So I’m browsing my phone and I see Kyle Rittenhouse, remember that shithead? He’s famous because he killed someone. The right tried to turn him into a celebrity but he was so helpless he couldn’t hack it. He couldn’t handle being on a leash for thousands of dollars. I’d embarrass myself on a street corner frequented exclusively by people I have a crush on for the kind of money this murderer threw away.

Meanwhile Charlie Kirk was a genius by comparison. A bright rising star. Still a fucking racist dumbass but capable of wearing a suit and putting on an act. Capable of speaking while holding eye contact. Capable of subtly decreasing the circumference of his face. Remember the bar is “not a remorseless murderer” so clearing it isn’t impressive but I will give Charlie credit where it’s due: he didn’t kill anyone.

And I think about this. How the right wing is so destructive it can’t help but be self destructive. It produces white male gunmen and here’s 2 case examples from within their own house: Charlie gets killed by the kind of person they defended in Kyle. Enshitification in action. What a bummer. What a letdown. Poor Charlie couldn’t even find a partner who would mourn his passing. Meanwhile Kyle, the guy they all wish they could forget is still around.

It’s a brutal fate. shrug-outta-hecks. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.

When I think of brutality in his passing, I think of his statements regarding people needing to be sacrificed for the second amendment. It's a sort of poetic justice - a divine play where the philosophy gets tested by reality. Are you sure this is how it should be? Even if precious things get taken away from you?

If you take Nazism and Zionism as examples, you can come to see that ideology can be violent and espousing it can lead to death. So, to that end, when I hear people plead about the normal type of guy he is after being killed by his own ideology, it almost reads to me like an excuse for the terror. If it's the cost of doing business when it's a school, then it's the cost of doing business when it's shrinkface

These rightoids are learning the lesson most of us learned in school: Talk shit, get hit
