People need to stop pretending Charlie Kirk was someone he was not. Charlie Kirk made the world a worse place. But his assassination doesn’t make the world a better place. It has only caused a greater divide in a country that is already on a knife edge.

A conservative doesn’t murder people. A liberal doesn’t murder people. A psychopath murders people. A killers political affiliation shouldn’t influence your opinion on them.

Rationalising Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine because they where moving closer to NATO, would be like justifying sexually assaulting a woman because she was flirting with other guys. Although I guess that’s exactly how someone like Trump thinks, especially if she—sorry, Ukraine—wasn’t fully developed.

Over the past decades, the people spreading hateful ideologies have become more and more isolated. Their views, once encouraged, have started being rejected. When you aren't being heard anymore you only scream louder and more aggressively in a desperate final attempt to be heard. 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙩.

Why is it always the people who need socialist support the most, who vote against it? It’s not my place to tell a person what they need, or what’s right for them, but voting for a system that benefits the wealthy won’t help you in any way.

Trickle-down economics are a myth. You don’t need to support a system that benefits a group that you will most likely never be a part of. You don’t need to feed the rich while you starve in the kitchen.

As an outsider looking in, the American media completely failed in the last election. If Biden stumbled his words, or forgot what state he was in, every major newsletter would cover it for a week. When Trump did, I would only find out by going into the deepest crevices of left-wing social media.

Trump hasn’t been held to the same standard of his opponents in 10 years. Newspapers should never be owned by private entities with conflicts of interest. Official endorsements for Harris by the Washington Post & L.A Times were blocked by their respective billionaire owners to protect themselves.

Social media is an echo chamber. You get stuck in a filter bubble. Every video/post you see confirms your beliefs, and you don’t get the opportunity to see the other side unless you actively seek it out, which most people—especially those less interested in politics—don’t do. It goes both ways.

𝑇𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡: „a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.“ Trump pardoned 1,500+ domestic terrorists. He’s not only saying it’s okay to be a terrorist—as long as it benefits him—he’s enabling another Jan 6.

It’s amazing watching the American propaganda machines at work. Now they’re comparing freeze frames of Obama, Harris et al. pointing or waving, to what Musk did. It’s not even remotely similar. You don’t have to defend him, it’s okay, guys. You don’t owe him anything. Let it go.

You are up to date.
