Today is the day we say goodbye to my childhood home. Soon to be demolished by Georgia Power for the data centers. Thank you to ALL of you, we wouldn’t be so gracious about it if it weren’t for all the support.
If after reading the UVU after-action report, your conclusion is that "it's nothing," and that UVU is the only source to blame, your credibility is TORCHED.
Anyone reading from an objective point of view would agree that ALL parties failed Charlie Kirk that day. No one is claiming that UVU or UVU police acted without fault, it seems they certainly should not have compromised on TPUSA demands.
However, and this is the main problem, ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY for TPUSA or Charlie Kirk's security team is completely unacceptable. Dan Flood failed that day, and leading up to it. Maycee Crofts failed that day, and leading up to it.
In his book Collapse, Jared Diamond studied a dozen societies across thousands of years, from the Maya to the Vikings, to answer one question: why do great civilizations fall? What he found wasn't drought, war or bad luck. None of those were ever enough on their own. The one thing present in every collapse was how the people at the top responded to what was happening below them.
The warning sign he found again and again was leaders who were completely insulated from the pain of ordinary people. When the powerful never feel the consequences, they stop seeing the problem, and when they stop seeing it, they stop fixing it. The Maya kings kept enriching themselves and building monuments while the farmers who fed them went hungry. Their civilization didn't fall because of one bad year. It fell because the people in charge had stopped living in the same world as everyone else.
Diamond called them "distant managers." They are the people in power who live so far from the damage that they are the last to understand how bad it has gotten. By the time they notice, the fields are already empty.
His most important finding was that collapse is a choice. Every society that fell had leaders who could have changed course and chose not to. The question for us is whether we will keep letting people who can't see us make that choice for us. Because we are there folks.
@bennyjohnson Are you telling me that you think he meant physically bash him? Or beat him? Is that what you're saying? Trump deserves to be criticized. Surely you are intentionally misrepresenting him and not being serious.
Dont worry guys the guy who went to kiddie diddler island and lied about it is having a fun time at the taxpayer funded gala while you work 2 jobs to stay alive
@Joshua_the_car I wish any of that had been asserted months ago, or even a year ago. I don't know. There is just no clarity being given. TPUSA is still not good at communicating.
@gentrywgevers Dear X user, whether you hate Candace or simply believe she is a demon, blah blah, go read the report for yourself. Do not trust anyone else to tell you what it says. It is time to base your opinions on your own research or wait for TPUSA to cover it. They won't.
