    Charlie Kirk shot (merged threads)

    I say the same thing about documentary filmmaking. I used to love all the old school stuff, where the narrator just delivered the lines with a calm matter of fact tone. Now, every narrator needs to try and ramp up the drama to 11 on every line they read, and it's very unpleasant.

    1st Amendment right of Free Speech debate

    What you do on public property can be curtailed slightly more than what you do on private property. Simply because by being public, it is a common good, and your use of it can't infringe on other people's use of it. It gets very tricky to balance that. But think of it like reserving the...

    If I had Elon money I'd be funding slander lawsuits for Kelly Kirk left and right. Everyone posting shit like Steven King did would be getting notice. And the discovery would be about "where did you get the idea Charlie called for stoning gays ?". Keep following that shit back to the...

    Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he'd done it before and knew he could manage it. But that doesn't change the fact that he probably tossed the rifle down and didn't try to climb down with it. So not seeing it in his hands there doesn't mean much.

    Speed vs stealth. The sneakiest way up may not be the fastest way down. He could take all the time he wanted to get up there without being seen. But once that shot went off he was on a very short clock to get away. And an area that is obscured when everyone is 200 yards away listening to...

    2 of the slogans in the rifle were specifically antifa slogans. "Hey fascist, catch" is not something anyone on the right is likely to write. We are not in the habit of accusing everyone who disagrees with us of being a member of an archaic Italian political party. That's the bread and butter...

    There *are* immediate threats. You can't pull a knife on someone and yell "I'm going to kill you" and then say it's just "free speech". Even if the guy you directed it to doesn't shoot you dead on the spot (and justifiably so), you should still be able to be prosecuted for the threat.

    No, not all human lives are equal. Some people are exceptional and their lives *are* more valuable than average. And some people are worthless pieces of shit and their lives have negative value. Dr Jonas Salk and Dr Joseph Mengele are not the same.

    The left invented cancel culture. It will not go away until they start getting burned by it. While I agree with you in principle, that is not where we are as a society right now. If you want to fix things you need to play by the existing rules, not the ones you wish you had.

    So, some fringe groups shitposting. The difference is the groups in Palestine that post maps without any Isreal at all, are the ones running the place. If you read the "greater Isreal" wiki that *you* linked, it's quite clear that it *doesn't* include any areas that are currently claimed by...

    What Mexican territory have we conquered lately? We bought most of what we have that used to be Mexico. Except Texas, but we didn't exactly conquer that. Basically, imperialism is a no go since WWII. Very few nations have tried it at all. Saddam tried it, and got his ass kicked by the...

    Isreal literally tried to give Gaza back to Egypt with the rest of the territory after the war. Egypt accepted the rest but *refused* to take Gaza back. I believe the phrase "those assholes are your problem now" was used. Then Egypt proceeded to build a wall that would make the east Germans...
