When an Orange King cancels the Jester

In the King’s Court, the Jester was the only one capable of telling truth to the King using humour.

Trump’s unhinged use of the FCC to openly threaten the ABC into standing Kimmel down for a very funny joke is the kind of move authoritarian rulers have done for decades.

The fallacy Right Wing Hate Trolls are using to justify what Trump did to Jimmy Kimmel falls into 2 parts.

1 – ‘The Left used cancel culture so ha ha’ – This is the argument of a mentally challenged child. Past cancel culture crusades by middle class woke activists ARE NOT THE SAME as the President of the United States using his power to silence critics you fucking children

2 – ‘Jimmy lied about the assassin being Republican’ – Firstly, that’s a bullshit justification, and secondly Kimmel is right!

Tyler Robinson came from a staunchly Republican family FFS, he is from their tribe, not ours!

From The New Yorker…

Charlie Kirk and Tyler Robinson Came from the Same Warped Online Worlds 

Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of the right-wing activist and magaally Charlie Kirk, used bullets that he had engraved with phrases that revealed less about his political affiliations than his fluency in deep internet culture. One bullet said “Hey fascist! Catch!,” then included a code for dropping a bomb in the video game Helldivers 2. Another said “If you Read / This, You Are / GAY / lmao,” and a third contained an emoticon-laced message drawn from furry subculture. (The symbol is not perverse because of its origins; it’s perverse because of how gleefully and literally it was weaponized, not unlike when Nikki Haley wrote “Finish them” on Israeli artillery destined for Gaza.) Spencer Cox, the Republican Governor of Utah, has said that Robinson subscribed to a “Leftist ideology.” According to court documents released on Tuesday, Robinson’s mother told investigators that he had moved to the left politically in the past year, becoming more “pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.” He had also begun to date his roommate, who, in his mother’s description, was male at birth and was transitioning. Text-message exchanges quoted in the documents show Robinson telling his roommate that he had killed Kirk because he’d “had enough of his hatred.” Still, it is unclear how Robinson made the leap from disliking Kirk’s views to deciding to murder him—he wrote, chillingly, that he’d been planning the shooting for only “a bit over a week”—and the messages that Robinson left behind remain a muddle. The phrase “Bella Ciao,” engraved on one bullet, is both the title of a famous antifascist anthem and a phrase that crops up in video games. Some have pointed out that the song also appeared on a Spotify playlist associated with Groypers, a group of far-right, white-nationalist, meme-steeped internet denizens led by Nick Fuentes, who frequently attacked Kirk for not being extreme enough. In isolation, the references are vague enough to be interpreted every which way.

According to an interview that Robinson’s grandmother gave to the Daily Mail, he grew up in a conservative family that staunchly supported Trump. He attended just one semester of college before dropping out. He was registered to vote in Utah but was unaffiliated with a party and did not vote in the 2024 Presidential election. Instead, he seems to have spent time in the corners of the internet where young men can become radicalized toward violence. Like Payton Gendron, who committed a mass shooting at a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, New York, in 2022, Robinson left a trail of self-implicating messages on the chat-room app Discord. In one chat, he reportedly played dumb about Kirk’s murder, joking about how the suspect was his “doppelganger.” In another chat, though, he confessed to shooting Kirk, saying, “It was me,” just before going with his family to turn himself in to the police.

…Tyler was from the Republican side of the fence, his Father weas anti-gay and anti-Trans, who knows how that impacted on him, so Kimmel’s comments were not only valid, they were true!

The Left isn’t to blame for Tyler’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, America’s culture of violence, gun worship, tensions with his father and the alienation of males online had far more to do with this than fucking ANTIFA.

Trump has weaponised Free Speech and made Kirk a religious martyr for a cause that is dangerous.

I told you right after Trump was elected that he was fascist, every passing week he proves me right.
