Right-wing lawmakers pushed for a tribute to the U.S. conservative influencer who was shot dead.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on Thursday rejected a bid by right-wing factions to hold a minute of silence for slain U.S. conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
The initiative was first proposed by Charlie Weimers, an MEP from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,” according to an email chain with dozens of MEPs that was seen by POLITICO.
Why would they? He’s a frickin podcaster, not some virtuous political figure gunned down doing their duty to the public. He was paid to be at an event to promote himself and his agenda.
Cuz christo fascism is a global scourg-I mean cance-I mean… uhhhh movement. Yea, That.
They say influencer. I say it’s Propaganda.
Oh this is brilliant!
The far right, or even the normal right (who I believe to be idiots anyway) are completely silent with regard to the hundreds of kids killed by armed assailants in US schools.
That’s because of people like Charlie; who take advantage of people’s ignorance and good will.
His closed end debate style is designed to sedate critical thinking. Example; his response to, “how many trans shooters?” was “too many”. He just plays on peoples morals and preconceptions.
The audience he retains are people who’ve been conditioned by the church to surrogate their faith in god with a human pastor. In this way Charlie cultivates an audience that loves trump based on what Charlie tells them about trump.
I’ll never forget my sister telling me in Dec 2024, how Trumps policies would be the best thing for the USA, because Charlie kirk is “prolific in economics”. Her brain literally broke when I asked her to explain why she thought that.
Why would we care in Europe about a fascist US citizen dying on his own soil? He’s just some random dude for us. More concerning are the murders of school children and the Epstein files.
The only reason I even knew about him was because of people mocking him and denouncing his grifting and reprehensible ideology through memes.
I was fascinated by his manlet body, pumpkin-like head, small face, and chromosomal features.
He’s literally a right wing influencer, nothing else.
Why the fuck should they hold a minute’s silence for this piece of shit anyway. He was an asshole in life, he got shot for his troubles and now the far right are trying to make a martyr of him Horst Wessel style. And that includes some some fellow traveller who happens to be an MEP in this instance.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to organize a minute of farting?
Never heard of Charlie Kirk before the big news.
“Should we have a moment of silence?”
“Absolutely not! He was a Nazi propagandist!”
“Fair enough. Moving on…”
Turning Point and Turning Point UK are funded by the same group of people that they are.
Good on EU…
Fucking disgusting.
yeah the fascist can go shove baseball bats covered in barbed wire and razors up their hairy arseholes
Momentum for a hardcore hateful fascist?
Trump is going to find out soon how ANTIFA the world really is.
Imagine the world boycotting the US?
Of course, Russia won’t be able to help because that will give up the ghost between Trump and Putin. And Putin will have the last laugh as the old Soviet counter to capitalism comes to fruition.
Keep in mind this man defected and is pushing Western anti socialist propaganda.
His theory of social manipulation is what is important in this video.
That video is AMAZING!
The MAGAs are just doing exactly what the Russians want. Everything this guy predicted is coming true. EVERYTHING!
Yup, this video is from the late 80s I believe.
This is the machine having its eggs come home and roost.
This is what all good people should decry from the top of our lungs.
Governments and big money keep us under their thumb and it’s about time the masses wake up and unite against these monsters.
And then what? We all hold hands and have a good cry?
… That video is a former KGB guy claiming color revolution theory as a real thing - it’s total bullshit, dreamed up to entice the same people that fall for Cultural Marxism today. It sounds really good, doesn’t it? But it’s all just confirmation bias - you’re ignoring everything else that’s happening, and the beats he lists off are incredibly common. Oh look:
- The younger generation is more liberal
- Your politicians are corrupt
- The economy is being volatile
- People won’t like changing their mind even when presented with evidence
WOW! But we have recordings of people complaining about the same things carved into megaliths a few thousand years ago, so he’s not exactly going to burn out his crystal ball by predicting they might come up again. It’s the exact same kind of BS the CIA trots out to explain how it overthrew all those South American governments: they didn’t, they just took credit for it and everyone believed them because it sounds so good. If you want more evidence that his theories are bullshit, look around: Did the US fall to a “Global Communist Conspiracy” in the last 40 years…?
Except that everything he saying is actually happening, and it all tracks with Alexandra Dugin’s Foundations of Geopolitics, which is the Russian playbook, Google it.
It may have sounded like a fantasy when this was recorded, but after all these years of seeing Russia make steady progress on brainwashing half of Erica and controlling the government right to the very top, it all sounds like a perfectly accurate prediction.
The guy even talked about it happening right in front of our faces, and we just let it happen. That’s exactly how MAGA rose. They just let themselves be lied to, and they chose to ignore everything else and believe it. And here you are doing exactly what the guy predicted - ignoring the truth.
There are no more opponents of Putin’s course and, if there are, they are mentally ill and need to be sent off for clinical examination. Putin is everywhere, Putin is everything, Putin is absolute, and Putin is indispensable
That Aleksandr Dugin?
(I have read it, it’s… a textbook. Not derogatorily, it says nothing new because that’s not it’s goal and it does present it’s material in a pretty engaging way, it’s just not more than that (and it didn’t really claim to be))
Okay but like, how exactly, did MAGA rise? He doesn’t specify that either, mind, he just makes the controversial claim that people would talk about the rise of a social movement they oppose. This is, in this case literally, propaganda 101. That you’re entrenching yourself so hard against someone presenting a contrary idea is the fundamental way this works. I’m not attacking or rejecting you, I promise, please believe me. I used to be pretty anti-feminist as a teen (thanks reddit), and like the cat says, we all fall for propaganda. There’s no shame in that.
What I’m telling you is that this type of video (I think literally these ones with Yuri Bezmenov), where someone in a position of presumed authority claims that there’s a vast Global Communist Conspiracy (or the like) that will take down America if it doesn’t do things like “teach the next generation True Patriotism”, will be used ten years later as an example in Foundations of Geopolitics. You’re falling for the exact same propaganda that actually led to the rise of MAGA. It’s not “enabling social rise through careful manipulation and Marxist Leninist concepts being unchallenged”, it’s telling both sides they’re right and giving them proof that the other side is clearly being manipulated.
(“It’s right in front of you” in particular means nothing. You can’t hide a huge social movement of the kind needed to destabilize a country, that just… doesn’t even make sense. It’s just a call to accept your own biases as factual. "It’s not a shadowy baseless conspiracy, it’s exactly whatever you think it is!")
The Russia Russia Russia brainworm people are fascinating. They think 15 facebook memes can swing an election. Like, how? Can a fart in a hurricane affect the leaves of a tree in a significant way?
Trump has main character syndrome. Nobody cares. So many people get murdered all the time, why is this guy special? He has a YouTube channel?
Everyone knows what’s going on.
The reason is that he was an anti-free speech hate monger with a huge following. In the minds of the far right those people are literally the only ones with ideas and the right to speak, and any form of attack, physical or verbal is not acceptable.
Another thing is that they want to force others to acknowledge their superiority over others. Remember Nancy Pelosi’s being almost murdered? Or the killing of a Democrat law maker? Or even the attempted kidnapping of a governor? In their minds those are jokes. Trump even insulted Tim Walz when asked if he would give his condolences to the murders that took place there.
This is like how bullies behave towards their victims. If a bully shoves a kid down and breaks something expensive that they have, it is nothing… but if the kid has to serve the bully a drink in a cafeteria and it is 1ml too little or too much, that is the end of the world as far as that person’s competence goes.
