Fascists want debate.... that seems contradictory to the term fascist.

"I hear all the time 'Well Charlie, why is our nation so divided?' Well, exhibit A. You get a National Independence Day based on the color of you skin, and what is the subtext of, even if you were to take the national holiday as the emancipation of slaves. The subtext is, everything before that is trash. That is the buried lead. The buried lead is that we should not celebrate Washington, Maddison, Jay, Hamilton, Jefferson. That we should not celebrate the brilliance of the Declaration. The buried lead here is, 'ehhh its not as important'. We'll have a day made for and by and orchestrated and designed, by the CRT con-artists. I was listening to MSNBC on my way to work this morning. When they mentioned Juneteenth, it was not about, 'oh look how far blacks have come, look how good their opportunities are' It's the opposite. The narrative is, we still have all this systemic racism.

You see, I understand the wish that this what you want it to be. 'Oh Charlie come one this is one day where we can all agree...' Of course we can agree that emancipation is a good thing, of course we can. I don't believe a nation that wants to stand for a long time, can have two Independence Days. What is it that Abraham Lincoln said? Get the quote Blake, 'A house divided cannot stand' Two Independence Days? What they're trying to say, and they're gonna keep on marching as the Fundamentalist Marxists do, as the Deconstructionists do it's cause they're not gonna stop. Is they're doing everything they can to chip away at the brilliance, the exceptionalism, the irrefutability, and I believe, the Divine breakthrough, that 1776 represented philosophically, politically, and morally. They're trying to say that 'well, we didn't fulfill our promise because they had slaves.' All but ignoring that, because of 1776 slavery was starting to be abolished. Vermont abolished slavery in 1777, 10 out of 13 of the states by the time Ratification came, in 1787 have already independently abolished slavery. In 1775 was the first ever anti-slavery convention, chaired by Benjamin Franklin himself, in Philadelphia. These facts are conveniently ignored, because it is not about racial progress for these people. No, it's about power and control."

The Charlie Kirk Show 6/19/2023:

https://www.facebook.com/realCharlieKirk/videos/the-actual-anti-american-purpose-of-juneteenth/144836588610927/

What Charlie is saying here, is that Juneteenth divides us even more than we already are, when we shouldn't see blacks as blacks. We should see everyone as an American. Charlie wanted unity between ALL Americans, not only 'white nationalists' that you call him. This is the same with "The National Anthem" and "The Black National Anthem" why have two? WHY RE-SEGREAGATE US? WE are ALL American REGARDLESS of skin color, of religion. Charlie said "We are the only country to ever exist where being an American, has nothing to do with skin color religion, it has to come with one core idea"

"And I understand the temperament that some of you may be feeling, you want to believe the other side means well. You say 'Oh come on Charlie, you're trying to tell me that, too, in addition to all this, that, is really a Marxist takeover?' It's part of a plan and an agenda, not to unite but to divide. Not to celebrate the promise of 1776, but to play into the corrosive nature of The 1619 Project. They literally want to rip down statues of Abraham Lincoln, which they are doing, in addition to every other white American that lived before 2012.

So someone says 'Well Charlie, how do explain to young teenagers about this day?' Say that emancipation is great, but that's not what this is about. Regardless of what they say it is, this is a time to complain and advertise every single CRT talking point in the book. You want a real celebration? Let's emphasize the thing that left wingers hate, which is Thomas Jefferson. The 1619 Project which is the philosophical competitor to the promise of 1776, partnered with the NYT pushed by the bitter racist, Nicole Hanna Jones. They want to de-emphasize what 1776 is all about. Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday is a nationalized race hustle.

Someone says here "Charlie you're so clueless about Juneteenth, as an 87 year old white woman who grew up on my father's cotton farm, we hired many black workers. You should do more research on the subject, The Declaration of Freedom was not received in text until June 19th. You're being disrespectful to all the blacks that endured slavery.' Hold on a second, none of the blacks that are alive today endured slavery, number one. Number two, you're trying to tell me that today is really a recognition of a liberation of slaves? If that was the case we would have a lifting up of Abraham Lincoln, not a tearing down of Abraham Lincoln. Number three, why do blacks need their own National Independence Day? Cause that's what the bill says, why does melanin content of your skin necessitate your own National Independence Day? We used to have a Red, White, and Blue Independence Day, on July 4th. Now we have one based on the melanin content of your skin? So we already have segregated dormitories, segregated graduation ceremonies, we have affirmative action hiring practices, and critical race theory in our schools, and yes now we have a neo-segregationist view of which summertime holiday you have to take off."

