Leftists didn't immediately turn his death into a spectacle

going to have to disagree with you on that one.

[-] Red_October@hexbear.net 48 points 3 months ago

Yeah dawg the memes were pretty lit

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

we don't have the media jobs to get paid for it

that was sort of my point, memes on hexbear/instagram isn't the same as full on presidential endorsement at your funeral, having major news channels broadcast it as a tragedy and genuinely float around the idea of minting coins. That's a spectacle. Not internet memes.

What influential leftist was up on TV, What leftist was taking over his foundation and what leftist is turning it into a national tragedy in american governance? That is exactly what I mean, not "dank memes on instagram and hexbear!!"

What influential leftist was up on TV

There are influential leftists on TV?

I guess Hasan's stream gets covered by those kinds of things and he immediately went to condemn violence or whatever.

Either way, leftists independently immediately were celebrating while most people were still in the "what's a charlie kirk?" (many of whom very soon became "I heard Charlie was a great man. A genius they say" people). No top-down propaganda machine needed other than Charlie living a life that would lead to good people celebrating its loss. But yeah: it wasn't a spectacle - people were just genuinely happy.

Yup, what I mean. Us celebrating isn't a spectacle, what occurred afterwards to manufacture the hysteria in media certainly was, though.

[-] 666@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

There's a lot of things that would be done if they let us.
