Oh Leo... I knew you were going to like this news.

He's going to be 97 years old once he gets out.

Good is relative. Every political actor, left or right, thinks they're doing good. Libertarians think they're doing good, so do conservatives, and socialists think they're doing good for the country and world. This is precisely why civility and open dialogue is so important, which is what Kirk promoted with his tours.

I suppose thank you Leo for adding the additional warning. Did you yourself watch the footage? How did you handle it and how did it affect you?

What skills did you learn to achieve this? Programming? Marketing and sales? Musical instruments and singing? Foreign languages? Tangibly, what practical skills did you learn to achieve this? And, what is your educational background?

Leo explicitly says in his Conscious Politics - Part 2 episode, that the taking in delight of the suffering of political opponents is low consciousness behavior.

Don't forget Smedley Butler.

This just in: Within 30 minutes of Charlie Kirk's shooting, another shooting happened at a high school. https://abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-reported-colorado-high-school-2-kids-transported/story?id=125452526 America is a deeply sick and violent country. Gun control and assault weapons ban, now.

But isn't to call Charlie Kirk a fascist too extreme? Fascism, in my opinion, is very niche and means something very specific. Autocracy, militarism, a head of state who posses absolute power, a one-party state, opposition to multi-party democracy, and more. There's nothing to suggest that Kirk supported this.

I disagree that the GOP has embraced fascism, but rather a nationalistic, anti-globalist, populism, and nativism. But yes, AOC was right when she said that the Democrats are not a left party, that we don't have a left party in America. She correctly pointed out that the Democrats are a centrist party with left members. https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-says-democratic-party-center-conservative-party-adds-we-dont-have-left-party-us-1483218

The left in America on the political spectrum are center-left to left, but definitely not far left. Democratic Socialists & Social Democrats != Marxist-Leninists & revolutionaries.

Breaking News: Charlie Kirk has died

I’ve seen the video and it’s brutal. It (the bullet) goes right into his neck and then he just slumps over.

I used to have a problem with smoking too, I can definitely sympathize.

Hey everyone, I'm reviving this thread because of the recent birthday card scandal, which just broke in the news.

Does that drawing really resemble a pre-pubescent girl? It looks like an outlined sketch of a woman's body.

Response to criticisms of the study:

This disputable. The modern socialists are not advocating for centrally planned state socialism. Mamdani has yet to release a platform advocating for significant worker ownership or representation. But we do have examples throughout history where common ownership of property does lead to better outcomes. Sumeria, 2100 BC, had a state planned economy, where food was directly distributed through the state. The code of Hammurabi fixed the wages of workers, and capped how much physicians were allowed to charge their patients. In Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty from 323 to 30 BC, the state controlled the means of production and every aspect of commerce, the government owned all of the land and decided what crops should be grown and where. We have as well have modern examples of it working, such as; Yugoslavia, Burkina Faso, Guatemala under president Jacobo Arbenz, and Chile under president Allende. And even the so called "failed" experiments didn't really fail, according to this study: https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.76.6.661

I heard that psychedelics were a very effective smoking remedy.

I definitely disagree that the establishment Democrats are suddenly our "allies", and the proof of this is what's going on in New York. When Sanders lost in 2016 and in 2020, the motto was "vote blue no matter who". The idea of course being that progressives had to put aside their policy objections, and be okay with voting for the Democrats who receive large donations from the donors who manage the party and pick the leadership. And when I mean pick their leadership, I mean that literally. The donors, party operatives, and volunteers, decided that Biden was the preferable nominee, that they didn't want Sanders to be the nominee, so they coordinated with the other candidates in the primary to withdraw from the primary election. Now hypothetically, if a Socialist were to win a Democratic Primary, would they still be chanting the motto of "vote blue no matter who" ? What we're seeing in New York is that the answer is no. The donor class, and even sitting Democratic members of U.S. congress, are not supporting Zohran Mamdani, rather they are supporting Cuomo and Adams, even though those two are independent. They expect us to vote blue no matter who, but they won't extend the same courtesy when one of our guys wins a primary. 'Democratic socialists are not Democrats,' - Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J The ultimate reason why the establishment are not our allies is because they represent vastly different class interests which can never be reconciled. The job of the Democrats is to find the find the middle ground between what the constituents can tolerate, not want they want, and what the donors want. Not what the constituents want. They coordinated to stop Sanders in the primary and now won't support Zohran. Allies?
