Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
What in the actual fuck is wrong with people. Kirk was literally nobody.
They're doing the Wessel to Kirk - using a relatively unknown person's death as a unifying figure of propaganda and white-washing.
The Wheezle! Propaganda, buuuuuuuuuudddddddy.
The Carotid-Wessel.
Americans have always been into their cult of personality. You see it every time with their presidents, they’re rabidly pro their guy.
Apparently tribalism and jingoism are the core American traits. It's astonishing how strongly.
Yeah, but at least people (generally) know who a President is. This guy was just a random wingnut influencer. Seriously, how many people even know who the fuck he was before he was shot?
You’d be surprised; he was a big influence on the younger MAGAts and pulled a lot of dumb kids to their cause.
I suspect the big tour he was doing was part of a project to groom him to take Trump’s place as the leader of the MAGA cult once the orange menace kicked the bucket.
He had about the same kind of charisma and the skill to make himself sound smart and successful to dumb people.
I mean, quite a few online people know who Catturd is, too. I'd be asking the same question if someone were to murder him as well - do we really need to Ronnie Raygun either Catturd or Charlie Kirk?
I didn't.
This road will now become a public bathroom.
Its Florida after all, so it probably already was
USA is not a country anymore, it's become an insane asylum.
At least in an asylum you can follow the rules and get out to live somewhere else.
Not after they Make Asylums Great Again
Y'all, the denial of power happens on every possible level. We gain power with every single Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway sign that gets "accidentally" knocked down with a car bumper. Or every Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway offramp sign that gets suddenly redesigned overnight with a can of black spray paint. Deny them quarter on every single front.
Cordless angle grinders are cheap.
We really need to do something about all the surveillance cameras.
Paintball guns or any other remote delivery method, if it's close to the ground you can then just bash it with something heavy and if it's high up it won't get fixed because city maintenance doesn't want to allocate the lift truck to it.
I really hope they don't shoot up the memorial signs
One bullet in the sign would just make it more accurate
Steal the signs
Where I come from, it's more traditional to shoot highway signs. In Kirk's case, it also seems somehow more fitting.
Charlie Kirk does not need streets named after him.
I'm reminded of how residential areas often have streets with themes. Like all of the streets are named after birds or after fables or something.
"Just turn right on Joseph Goebbels Lane, then take a right on Rush Limbaugh Blvd, then take a right on Bill O'Reilly Ave, and finally take a right on Charlie Kirk Cir. Yup, that's right. My house is right in the center of the swastika."
Fuck your feelings
We all need to cross out Charlie on all the signs and write in James T.
James T Kirk is fictional and still deserves infinitely more statues than Charlie
Remember what his and others of similar ilk's hateful followers do to a simple rainbow crosswalk.
There's a whole road for ~~antifa~~ profree to work with.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
A handful of assholes got into power with the help of a shitload of idiots, and an incredible number of them live in Florida
