Key note here is 'first time downloads' not simply re activating or being active again on dormant accounts.
So in my opinion this ISN'T the left moving from Bluesky, this might be more the right getting on Twitter to find all those celebrating Kirk's death and target their employers.
It's effectively a war band..
I don't think that's it. I think new users checking to see what was happening. I think people weren't getting straight answers from the media, and wanted to see what was happening for themselves.
I think, maybe it was something like this:
Steve works in an office of 30 people. He is hen-pecked by 5 women who have formed a clique. They are all center-left politically as far as Steve can tell. "One of them says stuff about the new guy running for mayor of New York" he thinks. He's never heard of him. Steve isn't all that interested in politics, it's too messy and you could lose good friends over some bullshit internet crap. Better to just keep watching College and Professional football with his dad and friends. It's wholesome.
George is a friend of Steve who tries not talk about politics, but has said some rather controversial things when no one is watching. He definitely voted Trump. He didn't even have a pride pin on in all of February. He's a good guy, works hard, but always seems on shaky terms with the clique of women in the office.
On Wednesday, some of the women are not working. It happens enough occasionally when they decide to distract themselves it's due to a birthday, or a big event. But they're really invested in this. They're glued to their phones, laughing and snickering.
"OH MY GOD! DID YOU HEAR!" he hears one of them say in a loud whisper to the others. They're all smiles. Strange, but hey, if it's important, he'll find out on the news later.
Across from him, George grabs his phone, staring at it for a moment, he says "Oh my God!" in a shocked voice and walks off.
"That's really odd", Steve thinks. For now it's time to get back to those TPS reports, they're not gonna do themselves.
About 20 minutes later, George comes back. He's slumped in his chair. He looks distraught. Steve is a good man and wants to help out his friends and co-workers, so he asks him.
"Hey George, you okay?"
"Charlie Kirk got shot. They think he's gonna die", he looks like he's barely holding himself together.
Steve was sympathetic, "Oh my god, I'm sorry to hear that. ... Was he a friend of yours?"
"Ha." a brief smirk comes over George. "No, he's a political pundit on the internet. He's on Twitter a lot. He was a really nice guy and a lot of people liked him. He meant a lot to me."
Steve knew that that meant it was really important to George. He hadn't seen his friends get this upset since Dale Earnhardt died. RIP #3.
"... It was bad." George said, almost whispering to himself.
"What was?", Steve asked.
"... ... they shot him. It's all over Twitter. They shot him through the neck, Steve. I saw it. They shot him and his whole fucking neck exploded. His blood was pouring out! They shot him in front of his fucking kids." George was almost crying.
"Holy shit." Steve couldn't say anything else. George never even swears at work. This was raw pain from George, which is the last thing Steve expected today.
"Holy shit! Did you hear! Charlie Kirk is dead! Ha!" came a voice from the other side of the office.
"Yaaaas! Oh my god! It's all over my timeline!" it was the girls smiling and laughing.
Steve couldn't believe what he was seeing. All five women were now celebrating. Did he hear that right? We're they celebrating a murder? Did they see what George saw? How could they do that if George and the girls were seeing the same thing?
When he turned around to look back at George he saw an expression of disgust he didn't think a person could make, followed quickly by and expression of anger that he thought George couldn't make.
"I'm going home." George said curtly.
"But, It's not even 4:30 yet!"
"If those whores don't like it they can fucking fire me." George said gruffly as he quickly walked out of the office.
"... What the fuck is going on on Twitter?" he wondered to himself. He looked at the women cackling in the corner and thought to himself, "Maybe I need to go and find out..."
I mean that is possible but knowing that type of women, good chance THEY post bragging about it, 'Steve' sees it as he looks on Twitter and decides to screencap it and send it to those who can use it to get them in trouble.
Let's just say the workplace will be LESS diverse after this..
I think there's that too. They probably did post it. Imagine what their saying in internal chats.
well written respect.
Thanks!
Sometimes I write weird skits like this when they get into my brain. I should see if I can actually do enjoyable writing.
yeah could try this story was easy to imagine
I don't think the left realizes what they've done by endorsing murder. America is about to enter a period that's going to make The Troubles look like an episode of Teletubbies.
I'm so, so fucking glad I don't live anywhere near a city right now.
They've done nothing but endorse murder for all of human history. This is just a big, high profile one. But, yeah, it's truly mask-off, and making a bunch more people wake up to the nature of the leftist creature.
As people have been saying, it would have been hard for them to find a worse target. They already tried with Trump, anyway, and that's about the only one that comes to mind that would have caused a worse stir.
Charlie Kirk was a moderate and compassionate guy, who the left called a Nazi, and most of the people more rightwing than your average normie right-winger called milquetoast. His biggest crime was talking to people.
It's not like they killed (and to be very clear, that wouldn't be right either, of course) Tate, or Fuentes, or Alex Jones, or something, or even the people who have that same reputation, like Candace Owens. No...they went and murdered Charlie Kirk.
I'm not so sure. Although the right is pissed, their nature hasn't changed. I think it will eventually boil over, as it always does, if we continue along this path, but I'm not sure we're there yet.
Can you expand on that? What is it you think will or might happen in the cities? Because leftists own the cities, if anything, we'll see more left-on-right violence, like we always do. At least that's what I'd theorize.
Honestly, I think Kirk is actually a worst pick for them then Trump. Even on the right Trump's own attitude can come off as divisive and boorish, it's one of the things that drive a lot of people to him but it's also one of the things that drives people away, I can't tell you how many people I know personally that say "I like a lot of what Trump's doing but I wish he'd just shut up". Kirk was a genuinely nice guy where the only negative things people can say about him are lies, they can disagree with him, sure (hell, I disagreed with him a lot), but he was patient and respectful even when crowds of people were shouting right at him, he gave an open mic to whoever wanted to say something, he constantly told his own side to be quite and let the other side speak, he never advocated violence or hate, even if you think some of the things he said were wrong you couldn't deny that they came from a place of compassion (for example he didn't oppose trans ideology out of hate for trans people but because he wanted them to live better quality lives and believed that the trans lifestyle was hurting them), he was basically the political version of Mr. Rogers. Also take into account that most Trump supporters are probably Kirk supporters as well but that's not going to be true the other way around.
Maybe, but he's also a symbol, and his supporters are more "radical" than Kirk's.
It's not about who is a better or less controversial person. It's about the reactions it stirs up. Although it seems Nothing Ever Happens, if they actually managed to take out Trump, there's a chance something might, in fact, happen.
It's not a value judgement about Trump or Kirk. It's saying that, if some leftist actually murdered the President, some serious fucking shit would go down.
If we enter an era of unchecked tranny violence, as it appears we've already done, 99% of it is going to take place in the cities, just like BLM did. They're all bugs and the idea of leaving their concrete hives terrifies them. If you're more than 15 minutes away from any given downtown area you're probably going to be fine no matter what happens.
It may as well be +1 downloads without an X axis.
I’ll agree it’s a pretty worthless graph, it’s just what Apple provides. For what it’s worth though I do think the information is accurate, X jumped to the top of the App Store and Elon was posting about it too
Exceptor X is still censored and Elon is lying about it being open.
Also keep in mind jeets have overrun the platform.
India?
