It is interesting that Charlie Kirk is actually the most mocked person EVER to be assassinated, there’s no comparison Like genuinely it’s just so mainstream that it’s weird. Why lol

Cause he was a raging piece of human garbage who died in quite possibly the most ironic way possible

Bc him and his movement represents the opposite of empathy. He literally said empathy is a weakness. So now these same people are demanding empathy. Here’s the result

Conservatives are insincere. They tried for like a month or two to turn him into a martyr and failed bc nobody actually cared abt Charlie Kirk. There’s a reason they burn through influencers quickly. Peterson, Shapiro, and even to a lesser extent Carlson are all totally irrelevant rn. Completely. Because they don’t actually care, it’s an insincere movement

That’s a really, really good question. You should think about it and research it. ;)

Yea idk about that. Kirkification of everything is so widespread that AI is starting to do it by itself

That would’ve certainly happened if AI was as mainstream as it is now

Def not and his death led to a social movement while Kirk somehow did the reverse and conservatism is dying now

I wouldn’t say conservatism is dying but it’s in for one hell of an identity crisis in the next couple years

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

Leaving in the sense of straying away, not switching party’s

considering Dems are basically the new conservative (they’re the only party technically conserving something, and that would be desperately trying to conserve the former status quo (that’s already gone)) shit look at how much the establishment dems despise the DSA and anyone further left than them. i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a micro “party switch” in a sense (but not truly a party switch, really just a consolidation of conservatism to the DNC and the current push further

extremist stats within the RNC; I doubt either party will truly allow leftist ideologies to take hold in any meaningful way)
