There is a big difference between. Most people who aren’t actively engaged in this type of discourse like you and I, or don’t pay meticulous attention to conservative media outlets, likely don’t know who Kirk is, let alone care.

MLK Jr. got historically important exposure on television with the broadcast of the March on Washington, D.C. This was one of the first civil rights events to be televised. When you have a new medium to disseminate news that for the first time gives you not just the voice but the image of the people involved, I think that has a huge impact. Prior to this, MLK Jr. was a highly respected religious leader.

Most people today, would probably have to seek out non-governmental sides of political discourse, to even know who Kirk is. I have no doubt your average conservative that watches Fox News has been exposed to Kirk, but they likely won’t recall any talking points. He wasn’t in an elected office. Today, that would probably be the only reason any lay person would listen to them.

Someone probably equates the political nature and him being white to what happened to MLK Jr.

Okay, thank you for mentioning that. I was unaware he was from Puerto Rico.

Honestly, depending on your ethnicity or where you live, touring as a musician in the U.S. these days seems difficult because of that for you and your fans. I don’t get why anyone overseas would want to tour in the U.S. right now.

Is the shooter a person of color? Seriously, ask yourself that. Likely that is the citing factor for someone coming up with fucking bullshit like this. When the shooter is white, the defenders of gun rights will point to mental health. The point I am making is that POC will be a used as a scapegoat to upturn causes in society for their actions while a white person is largely upheld by gun rights advocates as a sign of failure to address mental health.

Then logically one could infer that they would rather die than prevent the senseless violence.

EDIT: I’m not advocating for anyone’s death or praising what occurred. I just wanted to point to how moronic his stance was. Why would anyone say any death from gun violence is okay?

🤨

My mind immediately went there.

But Trump said recently that Israel has lost control of Congress.

How long till they start legally labeling all trans people as “mentally deficient” or declare them all no longer citizens just to bar them from having guns?

I guess The Smashing Pumpkins being my favorite band, has skewed my perspective. I’ve always felt that song was ironically upbeat for their style.

I’ve heard the song used in those compilations of sporting events you see on TV before said sporting event, to celebrate a athlete.

People forget that Today by The Smashing Pumpkins is literally about suicide.

Ironically I saw this ad last night.

🤦‍♂️ Biological sex.

All genders?

These really should be called sex reveals.

But how did you get a coconut in Europe?

Trantiveness is me.

Um… aren’t age ratings supposed to restrict sales in the first place?

The Killers- “Mr. Brightside” and “Miss Atomic Bomb”

It may not seem obvious but “Miss Atomic Bomb” is intentionally a sequel. The music video even tells a story that is a continuation of the “Mr. Brightside” video, with Izabella Miko and Eric Roberts reprising their roles.
