What a sad, stupid little man.

Car Brain and racism are both reactionary movements

It’s so transparent

Like, it’s just a catch all dodge to avoid addressing the root causes of problems. Oh, traffics bad? No, don’t question suburban development patterns, don’t question planing policy, don’t question whether it’s realistic or practical for everyone to own and operate personal cars. That could undermine the profitability of various special interests. Instead, blame it on these vulnerable populations who we can visibly brutalize for you.

Edit: to be clear, this is just one facet of the scape goating of immigrants and other vulnerable groups to avoid having to have difficult fights with powerful special interests.

Fully scapegoating.

You beat your wife? Its the immigrants who took your job to make you do that.

Those are the ones who could read

That's just the ones who admitted it.

the other 60% loved it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

And they say the police don’t improve over the decades! Back in my day the number, whatever it really is, would have been higher

Charlie Kirk pretty much always argues in bad faith.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Saw a video of him the other day claiming white privilege doesn't exist because black people are able to do anything a white person can.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have no idea why anyone with two brain cells to rub together even listens to him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

They do not.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don’t question corporations forcing people to come into an office to work on a computer all day.

He can't wait wearing that Hugo Boss uniform. Or those white blankets.

Narrator: It did not help solve that.

Charlie Kirk thinks mass deportations will clear his skin and enlarge his tiny face

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. His tiny face makes my skin crawl.

[–] carlossurf 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Generations of his family in breading lol

That's almost worse.

This is actually a slipping of the mask imo. The reaction to the LA demonstrations is so anti-ice/trump/military that Charlie is trawling the dregs of think-tank talking points trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator in LA.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Which is funny, because cops are both blocking roads, including highways, and raiding public transit now.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

What a fucking asshole...

I think falling from a great height is too kind a Disney fate for Charlie Kirk. Perhaps he should be permanently turned into a kitten to suffer the effervescent (grabby, drooling) adulations of small children for all of eternity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about a 50t weight dropping onto him?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Too quick, though a classic.

Falling into a deep canyon (or from the top of Notre-Dame) would give him a moment to think about what he's done. More so, being stuck in a lamp in the Cave of Wonders.

I am especially particular to the horror of being torn apart and eaten by hyenas (that you've just betrayed), but I've reserved that for people higher up on the Trump hierarchy.

My whole life I didn't comprehend I was living in Alta California.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Way back in the day, a comic (Carlin maybe?) did a less-dumb version of this joke. Something along the lines of “I’m pro-abortion and I’m pro-death-penalty. I’m pro- whatever leads to fewer people on the 405 at rush hour.”

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I remember Carlin doing a bit about being pro abortion, and pro death penalty, but it had nothing to do with cars and traffic. He just did a whole bit where they turn 4 states into prisons that have a live pay per view feed of death fights, so you can watch people die without leaving your couch. He also was in support of legalized betting on these fights.

He would have loved draft kings.

He was the best :) (Even better that people still misunderstand his humor)

I also notice a lot less traffic on the west side during Jewish holidays. By this logic, is the suggesting rounding them up, too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Not for a few more months, no.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

"Rounding up Jews and concentrating them in some sort of camp, eh? That's brilliant! Why hasn't anyone thought of doing that before?"

Let’s start with Charlie Kirk then

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Yeah im actually in favor of this?

You want people deported to the torture prison to relieve traffic? Put on the pillowcase, charlie.

You want slavery back? Okay. Be a slave. Nobody's stopping you.

You want women to be treated like meat? Well, you'd have to transition first, but...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Holy shit, just when you think he couldn't look like an even bigger idiot he finds a way.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (4 children)

uh? emptied houses and apartments will be reoccupied in no time, car dependent infrastructure will remain

So when all the immigrants are gone and they still hate themselves, and the country....then what?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Then it's the queers next and the commies and then the unmarried women.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

I think union members and muslims go before unmarried women.
