I'm European and it is the fist time I realize these are 2 different persons. I always mixed them up to now.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

They are appendages, therefore you weren't wrong in your original assumption

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 39 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It should be a lot easier going forward

One has a river of blood on his neck. The other keeps his in Palestine

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago

That bigass head certainly had a proportionate amount of blood in it.

It's fistin' time!

Significant difference, especially for us Europeans: Shapiro has consistently supported Ukraine whereas Kirk did not.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

At the same time shapiro is a bigger propagandist for israel both guys are terrible.

[–] jason@discuss.online 61 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I've thought about this a lot since Luigi. The power of these alt reality movements is derived from their mouthpieces. Without their army of apologists, every ridiculous lie sounds as stupid as it is and always was.

Being a professional shill/propagandist for these people should be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and I'm surprised that's not the case. So, smart move on Ben. He should hang up the towel, and find a real job.

[–] thax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 hours ago

It should be and I think it just a matter of time before it becomes just that. Bread and circuses only works when people can afford the bread. The hungry will blame the clowns.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago

Being a shoe salesman would be a great choice for Ben since he wouldn't have to bend over to help people in and out of shoes.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 57 points 8 hours ago (10 children)

No no, Ben, god chose you, he'll just gently blow any bullets out of the way, right? Because god exists? And prayer works? He created the universe and shit?

I want to punch this weasel-faced rat just on principle, but especially because of his overt religiosity, and therefore dangerous insanity.

Why isn't religion a mental illness?

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

Most of these generic American Christians are taught it was gods will. That is.... ANYTHING is gods will. I used to find that so interesting as I was raised in all that abuse. No matter WHAT happens, it's always god that intended it or wanted it. There was some "purpose" or reason.

How convenient.

My parents also loved to lean into how they only had to answer to god. Also convenient.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

No mom and dad, you answer to me. Your children are the only ones qualified to determine whether you were a good parent.

"God never gives anyone more than they can handle."

Guns really do keep bad people away! 😮

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 57 points 9 hours ago (7 children)

It proves that guns will make them shut up.

Come on, exercise your free speech.

I hope this is the result, these radical righties fade into the shadows afraid for their lives.

Edited to say; Same people expect our kids to show up in school after mass shootings. HYPOCRITES.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 67 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Ben Shapiro killed Charlie Kirk. After all, Ben Shapiro was the rising star replacement for Rush Limbaugh until Charlie Kirk came along and passed him up, and became the big MAGA Media darling.

Now Shapiro is back on top. He stands to benefit the most by Kirk's death. Obviously, Shapiro did it.

[–] Around_and_around@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Nah, he was Seal Team Sixed by Trump for not being a blind devoted follower. See Kirk’s flip flop on Epstein files. Yes, he publicly acquiesced but that showed too much independent thought that, with his following, organization, and youth, was a threat that required fatal consequences.

I don't know about you, but I don't know where Ben Shapiro was at Noon yesterday.

awwww booo! he should go :)

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's probably time for you to close up shop Ben. Stop doing your talks, stop promoting hate and lies and start actually being a good husband and learn how to be a better person.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 12 points 7 hours ago

Or get your head blown off. Both things are fine.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Shapiro still goes outside. He could still get kirked.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 6 hours ago

Verbalizing this incident is just 👨‍🍳🤌🫴

[–] firewyre@lemmy.world 27 points 10 hours ago
