If facts and critical thinking stopped fascism world war 1 would still be called “the last great war” instead…

Hell, even if just appeasing fascists worked, there wouldn’t have been a world war 2.

But the only way to stop fascism is violence. In a good government, the government does it.

In a fascist government…

It’s usually another country’s military who steps it. And that’s a worse result for everyone involved.

Other articles say the device wasn’t functional and “hoax weapons of mass destruction” (what the fuck does that mean?) were found at their home.

But this information is coming from the FBI, and they already had a huge problem with undercover agents pushing for this type of stuff and building unfunctionable explosives to charge the people who were never doing anything to begin with.

Especially in this climate with the people trump has running the FBI …

It’s not just nativity, it’s willfully ignorance to just blindly believe and repeat claims made by the US government.

No rational person is going to take Trump’s government at their word

This governor keeps flipflopping on

Don’t listen to unsubstantiated rumors

When it looks bad for maga, but is the absolute first in line with a megaphone anytime he can blame “the left”.

Literally days ago he wouldn’t shut up about how no one should pay attention to anything until it’s confirmed after previously repeating false claims.

The performance was held at the Paradiso Grote Zaal. The venue released a statement on Sunday saying it “believed in the power of artistic freedom”.

“Music – and especially punk – is an art form that traditionally magnifies anger, discontent, and injustice without a filter,” it said.

“In a world on fire, artists sometimes choose language that sounds confrontational or violent.”

Addressing the singer’s calls for the death of IDF troops, the venue said it shared “the outrage and concern surrounding the genocidal violence taking place in Gaza” and that “Bob Vylan’s raising his voice against this is legitimate and necessary”.

Punk has always been anti-fascist because fascists and punks compete for the same follower base, and overlap is unavoidable unless one side draws a very hard line about what’s acceptable.

The fascists want to be able to say whatever they want under 1st amendment, but have always lost their shit when people say the same shit about fascists the fascists say about innumerable target demographics.

Fuentes has been sending his followers to antagonize Kirk for years…

Because they think MAGA should use violence instead of words, and Kirk isn’t extreme enough for them.

He’s not being “framed”, it’s just all the information coming it out makes it look like this is just more maga on maga violence.

Especially with higher academia, they still think we live in a world where authority is respected.

So given the choice between “anonymous account” and “Dr ____, Professor of ____ at ____” it shouldn’t be surprising they’re putting way too much info online.

But yeah. Absolutely no one should be putting any of that info online.

We’re all looking for the guy who did this…

In 2022, the women won a court ruling against their own government. South Korea’s Supreme Court ordered the government to compensate dozens of women for the trauma they endured as “comfort women for the U.S. military,” as they were once known. The court found the government guilty of encouraging prostitution for American G.I.s to help bring in badly needed U.S. dollars for the economy and maintain ties with the United States, on which it relied for security. It also said the government forced many women to receive treatment for sexually transmitted diseases in a “systematic and violent” way.

The latest lawsuit, which was filed at a Seoul court on Friday, was the first attempt by the women to hold the U.S. military accountable. The women and their lawyers said that the U.S. military was “the real culprit” in what was a state-sponsored sex trade, even allowing comfort women inside its bases and near its field training grounds.

So, Korea forced them into sexual slavery…

And now some of the victims are suing the US government, because some women managed to get on base, and “near” a training area?

Like, it depends on the base, but for lots of them there’s not really any security. Even if the driver does have to show an ID, they rarely check everyone’s.

It’s absolutely horrible what happened to those women, but this lawsuit won’t work

He was one of the first ones to call it a political assassination, long before we knew anything about it…

He immediately jumped on the bandwagon that “the left” had done it, which was disinformation and legitimized the further bullshit he’s now unhappy with.

He shit his pants and now wants everyone to look around for the source of the smell.

You can’t fight what you don’t understand…

But it’s fucking insane the pushback you get most of the time for digging deeper than “they’re evil”.

Like, even if the goal is just playing them against each other instead of reforming them, they’re easily manipulated, but you at least need to know what they want

MAGA is eating MAGA all over, it’s not one movement, it’s a very loose coalition of crazy assholes.

