I feel sorry for his children but I enjoyed watching the video of him getting shot in the neck.

What a bunch of sick fucks B-Dubs fosters.

[Garfield]

People should be able to debate ideas at a college without getting shot. The left needs to stop telling everyone that "words are violence" and accept the fact that others have different ideas.  When I was in school just a few years ago the leftist groups would invite all sorts of crazy characters to speak and no one ever gave a shit. But a republican group brings one guy to their own event and it's a shitstorm with protests and leaflets and stares. It's not a 50/50 both sides problem.

Just another example of Donald Trump in power is good for Donald Trump but bad for the right. 

First admin it was mostly boycotts, in between admins jail and for the sequel killings. I wonder how long before the MAGAverse realizes this.

He continues to be not Hitler or Berlusconi but Slobodan Milosovic. And because he's now untouchable they go after his pawns as a last resort.

We have subsidized childcare here (not free, but cheap) and studies after studies have shown that it's a net benefit for everyone. The cost of that program is quite low in the grand scheme of things. And there's nothing stopping someone from becoming a trad-wife (or non-trad-husband) if they really want to.

The alternative to force a parent to stay home because of absurd childcare costs is not more stable families, it's not having children. And I'd rather subsidize single moms by paying for their childcare so they can work than paying for their welfare.

You say that it's a net benefit, and yet as childcare becomes more and more prominent, reproductivity and family stability has dropped precipitously. Where are these supposed society wide benefits? And "they can still do it if they want to" is a very naive reading of what a societal incentive is and does. Of course they're free to. But societal pressures affect society, believe it or not.

For one thing, women of reproductive age make up a huge proportion of nurses and school teachers, professions for which there's already a shortage. Removing thousands of them from the workforce while they take 5 years off or more would be quite catastrophic. And I don't know, GDP, pay equity, less welfare, etc. Like I said, studies made here have shown that it had a positive impact since it was put in place 30 years ago.

I'm not from the US so I can't speak of the reproductivity (down in the entire world as people get richer and have access to contraception) or family stability (many causes; might as well blame people not having God in their heart; a "stable" family could be one in which the woman has to STFU and can't divorce...).

PogiJones wants women to stay home and inflict cock and ball torture upon him.

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.

Yet this is what a certain poster here keeps calling on Boredfrom to do to Potato.

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.

In hindsight, it seems I may have chosen my words poorly

[BIONIC]

Also in hindsight, bad choice of emote…

Is it? I feel like JK Rowling never gave af about fanfiction in the past. As long as it isn't literally set in the same world, I'd be surprised if she ever acknowledged it

let one of the main characters be trans and I bet she'll start caring

Not even a “Thoughts, and prayers” to make up for this!

[simiansmarts]

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?

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.

The atomization of society, social media constantly pushing people to extreme ends, the line between politicians and influencers being blurred, all of these factors and more create a complete shitshow of political discourse in america.

[Besticus Maximus]

If Americans clamped down on childcare this would never have done a happen.

[Boredfrom]

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

[No. 1 Boss Jocker]

As tragic as events today are, I sincerely hope it doesn't detract from the upcoming Nintendo direct. 

My favourite marketing event shouldn't be spoiled by disagreements over politics. Also fuck capitalism!

Nah, it is. I don’t even disagree with your overall point, but don’t make illusions that the other side isn’t as willing to silence discourse.

[Boredfrom]

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

Nepenthe:

[benji]

So. Everyone, if you live in a liberal area...please be safe. Obviously I don't know what will happen, but we do know there are a ton of unhinged people on the right. So please, keep yourselves safe.

Just as many unhinged on the left mate

Nah, Hecht

Insert NepNep arm up post

We didn't even make it far enough for it to switch over to the date rather than the day:

[benji]

[Boredfrom]

It’s hard to disagree tbh

The thing that the right is not much better, as Trump and Elon liked to remind us.  

Trump gets more scared for hecklers while dining than almost getting shoot.

[Besticus Maximus]

Imagine naming yourself for a plastic football club of famous racists

[benji]

In case you forgot this was a lib site that hates progressives:

User banned (2 months): advocating political violence

All this will do is take more rights away from the least dangerous and most margainalized among us because Trump.

That's a traumatic thing to experience and i hope people wake up and realize it's too easy for ANYONE to get a gun in this country and this shit needs to stop

Shooting Charlie Kirk won't silence him/people like him it'll just embolden them. Don't be naive

Then shoot more of them?

User banned (2 months): advocating political violence

His actions don't change my morals. I don't support the death penalty in any circumstance, let alone straight murder.

Shooting fascists is self-defence.

Thanks, man. I'm just gonna skip class for the rest of the week. Not dealing with this bullshit.

bro is never finishing college.

[Boredfrom]

Holy shit, Diablos had a decent opinion for once. Good for him.

[simiansmarts]

Miss me with some of these pearl-clutching. What happened today was fucked up as hell but please please please do not stand there and pretend like the other side would not be elated if this was someone else that they love to hate. As if the person of today's events didn't encourage shit like this regularly. Say inflammatory shit, rile people up.

Musk buying Twitter and straight up encouraging constant vile speak also played a fucking part in this. And let's not forget Individual-1.

The Californian wildfires and the Texas flooding was a perfect balance of current day flagrant political discourse. The right to clutch pearls went out the window a long time ago.

Literally please god let it be a straight white conservative man. Please.

Good time to be living in a historically-conservative area as a young black man.

Holy shit, for real Noodlesoup, finish your college. You are going to feel worse as a dropout.

Bro I'm so sorry. I live in TN. I'm a white dude so I can't understand your anxiety, but I have a daughter and feel so defeated and worried about the world she's going to grow up in. I hate this shit so much.

Saw these posts while going back to those:

Watching cable news talk about Charlie Kirk as if he were a good person and not a fucking monster is one of the more frustrating things I've ever seen.

Found your problem.

There are soldiers in the streets already and concentration camps. Like what's worse than that?

The stuff they're spouting right now - open murder in the streets.

So what Black, Brown, and Indigenous people face from cops or even random bigots all the time?

I see the bolded argument everywhere and wonder: What does the predictable reaction of pea-brained morons who suck Trump's cock all day have to do with my stance on whether or not this kind of violence is acceptable?

If instead of Charlie Kirk it had been some leftist equivalent, I don't think it changes my (or probably many Bireans) opinion on the matter. The only thing that changes is the group of short-sighted and/or bloodthirsty lunatics we are rolling our eyes at.

That's not even getting into who is encouraging what...Trump and Elon are for sure not blameless, but anywhere on the internet (see: Era, Twitter, Bluesky), the rhetorical two-step of "it's ok to kill nazis" followed by "<x> is a nazi and you are one too if you disagree" is impossible to miss.
