NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.


I'd love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.

Right!? We should be talking about that racist asshat Charlie Kirk. A day to remember that hate begets hate and that people have to die to protect our gun rights.

Im gonna a prayer for you tonight stranger.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Don't forget Charlie, you can send prayers down as well as up.

[-] Soktopraegaeawayok@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Definitely, prayer to/for the dead can be of value, in this realm and the next. And Charlie is absolutely Definitely in heaven, thats how it works.

Lord, thank you for our martyred friend Charlie Kirk. He brought truth to young folks dying of starvation of truth. We dont know why you let such evil befall such an undeserving person, but your ways are higher than ours. Bless his family and let his message be even louder than ever and reach more young folks than ever. Bless the shooter. Open his eyes and let him see his errors and may he become a new creation in Christ. Thank you Lord for your love. Amen

Dear Lord please punish Charlie for his sins against humanity. You may not exist, but if you did you would rain hellfire down upon the diseased organization known as Turning Point. An organization that created right wing hate propaganda dividing God's people along imaginary lines. There is no greater sin as to other and dehumanize people.

May Charlie's children learn the truth about their hateful mother and father and disown them before God. Only then can they join the imaginary kingdom of heaven.

May you turn the hearts who have been poisoned against their fellow man, in particular the hater and propagandist Soktopraegaeawayok. He knows not what he does and there is still time to save his soul from eternal damnation. I ask these things of you in the name of our made-up lord and savior Jesus Christ.

[-] Soktopraegaeawayok@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Lol, multiple times you admitted that you dont believe God, and mocked Him. Your empty words are only that, empty.

But I do sincerely pray that God will move in your life and that you will see truth. Amen.

tbh I don't especially care if people want to make politically incorrect jokes in their private chats. Obviously, not wise for a politician to do so. But my friends and I have made politically incorrect jokes in private that obviously don't reflect our actual beliefs. For instance, I am queer, and I make queer jokes all the fucking time for example, but never with strangers.

Lot of leftists racists on Lemmy along with right wing. I was just banned from memes because I told a Tankie that I lived under communism and it sucked. He then denied that I lived under communism or that I was even brown. I then told him I also hate capitalism for commiting genocide on my people, but the communists weren’t much better to the indigenous. He then told me I was again lying and that communists wouldn’t hurt natives.

I called him out on the racist view so I got banned

Edit: as an indigenous person I’ve seen the most racism out of the left these past two years than anytime and it’s concerning. Downvoting me as if it’s not real isn’t helping. Be better than MAGA.

I don't think your post even comes close to proving your assertion "lot of leftists racists on Lemmy". This sounds like it was plucked straight from the on of reddits many self professed I'm the Victim accounts.
