i went offline for a few days, but theyre using twitter interactions and calling them real life
