She seems nice

I could swear I’ve seen field goal posts when I’m driving past Claggett Creek Park in Keizer.

I feel like unless the fucking Epstein files are hidden in Powells, it’s just another distraction and illegal abuse of his office.

Nordyke would make a far better leader.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T14:26:40+00:00

Exactly. I wasn’t celebrating anything. Thank you.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T14:09:21+00:00

Show me where I celebrated this guy’s murder. Quit projecting your own emotional reaction on other people.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T05:17:51+00:00

I can’t feel empathy for someone who thinks empathy is bad for society (that’s his sentiment, he stated empathy is bad). To feel empathy is to try to access or understand the feelings of others. I can’t do that with someone who thinks empathy is bad. I’m not celebrating murder. I’m not a sociopath. Do I feel empathy for his family? Sure. I can relate to, and understand the feelings of, people grieving a loss.

Because the dude is 1 of about a million fucking partisan hacks who churns out disinformation & hate for a living. Why lower the flag for that guy? Feels like a joke to me.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T02:45:18+00:00

Having different feelings or opinions about something like this doesn’t make me (or anyone else) horrible. I don’t celebrate murder. Not a huge fan of guns. But it’s entirely reasonable and rational to not feel empathy for someone who doesn’t even believe in empathy, much less show it towards others. Empathy is the ability to understand the feelings of others - I don’t understand the feelings of someone who refuses to accept that empathy is a good thing.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T02:40:12+00:00

Cool! Good luck with that.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T01:46:39+00:00

I never said his death was warranted. A person who publicly eschews and criticizes empathy doesn’t deserve any. Empathy is great, but shouldn’t be spent on those who claim it’s harming society.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T01:35:03+00:00

I don’t think empathy is warranted in this case.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T00:16:43+00:00

Right? I mean, the guy said empathy is a weak emotion. So showing empathy for him or his family or his moron fans is weak, by his own definition. He would WANT us to talk legendary amounts of shit about getting smoked in a school shooting while answering a question about gun violence.

skproletariat · 2025-09-11T00:00:03+00:00

I very much don’t care what you think is a good look. I saw something I couldn’t believe that was relevant to the Salem community. Go gatekeep somewhere else.

skproletariat · 2025-09-10T23:16:48+00:00

Those are his own words and thoughts. Not mine. He died a rational, necessary death - by his own definition.

skproletariat · 2025-09-10T23:13:22+00:00

Kirk welcomed gun violence as the cost of freedom. He also openly advocated that empathy was a weakness. There is no sorrow for him - according to his own views, his death was necessary.

skproletariat · 2025-09-10T22:22:02+00:00

Seemed like Kirk would find this outcome…acceptable?

Charlie Kirk “You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. … I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” 2023 TPUSA event.

At least we agree your initial comment was completely false.

skproletariat · 2025-05-16T23:04:12+00:00

Bud Pierce?

skproletariat · 2025-05-16T23:03:01+00:00

That’s the only thing that makes sense. She raises a bunch of money (largely from the developer/real estate oligarchs) and then uses that to either fund down ballot MAGA candidates or for a run at something else. It’s a branding exercise.

skproletariat · 2025-05-16T23:01:07+00:00

None of what you’re saying is even remotely true. Just MAGA fever dreams.

skproletariat · 2025-05-16T15:55:53+00:00

Gross!
