Comment on British Charlie Kirk wannabe beaten up debating people in Manchester

I had no idea who Young Bob was until a video of him in the front lines of the rioting in Southampton and then being interviewed by Owen Jones in Makerfield. He’s certainly not a British Charlie Kirk: has zero charisma, couldn’t understand Jones’ (pretty basic) questions and struggled to articulate coherent answers. Jones had to continuously repeat and simplify his questioning and even then Young Bob couldn’t comprehend. He’s the big, loud-mouthed rightwinger who sits in Year 11 classes who won’t stop giving his racist and misogynist views and everyone hates.

I like the bit where he thinks he’s been oppressed because he got fired from McDonald’s for been an arse. You just know that he was insufferable to work with.

It doesn’t matter. If you get over a certain threshold of views and interactions it’s like starting a fire, it spreads on its own. The right jump right on it, they love this shit, and more and more people get radicalized because it gets in their feed and since everything is black and white and about outrage and culture war shit you get people on your side simple because if you’re not on “the other side” you’re by definition on their side, or so it’s framed.

And yeah, I believe at some point violence is the answer.

I’d rather fight obese chavs now than having to storm Normandy in 20 years.

  Was that a reply to me? I’m 100% in agreement with you. At some point it will come down to force.

So he’s less of a British Charlie Kirk and more of a British Nick Shirley.
