Which lives matter and which don't: A Charlie Kirk Story.

You will never see commentary and insight like his on mainstream media and even most independent outlets. It's not just revealing on how state-sanctioned violence is condoned across the board and overseas, but how concentrated power only venerates deaths which threaten that power. The rest of us can die in a hole and STFU.
 
You're going to have to summarize what this nitwit was trying to say. I, and I suspect anyone with even an ounce of intelligence, isn't going to sit through 15 minutes of this narcissistic bimbo's commentary.

As a reminder, Lorenz is the woman who claimed she felt "joy" over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Thompson. So do tell, what important insight does this progressive ghoul have to say about the murder of Charlie Kirk?
 
She makes an excellent point.

The great right wing hypocrisy is boldly on display.

What has been done to immigrants, JFK, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Palestinians in Gaza, and American Black People such as George Floyd and Brianna Taylor, in the name of Right Wing Violence makes the right wing outpouring of emotion over Kirk, ring very hollow.

It is inappropriate to order the national flag at half-mast for this right wing activist.
 

Several states lowered there flags to half staff to honor George Floyd. Who led a better life, Kirk or Floyd?
 

I couldn't even get half way through the video....jeesh. Typical hyped up talking points only speaking of one side, ignoring the other to make it seem much different than reality. People listening to this crap all of the time, it's no wonder why they believe Nazi's are everywhere......good gawd!

Yes, and how many riots broke out after Kirks death like they did after Floyds?
 
Those of you who think Charlie Kirk spread hate are so misguided in their thinking.

Yes, if you're a right-wing Christian theocrat, his positions are not hateful. Hate is relative to your beliefs.
 
Sure, that explains why Trump is trying to curve crime in places like Chicago and DC, it's because of white people.
 
Hate much?

I did. The powerful only venerate the deaths of the powerful or those who uphold the positions of the powerful, whereas the rest of the population go under the radar and are crushed under the bootheel of the systems that Charlie Kirk stood for. A massacre of children is barely a blip compared to the death of a person who supported the systems and violence which massacred those children. Am I talking about school shootings? Foreign policy? Genocide? Who can say. It's all the same, and gets the same level of coverage.

As to the comparisons between Charlie Kirk and George Floyd: Here goes.

George Floyd was a man minding his business until he was choked to death and murdered via state violence. The fallout was not just about one man, but about a system which has crushed the lives of untold people, families, and which disproportionately targets minorities and the poor for being minorities and for being poor. It was a fallout of state violence, oppression, and systemic disenfranchisement.

Charlie Kirk was a hatemonger who was killed by someone who apparently hated him. He was actively trying to make the country worse with the backing of billionaires and drove right-wingers to madness with deranged conspiracies and propaganda.

Charlie Kirk lived a more successful life than Floyd -- but better? What's the metric? Did he contribute positively to the world or did he subtract from it?

George Floyd was a thug. While a small time drug dealer shortly before his murder, his crime career peaked in 2007 when he and his buddies broke into a woman's apartment, with another woman and a toddler present. Floyd -- the man you find a more sympathetic figure than Kirk -- held a gun to the woman's abdomen while his friends grabbed the valuables. Floyd did not deserve to die, but he was a certified piece of human shit.

Charlie Kirk was a law-abiding family man, looking to do no more than argue his views on public policy. Views, I realize, you hate, but then again, that's what killed Kirk: hatred of his views.
 
I did. The powerful only venerate the deaths of the powerful
.....George Floyd.....
