Quick! I need a live Charlie Kirk reaction!
💀
You can't call people that, I don't care how knowledgeable DX
It's still such an astonishing video. He opens his mouth to say some hateful Charlie Kirk thing, like someone put fresh batteries into a particularly nasty toy, and pop pop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is. I didn't know much about him because I'm not American and try to ignore this kind of thing, but it was almost elegant in its simplicity.
He died doing what he loved: downplaying gun violence.
"Counting or not counting gang violence?"
The differentiation is interesting. To me, gang violence doesn't so much count in death statistics because it's almost never random, and random gun violence is what people fear and talk about when they point to statistics. (I didn't state that very well.)
Don't join a gang and don't kill yourself and your odds of getting shot drop through the floor. NOT that those deaths should be dismissed! But when people talk about, "I might get shot walking down the street.", that's bull.
What the distinction really means is, "Brown people killing each other doesn't count." The dog whistle is audible to me. I've never heard anyone online or IRL point this out, but the racism is clear as a bell.
The prevalence of gangs is a direct result of racist law enforcement. Saying "oh simply don't join a gang" is minimizing a difficult decision involving their own safety.
I don't think they were saying "don't join a gang, it's so simple!" They're saying "if you don't join a gang, your chances of dying to gun violence goes down" which I can absolutely believe to be true
The prevalence of gangs is a direct result of racist law enforcement.
Eh, moreso drug prohibition.
Alcohol prohibition way back in the day gave us The Mob. Drug prohibition today gives us gangs.
Legalize and regulate drugs, and 95% of these gangs' funding vanishes. Without their funding, they wither and shrink away to almost nothing.
(Though, to be fair, a lot of motivation for drug prohibition in the first place circles back to racism.)
Joining a gang can also be a self-preservation tactic against other. I get all that, just trying to unpack why that stat exists.
When gun nuts trot it out, the message is clear. Even GunTubers who don't talk politics will sometimes let it slip into conversation.
It's definitely something to see all the blood drain out of a fascist's head in about 1.5 seconds.
He died for Texas' wins.
Who's on the list for FL, LA and other red state?
Very kind of him to sacrifice for the cause.
Good thing they shot him just in time. Otherwise he might’ve been wrong!
As the prophecy foretold
Is this true though? Can anyone find the quote?
Kirk often warned that left-wing residents from “failed” blue states (like California) relocate to conservative states and “ruin” them politically. For example, he has cautioned that California transplants could turn Texas or Arizona blue.

So what I've gathered he didn't say it won't happen but rather was afraid it would.
Edit: also, the context is people moving there not people turning their back to GOP which is what happened from my understanding
Mac Miller said he wouldn't join the 27 club and then died of a fentanyl OD at 26. Charlie Kirk said Texas wouldn't turn blue in his lifetime and then died of a fentanyl OD two years before that happened. Eerily similar.
The gift that keeps on giving.
Heheheheheheheheheheh
