        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.

    “It’s about time the masculine energy in this country is ascendant,” he proclaimed. “I’m not defending what this kid allegedly did. I am defending young men holding up old glory, getting out there in the streets, and saying, we’re not going to take this anymore.”

    So, what the hell is he defending then? What exactly about the incident exudes “masculine energy”?

      The masculine energy of a rather hung dick called “old glory” that cannot be taken except by the most masculine of men who are out in the streets.

      Gay butt stuff, obvs.

        Eh, depends on who you ask. Personally, no, this isn’t masculine. People are standing up for what they believe, and more importantly, their resolve come a place of empathy. Merely standing up for what you believe doesn’t warrant much praise, imho, especially if your beliefs are demonstrably false.

      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.

            That doesn’t exactly sound like a negative to me.

            I say they’re irrelevant because they have no experience in anything other than spreading propaganda to keep right wing idiots in a permanent state of fear and outrage. They argue in bad faith. They’re neither interesting nor insightful. They have no accomplishments. As people, they’re remarkably dull and uninteresting.

            So again, why give them the attention they seek?

              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.

                I already know what they’re doing. Hell, I could write a ChatGPT prompt that would spit out the exactly same drivel as these clowns and save myself the time.

                  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.
