I mean like Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, etc. It's so blatant to me that their existence is about wasting people's time. They're pure sophists. They probably believe in everything they claim, or more probably, they have a flimsier understanding of truth/reality than we do and can believe contradictory things.

But none of that matters. They exist to waste your time. They're keys being jangled by fracking billionaires and possibly also the state department.

Yes I know the Sartre quote about antisemites and all but this is worse than that. It doesn't even matter that Shabibo or Dan Bongos knows they're playing a game, because reality doesn't matter to them. Fascists believe base level reality is pointless to explore, because there's a deeper core reality that affirms their every belief, even if that belief changes day to day or isn't internally consistent. They're not materialists, they're fixated on simply being correct and powerful and whatever dirty, stupid reality contradicts them doesn't matter. They're never going to care about scientific documentation about trans people, or studies about healthcare costs, or homelessness rates, or anything else, because it doesn't matter what they care about. They believe in a truer, super-reality above our own that makes them always correct no matter what happens. But again, that doesn't matter.

They exist to waste your time and mine. I know they're not going to truly go away and that I'm wasting my own time by even posting about this but jesus christ can these people just go away. They're an annoying swarming static noise of pure nothingness that for some reason everyone has to pay attention to. People I'd otherwise respect or listen to have to talk about them. Movie reviewers who otherwise might focus on interesting indie films might have to talk about whatever stupid slop Matt Walsh puts out.

Why does anyone talk to Charlie Kirk anyway? He's the worst offender to me because no one knows who the fuck he is. Where did he even come from? This guy simply appeared as if he were already famous for something. Just farted into existence and people started pretending he was valuable enough to have on talk shows and colleges and fuck who the fuck is this guy and why do I have to know about his stupid face

yeah I know, touch grass touch grass, I'm trying, but even just going out and about, talking to random people or meeting up with coworkers for tea or something these fascist media bozos have a way of infecting casual conversation, or like showing up in the corner of my eye on one of the TVs at a Chili's

Lenin had the right idea when he put a bunch of reactionary public intellectuals on a leaky tug boat and exiled their stupid asses. Please wake up, kind Vladimir Illych.
