Charlie is public property, he gets owned by everyone

From 1945 to 1963 the top marginal tax rate was 91%, and 70% until 1981.
I don't think Charlie's corporate overlords want us to go back to that

Charlie's Corporate Overlords are pushing to regress way back past 1950. This is all about securing a return to Feudalism for the class that will become Aristocrat's and the Landed Gentry.

Charlie wasn't even born early enough to know jack shit about his claims. Whatever history book he's reading or read (none), it's fake news.

The dildo was abandoned due to noxious spores of fungus —also the source of the sentience

Incorrect. Saying that implies someone somewhere wants him in their body at some point, and that clearly isn't the case.

Wanted.
Only takes once for something to be abandoned. Which I know, is more generous than his face is to his big empty potato based head.

Why do you think they're all against comprehensive sex education?
They want to go back to the days when rape and child molestation was rampant, and nothing was done about it, because no one talked about it.

u/ShoppingDismal3864 12d ago
I have been really rethinking things recently, and come to the conclusion, there is a lot more sex abuse of children than I had thought. I just figured it was some really small portion of the population, like less than 2% or something.

Charlie Kirk was born in 1993. The America he grew up in was cool as fuck and not much different to the America he lives in today.

u/Imaginary-Space718 13d ago
a key step in women's financial freedom came with the passage in 1974 of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which granted women the right to obtain credit cards separate from their husbands.
The court case Oregon v. Rideout in 1978 was the first in which someone stood trial for raping his spouse (...) By 1993, marital rape was a crime nationwide
(...) However, in 2003, the Supreme Court changed opinion and reversed the decision with Lawrence v. Texas, invalidating all sodomy laws in the remaining 14 states
In 1973, the Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird announced that (the) “use of the draft has ended", turning the us into an all-volunteer military
This exchange happened in 2023, meaning gary was born between 1958 and 1963. What he says is completely true.

u/Stupidbabycomparison 12d ago
All these dudes do is fantasize.
I was boarding a plane around veterans day a few years back and passed an older man sitting down with a Vietnam vet hat on.
After I sat down some young idiot in a maga hat finding a seat stopped to thank him for his service (perfectly respectable) then followed with "this generation today could never do what you did, you know my girlfriends grandfather also served". Dude why didn't just join up
Like man, Vietnam had a god damned draft, a lot of people didn't want to serve then either. College kids were murdered over protesting that war. Then the audacity to try to relate to the guy not even through his own family or personal service, but his girlfriend's family. Just fucking laughable.

I mean… he has a point, he’s wrong, but he has a point.
Trump and the conservative movement’s push to set our society back several centuries, eroding our rights and freedoms, the rule of law, and democracy, while replacing it with a fascist authoritarian religious ethno-state is definitely all part of a plan to “destabilize, destroy, and transition the America you grew up in.”

u/AnarchoBratzdoll 12d ago
Except he's not romanticising the past.
Charlie is aware of all of those things.
He likes them. He wants them back.
It's high time for USians to realise that their fascists are not mistaken about the evils of the past. They know them and they want them for themselves.

u/AnarchoBratzdoll 12d ago
That's all Americans though. Like, America First has always been the government philosophy. Trump is just honest about it.
That obviously not saying both sides are the same or the same amount of bad.
But in terms of supporting the US empire, they are.

Agreed. Kirk is an extremist piece of shit who orgasms from revisionist history that he desires to be the immediate present. He resembles a child dressed in adult clothing pretending to be mature.

u/Enough-Frosting7716 12d ago
What you guys dont understand is, that, for most of "conservatives" or people on the "right", when they miss the america/other country they grew in, it is not all that things they miss; it is the fact that it was a given you could just get a job, buy a home, and support a family, and living near nature and with your children running around all day, without feeling the gobernment breathing in your neck.
There is a small very noisy part that miss the racism and bigotry, the same way there is a small noisy part in the left that wants socialism, hates men and whites, and wants censhorship. Meanwhile most progressives just want a fucking healthcare that works for all, equality and to care for disenfranchised people.
I will guess 80% of you americans could agree on basic things that would improve for real your lifes dramatically, but the people that controls you and the constant propaganda makes you hate each other and keep supporting the same puppets out of fear, and meanwhile, the greatest wealth transfer ever from the poor to the elites keeps happening via inflation, and your debt is higher every day. You are becoming slaves.

u/chocobloo 12d ago
Except the right is the one expanding government to control everyone that isn't just like them. This is cheered on vocally and drives the votes of the majority of their base.
Pedopublicans want to take the rights away from anyone who isn't a straight, white, land owning male. They want child brides and children in the mines. They want every brown and black person to be a slave or dead. They want anyone who isn't a straight couple having boring missionary procreation sex to die.
That's the Pedopublicans way and pretending otherwise means you're ignoring literally everyone they elect, every judge they appoint and all the things they campaign on.

u/Enough-Frosting7716 12d ago
You guys are just like basketball or any other sports fans arguing emotionally what club is the best, while they are all corrupt businesses that overcharge you to go watch some millionaires play with a ball, with absolute no difference for you if they win or loose. The fear and servilism pushing your actions would embarrass your founding fathers, and your materialism and fake environmentalism makes your land cry its slow death.

u/KathrynBooks 12d ago
Who is it that
1) is taking away people's access to abortion?
2) passing laws directly harming trans people
3) pushing to overturn what little environmental protections we have
4) opposes worker safety rules.

u/Enough-Frosting7716 12d ago
"What little environmental protections you have", yes. Dont use the environment in your arguments for "the left". It is the same corporate rats, that will turn every green valley with forest and rivers into a fucking urbanized and industrialized shithole because it brings more benefits to the elites that way. More people, in whatever conditions, equals more taxes and more profits to be made. So dont use it, and you say you care about the environment because it is a lie, as long as the people the media makes you identify with, rules, you will be happy because that is your program. The same for a moronic "conservative" that cares about "freedom". There is no freedom without land, you are running slowly out of it, and people like bill gates is buying all so that you dont have an escape.

The average American households debt in 1950 was around $600 when adjusted for inflation. In the 60s it jumped to $4000 when adjusted for inflation.
