how do you get out of a long string of nothing but failures and losses and like, bodyblows? I haven't had anything "good" or a win happen in forever and I'm so far past the line of hoping anything can change

Independent of this statement, a good way of describing a huge chunk of the internet is “rapists running content and bot farms to make their pet issues seem more important”, that’s basically half the traffic on X at this point.

Notably the 3 people leading the charge on this are a guy who spends all his time trying to sue and deplatform pro-palestinian creators and 2 rapists who all run content farms of out of context clips but y'know maybe this time it's not a cynical attempt to get rid of their self-proclaimed #1 op.

BREAKING

The US State Department has revoked the visas of citizens from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and Paraguay for comments they made in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

- An Argentine national who said Charlie "devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric" and deserves to burn in hell.
- A South African national who mocked those grieving Charlie saying "they're hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom"
-A Mexican national who said Charlie "died being a racist, he died being a misogynist" and stated that "there are people who deserve to die."
- A Brazilian national who said "Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him" and that he "DIED TOO LATE."
- A German national who celebrated Charlie's death + wrote
"when fascists die, democrats don't complain."
- A Paraguayan national who said "Charlie Kirk was a son of a b**** and he died by his own rules."

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."
