The White House Hunger Games: ThErE aRe No EpStEiN fILeS

[Swholli]

We all know the right lives in a fantasy land but it is wild to watch every major Democrat immediately condemn the violence, express sympathy for Charlies widow and family, and speak for what the left actually feels in this moment, only for right wingers to turn around and accuse those same people of orchestrating it. Liberals have been fighting against this exact kind of political violence for years, yet somehow they are the ones being blamed.

What it really shows is how deep in their own echo chamber the right actually is and always has been. They cannot imagine a world where people disagree without violence, because their entire political project is built on fear and domination. So when something horrific like this happens, they reflexively project their own impulses onto the left. It is insecurity dressed up as certainty, and it says way more about them than it ever could about us.

Edit: to clarify, any of the trollish, social media talking heads who did straight up celebrate his death aren't serious and you know it. Not that civility politics mean anything in this day and age, so I'm not saying a politician making a PR tweet is meaningful, it's just a PR tweet. But if we can't take what people say at face value anymore, were cooked anyway.

No, just that they don't deserve any sympathy.

I have bad news regarding Palestine

Show me any democrat leader, large media figure, or politician who has pushed for more political violence. Show me the left leadership doing anything comparable to what Annoying Orange and his roostersuckers are doing right now.

maxine waters comes to mind.

she had quite a bit to say from 2018 into 2021. i remember seeing clips of her gassing up black lives matter and other crowds of people enticing them to swarm people of Annoying Oranges cabinet and harass them. you couple that with the incessant coverage of george floyd and you get the BLM riots. then she got caught in hot water for threatening the jury of derek chauvins trial if they didn't vote guilty across the board. most of the democratic aisle supported or voice similar rhetoric to this

in the first clip she is telling people to bother them in public, which they absolutely should do :) that is organized protest and protected speech. i cant believe that was the best example you could find LOL

in the chauvin case, her exact words were this: ""We've got to stay on the street and we've got to get more active, we've got to get more confrontational, we've got to make sure that they know we mean business,", again NOT EVEN CLOSE to calling for violence

its so funny hearing this stuff from people who were undoubtedly laughing when paul pelosi got attacked and who love to make jokes about george floyd. when a Annoying Orange supporter literally drove around minnesota with a kill list two months ago and killed a state senator and her husband, and then injured another, Annoying Orange wouldnt even pick up the phone and call them lol. mainstream figures on the right love to glorify political violence until it happens to them

after black lives matter had already torn through multiple towns over the past year in regards to this case. how do you think radical people will interpret "get more creative, get more confrontational" after something like that? she doesn't need to explicitly say "continue burning down cities and attack citizens" to influence mob mentality into more dangerous behavior. thats why people criticize this kind of rhetoric. just because its not explicitly worded to promote violence doesn't mean what she said won't sell the same idea to easily influenced people.

its so funny hearing this stuff from people who were undoubtedly laughing when paul pelosi got attacked and who love to make jokes about george floyd.

people joke about the paul pelosi incident because of how absolutely bat stuff insane it is. some guy manages to get inside the pelosi's house in the middle of the night and have some kind of confrontation with paul that obviously took time and didnt result in immediate danger, then the cops show up, paul answers the door in his underwear smiling, he doesn't seem to freak out till he gets hit, and he survived. people make fun of george floyd because the united states took a collective stuff over this guy who ended up being a drug addict with a criminal past that has become such a chartable pattern that its just exhausting at this point. the absurdity of these situations is humorous in the same way 9/11 is because of how unexplainable and outlandish they are. charlie kirk is just sad cause it was in public in front of thousands of people at a university and he was a family man that was by all accounts a normal guy. people are able to self insert themselves into his shoes. most people cant self insert in paul pelosi's situation or george floyds because no ones going to burn down the country for them if they were killed and most people dont live some shady forgeted up politican life that would even lead to a guy hammering them in the face

either way, regardless how anyone feels about political violence, you are lying to everyone and yourself if you're really going to try spinning the narrative that only one side is guilty of it

this, 100%

and it's not like it's anything new, it's been going on for decades - it's just gotten to more extreme measures in recent years, mostly due to sensationalist media hyping things up.

for example, when I was growing up, racism wasn't really thing - very rare and unheard of. It wasn't until recent years the term started getting thrown around again so often,
and now a person who loves their country and wants to keep hold of traditional American values, for example: exercising their freedom of speech, is labeled a tribal or a national socialist.

[Masterlegodude]

"A person who wants to uphold tribal traditions is labeled a tribal"

And water is wet

[Masterlegodude]

Freedom of speech does not mean a white guy can shout the N word or vague national socialistsms for fun and it'll just be accepted

[Masterlegodude]

If you're gonna come up with excuses for why people should be able to exercise out of date American traditions like a twitter lobotomite, at least be funny about it

And yes, this did warrant 3 posts as i am on my phone and wanted to post while these thoughts were still fresh in my mind and editing is a pain on mobile

You're not serious

[Swholli]

but this picture of him tells me everything I need to know

"we can always tell"

[mod-man]

You're not serious

you don't understand what it means to be human

[Masterlegodude]

you don't understand what it means to be human

Ironic that you say this, because saying the N word is literally de-humanizing black people, ergo, lacking in humility

No other word in the english dictionary has 'your people were our slaves and objects for human trafficking for centuries' as it's lore

What a stuffty tradition to want to uphold

How about we just throw a bunch of tea into the ocean instead

wait wait wait... which N word are we talking about here?

EDIT: actually who cares. you care i know that but i dont care and i would wager to say most black people dont care either unless you're looking to get your ass kicked lol
