    Somehow the Charlie Kirk thing doesn’t fit in there so well…

        It’s only an assassination if they attack the ass region, otherwise it’s just sparkling slaughtering

      That wasn’t assassination. That was murder. To be an assassination the target needs to have significance.

        The fact that people are still talking about him and his killing shows that he had significance. He held significance as a prominent right wing nut job and radicaliser. He held significance as a poster boy for the disingenuous “just asking questions” approach of stochastic terrorism. He holds significance as a so-called martyr of the MAGA cult. Just because he didn’t/doesn’t hold significance to you doesn’t mean he wasn’t/isn’t significant. I don’t like that it’s true, but it is.

          Nah the media has been working overtime to try and make him significant but he’s really just a meaningless footnote

        You say that not realizing Israel’s factions did it. He resisted their board p[r]icks, their vision for his own.

        His widow embraced their vision, hitler youth, policing schools both university and k12, grooming the willing.

        The official story is impossible, that rifle at that distance would have turned his neck into hamburger.
