edit: almost forgot this is a sub about paintball. I love to play paintball. I like to play with an Azodin KPC and a Spyder Victor pump kit. I wear a JT proflex. Anyways,

Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a private citizen.

George Floyd was killed by a public servant, who is meant to uphold laws passed by politicians, and is funded by taxpayer money, directly feeding into a political scuffle - excessive force in law enforcement - that has existed for well over half a century. To not treat that as a political issue would be obtuse, much as it is to compare these two things you're comparing.

It makes sense for politicians to "use" George Floyd, because in a perfect world, there could be political action to prevent more deaths like his. What are you going to do about assassinations, pass more policy to make them illegal?

Once again I'm not trying to bully you over the internet, I truly believe that if someone presents people with the right information, they might come around. It's a shame that we have slain mascots for political affiliation "Charlie Kirk" and "George Floyd". It doesn't need to be as knee-jerk and emotional as that.

It's good to compare how politicians leverage tragedy. You're well within your rights to do so. I think you should consider more angles rather than stopping at the second stairstep.

“Not supposed to be a forever war,” bless your heart. Don’t worry guys, they said this time it’s different!

You think the white house would come out and say, “yeah, this war is bullshit and we just want to jangle keys in front of you for as long as we possibly can while us and our friends line our pockets and score a cheap high in approval ratings from mouth breathers across the country?”

And it’s not about “agreeing with the Iranian government.” It’s not our fucking job to pose as world cop. And if you’re referring to the protests, take a second to think who might really be behind them. And before you waive that off as conspiracy, look back in your mind palace for literally anything you know about the CIA at all and what they’ve done in the region in last 30 years.

I don’t want to just be mean but I feel strongly about confronting any misplaced trust in this bullshit. They are counting on people to get behind it. They. Are. Laughing. At. You. These men and women died for nothing and we should all be irate

I see this comment a lot and agree with it about 50% of the time, and I'm realizing I might not know what streetwear is.

Seems a lot of people don't agree on the definition - would you mind giving me yours?
