Anyone who aspires to be like Charlie Kirk should enjoy the exact same ending as Charlie Kirk.

No, we are British. Stabbed and left to bleed out on the floor is more of our style.

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.

And just like Charlie Kirk I’d never heard of him until he got beaten up. If the media would just stop talking about these idiots they wouldn’t be famous they’d just be random Twitter racists and we could all ignore them. But now the little dweeb has got a following.

‘If I were… ever able to have the opportunity to speak to Erika [Kirk], I would firstly give huge admiration towards her husband on the formula and ideas that I [drew] great inspiration from’.
He can save his breath, she’s utterly ecstatic that her husband is dead.

Under a banner that read ‘Reform should be more radical’, he argued that subjects of the British Empire shouldn’t necessarily be welcome in the UK.
As a crowd gathered behind him, he said: ‘All of you who throw water are cowards. You don’t actually want to fight for what you believe in.’
. . . That was when he was kicked to the floor before his phone was smashed and his camera and banner were stolen.
. . . Eventually, a Black man he had been debating with steps in to protect him.

You missed the best quote from this little piss stain. “One responded: ‘I’ll fight you, b****’, before telling Moffitt to get a job. He said he had one, but was fired from McDonald’s for his political views.”

The idiot, even after working in the hospitality sector, does not realise that this whole sector depends on the immigrants, among others. He is probably the kind of idiot that goes to a curry house after an anti-immigrant march.

Fuck me, to get fired for your views at McDonald’s you must have really been an obnoxious little cunt.
echodot@feddit.uk 9 hours ago
Having worked in McDonald’s I can guarantee that he was actually fired for been lazy and difficult to work with. If you just do the job and don’t mount off you can have whatever political view you want.

So is OP…
They quoted the shit stain saying the cops told him he was high profile.
echodot@feddit.uk 9 hours ago
The quote is Moffat telling the media that he says the police said that it’s high profile. I highly doubt they did because it doesn’t really make sense.
It can’t be a high profile attack because no one knows who he is. Anyone who went to where he went, and said the things he said, would have got punched, his celebrity or lack thereof is it irrelevant.

Anyone who is advocating for “remigration” is advocating for the use of violence to remove racial minorities.
If you are a pacifist and you don’t believe in violence in any circumstance, then fine. But if ever there is a time to use violence in defence of ourselves and the vulnerable in our society, I believe it’s now, before the state is captured by fascists. I think that if we had another Battle of Cable Street instead of a counter-protest at the next few “Unite the Kingdom” rallies (or whatever they call them these days) then we’d sort this shit out real fast.

But it’s back to the arguement about the paradox of tolerance. If you don’t beat these people they’ll keep doing it. Given that they’re calling for the lies of others to be destroyed inaction is not really an option.
Someone’s going to suffer either way, might as well be the little skid mark that’s causing the problem to begin with.

The
anti‐Semitefascist has chosen hate because hate is a faith; at the outset he has chosen to devaluate words and reasons. How entirely at ease he feels as a result. How futile and frivolous discussions about the rights ofthe Jewothers appear to him. He has placed himself on other ground from the beginning. If out of courtesy he consents for a moment to defend his point of view, he lends himself but does not give himself. He tries simply to project his intuitive certainty onto the plane of discourse……Never believe that
anti‐ Semitesfascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. Theanti‐Semitesfascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.- Jean-Paul Sartre
en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Sartre
Fascists don’t care about words or reasoning. They spread hate, discrimination, and lies and when challenged spout more lies to justify it. Even if presented with cold hard, unrefutable, facts.
When words, debate, and diplomacy can no longer prevent the calls to violence, the bigotry, the intolerance, then there is but one option; to speak the language they do understand.
The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

Yeah waiting it out and seeing them realize the error of their ways through slow social isolation has definitely happened and there definitely aren’t any ramifications to letting themselves simply spew their hate speech out into the world.
Nothing bad ever happened to us when we stayed out of the mud, except for, you know, fucking everything, you asshat.
The next time someone you love is murdered and/or harassed because they were inspired by a Charlie Kirk wannabe, remember to be the “bigger person” and don’t stoop to their level. 🖕🏽

They didn’t stoop to his level, he’s a racist, fascist piece of shit. I’d say they were patient and kind, all things considered.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Considering he wants people’s lives destroyed, I’d say beating his ass was a kindness. It’s the closest thing to effective communication you can get with a Nazi without doing even worse to them.
