20 thoughts on the Charlie Kirk shooting

The FBI, trantifa conspiracies, and how the extremely online are driving us all off a cliff. (Trigger warning: This contains warnings about triggers.)

1. We got him! I was never worried since the FBI put some of its top podcasters on the case.

2. A few online wackos cheered Kirk’s death which led to pearl clutching and cries of “I don’t know how we got to this point.” I’ll tell you how: It’s due to algorithms that incentivize tribalist rage and screen addiction which is increasingly turning us into avatars playing a video game until death becomes an abstract concept instead of a grim reality. Big Tech hategamified™️ our entire society because that’s the best way to monetize us within the attention economy. As a result, you get people cheerleading an actual person's death as if it's just some NPC on their PlayStation. It’s the same way gamers shrug while running over a hooker in Grand Theft Auto.

3. The WSJ claimed the Feds found "ammunition engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology." Thus giving birth to a new term: trantifa.

4. People are already comparing this Charlie Kirk shooter to Luigi which is unfair because we haven’t even seen his abs yet.
