It's about changing our culture and attitude towards guns. A teenage boys hobby should not be military grade weapons designed to kill the most amount of people possible. It's just not healthy IMO.

I've been shooting since I was 8 and doing farm work. Having proper respect for weapons and training is important. Something clearly went off with this kid, and gun culture wasn't it

He gave a good response but there's a phrase in there that bugs me a little.

"I didn't agree with everything Charlie Kirk said but..."

Shouldn't that be the assumption? Has anyone met anyone in their life where they agreed with them on 100%? The longer you get to know anyone the more likely that you're going to find differences in belief.

I said something similar earlier in the thread. Just think of it more how different people are coming together over this terrible incident.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

This is the entire segment that most people have just small clips of. Absolutely worth the entire 4 minutes watch

 

[Kacho]

One thing I still don't understand. We all know internet is forever. Why some of the people celebrating Charlie's passing are surprised they lose their jobs? It's extremely wrong to celebrate it to begin with

Scott Adams had a good take imo

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Elon would know. It literally happened to him just a few months ago. The entire media called him literally a Nazi. People were instantly radicalized and went out to burn Tesla cars and shoot the dealerships. Their goal was to silence him with fear. But Elon has been a billionaire longer than he's been a media Nazi, so he has good private security and knows not to walk around in public so no one was able to try and kill him like they did to Charlie Kirk

But this is an ongoing problem with the radicalization of the left and it has now gotten an innocent man murdered in cold blood. And left isn't stopping, if anything they are doubling down on this

 

[Null Persp]

They need to get everyone involved with this

I still can't explain this tweet

It sounds like he knew what was about to happen. Not 100 % sure but maybe this X user is part of the shooter's discord group. Again I'm guessing

This makes sense to me. They have become so
Emboldened by social media, coupled with their own cognitive dissonance, that they come out with some of the most inhumane takes I've seen come out of society.
I'm willing to wager the echo chamber isn't quite as numerous as we all thought, but it is still numerous.

they thought Kamala was going to win, they live in a bubble.

Have you been to the state of Oregon? Do you know the ties Nike has to the University of Oregon? And have you seen how activistic Nike is?

Putting out any statement that specifically names a figure like Charlie and doesn't instantly demonize him is REALLY putting your neck out, as sad as that is. The unfortunate reality is that while the rural parts of our state are generally moderate right the college towns here are as radical as Portland (which is even more nuts than the media portrays it).

I really do not think Coach Lanning could have made a more perfect statement given the circumstances.

 

[Draugoth]

Welp.

I mean, depending on how his partner looked I not blaming him

 

[Punished Miku]

We could discuss Elon and why people dislike him if you want. Pretty sure he did all of it himself. People are allowed to criticize him and insult him and they have tons of reasons to. The guy should literally be in jail.

Pretty convenient he latches on to a catchphrase instead of addressing anything people criticize him for.

He literally got punched by Trump staffers in the white house. No one on the left punched him and gave him a black eye. Ever think he might not be a great dude?

 

[Kiwicha]

Retardera just nuke its Chalie Kirk thread.

 

[poppabk]

Yeah no-one has a leg to stand on when it comes to this - the last two attacks on Democrats, Republicans did the exact same thing and worse. We still had multiple people in this thread spouting the debunked narrative.

 

[Bojji]

Damn, I might reconsider my stance on women with penises.

I wonder if the FBI finally noticed them or what

 

[Draugoth]

This is the most terrifying part of the whole event TBH

Our children have been subject to a brainwashing apparatus for years. Who knows how many more Tylers there are in this country right now

I understand the sentiment, but I don't think it's a good idea to doxx a list with people's full names and work location on a public accessible database, and then posting the link at your official Twitter page.

It's going to backfire the same way it backfired on people who supported the man's death openly on Social Media.

Elon really does need to learn to stfu sometimes. And to be honest, he's been playing footsie with avowed fascistic elements and ethnonationalists since sperging himself out of the Trump administration.

None of that justifies violence, but he has absolutely contributed to the tense environment by allowing Twitter to get swarmed with bots boosting genuine right wing extremist nonsense.

