US Elections (& Politics) :)

I think conservatives calling out the leftist with their own hypocrisy should continue. The problem with the Republican party was they they always "played nice". In other words they acted all dignified and responded with "oh dear" when they were getting kicked in the balls. The libs just ran roughshod over the conservatives like a bully taken lunch money from a skinny girl. On the one hand you have people saying conservatives like people named Stephen Miller should tone it down but at the same time jumping on the Steve Bannon wagon agreeing it's time to round 'em up. Maybe the plea is to just shut up then kick ass and take names? From what I've seen most of the social media platforms like X, FB, Twitter, et all are mind wasting sewers and people would be better to spend less time filtering through the nonsense. It's mostly brain rot entertainment. Society as a whole is for the worse because of those kick hit zinger posts that are meant to be "liked" and reposted with so much ease. I'm pretty much way past tired of reading about "social media influencers". Can we get these people a real job that contributes to society rather than brain rots the zombie followers?

One other thing I'd like to clear up because it comes up a lot.

In an open discussion environment like say X, I don't "follow" just people I agree with most. Thats simply pretending, trying to hide cognitive dissonance.

Thats why you'll see me post from a variety of people, even liberals. For instance I dont generally follow Bannon.

On social media, like in life, you can choose to only hear what you want to hear, or you can accept that some people you may not otherwise like or care for their opinions, sometimes comes up with something smart you agree with. I dont really pay too much attention who posted the content unless there's some real good reason to do a deep dive.

You can choose to decide if you agree with an opinion based on the actual opinion, or you can choose to revert to Red Team/ Blue Team mentality which requires less thinking.

If you're only argument is with the person who had the idea vs the idea itself, you're just lazy.

Was Charlie Kirk becoming an anti-Zionist?

No.

Did Charlie Kirk have an Israel problem? Yes.

Let me to explain. Audience capture is real. It happens to everyone: influencers, content creators, independent journalists, entertainers, etc.

And Charlie Kirk’s audience was growing more and more discontented with Israel. He was getting confronted on the regular over Israel’s influence on our government and the constant prioritization of Zionist interests by Republicans in Congress.

And let’s get real: it’s not easy for anyone besides the most diehard Israel-Firsters to defend Israel these days. So getting confronted by young conservative men, over America’s obvious subservience to this foreign regime… the same young men he had empowered to push back against the globalists… couldn’t have been easy.

As time wore on, his frustration with this became evident. He vented about not being able to criticize Israel’s government; he vented about secular Jews supporting so many liberal causes. And probably most problematic of all: he started to give a platform to antizionist voices (albeit, moderate ones).

Does that mean “Israel” offed him? No.

But Charlie Kirk was a good family man, with few vices and an ideological commitment to America First. And he commanded the most organized conservative youth movement on the planet. So if he was starting to view Israel as more of a liability than an asset then he absolutely was a threat to Zionism.

Anit-Zionist like the villgecrazylady ("it takes a village") can put out all the Jew hating opinions they want, that does not make it true.

Here is just one of many of Charlie's recent comments on the issue.



The Anti-Zionist's are of the camp if you say something enough it will become truth.

For those who don't know Kaliningrad is not in mainland Russia, it doesn't share land border with Russia but it's still Russian region. Nato countries bordering it have made statements many times about cutting off it's road and rail access with some EU politicians even making statements about invading it. These are Russian red lines.

Saw that. Also saw NATO had some type of maneuvers going on near that border yesterday?

Somebody is going to slip up and start a shooting war between NATO and Russia. Seems like some want it to happen.

Another source:

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partner: source

Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday.

That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman.

Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin.

Federal and state authorities revealed during a Friday press conference that a “roommate” cooperating with their investigation revealed communications from a contact named “Tyler” that described bullet casings similar to those found at the scene and discussed the “need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point.“

Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck by a single bullet shortly after being posed a question on his “American Comeback” college speaking tour about transgender mass shooters.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” asked attendee Hunter Kozak.

I wonder what he means by "I'm very sympathetic towards the dispensationalist view"?

Can you expand on your understanding of what Charlie might have been referring to, and why you are relating this to the Anti-Israel issue?

If you watch the video he goes into what he means right?

I have very little knowledge regarding the "dispensationalist view"... In my ignorance, I would call it "part of the rapture thing"... I was trying to understand what Charlie meant by being sympathetic towards it... I probably should have just googled it, which I have, and now understand what he meant:

EDIT: @Oceanslider ... I see you have edited/expanded your question to:

"Can you expand on your understanding of what Charlie might have been referring to, and why you are relating this to the Anti-Israel issue?"

I was not relating this to "the Anti-Israel issue"... just simply trying to understand what he meant by being sympathetic towards a view!

You're basing something off a word (sympathetic) that could have varied meaning, on a subject that has multiple sides.

I think in his statement he is understanding of how a debate about it could be derived.

I don't think AI's definition is right in this case of such a subject.
