The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Lexx's topic in Way Off-Topic
I think the thing that strikes me the most about the beatiification of Kirk (apologies to @Malcador for stealing it, but it fits too well) is how little of it outside of the anti-reality bubble of fascists and adjacents (who think Kirk being a propagandist is based and good) actually features Kirk's own words. Kirk is probably one of the most recorded men in history but there many are columns from "respectable" liberals and centrists that somehow manage to not include a single word of his when eulogizing him. It's insane to me how suddenly we have to pretend a guy who had been showing us just who he is for a decade is someone completely different. Obviously I don't think he should have been killed (hello Kash). It's a decent explanation of how most reactionary media works, but the people who need it most extend the benefit of the doubt to people in the orbit Kirk was a part of out of ideological motivations rather than logical. The right generally and Trumpworld specifically have made particular podcasts their go-to media engagements. It'd be a surprise if he wasn't. -

I think it may not even last a month. Yeah, the kid is almost certainly a Groyper who hated Kirk for being a different kind of reactionary. If you look into it, left-wing extremist acts typically involve more property damage while right-wing goes for body count. I understand that it'll upset some people, but I could give a **** about broken windows or red paint when compared to people dying. -
As I see it there are three possibilities.

For me the the irony, you know beyond Kirk thinking empathy is new age degeneracy, or his belief that shootings like his own are an acceptable consequence for the 2nd amendment, or that he was in the middle of blaming mass shootings on "the gangs" right as he was shot, is that only in death was he able to attain what he had spent his life chasing: widespread attention. And even that is going to be fleeting, Charlie Kirk won't be remembered at all within a year, he wasted his entire life being performativly vile only to leave behind a few "owning the libs" compilations as a legacy. A miserable end for a miserable man. Anyways if Charlie were still here he'd downplay the shooting and float a conspiracy. But **** that guy. -

I can't think of a degree to describe how pathetic it is to obsess this much and in this way over videogame characters. -

Dexter Resurrection - Dexter is back to being the Punisher and is feuding with an evil(er) Wall Street guy who is obsessed with serial killers and is also Peter Dinklage with Uma Thurman as an enforcer. It's ok but still has all the same problems as the original Dexter series post s2. -
All of Dan Da Dan s2 - so far Man, what the **** even is this show? I say that completely positively, it's wonderfully animated and certainly knows how to keep everything rolling without falling into the worst shonen tropes like 10+ episode training arcs. It's like someone made an anime of a supernatural monster of the week US series that actually fixes the inherent issues with that type of show by both being more coherent and absurd.

I think the toxic positivity by AI and it's seeming inability to say the user is wrong somewhat explains the ideological fault lines behind it's use. Also AI art is derivative soulless **** that appeals to the fascist aesthetics of the contemporary right, half-baked dreams of an idealized past that never really existed. -

Sometimes unintentionally he's funny, but not in the way he'd like to be. -

https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/trump-burger-owner-deportation-ice/285-0d9ef249-0b88-4534-86eb-b3f301560da1 This is more local news and perhaps belongs in the funny thread, but I do not think there is perhaps a clearer example of the face eating leopards eating the faces of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party supporters. -
Dandadan s2 Jennifer Lopez Anaconda is a top tier anime attack name, up there with Star Gentle Uterus and Space Ripper Stingy Eyes.

Here in Texas we beat them to it. I guess you can always become a temporary resident of Canada for the time being. -
