On Thursday, U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Mace announced she will introduce a concurrent resolution to allow Charlie Kirk to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol.
It’s really crazy how he is being treated as if he was a high ranking military officer or an elected politician. He was just a hateful guy with a podcast.
This is the face of extremism- falling over each other to be the most subservient and loyal to the cause. It’s groupthink in a nutshell, they egg each other on and compete to be the most extreme because if you don’t shout hard enough then maybe you’re a traitor.
Its a fucking charade. a desperate downward theatrical spiral to show who can be the most ridiculously “True to the cause” because the person/persons who show the least effort will inevitably become the out group.
It is not just about being a traitor or not. This attempt at declaring this guy a martyr is basically trying to prove you are one step more extreme than him on a meta level so you can absorb his influence and supporters to your being.
To be fair, given how Lemmy is filled with posts about this guy he wasn’t “just a guy”. Must be even more scary on more popular platforms. Really, you better stop praising him.

He was brainwashing kids and pushing Shitler approved propaganda

Because he was a racist who was treated like he is going to resurrect today.
