    Kirk repeatedly spread misinformation surrounding the death of George Floyd, who experts say died from an officer applying their knee to his neck. Instead, Kirk, who is not a medical examiner and did not examine Floyd’s body, said his death was caused by “overdose.”

    Do we know for a fact that Charlie didn’t die from an overdose?

      I said this a few days ago and we need to 100% gaslight the right.

      • It was AI. Blood doesn’t spurt that way, especially for a hetero man
      • He was talking about gun control right before he got “shot”? Doesn’t that seem suspicious to you?
      • Trump is having him guard the Epstein files. Once he releases them, Charlie will be able to talk about the woke Democrats.

      Honestly, all of these things are plausible to be true, especially in the rights post-truth world. Alternative facts, if you will.

    I’m not saying it was a false flag. I’m saying that if we find out later on that it was a false flag, I will not be the least bit surprised.

    I don’t think it was a false flag.

    1. They were going to enact whatever they intended to anyway.

    2. I can’t think of a person more deserving of being that target.

    3. He didn’t wield any actual power.

      Literally all other Republicans?

      He didn’t wield any actual power.

      That is the point, he was completely expendable.

      Fascists always needs to manufacture outrage to enact their plans because their plans are always bonkers nonsense that the majority of humans naturally oppose.

      Kirk was generic and entirely expendable.

      There’s no strong evidence yet that it was a false flag, but it’s reasonable to point out that’s a possibility.

    Man, hitler was around 45 when he came to power. Trump is allmost old enough to be born when Hitler still was in power. Are they really builing their empire on an old ass dipshit with the runnerup having the charisma of an ingrown toenail?

    I am not surprised that a person wishing death to so many people (lgptq+) gets shot…

    You can’t just threaten to kill and not expect to be shot in a country with no real gun control…

    It’s actually the second thing I thought: he was sacrificed at the demonic altar of American fascism. Our only hope (“our” meaning humanity as a whole), from my POV, is that America and Western Europe as a whole collapse internally so the rest of the world can rebuild knowing full well this morally relativistic, sociopathically selfish, hedonistic and consumerist half-baked set of ideas we call “Western culture” (which has reached it’s logical conclusion in the US, ofc) is in opposition to the survival and eudaimonia of the human race. But I guess we really needed to get burned time and time again to understand fire is hot? 😔
