if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people

Btw the fact that we're getting this much more noise about the humanity of a man who spent his life doing nothing but advocating for mass murder, than we do for any migrant or trans kid having their life torn apart or the students killed today, says a lot about who's allowed to be seen as human

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

β€œSure the FBI and CIA broke all sorts of laws in the past, but they can’t do that now because there’s laws against it.” Incredible stuff. Absolute baby brain.

This is basically an object lesson in why Big Tent ideology is worthless dead-end bullshit, you can't have a coherent party with a coherent platform when one of your guys is making a queer rights legal hotline and the other is doing podcasts with nazis and agreeing that they have some good points

Ok, then RICO charges for everyone in the forums who knew about this. Actually, maybe we should just charge everyone who holds crypto just to be safe
