Who is “They?”
#CharlieKirk was killed by a young white man from Utah from an ultra conservative Trump loving family who introduced him to guns very early. His only university education was a trade school. He used his own hunting rifle and apparently was radicalized by extremist ultra right wing Groyper Nick Fuentes.
They is you #posobiec
@KimPerales i'll just take this opportunity to remind everyone that jack posobiec wrote a book where he called #democrats "unhumans"
"Last week, the Washington Post sparked a media kerfuffle when it reported that talk-show-host-turned-defense secretary Peter Hegseth had invited MAGA provocateur Jack Posobiec to 'participate' in Hegseth’s first overseas trip and that this was 'triggering alarm among US defense officials worried about the military being dragged into partisan warfare'
This article and pieces in other outlets noted that Posobiec was a 2020 election denier and a promoter of conspiracy theories who had championed Pizzagate—the bonkers idea that Democrats were running a Satanic pedophile ring from the basement of a Washington, DC, eatery. They reminded readers that last year at a conservative conference, he had proclaimed, 'Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.
As it turned out, Posobiec, a podcaster and a senior editor at Human Events, an ultra-right publication, told Politico that he didn’t tag along with Hegseth. Instead, he accepted an invitation from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to travel with him as media to Ukraine for the secretary’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky."
I've got some pretty complicated thoughts and feelings about this, but I'll just leave it here for now without further comment:
The man who in 2016 showed up to a popular pizza restaurant with a gun, claiming there were children being trafficked in the basement, died in an officer-involved shooting on Thursday outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, according to authorities.
The invitation was one sign of how the #GOP uses figures & fictions that were once considered out of bounds to energize its activists. The counsel that #Posobiec delivered was another.
…The key to elections, he said, is that “it doesn’t matter who votes. It matters who counts the votes.”

In addition to relationships with #Thiel and #Yarvin,
#Vance is also in close contact with the
💥bottom feeders on the far right. 💥
For nearly two years, according to The Washington Post, Vance was in regular conversation by text message with
#Chuck #Johnson,
a notorious Holocaust denier who has spent the better part of a decade promoting right-wing conspiracy theories.
And as my Michelle Goldberg wrote this week,
Vance is close enough to #Jack #Posobiec
— an alt-right lunatic who pushed the vile and absurd Pizzagate conspiracy theory
and collaborated with online neo-Nazis to spread antisemitic hate
— to blurb his latest book, a polemic devoted to the idea that liberals and leftists are #Untermenschen who must be stopped lest they destroy civilization.
“As they are opposed to humanity itself,” Posobiec and his co-author, Joshua #Lisec, write,
“they place themselves outside of the category completely, in an entirely new misery-driven subdivision, the unhuman.”
♦️These are the friends and influences that JD Vance brought with him to the United States Senate,
♦️and these will almost certainly be the same friends and influences he’ll bring to the White House if he is elected vice president.

"The Southern Poverty Law Center in 2022 listed Posobiec as an extremist who has 'collaborated with white nationalists, antigovernment extremists … and neo-Nazis,' as well as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021."
🤮 New Book ‘Unhumans’ 🤮
#JDVance and the language of #Genocide
#Trump's VP pick endorses the tactic of #Dehumanization
“You Americans, you are so naïve. You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots. It doesn’t come like that. Look at the language. It begins in the language" – #MarieHowe
In the latest example of his dangerous extremism, J.D. Vance has enthusiastically promoted a book that uses genocidal language to stoke hatred
#Unhumans is a twisted political incantation by right-wing conspiracy theorists Jack #Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, designed to inspire hatred and terror.
