it’s amazing how when i’m an active agent in my life good things happen and i feel capable and confident in myself and when i just passively let life happen to me terrible things happen and i am miserable. surely no one else has ever noticed this tendency
Okay I kinda assumed that they might try to turn Charlie Kirk into a martyr but seriously what the fuck
Here’s a list of real things that have happened in the past 2 days:
He’s being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom
JD Vance personally escorted his body back to Arizona in Air Force Two
All American flags both in the US and abroad are to be flown at half-mast for the rest of the week
Republican senators are calling for a statue of him to be built in the Capitol (quote: “we have one of MLK don’t we?”)
News anchors are sobbing live on television
The governor of Utah has pledged to give the shooter the death penalty
Vigils are being held nationwide
Evangelicals have been equating him with Jesus
In the House of Representatives a request for a prayer devolved into screaming that the Democrats killed him
The New York Yankees held a moment of silence before the game and proceeded to lose 12-2
People across the country are losing their jobs en masse for criticising him online
MSNBC’s political analyst was asked what created the environment for the shooting, said it could be his divisive rhetoric, and was fired on the spot
A UK student wrote “he got shot lol” in a private group chat and it made the news
The State Department announced that they will revoke the visas of foreign nationals who “praise, rationalise, or make light” of his death on social media
i guess let me put it this way. there is no absolution for a man who lauded, perpetuated, and helped to cement the precise political environment he died in simply because he, too, became its victim.
ricordate che è un film comico