I mean you're not wrong but we are now way past the point where bad ideas became the only ideas everyone had

The question now is will people stop having bad ideas now or will they continue to escalate and double down on their bad ideas

 

[Mondai]

I think maybe they changed the topic to members only.

There's a good chance you could find similar messages before many of the events where nothing happened too.

 

[Scrawnton]

Retardera just nuke its Chalie Kirk thread.

Yup. Makes sense. Signs are pointing to the shooter (possibly) and his boyfriend (highly likely) being Era posters.

I don't want to jump to conclusions but the more that comes out that this has ties to transgender and gamer ideologies, resetera is an obvious safe place for them.

 

[thefool]

Retardera just nuke its Chalie Kirk thread.

Would be a shame if someone had archived it.

I wrote it yesterday, that place can seriously get shut down very soon, a couple of ties in some discord-servers or subreddits and it's bye bye. It's basically nothing but vitriol and calls for violence.

 

[Mondai]

They didn't nuke the thread, its just been changed to members only (my speculation since I can access it just fine).

is that a parody video?

 

[Trilobit]

Hitlerians is a good term for them. They've actually entered some kind of group psychosis where they live under siege in Nazi America. They must be exhausted worrying about half or more of the country being literal nazis.

It sounds like he knew what was about to happen. Not 100 % sure but maybe this X user is part of the shooter's discord group. Again I'm guessing

They need to investigate it thoroughly to see if it's part of a bigger network so that something like this doesn't happen in other cities or states.

"i'm sorry not sorry" in like a higher tone tryna be cutesy.

Jesus fuck does anything actually get done in the US liberal states, all these 30-40 year old virgins have the mental age of 15 year olds working at companies. How?!?

EDIT: Parody, the fact it was just totally believable is even scarier

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Is Microsoft healing?

Even if his post had nothing to do with getting fired, and all he talked about was pizza and beer, you could tell this guy is going to be a big gamble to hire at any company.

If you think of it, it's probably why so many companies like employing tons of immigrants. Often times in numbersy jobs in finance or computer specialists running all of the company's servers and IT. They dont get involved in weird politics and probably dont talk a lot either ruffling feathers. And arent the type to say dumb shit on social media. Their job is focused on deep analysis or making sure everything works.... even down to spending time helping the dumbass locked out of his PC because he forgot his password again. They dont have time for skewed politics and plot.

Someone realized that far too many posters there could lose their jobs if clever people could figure out out their identities and informed their employers.

 

[Scrawnton]

Seriously?

Was resetera not a massive haven for transgender gamers? Like I said, I'm not jumping to conclusions. But there IS that possibility. And now they locked down their Kirk thread. Regardless of whether they were members there, it's obvious because of what's coming out about the shooter that Era may be combed by some groups.

Touche.

that video almost got me until the dei department part

 

[calico]

There was even a study which showed a majority on the left thought violence against Trump, Musk, and destroying Tesla dealerships was at least partially justified.

Everyone is saying it. I'd probably say it if I was talking to someone about it.

I still don't like it.

There's something about it that reminds me of how "group animal" we actually are. When people say it I hear "Don't hurt me, I'm not as bad as him."

This one?



Note the name of the poster.........

 

[Airola]

Countries like Switzerland and Finland own a lot of guns, but don't see anywhere near the amount of gun violence because their gun culture is totally different.

This is sort of true, but not as much anymore than what it used to be.

We have a gang violence problem now involving guns, and we even had a 12-year-old kid shoot his schoolmates with a gun at school not too long ago.

Sure, it's not even close as bad as in the US, or how bad it is in Sweden these days, but it has become worse.

 

[Draugoth]

I mean you're not wrong but we are now way past the point where bad ideas became the only ideas everyone had

The question now is will people stop having bad ideas now or will they continue to escalate and double down on their bad ideas

As an outsider, I'm seeing an extremely divided America and the radicalization of both left and right political spectrum, the president isn't doing any favors and instead of asking for unity and speaking out against political violence he's throwing fuel into the fire. Social Media has become both a weapon and a drug, and AI is only going to make things worse. It's absolute crazy how easy is to find and target people online nowadays.

I'm understanding that things will only escalate from now on, specially with economic uncertainty.
