I’m late to reply, but I don’t think we’ll see anything in the near future. I’d bet on a doomsday scenario where democrats are elected and republicans panic over mass-importing of voters (real or not) and see no solution. I don’t think many people would justify any sort of revenge while Trump is president. Right now it looks like people are unifying and peacefully remembering Charlie Kirk. Liberty Hangout had some interviews and people in the videos were optimistic.
When I first read about this, I understood that the assassin had destroyed the note, perhaps burned it or ripped it up, and that the FBI somehow put it back together or found the traces of ink on a burned note. Am I wrong?
cry about it. him abd his extended circle killed far more people with their actions.
You mean he sniped people with his words? lol, get real kid.
I’m pretty sure the first one is fake and the second one is a joke. Nobody gets sweaty and nervous because a black person is the captain or co-pilot. He’s just making a joke about DEI which was going around recently. Some of his opinions may be ridiculous but we’ve all said ridiculous things. I didn’t know anything about Charlie Kirk until this week, I’m actually quite impressed with his college debates. He was giving people political experience and being really decent with people, he even discouraged crowds from jeering the speakers.
I can only imagine the kind of trauma that could impart. I truly feel bad for those kids.
Thousands of people saw the video of him being killed, that’s not great either. Luckily I’ve seen worse, I’m now immune, but a lot of zoomers just saw graphic violence for the first time and they will have problems with mood and sleep for a while.
Also, I worry this is going to be America’s Reichstag Fire or Kristallnacht moment. This could very well lead to pogroms against leftists and ethnic minorities.
I’m in New Zealand so I don’t care if revenge killings claim lives, let Americans fight for control of their country lol. That said, there are plenty of us who are reasonable, the problem is with the “neuro-diverse” teenagers and twenty-something year olds on Lemmy and other left-wing echo chambers. These people who never had a real job in their life, they just work in government office jobs and live with mum and dad. Of course they’re brainwashed. I just hope that they grow up soon. Ideology isn’t something that you have to believe to the letter. Nobody has to live their whole live according to ideology. It’ll only lead to that person becoming miserable.
Let the revenge killings begin, it’s the only way the left will learn.
We won’t see the full consequences for years. A lot of people saw Charlie killed and they’re going to start questioning why people should be killed simply for offensive use of language.
On Gab Social they’re already saying that there’s no point in being a “moderate” might as well go full-fash and arm to the teeth. If the left will kill a conservative jew-lover like Charlie Kirk, then the bar for a justified shooting is very low.
I’m 34 and I don’t think Charlie Kirk looked old or bitter. People need to stop wanking themselves into a gooning, salivating delusion that people with their views are good looking, whereas people with opposing views are ugly. People are so delusional in these echo chambers - they need to look in the mirror.
Support for this will grow, I hope. Linux on PC has been really easy for the past 10 or so years, but phones often have locked bootloaders. There’s not that much support for different models either, feels like a work in progress. I hope someone just starts up a volunteer organisation that can provide pre-installed free software. Not just one centralised company, but multiple outlets.
How does it compare with LineageOS? What are the pros and cons in your opinion?
Correct, and the other problem is that if you live in a house with 6-8 other people, and don’t even have anywhere to park a vehicle (as in, not even on the road outside) then it’s never going to work. I imagine what it’d be like if I did a trade, but I couldn’t get to work in the morning because another tenant decided to sleep-in and block my vehicle from leaving the drive. Just ridiculous.
It’s always best to regulate the goldberg’s online businesses.
There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America’s 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I’m so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.
Free speech for pornographers, but instant IP/device ID ban if you criticise Israel online.
That must have been the note under the keyboard, maybe the boyfriend panicked and destroyed it, but then later told the FBI what was written. It was just badly communicated in the news.
