"It Could Happen Here" did an episode on #CharlieKirk and what information we actually have. It's a few days old, but I'm not sure we've gotten any more clarity.

In het debat vinden veel mensen het moeilijk dat je tegelijk de moord op Charlie Kirk verschrikkelijk vindt en afkeurt, maar ook tegelijk zijn gedachtengoed en acties verwerpelijk vindt. Rechts grijpt helaas zijn moord aan om de persoon en zijn verderfelijke gedachtengoed te verheerlijken.

Just randomly remembering the time Charlie Kirk was asked at one of his college talks if the obvious Nazi salute Elon Musk did was a Nazi salute but then refuses to mimic the Nazi salute that Elon Musk obviously did.

I’m not gonna lie. I’m glad Charlie Kirk is dead and I’m glad that he’s dead by the very kind of things, such as ridiculously prevalent gun ownership, that he promoted.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. Or gun.

1. There is no “transgender ideology”. Just people trying to be themselves.
2. Antifascist ideology is what most of us learned in school as “being a good citizen”

Can we just stop talking about Charlie Kirk, the Nazi? For some reason, it’s everywhere on Lemmy, and I’m honestly tired of seeing a Nazi pop up in my feed every other post. Fuck nazism. And fuck the whole “Megathread: Charlie Kirk” nonsense.

We're all really used to an FBI that is incredibly evil, but generally pretty competent. They have no problem using child sex offenders to infiltrate groups of clowns. They have no problem trying to convince civil rights leaders to commit suicide. They have no problem with sowing confusion within leftists groups and trying to get them to kill each other. They've always been radically anti-left, but they've also always been competent.
Fabricating evidence in a really obvious way would always have been off the table because they wouldn't be willing to throw a case. But those competent people have been pushed out of the FBI. It's now Kash Patel's clown show. It serves the whims of the regime above all else. It will sacrifice decades of hard built trust for a quick win, because no one involved is competent enough to understand the consequences of such actions.
In the past, they may have used torture to elicit a confession. They may have entrapped people. They could have deleted exonerating evidence, but they would probably not have just completely manufactured obviously fake evidence just to forward the regime's narrative. I don't think that we've seen anything like this, at the very least in our lifetimes.
We have to foster a new level of skepticism, far beyond what we have been used to... and this is especially true of Liberals, who still don't understand the level of corruption and incompetence in local law enforcement today.

Don’t look for the Charlie Kirk shooting video. I’ve done trauma ER work and …. Damn.
#CharlieKirk #shooting
Moorden op politici zijn afschuwelijk, juist de mensen waar je het meeste mee oneens bent moet je het beste beschermen, tegelijk is het verschil in hoe wordt omgegaan met de moord op het gekozen parlementslid, Melissa Hortman en de activist Charlie Kirk wel erg groot.

This shooting has been the most 21st century-esque political assassination yet. "You are gay if you read this, LMAO" wrriten on bullets. What the hell.

People keep trying to point to an event where the "right/left" political violence thing got out of hand. You cannot point to anywhere in US history where the right hasn't been murdering leftists. It has never happened.
They've been talking about civil war since they lost the last one, and most of US politics before that was just trying to prevent the first one.
There isn't a wave of right/left violence. Right wing violence has just gone unchecked for so long, and been so accepted, that now they're killing each other regularly. The Trump assassination attempts were all from the right. #CharlieKirk was killed by another fascist for not being fascist enough.
Fascists have so completely taken over that they see each other as legitimate targets because they've run out of "leftists" worth murdering. That's the story. That's what people can't wrap their heads around.
Everyone is worried about the right wing response, worries about right wing escalation, but they called for civil war over the cracker barrel logo. They're already maxing out their base. All the proud boys and other Nazis are already hired by ICE. They're also already going as hard as they can. They don't need any excuses. They have total control of everything. This bumbling mess is *the best they can do.* They call for civil war every few days.
We're not seeing a war between the left and the right. We're seeing a war between the right and the far right, where both side opportunistically punch left when they can and liberals help them justify their actions.

Charlie Kirk really is leaning left on the gun issue!

Remember a few weeks ago I made a Facebook account with the intent of only using it for Marketplace because there are no good options around here for selling stuff.
I can happily report that zuck has not sucked me into his algorithm! But that doesn't mean I haven’t noticed his algorithm at work.
I happened to tap the 'home' button yesterday.
You know what it was?
Charlie Kirk
literally top to bottom.... every story and post was about him. Nothing close to my community. Nothing related to anything else.
Just Kirk.
holy ____ am I glad to be on Mastodon/Fediverse. And god we are so ____ as long as billions of people are exposed to that place.
And just to be clear... my only activity on there is through Marketplace. I don't have any friends, no groups, nothing else that I think would impact the algorithm. So as far as I know, I'm a virgin user to FB's algorithm. And that's what I got.

I’ll celebrate a Nazi’s death any day of the week, though you won’t catch me putting it in Google Calendar. Knowing them, they’d probably reschedule it to ‘Nazis Appreciation Day’ and then sell my joy as an ad preference.

Oh my, the shooting was horrible, right in the middle of him speaking. Just, snuffed out. A human being gone just like that. I once saw someone make an analogy to human death like that, being able to kill a human so simply is like destroying the empire state building with a ball of paper.

It would be ironic if the shooting of a right wing influencer lead right wing US gov to 'taking aim at Big Tech algorithms' (interesting choice of words CBC!) and embrace the Fediverse perhaps!
“At the news conference, [Republican Governor] Cox... addressed young people specifically….. "Social media is a cancer," he said. "And I would urge people to log off, turn off and touch grass.””

If you had any doubts about
a) how perfectly in sync Charlie Kirk's and the US Administration's hate rhetoric is.
b) how important the 'youth' demographic is to the US Administration/GOP's long term plan.
this should dispel them.

One of the things it stressed is that we really don't know the motivation at this point. I think we're closer to "extremely online and weird" but we can't really say "he's a Groyper." I think this is pretty likely, but we should be honest that we don't actually know.
This is where I think it's important to realize we're operating in two spaces: reality and the meme space. The right now longer has a separation between the two. The meme they want to spread to attack the left is that it was some how associated with leftists (especially trans folks), so this is the meme they believe.
It's useful, on a memetic level, to disrupt this. The Groyper meme is a pretty solid response. But, at least as far as I'm aware, we're still not sure that's true. But we don't have to collapse meme space and reality. We have absurdism.
We don't know if he's a Groyper, or even a far right troll, for sure anyway. But we do know that #JeffryEpstein killed #CharlieKirk. #TheTruthIsOutThere #ReleaseTheFiles! #FreeLuigi
