When I’m prime minister we’re gonna have a ground rule that Israel had to chill tf out, take a lap boys you’re doing too much

Today I actually watched a video of them double tapping a building full of rescue workers.

It's so grim that its beyond even the most absurd villainous stuff. It's utterly surreal.

Which is why the entire state needs to be dismantled.

Today I actually watched a video of them double tapping a building full of rescue workers.

It's so grim that its beyond even the most absurd villainous stuff. It's utterly surreal.

It's still so absurd watching people like Pete Buttigieg see all of this vile insanity and say without hesitation that, "Israel has a right to defend itself."

I know so many of these people are bought and paid for by AIPAC but this is so farcical that it almost feels like an SNL skit at this point.  We're gonna see Kenan as Cory Booker watching a clip of Israeli colonizers sawing babies in half while laughing like the Joker, then hard cut back to Kenan in-character saying, "Well, those babies could've joined Hamas."

Israel literally just assassinated Yemen's Houthi PM this week too.  They're actively trying to create more conflicts.  How anyone can look at what Israel has been doing long before Oct 7th and see them as anything but a terrorist state full of brainwashed right wing extremists is a mystery best left unraveled by smarter people than I.

Charlie Kirk quite literally bit the bullet today. The shooter hasn't been caught or identified but Dear Leader already put out a statement blaming us radical lefty lunatics and republicans are calling for all libs to be killed. Ironically, Kirk's last words were literally him debating about gun violence.

In the middle of all the breathless coverage about Kirk getting got, there was another mass shooting at a high school in Colorado where three kids were shot and one just recently passed away from their wounds.

Only in America could one shooting be interrupted by another shooting.

He said a few lives were worth losing for the right to the second amendment. At least he got to show everyone that wasn't all bluster.

[Aragorn]

Honestly?

Was gonna comment here on that yesterday not long after it happened, but didn't have much to contribute besides "lmao get schwacked". But now that the reactions have poured in across social media, just think it's incredible that right on queue, the people in this country that have zero empathy for anyone are suddenly demanding empathy from the people they want to exterminate. Two Dem legislators assassinated in their home, not a fucking peep. But smallface Kirk gets clapped at his dumb little debate event, they call for everything from "toning down the rhetoric" to outright civil war.

Saw a tweet a while back that talked about how nobody discusses Rush Limbaugh anymore because he contributed nothing of value to the world. He left no legacy except a vacuum filled by less entertaining hate peddling replicas of him. I've got a good feeling that's what will happen to Charlie Kirk as well. In two years' time we won't hear about anything he did, only about how he was another statistic in the early days of America's collapse.

Charlie Kirk was an antisemite, an islamophobe, was someone who was racist, argued against women’s rights, was transphobic, argued collateral damage was OK in order for the 2nd amendment to remain, equated homosexuality with “grooming” children for sexual abuse, said women should be submissive housewives and so on and so forth. This is who people are being chastised for not having sympathy for - a man who had none for anyone who wasn’t him, who promoted and incited this kind of political extremism.

I hear what y'all are saying, but damn. Idk anymore.

I didn't know shit about Charlie Kirk, but from what I understand he just had unpopular opinions; he wasn't out there causing harm to anyone, wasn't being physically violent, wasn't making wives widows or children fatherless. Are y'all really not bothered at all by people celebrating his death? Should we make it the norm to just shoot anyone who says wild shit (also, who determines what exactly should be considered "wild shit"?)? I don't know about any of you but that's definitely not a world I feel great about raising my kids in.

I'm admittedly kinda numb to all the death at this point, but it's the way people react and talk about this stuff that bothers me. Anytime something happens all anyone talks about is which political party looks better/worse (here in America, at least). Why is that always what matters most to people nowadays? Both parties have supplied ample evidence that they're both fucking trash and shouldn't be followed by anyone, certainly not with any amount of pride, yet people are constantly roasting the other side as if their own is worth a damn.

If Kanye gets assassinated tomorrow, are we all celebrating? Don't answer that.

/rant. I didn't wanna do this on Facebook lol.