All indication is the shooter was a follower of the Nick Fuentus sect:

They’ve been beefing with Kirk and his followers because they think he isn’t pro-trump enough. The veneer that he’s having “discussions” has been enough for them to send protesters in the past, a large reason why he stopped doing these.

Then he wouldn’t shut up about Epstein after Trump said too…

Now hes dead

trump can’t control all the different factions, when they fight each other he can’t do shit to stop it. It’s a bunch of warring tribes all trying to show trump they love him the most.

Question wasn’t directed at you

I mean, it literally was…

That’s how replies work.

But Id be really surprised if explaining helps.

I’m not Bernie Sanders…

Strangely enough, it’s looking like Kirk got shot for not being Nazi enough…

That’s not stopping them from trying to use it to instigate a war though

Danny “Dimes” is what his teammates called him as a Rookie on the Giants.

Because he was “throwing dimes”, or perfect passes. But only when he was throwing perfect passes, which as the #6 overall pick he should have always been doing.

He hated the nickname, and it seems pretty obvious his teammates were fucking with him. But after being traded to a new team, beating out the guy who was supposed to be the face of the team for starting QB and a recent top 10 pick, and then playing an amazing week 1 people are using it again.

So definitely a deep cut, and I’m honestly I’m surprised it took this long for someone to ask. I think a lot of people just blindly upvoted.

But Daniel Jones is known for “throwing dimes” and this guy’s dad “dropped a dime”.

Mormons aren’t going to support murder

…

Have you heard, like, anything about Mormanism?

Quick edit:

Like, too many examples for me to possibly list them all, but Netflix made a whole TV show about this one:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_Massacre

The Mountain Meadows Massacre (September 7–11, 1857) was a series of attacks during the Utah War that resulted in the mass murder of at least 120 members of the Baker–Fancher wagon train.[1][a] The massacre occurred in the southern Utah Territory at Mountain Meadows, and was perpetrated by settlers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) involved with the Utah Territorial Militia (officially called the Nauvoo Legion) who recruited and were aided by some Southern Paiute Native Americans.[2] The wagon train, made up mostly of immigrant families from Arkansas, was bound for California, traveling on the Old Spanish Trail that passed through the Territory.

Rock and a hard place…

If he says he’s LGBTQ, the church disowns him and Utah will push for death penalty again.

His best bet is to double down on Mormonism and say he did it for all the reasons Kirk and MAGA go against the Mormon teachings.

Which again, worst case scenario for trump because he can’t afford to lose Utah and the Mormon church controls Utah politics.

We’re gonna have to see how the next week goes, but this could lead to a huge fracture ahead of midterms. Republicans have a 6 seat lead, and 4 seats in Utah are up in 2026.

I have a feeling this isn’t the only exchange where reading comprehension has left you questioning what you just read…

You may be better off not trying to read into what someone might mean. And focus on what they actually said.

For example:

Turning Point USA CEO and co-founder Charlie Kirk said of gun deaths on April 5, 2023, “I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/charlie-kirk-gun-deaths-quote/

If Charlie Kirk could answer, he’d say this is just something we have to accept and not dwell on…

You can still ask him if you want, he just can’t answer.

And according to his personally held opinions, no one should be concerned that he can’t answer.

They have 100 billion in a “wealth fund” for the church, about 40% of which is in the US stock market.

The members of their church are also incredibly submissive and will do whatever their church leaders say, including voting.

Republicans have a very thin majority in both the House and Senate.

Losing the Mormon church, would mean trump loses majority in both. And would prevent a Republican from becoming president.

They’re a very large and important bloc of the Republican party.

That was before they knew who he was…

They want a Black transexual with blue hair, and they got a white suburban kid from a prominent Mormon and Republican family…

Maga is scared shitless of the Mormon, if they break away Republicans are fucked without Utah.

And their more loyal to a random member of their own church than to trump. trump is going to quickly pivot to wanting everyone to stop paying attention by Monday.
