hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'We have a statue of MLK': GOP lawmakers push for Charlie Kirk monument in CapitolEnglish21·30 days agoThere is a big difference between. Most people who aren’t actively engaged in this type of discourse like you and I, or don’t pay meticulous attention to conservative media outlets, likely don’t know who Kirk is, let alone care.
MLK Jr. got historically important exposure on television with the broadcast of the March on Washington, D.C. This was one of the first civil rights events to be televised. When you have a new medium to disseminate news that for the first time gives you not just the voice but the image of the people involved, I think that has a huge impact. Prior to this, MLK Jr. was a highly respected religious leader.
Most people today, would probably have to seek out non-governmental sides of political discourse, to even know who Kirk is. I have no doubt your average conservative that watches Fox News has been exposed to Kirk, but they likely won’t recall any talking points. He wasn’t in an elected office. Today, that would probably be the only reason any lay person would listen to them.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings.English4·1 month agoIs the shooter a person of color? Seriously, ask yourself that. Likely that is the citing factor for someone coming up with fucking bullshit like this. When the shooter is white, the defenders of gun rights will point to mental health. The point I am making is that POC will be a used as a scapegoat to upturn causes in society for their actions while a white person is largely upheld by gun rights advocates as a sign of failure to address mental health.

Phil McGraw is downright, possibly a toxic man to be taking any advice from. There have been longstanding allegations that drugs (maybe alcohol too) have been given to guest on his talk show before taping, while those on medications allegedly have had them withheld before taping. That is on top of the typical toxic workplace behavior that has been reported with similar type of environments.
He needs to open a history textbook book.

She is profiting from your consumption of a franchise and using that fame to attack women.
I am heartbroken by what they have become. My childhood (and many other people’s) had that franchise throughout a big part of it. It has become shameful to say I was ever a fan. Nothing will redeem them. Nothing will make it okay to consume anything related to this franchise.
If you openly wear/carry/own merchandise of any kind today, you are literally sporting symbols of hatred. Please stop doing that.
