Editor's note: An earlier version of this story stated that Charlie Kirk praised the frat boy. It was changed to "defends" to more accurately portray what was said. Right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk used his Monday program to defend a white fraternity member who was seen on video making monkey ...

    I don’t know who this man is, but his face is too small for his head.

        Huh. His face is ~7% too small. 107 and 108% look reasonable for that head.

      It doesn’t help the fact that there was a meme where someone photoshopped his face to be slightly smaller. Then as it became popular and he started appearing in news more, a whole group of people became dedicated to altering every photo of him. It’s possible that those images ended up in the top results of google.

      But when men go out there and defend Palestinians they aren’t doing this? It’s not masculine to stand up for what you believe there?

      He’s not, which is entirely the problem. His kind gets stronger on the outrage attention cycle but that isn’t the same thing as being ignorable.

      Not anymore, at least, he doesn’t need free press anymore.

          TPUSA became famous in large part due the free advertising generated from liberal and leftist outrage over their messaging, but in 2024 they no longer need that outrage to grow. They are now large enough a brand for their own community to generate that press for them.

          You can ignore their shit stirring, but it won’t cripple them, it will just mean you don’t know what their enemy of the week is.

              Exactly, he’s either a complete idiot or morally bankrupt (or both). He spreads false info sourced from 8chan. Never would’ve thought that kinda rampant idiocy would find a target, but it does. The less attention he gets the better.

                  Ha, not a bad point, but now you know they’re outright, irrefutably, no dogwhistles endorsing racism and can even point to a specific example if you need to.

    Somehow YouTube algorithm showed me this dumbass’s video that was something like “Charlie Kirk destroys a college student with a great comeback”. I think I lost brain cells by watching it even halfway. His argument for being smart, even though he didn’t finish college, was naming couple of guys that the student might not know and saying how he got rich.

    “But to the left… he’s a young white man, so it’s worth destroying his life."

    I had to scroll back up, because I thought he’d been kicked out of the university. Nope, he was just kicked out of the frat. Oh no, he might have to stay in a dorm or apartment, it’s the end of the world!

    “And they’re trying to destroy the rise of the frat boys,” he added.

    Um… good? Why would I care about frat boys? My university didn’t even have frats, and I somehow managed to graduate anyway.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
