So now it’s apparently ‘biased’ to claim Charlie Kirk wasn’t loved by everybody….

I am in favor of creating a new thread about Charlie Kirk's death and his shooter. A lot of the people who commented in the previous thread probably don't know that the discussion has shifted to the main US politics thread, plus the original Kirk thread obviously had the loose end of the who the shooter was and who is to blame. The original thread went bad because too many people jumped to conclusions, also because the thread title itself was misleading by describing Kirk as a conservative activist, so right-leaning VGC members who didn't know Kirk were inclined to believe that Kirk had reasonable views and therefore was one of them.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

If he was a lefty, we would've found out by now. This slow drip feeds tells me they've got nothing to attack the left or the democrats with.

This is from The Guardian. One anonymous source isn’t really proof, in my opinion, but things are indeed coming out.

The media is completely failing us in this moment.

This is such a weird take....most people's frustrations from what I would consider non left leaning members, was about the reaction of forum members/internet sentiment to the killing. Sure you get the crazy outliers on either side, openly celebrating his murder or randomly blaming leftists for the murder itself, but those are outliers.

I am in favor of reopening the thread, i mean hey at least we have a non-leftist murderer we can all blame. Should be fine.

It may sound weird because you don't know the people posting here anymore. There was hardly any genuine frustration, most of it was delight to engage in confirmation bias.

So yeah, naturally a reopening of the thread or the creation of a new thread would be fine, because the identity of the killer will result in a severe drop of people willing to post in the thread.

Instead, he’s sending them to Memphis, in deep red Tennessee, where the governor is a MAGA chud.

The good news is that someone must have told him they couldn't get away with it. Bad news is they'll try again, and are starting with Tennessee to start creating an argument that not an attempt to targer democrats.



I wonder how Tennessee Republicans will react. Will they suddenly have a problem with it now that the shoe is on the other foot or will they go

The UN General Assembly voted in favour of establishing a Palestinian state. The resolution, backed by 142 countries, calls for a two-state solution, a ceasefire in Gaza, release of hostages, Hamas disarmament, and regional security guarantees.

Israel voted against it, alongside nine other countries – Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga and the United States – while 12 nations abstained.
