  1. Banned ages ago. He is stubborn with his ignorance like a mule.
  2. Empathy is a natural consequence of experiencing another's experience. Experience is Truth.
  3. Because no one cares about a school shooting and everyone cares about a political assassination. Use your brains.
  4. I have read several Lenin biographies. Slavoj Zizek is a communist fool and not to be trusted on such matters.
  5. Algorithms don't prepare anything. They merely maximize profits and clickbait.
  6. This girl does some nice indie journalism:
  7. Lenin was an unhinged and radicalized machiavellian devil. He was tempermentally incapable of democracy. He wasn't even capable of getting along democratically with his fellow socialist thinkers. He just wanted to shove his ideas down everyone's throats. This is the temperment of a tyrant. Unfortunately these are the kinds of characters who grab power in a revolution, not the nice guys.
  8. I'm talking about today's left in America. White supremacist, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic. Kirk was all of those things. Learn what those term actually mean, not just as memes.
  9. Guys, stop the personal attacks and insults. Not useful at all.
  10. No. And the left has never called for executions nor is the left happy about it. But we warned that electing an authoritarian will lead to political violence, which is exactly what happened and will continue to happen. The right cannot elect authoritarians and then act surprised that violence follows. Trump has been stoking division and violence from day one, for 10 years. And Kirk was all for that kind of politics. You can't elect leaders like Hitler and Mussolini and then act surprised when violence follows. When you elect fascists the only way to get rid of them in the end is with violence. Which is why electing them in the first place is wrong. Yes, in the end the left will resort to violence to end tyranny. That's not a mistake, that's how this works. Right-wingers are just too selfish and ignorant to understand that. If Trump keeps going down the road he's going there will be a lot more violence because people do not sit nicely by while you abuse them, dehumanize them, and take away their freedoms. The error of right-wingers is they think they can dehumanize others without grave consequences to yourselves. That is the narcissism of people like Charlie Kirk. He thought he could go around dehumanizing and oppressing minorities without it backfiring on him. If you dehumanize anyone long enough, you will live to regret it. To expect otherwise is dumb. The problem is that fans of Charlie Kirk are not conscious enough to understand that he made a career out of dehumanizing fellow citizens. So they act shocked and outraged when he gets natural blowback, like Kirk was just this sweet innocent guy. Kirk was a key architect and cheerleader for a politics of dehumanization. This is what the right at large is in denial about and blind to.
  11. Right-wingers will have a field day with this degeneracy.
  12. Of course the granularity is there, just takes work to explicate it.
  13. @Joshe Unconscious survival, group-think, low stages of development, and not caring about truth (corruption) explains it.
  14. Fuentez is a straight up Nazi. Please stop whitewashing his insane and childish ideas.
  15. UFO nuts eating their own.
  16. It is a classic trope that fascists believe empathy is weak and gay. Don't act otherwise. Fascists attack and mock empathy. There is nothing new in this worldview. That's exactly what Kirk's worldview believed. Which is why he wanted kids to watch televised executions and why he mocked the Paul Pelosi attack. Kirk didn't believe in empathy because he was incapable of it, and the same for his king, Trump. Kirk wanted a president with no empathy. He got it.
  17. Kirk would have wanted it this way. Afterall, empathy is for losers.
  18. His audience is not being lost, it is being absorbed by some other right-wing epistemic pervert like Ben Shapiro.
