@GoodPoliticGuy Implying criticism of the Israeli Government as criticism against the religion when those critiques touch on immutable evidence of continued war crimes & human rights violations. Probably the biggest insult to Judaism you can give while implying it's in their nature. It's not.
@_SAFirst_@Trump_Jr_GC1 They own a majority of our national debt and were crucial to the building our coast to coast Intercontinental railway that we still depend on.. They have always felt this way. The change happened after WW2. Not with China. With us through the red scare.
@Zorin_CEO@urbanmyths@RpsAgainstTrump Strawmaning any broad group makes you specifically the threat to society regardless of the group fyi. Civic Republicans are to the left of all Democrats. Literally every last one. The only reason I'm on the left is because you all drifted that far into right-wing extremism...
@Jimwagoner99360@urbanmyths@RpsAgainstTrump The ultimate respect for the victims and families is preventing this sort of thing from happening to anymore families in these circumstances. Suppressing the voices trying to act is the reason we're here today dealing with the same problems as before with more victims.
@urbanmyths@RpsAgainstTrump And/Or deal with the kinds of people who have access to said guns and actually addressing the mental health crisis in this country. People engaging in the same stochastic terroristic rhetoric are 1-step removed from this and are the ones who shouldn't ever have access to guns..
@RpsAgainstTrump These ppl really don't know who the real sleeping bear of this nation is huh? Not only is this an attack on the richest Church in the world's congregation. But one whose history specifically fought off genocide from extremist in high positions of power.. they will shoot back.
It has nothing to do with his "message."
As I wrote in the linked:
The people behind this canonization campaign do not really care about Charlie Kirk or think he's all that. They are using his ghost to prop up the sanctity of Zionism, to gin up a "right-left" fight to forestall the "right-left" unity that has been coalescing in opposition to Israel and Zionism. It’s a reasonable discussion and potential alliance between leftists and right-populists over Israel...that Israeli and American Zionists are terrified of.
We’re in an unprecedented—and for the Zionists, unacceptable—situation where people on the MAGA “right”—perhaps even more than those on the liberal “left”—are concluding that Israel might have assassinated Charlie Kirk and was likely involved in the JFK assassination, that Jeffrey Epstein was running a Mossad op that may have entrapped Trump, and that the country wasted its blood and treasure in a succession of regime-change wars in the Middle East for the benefit of Israel.
That's why they're going much harder with this ridiculous mythification of Kirk as Israel’s angel than they did even with Trump after his assassination attempts. Not because the person is more important to them, but because the historical moment is—a moment in which Israel is going full indefensible “final solution” in Gaza and dragging the U.S. into another wasteful war with Iran, and most people in the world and in the United States are sick of it. In this moment, the narrative managers don't give a damn about Charlie Kirk; they're concerned about defending and preserving indispensable American support for Israel and Zionism.
The purpose of sanctifying Kirk is not to preach his gospel, but to recruit the Republican/MAGA base to a program of repression--whether or not any of this has anything to do with Charlie Kirk’s actual message when he was living.
So, to argue about Charlie Kirk is to miss the point. It’s like arguing about the hostages in Gaza. The people pushing this campaign care no more about him than Netanyahu does about them. One might say that he, or his ghost, is effectively now their hostage.

Demartravion “Trey” Reed was lynched & cops say “no foul play.” A Black man hanging in 2025 isn’t an accident. Days after white men marched to “fight back” for Charlie Kirk, Black folks are hunted again. America is rotting. Don’t let them gaslight us.
@jacksonhinkle Because the narrative is:
1. He shot Charlie
2. He disassembled the rifle
3. Placed it in his bag pack
4. Jumped off a roof
5. Ran into the woods AND reassembled the rifle
6. Then dumped the rifle for the FBI to find
Then he went home.
Make this make sense!
