Remember kids, fascists need a martyr & will happily make their own if needed.
DC does need more public restrooms
Thermite.
Omg. Please let this happen. Not because I care about Charlie. No, he was a racist asshole who reaped the rewards if his own rhetoric.
No no. I just want a sculpture to try and figure out how close he should make Kirks eyes. Knowing that someone had to actually objectively think about that makes me feel all warm and tingly on the inside.
We could have something that transcends this.
That one already looks a lot like him, they can just use it.
That would be recycling, which is woke. They’ll need it manufactured by slaves in saudi arabia to ensure its not woke.
Except maybe it could dispense drinks from it’s neck hole.

Charlie Kirk is not deserving of a bust as good as this. I’m not being sarcastic.
New public toilet! Sweet
Worst administration ever.
I mean sure but we knew that back in January of 2017

Kirk organised but did not attend the so-called “Stop the Steal” protests after Trump lost the 2020 election and helped coordinate buses for the 6 January 2021 rally led by Trump near the White House, where the outgoing Republican president urged the crowd to “fight, fight, fight” to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden.
Putting a monument for this turd in the capital he tried to overthrow is just perfectly republican. These people are going to milk this guys death for the next dozen years at least.
Conservative, not Republican. Wilson, a Democrat and tied with Jackson for worst president ever, though Trump is working towards that but I digress. Wilson is responsible for authoring Southern Revisionist History, the refounding of the KKK, and all those Confederate statues that we finally started tearing down.
It’s going to be relentless. Right now, some washed up pop-country knobhead is probably in the studio recording The Ballad of Charlie Kirk.
Until the next one who has been preaching violence gets a taste of it.
How is this not the Onion
What has Charlie Kirk actually accomplished, though? Besides spreading hatred and bigotry, that is?
He’s like the anti-MLK. Everything he stood for is the worst that conservatism has to offer.
I’ll be honest, outside of Reddit/Lemmy I know exactly nothing about him. I just always assumed he was yet another far-right extremist podcaster. Like Andrew Tate, but allowed to be in the US. Side note, it took me forever to figure out who Andrew Tate was, because I think people thought I was trolling when I asked “who is this dork?”.
Incredibly replaceable, alt-right influencer, Your matt wahs your shapiro honeslty they all blend together for me.

To a point, yeah, but he was far more influential and sick than what used to be the average. Shapiro looks down right reasonable when compared to kirk, and kirk’s outlet has managed to worm its way into schools. Like, officially.
He had a dream that america becomes like in the handmaid’s tale.
He got some youths interested in politics
I think that’s it
I mean, yes though. He was a huge influence on the reason the US is the way it is now and a big reason why so many young men think the way they do and elected the people they did.
He accomplished a pretty huge amount of shit. Just not good shit.
I’ve heard some say “it’s better for someone to get into politics and disagree with me than to be apathetic”
On shit like tax burden and foreign policy not on who counts as a human being.
Yeah I don’t know how politics descended that far
We never finished the job. The civil war? We didn’t finish the reconstruction, we let those bigots keep their power. The Nazis? We hired those monsters.
By letting horrible bigots have power, by not having actual protections against bad-faith actors, by tolerating hateful rhetoric despite the obvious cost to society.
also the fact that charlie himself was recently ranting about files too, so the timing is very suspicious. because kirk has huge influence over young college age incel-to-gop pipeline, hes a threat.
Wait did he? looks at kirks twitter well these posts weren’t there when I last looked at that. (after his death.)
This dude had more unreliable narrator vibes than an Iain Banks Novel.
I am assuming they put an excerpt from “I have a dream” for MLK. I wonder what they’ll put for CK? The empathy one, the sacrifices must be made for guns one or his actual final words about “gang violence”?
“Glglugglgulguguguglllgguuu”
Wisest thing he ever said.
Kirk was more a Goebbels than an MLK, and more a Horst Wessel than a Goebbels. And even then, not one who was that good at sticking to the party line.
They’ll need to use an electron gun to carve the face on the regular sized head if they want to make the scale accurate.
