I have wondered for a while what the best outcome would be for that situation. Of course, shutting it down would still be a net positive. But I can't help but feel the best possible outcome would be similar to what happened to twitter. Take it over, purge it, and make the crazies flee to a containment chamber while retaining most of the normies.
Because as it stands, just nuking it would potentially just cause an alternative to take its place immediately. Although I suppose many normies would be lost in the process, which would be very helpful. The presence of plenty of normies being gradually swayed and brainwashed is what makes Reddit much more harmful than something like BlueSky that has virtually zero people outside of the radical left and people there to expressly troll them, keep tabs on them, or farm their engagement.
Primaries are critical of course, and while the rules differ by state, the establishment generally pulls out all the stops to make sure they go the way that they want. And normies are too retarded to see through it.
For example, an outsider was running against Mike DeCuck in the Ohio governor primary last cycle. He was probably going to win. So the establishment got a decently well known third candidate to run to split the vote because normies are too retarded to see through that. So DeWine won the primary with less than 50% of the vote.
Runoff elections should be mandatory when someone has under 50% vote share. And shit like ranked choice should be illegal. All shit the establishment pulls to hold onto power.
You mean you arent impressed by "hey hey ho ho this fascist has got to go?"
I'm still pissed off I lost deranged leftist lunatic bingo just because my "trans shooter" box isn't checked. With this news I think I'm gonna have to appeal to the judges because I think it should count.
These people think they're so witty and intelligent while being mouth breathing retards. It honestly makes me sick.
Hurr durr he supported the 2nd Amendment therefore he wants gun violence. You know how when you teach a 5 year old about money for the first time, and when they first learn that fiat currency can just be printed, they invariably say why dont we just print more money and give it to people so no one would have to be poor? Same energy as retards who want to ban guns to reduce gun violence.
It would be funny if it weren't so sad, since recalling back to the scamdemic, so many of them support printing a ton of money to solve poverty as well. Mentally they might as well be five year olds, and it's infuriating just how smug they often are in their unbridled ignorance.
Seems like he got super radicalized very early. Even before college, early in high school. Raised by the internet. There's a screenshot from his mom's facebook going around that implies his parents just turned him loose on the internet with no supervision.
Pfft, chud, orange cheeto man is already turbo giga Hitler, he can't be radicalized any further!
Based. Thank you for your service, sir.
Did you submit it to the website? If you do, they will probably get many more reports and it will be harder to ignore.
It doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy inside either, but refusing to play dirty is why we lose.
Edit: You would seriously have potential accomplices go free just so you can feel like you're taking the high road? In this situation?
Edit2: it is becoming more and more apparent this was likely perpetrated in cooperation with many individuals to prepare, coordinate, and act as diversions. You mean to tell me you would prefer to keep your hands clean over finding them and giving them what they deserve?
This is a demon we're dealing with. If there is any doubt whatsoever that this is the culprit, then okay. But if we know for 100% certain, I wouldnt rule it out. Not saying some truly gruesome medieval stuff, but something to grease the gears a bit.
I agree it's unlikely this ends up causing the change we want. But it definitely seems like this event is penetrating much more deeply into the mainstream normie sphere than usual.
I agree with most of what you write. I wasn't a fan of a lot of his milquetoast opinions. However:
He was an absolute detriment to the ''right wing''.
I don't agree with this at all. He was making "conservatism" mainstream. He was deep in enemy territory actually changing minds. Many people on this very board, dare I say most, went through a time where they were on the left, and to get to where they are now, they had to go through a phase of having more moderate opinions like Kirk.
There was a time when I listened to Ben Shapiro. He disgusts me now. The amount of people Kirk turned to our side, even if it takes them a while to get there as they think their way through their more moderate phase, is incalculable. It is shortsighted to say he was a detriment because of his moderate views.
EDIT: and if the idea is he pulls people more right than him to the left, I don't think so. At the very least, I can't see that happening in numbers that offset the amount of actual legit converts. People that were actually leftists that he woke up from their bullshit. Having a hundred thousand more Charlie Kirk style conservatives is infinitely better than those same people being a hundred thousand more leftoids.
I want this to be a genuine turning point. That can start by holding a quick trial and executing this guy. Publicly. None of this 20 years later bullshit. Show that you mean business. If the evidence is clear and/or he pleads guilty, no reason he shouldn't be dead before the end of this month.
And if you know it is the guy beyond any doubt, I am not against torture. Squeeze out information on anyone who helped him and give them a similar fate. Send a message to these psychos that playtime is over.
Honestly not even rare. Dare I say he is reasonable and correct more often than not. It just makes his whacky takes even more bizarre.
I agree with you completely except one part.
Most of them don’t have real jobs anyway.
If anything, way too many of them have jobs that influence society or the lives of others directly. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, etc. These people need to be prioritized when trying to target these psychos.
I've never engaged in cancel culture personally. In the past, years ago, I was naive and would think I wouldn't want to sink to their level. Even after realizing how naive that is, there simply was never an event that stirred my disgust enough to act. But now, I can say with utmost certainty, I will go out of my way to do anything I can to ruin the life of anyone celebrating this, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.
I wouldn't immediately conclude that for sure from the cartridges. If it is a foreign government hit, they aren't exactly going to want to leave traces that make people think that's what it was.
I think Ukraine is more likely, but Israel is a close second. I know, I know, "what's the difference?"
The change to "Defence" was for propaganda purposes to mask what it really was. How the hell he can get it so completely ass backwards is beyond me. For someone so smart on certain things he can truly be pants on head retarded.
I'm sure it has.
I think you may be severely overestimating how much the bleeding heart retards want to actually get off their asses to do something rather than just loudly virtue signal while destroying society.
Indiana is a red state but we always get such RINO governors.
Awareness is the first step. People need to learn how to spot these snakes when the signs arent as obvious. I am not familiar with what has been done in Indiana up to this point, but as a neighbor in Ohio, I can provide input into what has happened here.
Last cycle, some outsider was running against incumbent cuck Mike DeWine in the GOP primary. So the establishment ran a third candidate to split the vote and normies are way too retarded to comprehend this tactic, so DeWine won the primary with less than 50% of the vote.
Huh, I graduated after that and was able to get away with it, but maybe I had enough different that it was allowed.
Wait when did they decide that? I have dual BS degrees and that woulda ruined that for me.
Michigan sends me messages on LinkedIn literally begging me to move there. If you have to pay for a big advertisement campaign to beg capable people to move to your state, you probably shouldn't pull retarded shit like this. If some state actually somehow followed through with a ban of anime and manga that didn't get struck down by the courts, they would instantly become number 1 on my list of shithole states.
