Charlie Kirk tweet:

24 years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9/11

Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City

I know this is not what he intends because he's a fascist bigot, but I read this almost like a positive endorsement.

Enough healing has occurred for an entire city to start putting aside all the reactionary islamophobia that used to be rife after 9/11 when I was younger.

30 years ago a Christian person killed 168 people and injured 684

Now a Christian is running Oklahoma City

See how stupid that sounds people. Swap out the adjectives and it’s quick to see how racist it is

Give Charlie a break, he has such a tiny face

On the plus side for him, it makes a harder target when punching Nazis.

Charlie is Hank Hill's tiny urethra incarnated as a human.

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hank Hill would kick his own ass if any part of him acted like that douche.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

The insecurity that he felt about it though. That's what allows Charlie Kirk to manifest.

Need this in a Meme or billboard. A+ work.

Don’t forget to highlight that the christian intentionally bombed a daycare.

🤣 imagine if we framed all Christians like this? They'd bust a blood vessel in rage. What hypocrites, they're disgusting people.

Any attack on mamdani always sounds like guerilla marketing FOR mamdani. They seem to try to punch down but to me it sounds like they’re punching up

They lost their minds a long time ago.

Nobody mentally stable would support Trump.

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There's a flaw in your logic, here. Mentally stable evil people would/did. I'm NOT mentally stable and I absolutely never would.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, it's about how hateful and/or stupid you are, not mental stability.

Yeah I hate when people try to just say that political opinions they don’t agree with are signs of “mental illness”.

It just stigmatises mental illness.

As if they need an excuse to spew bigotry and hate…

[–] Monument 5 points 1 day ago

They often do, because they lack the courage to show the world their inner ugliness. Only through code and situational implication can they allude to what they hide away.
They’re in the closet. It’s a beige closet painted with a cheap sprayer, using bottom tier paint from a big box store. If it had wooden shelves, trim, or hardwood floors, they ripped it out and put up those flimsy wire shelves and that gray plastic faux-wood flooring. It’s a shitty closet, but it’s their closet. That is their soul, and where they feel the most comfortable being their true selves.
