I have never read a good Jacobin article, so I don't know what I expected. But this shit? Ezra in NYT is fucking crazy but at least we could already guess that these lanyard assholes identify more with Charlie than any of the journalists Israel has murdered. But a fucking Jacobin writer? Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you think these people think of you as on the same level as them?

If he was in charge, Charlie Kirk would have ordered these people killed. But here they come, condemning violence. Let me draw your attention to some shit:

Four years ago, one of us (Ben) did a debate with Kirk on “Democratic Socialism vs. Conservative Populism.” His politics have trended in an even worse direction over the years since, flirting with much uglier forms of nationalism and xenophobia, but even in 2021, the substance of Kirk’s side of the conversation was indefensible. While claiming the mantle of “populism,” he defended a series of positions that would have been at home on the Wall Street Journal editorial page. He was steadfastly opposed to even baby steps toward a more equal society like universal health care and building a stronger labor movement.

At the same time, he didn’t descend into personal attacks. He stuck to the substance of the arguments, largely steering clear of cheap gotchas and giving Ben the space to hammer home the contradiction between Kirk’s populist rhetoric and the ugly inegalitarian substance of his politics. In a country where substantial numbers of our fellow citizens unfortunately agree with Kirk’s perspective, discussions like that are absolutely necessary.

You see this shit? You see who they decide to side with? "Oh, I had a debate with him once, he was so polite." He got his necked popped open while trying to blame trans people for mass shootings. You identify with him because you see yourselves as equals on opposite sides of a fair fight. You accept the liberal framing that his brand of reaction is something everyone secretly clamors for, and not something that had to be funded by billionaires to shove down our throats. Suck my dick. And another thing!

Whether or not the shooter even turns out to be left-wing, there are good reasons to worry that the assassination could be used as a pretext for new crackdowns against dissenting speech from an administration that’s already shown itself willing to engage in a degree of authoritarianism we haven’t seen in recent American history.

WOW SOUNDS SERIOUS, WONDER HOW THIS TURNED OUT. I guessed within the fucking day this would be some dumb shit groyper shooter, because that's what it has been every time, and that nothing would fucking happen, because I have fucking eyes and can see that the regime needs no excuses and can't maintain attention for longer than a couple days. If someone shooting Donald fucking Trump couldn't start this much worried about crackdown on the left, what the fuck would?

And who the fuck are you even talking to? This whole article you're scolding the left for fucking what? You assumed it was one of us, it fucking wasn't, and even if he was some hardcore anti-fascist, the fuck was I supposed to do about it? I didn't tell him to do it! Why are you mad it me? And where's your call to organize as an alternative to adventurism, huh? It seems like a learned reflex from liberal media that anytime something you think is bad happens you need to turn around and discipline the left flank. You look fucking stupid. This post is two for flinching.

And think about what the fuck you're saying. What do you think is going to happen to the left? Are people going to be made illegal, disappeared, imprisoned en masse? We're already fucking doing that! It just doesn't affect you so even though you're theoretically a socialist who wants to take over the fucking economy, you're scared to death at the first shadow of opposition. Grow a fucking spine.

98 year old red army vet:

Thought I'd check on covid.gov aka Lab Leak: The True Origins of Covid-19 – The White House. The update: That shit is still there.

Forgot about this one:

In more recent news, Cummoh has rebuffed Trump: 'I don’t want him involved in anything to do with my race'.

I can't quite put the jokes together but the material is there.

You know it

I know it

Lefties? Just the opposite

Oh my God

Is this what I would be hearing if I actually watched this loser? 'People live until 83-85 and are retiring at 65 and this is a bad thing'? People should literally just work until they drop dead?

Yeah let's just plug them into the matrix and make them power our cities but without the dream world, cause making that costs money.

You'd rob us of our final twenty years of freedom? What is going on? What is wrong with people like this? At 65 my body would be barely a shadow between life and death; I shouldn't have peace in my final twenty years?

Oh easy enough for him to say, he's a millionaire; he can retire NOW if he wanted to. Can you believe most boomers vote for the same people he votes for?

After the suspected shooter has been detained, the FBI held a press conference to report on the case and announce the next steps going forward. Spoiler: we, as leftists, are fucked.

Key points:

• The shooter is Tyler Robinson of Utah.
• His friend reported him to the FBI.
• Tyler's Discord messages have been used as evidence, as provided by his roommate.
• Robinson has been reported to be getting increasingly political, and during dinner one day, he spoke about how Kirk was "full of hate".
• The casings do not contain any trans references. But they do have anti-fascist rhetoric (bella ciao and "notices bulges OwO" included) and symbols engraved in them.
• Tyler was taken into custody on September 11th, 10 PM local time.
• The investigation is still ongoing.
• One guy cried while speaking.
• Thousands of more leads of potential accomplices are being followed.
• No other arrests are known
• Tyler drove to campus on a car.
• It's not known if Tyler is mentally ill.
• The charging documents will be filed 3 days from now (September 12), then a preliminary hearing will take place.

(Added by LangleyDominos)

• Patel awkwardly trying to signal the Norse viking larp shit. "Charlie, I'll see you in Valhalla"
• Utah Governor Cox told everyone to log off and stop consuming rage bait, called social media a cancer, and that everyone should "touch grass" (his actual words).

UPDATES

• ~~UPDATE 1: Tyler apparently donated to TRUMP??? WHAT~~
• UPDATE 2: ignore update 1
• UPDATE 3: new link to donations check (POTENTIALLY MISLEADING!!!)

Love installing multiple gigabyte flatpaks of what would be 15mb exe files on Windows. I've enjoyed using Mint so far but there are definitely some things that suck, this is one of them

I'm gonna guess 'not that committed'

I have a well meaning friend who still thinks at least Biden did some good things occasionally

Didn't they fail to pass the bill, then they absolutely gutted it and filled it with rotting garbage, and then pass a skeletal version of it just so they could have a victory lap?

Please provide actual info one way or the other, I need this info for showing my friend they won't accept communist dunking on faith
