no fucking way
The antivaxxer finally got his shot
he died doing what he loved: owning the libs πŸ˜”

on a real note: what kind of life was that? doomed to debate college students with bad faith arguments for a living, riling up masses against marginalized groups for your own profit and claiming to be a servant of christ...

one must imagine kirk happy, dying on the stage that bound him to this sad existence, a catch-22 of his own design

If only there had been good guys with guns around, sadly there were only Republicans present :/
some people have been discovering their empathy for all beings (selectively applied to pro-Trump Republicans only) and i think that's so beautiful ❀️
danke, julian reichelt
far right german newspapers are seething over me not being super duper sad about kirk's passing
Beethoven was only 29 when he composed his first symphony, Yuri Gagarin was only 27 years old when he became the first man in space, Marey Shelly was only 18 years old when she wrote Frankenstein, and Tyler Robinson was only 22 when
Huge respect to the father of Tyler Robinson for trying to consult with a pastor on what to do, but instead of giving advice or something the pastor immediately ratted them out to the cops.

Given the fact there's now good reasons to believe the (alleged, but himself confessed) assassin of Charlie Kirk was a right wing gun nut, to whom Kirk was not right wing enough, makes me feel more valid in my cynical criticism of Kirk and his passing.

He died not just as a result of the world he created, but specifically through the hands of a person he radicalized, utilizing gun β€œrights” Kirk defended day and night.

If life was a screenplay, this would be an on the nose plot point that the writers inserted to spread their own political beliefs. Yet it isn't, this is real life, and these are the real consequences of your words.

Before 1933 the Nazi's only official crime was speech. Afterwards, they legalized anything that speech justified. Remember that.

A far right media outlet told people to mass report my posts on Instagram, many of them were removed without any notice or ability to appeal.

When a story of mine was deleted and Instagram notified me so I could appeal, it was almost immediately reinstated.

Whatever you think of my posts, I should at least be told they were wrong or against the community guidelines. Instagram happily told me that. If a post on Mastodon is moderated, a user on Mastodon is immediately notified and can appeal. This process can sometimes be intransparent depending on the moderator, but it's a hell of a lot better than having some AI algorithm delete your posts for being mass reported and then gaslighting you that they never existed.

I've been told by a couple of big accounts it sometimes takes days or weeks for you to be able to appeal a decision and there doesn't seem to be any reason for why this happens. Certain AI automated decisions cannot be appealed.
@ErikUden Just a basic question: Any reason to still be active on a purely fascho-capitalistic network?
@ErikUden Such a long time since I've been active on any of the big social media platforms other than YouTube and Plurk... Oh, I guess LinkedIn and other "specialist" platforms. Good luck.
@ErikUden What the fuck are you talking about?

@ErikUden This is complete misinformation. The Nazis did an unsuccessful violent coup in the 20s and were banned nationwide for years. Hitler famously spent quite some time in prison writing Mein Kampf.

Later, they were unbanned and used as informal paramilitary forces by the establishment as a violent suppression force against communists and labour unions. Those actions were also largely illegal.

So again, what the fuck are you talking about?

@ErikUden Munich 1923 would like to have a word with you. Though you could say the 8th of November in Munich rhymes with the 6th of January 2021 in Washington.
@fnordius good point! but you know, that was just β€œa few bad apples” ;)
@ErikUden what's the source on this? I've heard rumors about him being a right winger, but I can't find any articles or sources that verify this. Most outlets I can find are still just referring to the "transgender and antifascist" messages on the casings, but it also wouldn't surprise me if this was a Nazi false flag attempt.
@ErikUden if they ever discover your mastodon, it will be amazing

@GroupNebula563 I do believe Mastodon has some sort of protective shield as no journalist has ever dared to just click on my Mastodon profile linked on every other social media platform I have. They'll dig through some deep documents confirming I have some sort of position in my political party in order to put pressure on them, write texts to my parents with names of our friends but wrong numbers, or E-Mail my co-workers at holocaust remembrance exhibitions / museums, yet never just go on this platform.

Every lukewarm take on the other platforms is immediately siphoned to some far right think tank in some TPUSA member's dorm, but whatever I post on Mastodon is just shared within leftist circles.

Some day a journalist will breach over to this platform and β€œdiscover” my (Google indedexed and immediately sent to tens of thousands of people) secret messages... on that day my house of cards will crumble.

@GroupNebula563 on an honest note: I think other networks have a lot of right wing people that forward this stuff to right wing media outlets. I think Mastodon may have many varying opinions, but little to no snitches.
@ErikUden so a 35 year old has a lot to live up to.

@ErikUden

Sounds like you did everything right

@ErikUden Seriously, before I mourn his death, I would remember every other human who died today, too. Every one. Especially all those who he considered lesser than him.
@ErikUden If they seethe enough, maybe they set themselves on fire. Double win.
@ErikUden was mich daran so stΓΆrt: deine inhalte sind nicht monetarisiert, der faschistische dreck auf njus hingegen schon... wie kΓΆnnen mehr linke im internet vom tot von faschisten finanziel profitieren, was machen wir falsch? :)
@ErikUden Selbst wenn von "der anderen Seite" kein Respekt kommt - eine gewisse eigene Respektlosigkeit macht da einen auch nicht besser.

@ErikUden There's a difference between empathy for a guy like Kirk and not taking joy in his death. Kirk was a dick. But that doesn't justify killing him or celebrating a violent act, just because the victim of that act was somebody we don't agree with or like.

The even more terrible thing is that in the same day, there was yet another school shooting. Violence is being normalized. Lives are becoming less and less precious. And the guy in charge loves every bit of it. He gets to use the army.

@ErikUden
No f*ing surprise.

Also: No prayers by Bibi, just hypocrisy for religiofascist minions everywhere.

@ErikUden

In infernos putresce

@ErikUden Wait is he ded?
@farah he was shot about an hour ago
@ErikUden Yeah, I was looking for an update
Joshua J. Friedman (@joshuajfriedman.com)

via @willsommer.bsky.social: Charlie Kirk has died at 31 after being shot today, according to conservative online channel Real America's Voice, where Kirk's show aired.

@farah @ErikUden this is messed up. As is every senseless violent act.
@ErikUden @farah yeah but not declared dead yet, he was not shot dead - just shot at. Critical condition
@CKL okay but have you seen the video (really not recommended, very gory...) I've never seen a person recover from this

@ErikUden I've read exactly this description multiple times, but haven't watched the videos.

He _could_ survive - paralyzed, most probably.

@ErikUden latest toots under #charliekirk hashtags suggest he hasn't survived
@CKL @ErikUden @farah did he die from a gun shot would, or with a gun shot wound?
@farah @ErikUden Just got shot in the neck, mf did NOT survive that, I regret watching the video, but I did, it was rather graphic
