Isn't that the statue no one wanted to buy, and the creator was upset about it? When I saw that article, I predicted they would false flag some vandalism on that statue to at least get some bullshit news from it.
Maybe do a "cool" fountain with free red wine out of the neck-hole. You know, to give at least something back to the community other than hate and discord.
"Why won't you let us oppress you?" scream the fascist traitors. "Why do you want to be treated as we demand to be treated? We're being victimized!" they scream. "Only we can have rights. You don't matter!" they scream. Then they wonder why the monuments to their evil get destroyed.
It's not supposed to be funny. It's supposed to convey derision. It's supposed to give a sense of joy that he's dead, a lack of respect felt towards him and his, and utter disdain for anyone who's failed life so hard they think Chuck should have a statue.
I guess it's a little funny too, but I feel like that's not the loudest part of the message.
Vandalism *is* a message of disrespect. But sometimes there are things that are memorialized that represent something so horrible that they don't deserve the respect paid to them. Unfortunately, the average conservative is more offended by "gay people were just trying to exist" than "a man was constantly justifying political violence" and feel that the wrong one of those things deserves respect.
I wouldn't put past them that the vandalism was done by one of their own. The statue's purpose is propaganda after all. Maybe they thought the message wasn't clear enough for maga.
There was a couple in Calgary who spray painted their own driveway and then claimed it was vandalism. Those assholes will do anything for attention and drama. They wrote "BLACKS RULE" in really shitty font, thinking that they could fool people. I'm as white as can be, and even I know that a) a black people would never call themselves "blacks", and never boast something serious like "blacks rule"; and if they did, they'd be far more artful about spray painting it.
Just watch some Youtube videos of him answering questions about stuff. Its really good. One i like is that just because people are really mentally ill, there are not more than two genders and how one should not play along with that delution.
Because I believe that by playing along with a mentally disturbed individual's delusion, you only exacerbate their suffering. The healthy and rational approach is to try to help the sick person get well, not to gaslight them.
It's the religious right. They badly needed a martyr for their victim complex and they badly wanted it to do PR for their image for the less radical conservatives that think those people are creeps.
Conservative men are extraordinarily submissive. If there is even the merest suggestion that another man is of higher status, they put themselves forever under that man's thrall.
They are mentally ill. I'm not joking. They are damaged in the head. Either physically or from trauma. Either way, they are a danger to themselves and others.
They’re not idol worshipping him either. They hoped they could astroturf a movement off of his death. Literally the people he was aligned closest to took advantage of his death
Nah he was a (false flag) martyr to/for the far right. Martyrdom is much easier to maintain when you don't see most people as people and only consider them people if they fit a very specific criteria (I.e. rich white adult males dedicated to the party and white supremacy)
I didn’t even know who he was before he got killed, and I even try to stay informed about these people. Wife didn’t know his name, dad didn’t. I honestly think the worst part of some of them is that many of us just didn’t care about him.
In their mind, he was owning us. When he debated someone actually educated, they wiped the floor with him. He stuck to the younger crowd and online you only saw clips of him being a “master debater” and any time he got slammed it was edited out. That’s why you and I didn’t know who he was until (in my case) just before he died. He embodied their need to own the libs 100%. Honest debate is about getting to the best answer. Why I hate sports mentality. We aren’t teams trying to win a football game
Fascists are actively trying to martyr him in the hopes of creating their own social movement. Like some sort of white supremacist arab spring. It isn't working, but that ain't stopping them from trying.
You're right. Must of it is victimization. Trumps ran his second campaign mostly on how the election was stolen from him, and the witch hunts against him. And how everybody is after him. And because they are after him, They are after you!
and he was a conservative who thought Kirk was too liberal. Let that sink in to all the conservatives— there are conservatives that think you’re not conservative enough and don’t mind shooting you because you’re worthless to them because you don’t think the same as them.
Hey, a public urinal is much more useful, and far less ugly. Pissing on the statue only works if people see it and you don’t get arrested for public indecency. Vandalism can be performed in secret, and even if no one saw you do it, the statue is visibly disfigured.

It’s just an excuse for them to shove their hatred in your face.
They don’t care about him. Never did.
But we do legitimately hurt their feelings when we talk about what a piece of shit he was and how we’re fine with his murder.
I’m glad he’s dead. I’m glad they’re gonna be dead soon, too. I’m just sad the rest of us will be ended.

The organization needs a martyr.
A martyr? How do you find a martyr?
You do not find one, mr. Vollmer.
You choose one.
You take one of no value, and you make him into a symbol.
You wrap him in a flag, and you make his death work for you.
Find a man who is of no value while he's alive but who can serve you when he's dead.
