    I love Carlin but many of the named were not saying that at all. Neither kennedy. Not malcom x, his whole thing was fight back, and for the record I agree.

      Most of this shit is pretty obvious. None of it is new. It’s the same shit that’s always happened throughout history and keeps repeating. People just don’t fucking pay attention.

    You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam

    He turned the power to the have-nots

    And then came the shot!

    You know they murdered X and tried to blame it on Islam

    We turned the power to the have-nots

    And then came the shot!

    What was the price on his head?!

        It’s only an assassination if they attack the ass region, otherwise it’s just sparkling slaughtering

        The fact that people are still talking about him and his killing shows that he had significance. He held significance as a prominent right wing nut job and radicaliser. He held significance as a poster boy for the disingenuous “just asking questions” approach of stochastic terrorism. He holds significance as a so-called martyr of the MAGA cult. Just because he didn’t/doesn’t hold significance to you doesn’t mean he wasn’t/isn’t significant. I don’t like that it’s true, but it is.

          Nah the media has been working overtime to try and make him significant but he’s really just a meaningless footnote
