    I saw that video. I would laugh at Vivek’s misfortune of having to stand up there smiling while a bunch of vile teenagers make clear how unwanted he is….but I don’t want to be accused of being a psychopath

    And conservatives wonder why Kirk wasn't liked by those on the right? The Charlie Kirk fan base and all MAGAs have made it clear that if you're not a white, straight Christian, that you're not welcomed in this country.

    It's OK. A liddle Schadenfreude is nothing in the Trump Error where people are being snatched right off the streets. Only ICs have an issue with The Left "going too far"

    The left refused to support fully woke on all issues. This is where America is as a result. The country is getting what it deserves.

    Not to mention one ICSOB said I wasn't sorrowful enough about the untimely death of a man- well, not really a man, but some kind of sentient something that should never have been spawned to begin with.

    Sorrow for Charlie Kirk is the property of predatory conservatives who dine on Black children.

    MAGAs went off yesterday because it was (sort of) deemed Charlie Kirk day and they were pissed it wasn't covered on the national level (except for Faux News). Kind of happened with little fanfare.

    Meanwhile, TPUSA is still doxing and targeting academics for thoughtcrimes around the country; an aspect of Kirk's legacy which gets almost no notice.

    I'm not going to provide any detail whatsoever, but a friend of mine is a recent target; they are hoping the furor dies down before some stochastic terrorist decides to take action.

    Nobody talks about Rushbo anymore except maybe some Young Republicans and his underage Dominican escorts. Chuckie's "accomplishments" were worthless to society.

    Between the Vivek interview and the Politico expose where they got the text messages of a bunch of Young Republicans being super racist.....It is super scary for me to see. I'm a little younger than I think a lot of you are. I'm only 35. And seeing the youth grow up behind you in such a clearly regressive propagandized way is scary.

    Back in Nebraska, a small business owner and adjunct professor is under attack because she posted that Kirk's murder, while horrible, was also maybe karma.

    That's it. And now there's a "discussion" of the limits of free speech, as the local news reports euphemistically put it.

    It's an interesting experience to be the last generation to grow up without social media at all. There is no doubt that the screentime is going to end up being a negative on people's brain development. Growing up with the technology and having access to all the information in the world at a young age nonetheless (I had a desktop computer at the age of 14 with access to the internet) still ends up sharing a bit of that childhoold with the generation that came after us. So in a way my generation feels like we grew up in the old world but came of age in a brand new world.

    Even take Charlie Kirk, when I was younger I got a little swept up by Ben Shapiro. Ben of course was peddling more of a free market catch libertarians and free speech. Probably had a little bit about legalization of weed. But same concept, sending an adult to college campuses to take advantage of people who maybe were raised with those Conservative values that were being challenged in a higher education environment. So I understand how he was able to get so many in Gen Z to listen to him, especially when you think of how much money was spent into reaching Gen Z and priming them on the internet after they lost my generation to progressive politics.

    In the last classroom I taught, a lot of the students would talk about what somebody else said being funny or interesting or similar, and then reposting it with only emojis. I told them that they were letting others talk for them if they did that, and most just kind of shrugged their shoulders.

    They are being radicalized in much the same way young men were radicalized to join AQ and ISIS. The similarities are undeniable, and it’s only a matter of time before they start thinking that blowing themselves up is a viable option.

    I'm fine with that. Now, blowing themselves up in proximity to others? Not at all.

    They are actually the most critical outlet in "major media" Raids on Randy's Mexicans. Tanks in DC. Vance as Tattoo and Noem with her face melting. Trump's liddle dick.

    Na, they won't do that. Now, converting a semiauto rifle to full auto and mowing people down? Yeah, they'll do that.

    If it's any comfort the situation isn't quite that dire. The media just loves talking about the losers like these incels imbeciles. I've faith that if the chips really go down, that gen will respond accordingly.

    I was instantly comforted when I realized they were Montana teens and not Ohio teens, because it made a lot more sense after that.

    I think Gen Z is alright too. I think they got manipulated by the algos and red pilled but I don't really believe that stuff is going to stick. Once you get out in the real world you start to meet a bunch of real men and there isn't so much pressure on you to figure out the masculinity part. At the end of the day they've been raised in a capitalistic world that doesn't have a lot of opportunity for them and I think a lot of them will figure it out.

    TPUSA had a thing in Oklahoma. Among the quality people was Russel Brand, charged with rape (trail starting 2026) in the UK, multiple civil suits for some kind of sexual abuse/battery in the UK, and sexual assault in NY, among others. Yet the people of TPUSA love him.

    You seem surprised. Consider the following:

    1. They support a president who has been found guilty of sexual assaults, harassment, etc.
    2. The Young Republican texts celebrated rape.
    3. They advocate for hyper-masculinity, a notion that often goes hand-in-hand with sexual aggression.
    4. Rape, generally speaking, is not actually condemned in the Bible.
