Oxahath (He/Him)

No, but Conservatives are all pedophiles and pedophile protectors.

It's because we're the only platform with real people who won't hijack the comments to shill crypto or praise Hitler. So they have to grit their teeth and bear it.

At the same time, they can't just come out and say that since they're being paid by the guys running the crypto-and-Hitler sites.

I don't blame someone for not knowing about Kirk's works. You don't have to know him to say you don't approve his murder.

But this goes far beyond just saying he shouldn't have been shot. And at this point, any real reporter would feel an obligation to learn wth they're talking about. But not her..

Charlie the dog, in full lounge mode

Good night, Bluesky, here is a picture of a deeply relaxed dog to carry you through until we see each other again.

Conservatives love pretending they don't know how words work. It's about time more people got comfortable refusing to play their games and telling them that, no, they know damn well what he really meant.

Too many get derailed trying to explain basic grammar as if that will change minds.

I have a coworker who, every time you bring up news, is just, like "what? first I've heard of that guy."

I used to be annoyed but now my main feeling is that I should ask him if there's room under his rock

I feel like they knew it was only a matter of time until *someone* (who could plausibly be accused of being) on the left killed *someone* on the right and had the script all ready to go, just with spaces to fill in the names and dates. They just fired it off prematurely on this occasion.

I've had accounts here vociferously argue that he was this generation's Billy Graham

It says something that certain people have fallen so far into depravity that they view anything short of deliberate, premeditated evil as some sort of scam. Their brains are so broken that the idea of people actually being nice because they're nice is utterly alien to them.

That's the simple truth of it. Conservatives view everything through the lens of what people "deserve" in a moral sense. Good people deserve good things, bad people deserve bad things. So the idea you can think Kirk was a huge piece of shit and *not* be okay with his murder is blowing their minds.

I keep asking people on here who support Kirk (I know, I know, don't feed the trolls) which specific policy positions of his they are particular fans of and I have never once gotten a response that didn't immediately pivot to some irrelevant horseshit.

It seems so sad being you. You can only view the world through the lens of a zero-sum conflict. Where one doesn't exist, you make it up. You peddle easily-disproven lies for nothing more than getting a rise from Internet strangers who will forget you exist 30 seconds later.

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it to ... The conservative founder of Turning Point USA made the comments following a mass shooting in Nashville last week that resulted in six deaths.

Oh, I know, it must be when he said it didn't mater if people died in shootings on school campuses.

But I'm curious as to what part of his philosophy you found particularly Godly? Was it where he said Jews were ruining the country? Maybe it was the part where he said blacks and women were stealing jobs because they were less qualified than whites?

No one's afraid of Godly men. It's just that vile wretch of a man who wasted the gift of life on making the world as miserable and hate-filled as he was. He's resting safe in the afterlife with his true master in Hell.

I said to a friend in January that I really hoped we'd look back in six months and I'd have to admit that the people who accused me of being alarmist were 100% right and I was wrong.

I really, really wish I could say that today.

Hence the qualifier "considerably less" rather than the blanket statement "everyone here is sunshine and rainbows all the time."

People like TCW respect themselves just fine. They just think that you should have the respect for yourself that they have for *you*.

They expect everyone to take any degree of shit with a smile but will write a 1,000 word article whinging about randos who are mean to them on social media

People like TCW would watch a video of the Boston Massacre were it to take place today and chide the protestors for how rude they were to those nice Redcoats.

The appearance of decency is infinitely more valuable than its reality.

There's a weird dynamic where people have the arrogance of a social elite but a paralyzing need to still see themselves as "one of the regular guys" and be liked by the peasants.

It hurts their self image to realize they have more in common with the oligarchs than the working people.

The famous retiring wall-flower, Tom Nichols. Always so shy about engaging with the issues of the day.

It's remarkable how quickly your make-believe of being a "non-partisan centrist who just cares about *decency*" cracks under the smallest bit of pressure.

You can't argue that Kirk said anything wrong because you don't think he did. So you pretend you didn't see the question and move on.

by "undermine traditional values" you mean the Jews, right? It's always the Jews with you people. Same with Kirk. I've asked you multiple times about the things he said with his own mouth about how Jews and black are oppressing white men and got just crickets from you.

Spoken like someone whose never been to university before or talked to anyone who has. Might as well ask my opinion on whether the martian mole people have a good approach to urban planning. Your fictional world bares no resemblance to reality

If you want to debate whether sports_team_fan69@bluesky.com has a good opinion on murder, go right ahead. Just don't pretend it matters in any sense of the word. Just know, the Right has major figures who were literally baying for blood on 0 info so my tolerance for these games is limited

No, not really. I'm not sure why I would care that someone doesn't believe me about what my feed looked like three days ago.

It's a pattern we see time and time again. The Left has to answer for every 100-follower rando with a Lenin avatar and the Right doesn't have to answer for their own words

Tired of doom scrolling??

Don't worry, I've got you... 😊
