      Thats because this is a parody, presumably made around the time of the shooting, referancing when US senator Dean Browning did exactly this.

        Man, if we can’t take posts in a shitpost community seriously, what can we take seriously?!?!

        On one hand, I fully agree with you.

        On the other, I find there to be a poetic irony to people just making shit up about him.

          Yeah I get it. But every time I see something like this I think of all the guys pointing at this and saying “LOOK ANOTHER LIE FROM THE LEFT” and I hate them being right about anything ever.

              Well you aren’t really the person I worry about taking this seriously. I’m sure you’re an intelligent person.

            I don’t really give a shit, they’re going to call us liars anyways. I shouldn’t have to uphold some crazy journalistic integrity as a regular person shitposting about assholes. Fuck em, I say lie as much as we can. Smear the shit right on their faces.

              My issue is that there is absolutely more than enough truth to smear them on. Why lie when we don’t have to? Why shoot ourselves in the foot like this?

            They do this when we tell the truth too. Why not muddy the water with something so trivial as a CK tweet?

              Because both sides-ism is not only a losing tactic for the left, it’s also dumb as fuck.

                “the left”

                like there’s only one.

                Even broadly, at the far side, roughly speaking, without even dividing up across other criteria or gradations of economic “leftness”, nor other quirks of specificity…

                • anarcho left. -10,-10 to -0.01,-10
                • libertarian left, e.g -10,-5 to -0.01,-5
                • moderate left, e.g. -10,0 to -0.01,0
                • tanky left. e.g -10,6 to -0.01,6
                • totalitarian left. e.g. -10,10 to -0.01,10
                • fake left. e.g around 5,5

                One of these is not like the others.

                … Well… the others are not like the others either…

                But that does not matter to those who only speak of the fake left, as if it’s not not left, as if it’s the only left, calling it “the left”.

            It’s a joke.

            Completely restraining from existing because fascists will call you on any little mistake is pointless - they will make up an excuse if none is given.

            People who diss Obama for tan suit yet rally behind convict deserve no power over any of our actions.

      Ya him replying to the account without noticing seems impossible. Either fake or the account was hacked at some point.
