I thought he might be more on the libertarian side until he posted over in the "What's Making You Happy Right Now" thread about the US having "Storm Troopers"... c'mon Nico if we're aspiring to be the authoritarian evil Empire from Star Wars shouldn't we have an army of Emperors and Darth Vaders instead?... Storm Troopers have plenty of guns, but they're not particularly good at hitting their intended targets... so I guess that's an apter metaphor for most of MAGAmerica.

Though in all seriousness I might like some Storm Trooperesque armor... at least if it's comfortable enough, and it will stop rifle rounds (and ideally sonic attacks too... got to have my hearing to keep fiddling as Home boils & burns).

Mods can lock this thread. I was curious if the left people could see the good Kirk was trying to do..it looks like they couldn't.

That makes me sad inside.

You're utterly deluded. Or a purposeful troll. Probably both, actually.

No/no/don't care.

On a further note I find it legitimately disturbing that anyone could consider what this man was doing as in any way good. The racism, the radicalization of children, the propagation of hate. How is any of that 'good'. "Oh, but free speech". Why is that always used to justify people being horrendous. Make it make sense.

There is also the branch of (Perhaps conspiratorial) thought that Kirk was into Trans women and didn't understand that this fact didn't make him gay, it just meant he was attracted to femininity, and thus liked "women" regardless of their assigned gender at birth...and didn't know how to deal with that, so he lashed out (Note: this spins out of a Trans OF creator saying that Kirk had been subbed to her page for months and spent like 30k on said page)...so it makes it even worse if that was the case, getting something out of the Trans community while ripping into them publicly.

He was, no matter how you look at it, an objectively bad person who understood how to use the publics baseless fears to grift money and content.

Especially as that same tree speech is so Karen denied those who don't fall into line with his ilk.
