@CathyYoung63 This is all a product of the incentives created by social media algorithms to spread misinformation, inflame outrage, and create division for clicks, the same things that likely drove Tyler Robinson to murder. I'm out.
English
God knows I have massive disagreements with Ryan Grim, but yeah: Be like Ryan. Definitely don't be like Wajahat and keep digging.
English
I'm taking @GovCox advice and ducking out of this website for a while. Social media algorithms are turning everyone either into attention seeking assholes or murderers.
English
@JB1363097060396 @CathyYoung63 I mean the one on Wednesday when he, not knowing anything about the murderer, jumped in to blame the left.
English
@JB1363097060396 @CathyYoung63 Definitely less inflammatory than what the President said.
English
@Conservative_X1 @neontaster No, but the advent of television probably didn't help.
English
@neontaster Did the internet cause the political violence in the 60s?
English
I know some people won't like to hear this, but I think the main problem here isn't this killer's ideology. It's that the internet radicalizes people to do increasingly greater violence on a scarily regular basis and nobody really knows what to do about it.
English
@mattyglesias They also still push the lie that the man who smashed in Paul Pelosi's skull was his gay lover.
English
@JamesSurowiecki Don't forget the anti-vaxxer who shot up the CDC headquarters in Atlanta and killed a police officer in the process.
English
In the last six years, radicals on the right massacred 23 people, mostly Latinos, in an El Paso Walmart, and murdered 10 black people in a Buffalo supermarket, and murdered three black people in a Jacksonville Dollar General. They are a problem.
Keith Woods@KeithWoodsYT
Trump asked to disavow radicals on the right: "I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem" Absolutely correct response. Killer is now confirmed as another antifa terrorist.

@AutoPap That kind of reminds me of my cat when he stretches out his legs and arches his back

@lymanstoneky Here in Arizona there have been a ton of instances where parents are using homeschool payments for things that are decidedly not educational expenses. This idea would create a nightmare for the IRS and force many compliant taxpayers to go through audits
English
Congress could very easily rewrite the section of the tax code which prohibits homeschooling parents from claiming the educator expenses tax deduction.
It's a small deduction, but the exclusion of homeschoolers is an insult, and fixing this would be a nice small way to honor Kirk's desire to revitalize American family life.
ThePersistence@ScottPresler
The sheer amount of teachers celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination should make every parent in America consider homeschooling their children.

@ZaidJilani And a few years later, he returned the favor by convincing enough Southern senators to extend the minimum wage to domestic workers, a cause she supported.
English
Well actually Shirley Chisolm the first black woman elected to Congress made a point to visit with Wallace after he was shot. Wallace, who survived, apparently wept and wept when Chisolm commiserated with him.
Matt Lech@MattLech
Goo goo ga ga. George Wallace was also doing it the right way to these folks.
English
@CathyYoung63 And naming it after Charlie Kirk is just something
English
This isn't going to happen, but wow, just great. The First Amendment, what is it
English
@avidseries Also ironic; the same outrage-rewarding social media algorithms that earned Kirk his living also radicalized his murderer.
English
@jessesingal I do vaguely remember the one about black pilots making the rounds here a while ago.
English
1/ There's something strange going on with people just making up Charlie Kirk quotes that are then spreading to other platforms. If you google the "we need armed militias" quote all the hits are from the last couple days

I don’t think anyone on the right WANTED Paul Pelosi to be attacked with a hammer or thought it was morally justified.
But it was funny that they tried to make him out to be a Republican when he was a schizoid Berkeley nudist.
Kim Iversen 🇺🇸@KimIversenShow
How many people on the Right made fun of elderly Paul Pelosi when he was attacked with a hammer? I don’t really think there’s any room for one side to claim the other is worse.
English
What Robinson told his family members is also REAL relevant.
Also REAL relevant: a groyper would have accused Kirk of not spreading enough hate.
Leila (rhymes with tequila)@leilaclaire
I don’t want to be the first person to point this out, but to gamers “Bella Ciao” was not a song sung by “anti-fascists” but a collectible and the background music in a main quest in Far Cry 6, which is probably REAL relevant given his other gaming references
English
@Mike_M_Klotz I imagine one hairpin turn will cause it to split in half
English
@MikeBrennan330 @baseballcrank Osama Bin Laden tried to take out Bill Clinton in Manila by rigging explosives on a bridge his motorcade was set to go over and under Obama, a man fired a gun at the white house
English
@PoundstoneWill @baseballcrank I was specifically asking about Democrat Presidents. Examples?
English
When you try to blame assassination on the target being politically strident, recall that there were two assassination attempts in a month on GERALD FORD, maybe the least strident & polarizing president of modern times.
English
@CathyYoung63 @lxeagle17 Wikipedia says he was an evangelical believer in Qanon and all the other bullshit
English
@lxeagle17 Not sure about the Paul Pelosi attacker - he was just a random mentally ill guy, no? (What's more relevant is that a lot of people on the right mocked the attack.)
English
Political violence isn't an issue limited to the left by any stretch of the imagination. The person who killed the two Minnesota lawmakers, the person that shot Trump, the person who attacked Paul Pelosi and the people that tried to kidnap Whitmer were on the right.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
The psychotic trans shooter gunning down Catholic kids in Minneapolis. The psychotic black homeless man stabbing the beautiful woman in Charlotte. And now an assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk. The reckoning we need is more profound than you can imagine.
English
@theliamnissan No need to remember, they still claim it was
English
Remember when the MAGAs (Donald Trump Jr.) said Paul Pelosi was gay and the hammer attack was a "lover's quarrel"?
English
@RichardHanania The 2012 election was preceded by rightoids regularly claiming Obama was turning America into a communist dictatorship
English
It's funny that rightists talk about how Romney was treated being what led us here.
Meanwhile, Romney himself thinks Trump is a disaster for the country, and is hated by Republicans.
Maybe people saying mean things is not a justification for becoming an authoritarian cult?
Mike Coté@ratlpolicy
You mean smearing your political opponent as a granny-murdering, healthcare-stealing, slavery-loving religious wacko? That politics? I'm pretty sure that the vitriol directed at Romney in 2012 is part of the reason that we're where we are today.