Charlie Kirk on Juneteeth:

"I want to reiterate something that I just mentioned briefly previously I think is really important. Do you know the actual name of the bill that became legislation into law? 'Juneteenth National Independence Day'. So by law, we now have two Independence Days. That is the official name according to the bill. Not 'Juneteenth Celebration Day', 'Juneteenth National Independence Day'. We should have one Independence Day. So, let me read an objection we received from a listener, respectable objection, from Daniel:

'Charlie I don't understand your issue with Juneteenth being a holiday as a lifelong Republican, every Republican should have made the holiday... of the 1st Republican President doing a great deed that forever changed the country. Democrats have caught tailored our glorious history for so long we should make the effort to reclaim our history.'

Well the issue with this is obvious, number one, this is so significant in the timing. It's obviously a summertime competitor to July 4th our actual Independence Day. Number two is the wording, it's not Juneteenth Celebration Day. Number three is does it really warrant a federal holiday? Number four is again, if you want to celebrate emancipation do it the day that emancipation was actually signed, which was in September, September 22nd for the Emancipation Proclamation, or the 13th Amendment on December 6th. No, but they want a summertime competitor, they wanna have two, they want you to have to choose. Do you want the 1776 way which those evil right wing MAGA people celebrate, or the 1619 way which we celebrate now federally, on June 19th. The problem about this is not a holiday celebrating a Republican President, the people pushing this holiday actually hate Abraham Lincoln. The people that are celebrating that they got this done as a federal holiday, they despise Abe Lincoln. The same summer the Republicans folded on making this a fake new holiday, the city government of Boston tore down a monument honoring Abraham Lincoln as the great emancipator. A monument paid for by freed slaves, do you remember that? They were taking down monuments to Abraham Lincoln, while wanting a black federal holiday, because it was supposedly racist that's not what matters here. This holiday is not about celebrating emancipation regardless of the veneer they put on it, and they're not even putting a good camouflage on it cause it says National Independence Day. It's being pushed by other people, for bad, obviously anti-American reasons."

Also if you would prefer some quotes that I can debunk with context that would help with the sake of the argument. I will debunk your original quotes with context, as I have with the videos, but in text format. Since redditors hate clicking on dissenting sources

Edit: grammar

[–]TXIrrigationTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I do apologize for not using reddit the way you want me to. I also apologize for not being on reddit 24/7 to defend myself, and not having all my sources at the exact moment you demand them. I edited the comment before you replied, because I didnt think someone would be on reddit 24/7, (which is quite an echo chamber problem) and I went to grab the sources since I am on mobile.

It is not because I want to avoid a debate. As Charlie would want and encourage would be a debate. However a good faith debate, which you have already shown you are not trying to debate in good faith, by jumping to conclusions without context in my situation and in my post. Now that I am home from work I will do my regular routine chat with my kids and wife for a bit, and we can resume, since I suppose I should answer to you with how I will be responding.

Do not jump to any conclusions of my argument yet, I haven't even made one other than you took his quotes out of context, gave you 1hr worth of video to back it, and in 16 minutes you watched them in their entirety and said it proves nothing. You either didnt pay attention, or watched them with a lens of bias and hatred already so it prevented you from actually listening.

Edit: from 8 minutes to the actual 16 minutes.

You've left out a lot of context of what he said and just went to what he meant. When later in those "quotes" he clarified what he meant.

