I have absolutely no idea who this guy is that died.

he had a big ass head, mostly

[Tucker's Law]

Dunno if I'm just "wet behind the ears" or something, but this whole thing is just fucking creepy and disturbing to me. Like after a point, I don't wanna touch any of it with a 50 foot pole. People cheering and making jokes of such a grisly and completely unnecessary assassination makes me feel like we're lying in a dystopia.

I did not care one bit for Charlie Kirk, but I wouldn't have ever wished that on him.

Eat shit and die, Resetera. You little sick pussies were mouse quiet over the transgender shooter who KILLED CHILDREN, nobody even uttered a single "good riddance bitch" or "rest in piss" a single time towards a literal murderer of children. But of course, now you demons have all the edgy jokes, bile, hatred, and shit talking for some conservative schmuck.

Orange Man Bad™ though, that excuses it all don't you realize?

[Rendle]

Also, Charlie is dead.

The way his head snapped backwards from the pressure of the blood spurting from the massive hole in his neck kinda gave it away

[DocWager]

Looks like a sharp shooter got him.

That’s like 60’s political sniping talent. Probably top ten if this was someone famous.

[Potato]

Well shit, that's a load more actors on the HP train...

Matt Berry completes the IT Crowd terf set I believe. But there's enough names here that I'm genuinely wondering if there is any big name actor left to be promoted as a tervert.

It's only been 10 days since the last TV casting announcement, but this is the audiobooks so I'm expecting the 4 weeks between announcements to hold on the show.

Need to ban discussion of ALL 200 actors on the site and ALL works associated with them. This is a genocide!!

 

I wonder if they're going to have another mass freak out when that show comes out, and start harassing random streamers and people on social media talking about the show.

And btw Hogwarts Legacy 2 is certainly in development so they have that to look forward to as well lol

How can you make a sequel to a game that doesn't exist?

People used to be far worse. That's what people like Nepenthe and the others regularly explain that they long for, to put an end to the false complexity the powerful rule us with.

Until some lib streamer gets shot and then political violence is bad again.

People in the 1950's were a lot poorer than we are. "Owning their house" and "only the man working" are doing heavy lifting in these fantasies because people are imagining modern homes and salaries which those people were not getting at all. These fantasies often also ignore all the things those people couldn't buy even if they made ten times the amount.

The 1950's "boom" only exists relative to the two decades of forced poverty that came before.

Tangential. There’s an old boat you can tour in Yokohama that details a voyage from Japan to America’s west coast. Something like two weeks at sea, tickets costing the price of a house, and the dirt poors were six to a room near the engine. They planned elaborate events to keep the passengers from going crazy. 

Now it takes 8 hours and it’s a couple hundred dollars. You’re fed an extra sodium Kid Cuisine and fall asleep watching the latest superhero dumpster movie. Wake up and you’ve travel across the planet, and you’ve got a hydrogenated meal biscuit to eat before landing. Life is pretty good.

I wonder how many televisions and subscription services boomers were able to afford in "the good ol' days"?

How did they even DoorDash their food?

[HaughtyFrank]

But has he considered that political violence gives resetera a short term endorphin boost?

[benji]

To be fair, the first one the FBI had a lot do with.

The replies are as reasonable as expected:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

[DavidCroquet]

In the comments:

"Fuck you Ezra, all of the supposedly 'leftist' attacks don't count, this is a right wing problem ONLY"
followed by...
"Fuck you Ezra, you KNOW that it is the left who incites all modern political violence. You should be in jail!"

repeat ad infinitum.

[benji]

Look when I said for allies to arm up and get in the streets, what I meant was to scare women who are children's book authors in shutting up not shoot lame podcasters.

Cleaning the stickers off my car.

Not triggering some gun nut fuck retaliating over this.

I mean, the person in question ACTIVELY and OPENLY called for violence against others. What did you think the political climate was? Do you think he was joking?

Well...yes? Based on the fact that he was, y'know, not killing anyone and instead doing dumb influencer things, as is the fashion. 

If everyone who suggests that "the baddies" need to get killed is to be considered a likely murderer, then ResetEra has a big problem on their hands.

[Uncle]

y'know...tomorrow is a special day as well

26th anniversary of the Dreamcast was yesterday…?

Was it vigilante violence he was calling for? Or state violence? The latter is something that few people, especially Era posters, consider violence.

We got more economic cosplay from our favorite admin!

Like, give me a simple syllogism on how my average lower-class American existence will be made worse by not saving these farms.

[HaughtyFrank]

My main reassurance is that if "it" didn't happen after Trump, it's not gonna happen after Charlie Kirk.

There's obviously a major difference between their outcomes, but Trump is king and Charlie Kirk is far from that.

EDIT: See above.

While true to some degree I think what makes it shocking is that the guy wasn't a policy maker or some high decision maker. Mostly he was known being a debate bro guy who went to college campuses to "own the libs". And while he had many shit opinions it does feel like an escalation that opinions alone are enough to get you shot and that places like Resetera will celebrate it

[Daffy Duck]

No idea who this guy was murdered is, twitter tells me he just likes debates. Zeo tells me he’s a literal Nazi, is that true?

Has he killed anyone or does he just say things he/ they don’t like?

It's like how it will be made worse if furry artists lose commissions to AI.

This was his organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_Point_USA

They make a lot of money but I'm skeptical that they've ever accomplished anything else.

[BIONIC]

I’m somehow behind 5 pages from just a few hours ago. If it’s just a bunch of shit ass care posts instead of juicy drama I will murder all of you.

[Daffy Duck]

It’s hard to disagree tbh

You been in Utah recently? Like earlier today?

Orange Man is in large part responsable for today's political climate though, so I'd say Orange Man Bad™, yeah.

And although he didn't deserve to be shot for it, Charlie too. When your entire business model is to enrage some of the most disturbed people in society, on both sides of the political spectrum, things like this are bound to happen. Kind of like Steve Irwin getting stung after decades of handling deadly animals. 

Charlie and his pals have spent the last decade or so creating this version of America they're now living in, and got really rich doing so. I'd say it'd be good time for introspection and re-evaluating their life choices, but who am I kidding...

And sure, you have people on the other side doing similar things. They're just as despicable.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

When I saw how many replies this thread had after my epic take down of capitalism after pointing out how America can pump money into South Korea, and by doing so allows the SK government to subsidize child care, while we Americans struggle day by day due to the crushing strain of capitalism and get no support at all. Let's say I was worried that the Uncle, Pogi, et v Boredfrom had gotten out of hand.

Instead there's been an assassination. This is disheartening. I didn't agree with all his message but being gunned in broad daylight isn't going to do anything but make him a martyr.

[Daffy Duck]

Uh oh, soliloquy of a dog about to say the thing

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

It's interesting how they're all circling the wagons again.

[RetiredSkunk]

It's interesting how people who should not have algorithms that feed them far right idealogues like Kirk, know his work pretty intimately.

[Besticus Maximus]

If you live in a country of gun toting Yankee Doodle dandies who believe in the right for bear arms this is simply the cost of doing business

As a subplot, I am interested in the possibility of Mormon benji.
