EU Parliament refuses moment of silence for Charlie Kirk [View all]

FINALLY.

One thing that bothers me most is the quickness and willingness of the extreme Far Right parties worldwide to make sure they’re in unison. They’re all rising at the same time in a coordinated effort to support white supremacy and Christofascism. It’s a frightening network. A Peter Thiel spider web.

Kirk was nobody. But he was Far Right and a full on white supremacist . The moment he died Elon and Trump were both yelling, then worldwide leaders with the same ideologies also took up martyring him.

To the rest of us it’s ridiculous as well as gross. To them it’s worshipping Far Right’s racism and Christofascism ideologies using Kirk as tool.

This was eye opening. The ones who gave condolences and asked for recognition for his death exposed they’re part of the same fascist movement as Trump.
