This was two years ago when Charlie Kirk was still alive but I found this relevant

Basically a guy says that Charlie kirk's organization is tax exempt and they mostly target middle and high schools which should concern parents as back then, Kirk was actively trying to get revenge prn back on Twitter and other social platforms. That's what he was campaigning for.

Also, Kirk told kids that democracy wasn't needed and a bunch of other stuff. They're doing this under the guise of a charity.

I honestly didn't know this was two years ago but feel like it's relevant and ages well since the rise of authoritarianism and how seedy Turning Point operates under tax exampt status.

Well... it's a bit like a lot of churches out there. They should also loose their tax exempt status.
I remember people on the Daily Wire complaining on how "they" are comming for your church, when Biden was empowering the IRS. And I'm still wondering what was wrong with that? 😅

@Kwek00 I think that if churches and organizations like turning point are going to be activist organizations then they need to pay their dues. The church has stuck their noses into everything and they sitting there leeching off the community

Our country is not a democracy. It is a republic. He spoke about this and explaining it constantly. Which is the truth he didn’t lie.

@missyann Yesterday I watched a girl ask him a question: "Are you concerned about the democratic process?".

And like the autist he is, he does the: "I don't have a dog, I have a Labrador" rant. Which is something a lot of republicans suffer from. The USA, the last time that I looked, has a presedential and representative liberal democratic system. That's a lot of words, saying that it's a republic but also a form of democracy. No one in the US that talks about their system as a democracy, talks about a "direct democracy", which is also a form of democracy. At the end of the of the video, he never answered the girls question... which isn't that strange, when you are not only trying to poison the well but are also trying to say that you are perfectly fine with minority rule, because there is no majority in the US for christian nationalism. That's exactly why those christian nationalists, are trying to do everything they can to exclude OR diminish the vote of citizens that don't vote for their project. But the "it's a republic", is a red herring. Not to mention... that in todays constellation, the idea of being a "republic" is laughable with the currect administration and congres. Something Charlie had no real issues with, and even cheered on the current affairs.

Yeah well, radicals are ussually really adamant about the messages they deliver. That's pretty much part of the definition. Being "adamant", isn't nescesarily a virtue. You can be unshakable in believes that are unfounded, bad and/or produce negative outcomes.

EDIT:

Also, someone that is "adamant", and is concious of that... shouldn't use the "prove me wrong" slogan. People that are dogmatic, will never accept that they are wrong. That's why Charlie didn't engage in discussion, he did debate. He was unable to really learn anything about the toppics, he only learned how to articulate his dogmatic believes in a better way. That's why Charlie is a charlatan, a snake oil peddler, that presented himself as honest broker. He didn't seek knowledge, he didn't sharpen his views, he just imposed his ideas on others.

@missyann And pretty soon it will be the "Peoples Democratic Republic of Trumpistan".. But please. Continue to argue that a nation cant be a Democracy and a Republic, depending on the electoral process, while the ship continues to sink..😷
Kirk had big funding from rich Zionists and conservatives. He wasn't an amateur.

No posts about Ice today? Is it because a leftist was such a bad shot, he killed immigrants by mistake?

@ron122 Ice wasn't the main subject of the post, stop taking it off subject on purpose to turn it away from the original point
