shooting is honestly too good for so many of you fascist cunts.
B-B-B-BASED
- Achievement Unlocked: Good Nazi
I am sure all the "free speech" advocates, such as former U of T professor Jordan Peterson will be making a huge fuss about this. What do you mean no?
Somehow despite the constant news coverage being blasted all over the wire I still can't stop thinking of him as an irrelevant loser.
Number of times I have heard the name Charlie Kirk:
Previous 50 years: -
Past 48 hours: *****************************************************************
- Maybe that's because we're Canadian? I already knew about turning point USA, it's huge and apparently a huge reason Trump got so much more of the young vote this time.
  
  I did eventually find out who he was thanks to Justin Ling's write-up which is pretty good: https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-charlie-kirk-anyway
  Quite a story, but even so the earth-shaking implications of his death seem to me much exaggerated by many.
- I didn't know him by name but by the "prove me wrong" meme. He was a mid-tier grifter on the way down with the likes of Fuentes in the way up. The key thing is he had a lot of access to Trump.
- Pretty much the same for me. I only found out he was behind the tiny face guy meme after he was shot.
Only the far right gets say this kind of stuff.
- Yeah, I'm so sick of the constant hypocrisy. They never reduce government spending either. Honestly, especially nowadays Conservatism is nothing but rhetoric and nothing about economics, just social policies.
  
  It's also about giving billionaires more money and power.
We need a left wing debate bro to go to college campuses and pitch a table saying, "Charlie Kirk deserved to die, prove me wrong."
- Sir, this is Canada.
- Problem is that no one on the left is as awful as them other than Hasan Piker ig.
WHY couldn't that Professor just EXPRESS the Same Views as Charlie Kirk? It would have been MUCH SAFER for Their Job if they just said ALL MINORITIES LIKE BLACKIES AND GAYIES SHOULD DIE!
Silly professor! You can only say that kind of stuff on campus if you're under a tent that says "Prove me wrong"
- Isn't being a fascist also a requirement?
Damn, most people could only ever dream of being that based.
Is U of T forgetting what country it's in? 😒
- It's in Ontario, which acts like any US state.
Odd, the title suggested she was mournful not right.
And the "anti-cancel culture" folk cancel more folk...
Only pro genocide and pro replacement theory civil war/genocide justification speech allowed. Got it. Even when you just repeat the hate the establishment condones, it is presumed to be opposition to the hate the establishment condones.
