Every single bit of cheating in Celtic’s favour domestically this season - Thread
Get this retweeted far and wide. It was as sinister as ever this season
If we want to stop political violence like what happened to Charlie Kirk, we have to be honest about the people who are celebrating it and the people who are financing it.
My closing remarks on today's episode of the Charlie Kirk Show:
A great mentor once told me that the greatest insights usually come from noticing what's not there.
You know what I notice? Never once since Charlie Kirk was assassinated have I worried about the possibility of riots, burning of cities, "autonomous zones" or violence in the streets.
And this is for a decent family man murdered in cold blood for his political opinions.
In the summer of 2020, all of those things happened across America and many other countries too. Over a career criminal who died in a police interaction with a negligent and careless cop. Politicians kneeled, media organisations held minutes of silence and billions were given to BLM in the very days that their supporters burned down entire districts of American cities and killed people to "fight racism". To this day there has not been a shred of evidence presented that George Floyd's death had anything to do with racism.
So no, I don't believe either party has a monopoly on political violence. We've seen left wing politicians attacked and killed too. It's just as awful and just as wrong.
But I also think it's worth noticing what's not there and thinking about why.
“We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear”
Free speech is essential but YOU can’t be advocating for free speech when you’ve made the police arrest pensioners and priests in the fucking street over the last few months
What a morally bankrupt CUNT you are
I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.
But we aren't "one people" are we?
The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.
We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.
I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.
And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.
I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.
It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.
Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.
And the other side murdered him.
Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.
I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.
Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.
I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.
I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.
I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.
There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.
But then there will be a reckoning.
My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.
So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.
Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.
Ours is just beginning.
A society that burns neighbourhoods and calls for the defunding of the police for the guy on the left and largely ignores the public butchering of the woman on the right is one that is drowning in the infinity pool of Suicidal Empathy.
Was the most underwhelming appointment. Nobody was excited, but as usual you get behind whoever is in charge and give your full support. Another failure. He can’t recover from this. If he had any self respect he’d resign.
