“We wanted a message of unity,” organizer Dayne Webb, youth chair of the Kalamazoo Young Republican Party, said at the vigil event, WWMT reports. “You know that’s what Charlie was all about, is bringing people together, no matter if they disagreed or agreed.
HAHAHA WHAT
bringing all the bigots together?
No, not even all the bigots could agree. One of them disagreed so much he shot Kirk through the throat.
Well, ya know, trans people aren’t people so, ya know, oh, and them colored folk, they aren’t really people neither, maybe 3 fifths of a person, but not actually a real person, so, ya know, and them queers, well, they’re just demons, so can’t count them, so, ya know, charlie loved all the people.
JFC, the least amount of awareness.
Got a naive question, I knew Charlie Kirk only from toiler paper usa memes. Did he make fun of people with other opinions or were his opinions so extreme that others simply avoided coming to his debates?
From what Bernie said it seems like he held some sort of debates like this last one.
I’m completely out of the loop in terms of his history, so please forgive me
Just look up some of his old videos, and find out for yourself. Don’t take our word for it. See for yourself what a horrible person he was.
Honestly, I pay only some attention to these rather marginal characters. I get Kirk and Steven Crowder and Fuentes and Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson mixed up sometimes. But at least in my head, I put them under this “debate me bro” category.
From what I’ve seen of their “debates”, they are run nothing like an actual debate should be, and the scam seems to be that if someone declines to “debate” them, the person would be seen in the minds of idiots that they “forfeited”. Because the debate-me bro’s debate-fu is so very strong. 🙄
If they do agree, it’s only elevating and platforming these marginal characters that feed on being “edgy”. And I really don’t think there is any winning of these “debates” because they are not done in good faith. Again, from the few times I’ve dipped into this kind of thing.
Would they be fired for refusing to print a KKK poster for a dead member? It’s no different.
And yet we allow pharmacist to refuse to provide plan B without being fired.
Yeah, but that’s just for JEEEEEBUS.
So, to recap: post something politically incorrect in opposition to Kirk - get doxxed, and lose your job. Refuse to support propaganda from supporters of this Nazi - lose your job.
- Go to office depot to demand they print a pic of kirk in Nazi regalia.
- Demand they also print images of office depot staff as Nazis
- …
- Profit
Could one of our American friends go to office depot and try to print a massive swastika and see if they refuse. Please. I will pay.
Probably yes.
I used to work for another office store that has since been absorbed into this one. There was an extreme white supremacist who ran a “church” in the area. My first manager told him we would not make his copies but he could use the self-serve machines. A few of my coworkers did not appreciate this stance and may have taunted him a bit.
A new manager came in and asked him why he was using the self-serve and invited him to use our copy services. Most of the department walked out that day.
The materials were what amounted to white supremacy lightly vailed as religion.
oh no my minimum wage job
What a wanking fascists world we live in.
Never be honest about things like this. “We were having problems earlier. Would you be alright with tears, smudging, and crumpling? If not come back in a couple of days and we’ll have it sorted out.”
“Sorry, somehow a hole got poked through the neck on this poster”
Oh no, somebody shit all over it repeatedly throughout the weekend by accident. Don’t worry, you can barely tell. Had one of my colleagues wrap it up for you and put it in your car when you came in so you’re all set.
I might be in the minority here, and I have lost zero sleep over Kirk’s death, but I don’t really want or need Staples/Office Depot workers to decide what should and should not be considered propaganda, and therefore printable material.
Just print my shit.
It’s the hypocritical asymmetric application of the policy that’s the issue here. Employers are retaliating against non-fascist workers for refusing to do work supporting fascist ideology at exactly the same time as they’re rabidly defending fascist workers refusing to do work that goes against fascist ideology.
I kind of feel like this is kind of one of those rare cases where we should ideally be letting the free market do its thing.
If a print shop, bakery, etc. wants to refuse your business on ideological grounds like this, you take your business elsewhere and tell everyone else to do the same.
It of course kind of falls apart with big companies like office Depot, where they’ve often driven all of the local competition out of business and someone can just keep running their complaint up the corporate chain of command until they reach a soulless bean-counter who only sees dollar signs.
Y’all motherfuckers need a Union!
Apparently refusing to make a poster is bad, but refusing to make a cake is good. I honestly can’t tell which parts of their cult are serious and which are satire at this point.
Morality gets defined in terms of what’s best for the cult. It’s the only consistency.
Don’t forget about refusing to dispense prescribed medication as a pharmacist too.
Well one is a labourer, the other a store owner if that helps along.
Yeah, I get that. But it didn’t support my narrative.
Sue them. Sue them good and hard.
Fascism is Capitalism’s immune system. The wealthy use it to protect their grip on society, particularly when large scale factors like a pandemic, war, or poor leadership put that grip at risk it.
If I ever were to go to Office Depot I sure wouldn’t now. I guess my 40 year streak will continue.
Good for them. They did the right thing and will find work from a local who catches this.
Office Depot gonna take a small hit for this one. Target has had it rough too from all angles.
Is there a gofundme for this guy