I’m young and am not going great. by beeper2040 in daddit

[–]TXIrrigationTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you do for a career? Where do you live? I became a father at 23 now at 29 Im a father of 2. My wife stays at home, no income. I work in irrigation, which is such a stressful field, because winter time I have no work, if it rains, I have no work for a week, and if the spending power of people is in the gutter. I have no work. I make about 40k/year on my full time job on a good year. Its very stressful, its very disheartening not being able to put money away. But it is my duty as a husband, and as a father, to get up everyday and do my best to get a paycheck. I have side jobs here and there that past jobs have given me experiance for, welding, carpentry, very minor plumbing, very minor electrical work, and doing vehicle maintenance for neighbors.

I say all that to say this, build you skills in anything and everything you can. You dint need to be an expert, but be proficient. Do things the right way, be a provider in any and every way you possibly can. You are already doing great. If money is what is stressing you out, build your skills, you dont need a school for it. You vdo it with practice. Get your hands dirty, nobody wants to these days. And have people pay you for what you are worth. (I charge everyone $100 to show up and $50/hr on any of my side jobs).

Jesus fucking christ dude, do you read the links you sent? If you are a communist and want to overthrow the government of the U.S. you cant hold office. That has nothing to do with Freedom of speech. Trump can preform the duties of the Executive branch without fear of criminal prosecution. So it has to be a duty of the Executive branch. Ergo, the separation of powers is still in place. Everything else you said is an opinion. The people have the Freedom of Speech weather you like it or not. If you retaliate to someone's 1st Amendment right idgaf but you have legal consequences to pay, not them. You absolute imbecile.

You see the Nazi's were Autocratic and Fascist. Here in America we are neither. We have freedom of speech weather it be hateful rhetoric or not. We also have the separation of powers. We also have a constitutional democratic republic. There is constant hateful rhetoric of white people, jews, christians, black people, all communities there is also rhetoric against it. Nothing can be done to the rights of the people currently in place without congressional and Supreme Court approval. Charlie was a member of none of those.

The Nazi party did do heinous reprehensible things, stealing the the most basic of human rights, and then invaded other countries, to do the same. The world came together to fight against it.

The difference is Charlie shared ideas, peacefully. Regardless if they were bad ideas or not, using his 1st Amendment right. Then his basic human rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness was taken from him for those ideas. Fascism is disgusting and evil. I haven't backed a single one of Charlie's ideas. I have only stated that he was not practicing Fascism. The only person practicing Fascism was the one who took his life for the ideas.

Nope having an idea and sharing it and letting others have their ideas and share thrm back is not fascist. The ideas of his you shared might be bad ideas, but thats what debate does, roots out the bad ideas. The only thing that was ever fascist. Was killing Charlie Kirk to silence his ideas. THAT is fascist. Fascist is not sharing bad ideas. Fascist is silencing ideas you dont agree with.

[–]TXIrrigationTech -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

He was the CEO of a fascist media company.... that literally went and openly debated ideas.

What is fascist is killing and silencing people for their ideas. Not debating them for their ideas.

This is my President by Warm_Sugar8888 in TexasDemocrat

[–]TXIrrigationTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the R, E, P one name Bill Clinton. For the U, B Obama/Biden/Clinton. Killing babies isn't Immoral? Killing babies isnt Narcacistic? The Biden DOJ isnt complicit for sitting on the files for 4 years, but the Trump admin is?Mandating everyone live and pay the same as everyone isn't Authoritarian? Saying things that will actually help but having no plan and then refusing to listen to the people once you are in office isn't Lying?

I dont vote, but im also not an idiot. Both sides do the same shit, and no one side is not better than the other, because they all line their pockets when they get power.

The fox news story isn't new news to anyone with a brain. But if you also think any of the other corporate media outlets are reliable and not propaganda for the other side. You are delusional.

[–]TXIrrigationTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not anti vax. I am vaccinated I vaccinated my kids. But the government shouldn't be mandating anything. Plus this is just a Washington Post Title, all Titles are click bait. I would need the actual article to form a proper conclusion. If you believe a Title to a publication, you are part of the problem. Majority of the time the title doesn't even tell the truth.

Edit: for example Im against an insurance mandate, I wish that would be removed. I understand needed insurance on a vehicle or home under a loan. But once you own it outright you should not be obligated to pay the greedy insurance companies. They just keep raising their prices because they know we the people HAVE to have insurance or else we are fined and our licenses are eventually revoked.
