A large % of People have always been “dumb”, they just can be heard now .

The worlds best and brightest aren’t spending multiple hours a day jumping between Twitter/X, Reddit , Bluesky , FB, Instagram, TikTok, and local message boards

Yep, there is something to the idea of retirees at home with nothing to do. It’s just another version of QVC and Home Shopping Network.

We need to identify these people, maybe with an app or something.

Like a secret police? That's rough.

I’ll have to find the video of a commentator saying Charlie looks like his mother ####ed a flounder.

How about a marker on drivers licenses?

The proliferation of white nationalist beliefs masquerading as different political views and the openness with which so many posters are comfortable with admitting they share those views has to be concerning to anyone who has a shred of decency in them. It's a lot like how they were fine with Nazi flags at freedom convoy rallies.

Good thing there aren't any sayings about being judged by the company you keep. That might be awkward.

Two Mutts Podcast, which was already a horrific thing, made a charlie kirk memorial post. If you needed another reason to avoid them, there it is.

Who is fine with Nazi flags? Source please.

[BigThief]

If someone with a nazi flag is comfortable enough showing up to an event I'm attending I'm wondering why I'm there. Nazi adjacent isn't great either.

You didn’t have a problem with it at the time.

The motorcycle riding, cool as #### Fonzie that I grew up with stood up for the little guy and wouldn't have celebrated a bully.

Several years ago Henry Winkler was here in Calgary speaking at a community event. There was a line-up to get into the venue. He greeted everyone personally as they went in.

I read today Chapter 13 of Naomi Klein’s Doppelgänger, “The Nazi In The Mirror”. You can download here (quite sobering):

Are you saying you’ve changed your mind and the Nazi flags and neo-Nazi presence at the Freedom Convoy was concerning and that some protestors were, in fact, Nazis, violent, racist, etc?

I always appreciate a good political cartoon, and this guy has been killing it like Tyler lately.

When Fred Rogers died, nobody had to comb through all his quotes in order to clarify what he really meant.

Thanks for sharing that. On the day that the UN declared genocide, too. Very timely.
I've never been a huge fan of Klein, but credit for a compelling piece, especially from 2023, given all that has happened since.

Pulling this out of the American Politics thread as requested.

Messages between Tyler Robinson and his roommate have been released:

September 10, 2025
TR-drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.

**The roommate looked under the keyboard and found a note that stated, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
Roommate**

RM-What?????????????? You’re joking, right????

TR-I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.

RM-you weren’t the one who did it right????

TR-I am, I’m sorry

RM-I thought they caught the person?

TR-no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering.

RM-Why?

TR-Why did I do it?

RM-Yeah

TR-I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them finding it.

RM-How long have you been planning this?

TR-a bit over a week I believe. I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don’t wanna chance it

TR-I’m wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle. … I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle … idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn’t trace to me. I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn’t have the ability or time to bring it with. … I might have to abandon it and hope they don’t find prints. how the #### will I explain losing it to my old man.

TR-only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel. ...

TR-remember how I was engraving bullets? The ####in messages are mostly a big meme, if I see “notices bulge uwu” on fox new I might have a stroke alright im gonna have to leave it, that really ####ing sucks. …

TR-judging from today I’d say grandpas gun does just fine idk. I think that was a $2k scope ;-;

TR-delete this exchange

TR-my dad wants photos of the rifle … he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. Hes calling me rn, not answering.

TR-since trump got into office [my dad] has been pretty diehard maga.

TR-Im gonna turn myself in willingly, one of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff.

TR-you are all I worry about love

RM-I’m much more worried about you

TR-don’t talk to the media please. don’t take any interviews or make any comments. … if any police ask you questions ask for a lawyer and stay silent




A strange conversation, to say the least. Lot of speculation from both sides of the political spectrum, it seems fabricated.

I never said any of those things. Resalien said they were fine with the nazi flag at the convoy rally. I asked who was fine with it and to provide a source please.

You don't need a source, though. There was natzi flags at every trucker convoy rally and if you were attending you'd see them. And if you're willing to stay and mingle with the group after seeing them there?
