Master Threads
I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t give a shit about politics. Just leave me and my family alone and I’m good. I’ll pay my taxes if you just fuck off.

I never cared about Charlie Kirk or the things he had to say and I still don’t. But sometimes things happen that you can’t ignore, and for me this is one.

He was practicing free speech and when a group of people couldn’t handle losing the argument because of their fragile ego, someone in the group was radicalized, and an innocent man was killed.

I don’t give a shit about left/right, trump/biden, whatever i think it’s all equally fucked. I don’t want to pretend this is a left to right or right to left only problem here either.

I will say that his death won’t be in vain and we all know that. Maybe we need to take a step back from what we think the problem is and look at the system as a whole. A revolution can happen without violence

@shiv I know man. Your first sentence is why.
You need to.

Your last sentence has never happened in the history of mankind.
 


I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

But we aren't "one people" are we?

The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

And the other side murdered him.

Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.

But then there will be a reckoning.

My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.

So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

Ours is just beginning.
 

Didn't the government whisk some members of the Saudi royal family out of the country very quickly?

Not sure if this is a popular position.. why increase the age?
It reeks of we the government knows what’s best for you.
What I've read is the retailers, manufacturers and their supporters like the EO and age limit. May eventually incorporate liquor stores hours of operation. All THC vapes were banned on Sept 1 through a law previously passed.

I never knew this stuff was legal to sell until the first bill was vetoed 2 months ago. I never go to tobacco/smoke shops.

The problem is they won't leave you alone. They will tax you only to demand more. They will infringe on your God given freedoms only to infringe more. They will take your complacency and compliance as weakness and exploit it. We should all start giving a shit about politics. If we had we wouldn't be in the fucking mess. That is the problem with not giving a shit, they do and they wont stop till every ounce of freedom and comfort we take for granted is gone. So we have now reached the point where even the ones sitting on their hands and wanting to just be left alone. Are all wondering how we got here? I suggest looking in the mirror. It's not good times breed weak men. Good times breed complacency and compliance and here we are.

Thanks for responding to that. Exactly right. They will never leave us alone and everyone should give a shit about that.

Appreciate you and you make good points, but when I look in the mirror I can honestly say I have never been complacent or complied - this website is what I contribute. I just choose my battles because I only have so much energy
