This Is Why We Lose

~ Clarissa

Everybody seems to have forgotten about Tyler Robinson, the murderer of Charlie Kirk. Here’s a new investigation into him and his boyfriend who has now seemingly been allowed to evade all responsibility for egging on the murderer:

The Right refuses to honor its dead and turns the investigation of a brutal assassination into a self-promotion opportunity for its most tenuously grounded members. The discussion of Kirk’s murder should go back to Robinson, Twiggs, and the subculture that created them but too many people are finding it profitable to derail the investigation.

In a similar situation, the Left would have arrested everybody who ever was in the same room with the killer, reshaped every institution in the country and assigned collective condemnation of the perpetrator in every classroom starting from infant daycare.

This is why we lose. We can’t stay on point, can’t avoid getting baited into attacking each other and giving the opponent a pass on everything.

Let’s find some inner discipline and go back to discussing what actually happened.

  1. “Right refuses to honor its dead and turns the investigation of a brutal assassination into a self-promotion opportunity”

    Two techniques for separating the sane right from woke right…

    -woke right turns _everything_ into a chance to talk about Israel and Jews… anyone who tries to turn Kirk’s death into an Israeli plot is woke right

    -woke right can’t meme…. (not my insight, but once it was pointed out, they’re about as bad as the left, they make everything into a lesson rather than a drive by splash of truth which is the key to good memes.

    2. We are now at a stage of poring over the catty texts that Candace Owens claims she exchanged with Charlie 7 years ago to decide if they are real or manufactured. Because they are supposed to mean something important.

      One kind of hopes that private moments of cattiness remain private between friends but these days you never know.

    3. woke right turns _everything_ into a chance to talk about Israel

      Yes, it’s Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson and Auron MacCintyre who are in charge of government policy. They also personally directed the electoral strategies for winning these elections that the GOP lost.

      This is, as the young people says, cope. There is no such thing as the “woke right” and even if such a faction exists, it is a vanishingly small one with no power within your party. Which, let me remind you, is still hundred times more aligned with Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz than the latest bugbear you’ve drummed up to excuse your side’s tendency to do nothing for americans (and conversely everything for israel, but that is almost a given).

      The maga right can’t meme? Oh good! They clearly cannot organize a million man march. They also cannot meme (according to you) so they can’t influence anyone online. They’re pretty ineffective then, it seems. So why are you so concerned about them? Why do you take every chance to shoehorn them into every discussion? We were talking about this government’s failure to bring its leftist enemies to justice in this post, and your first reaction is to blame the “woke right.” You’re embarrassing yourself, dude.

      1. ” within your party”

        I belong to no party and I’m not a conservative (centrist eclectic functionalist might be the most accurate label).

        “maga right can’t meme?”

        They can. The guys who think Churchill was the bad guy in WWII can’t.

          Ah, the view from nowhere. Refusing to commit to anything and doing drive-by commentary on everyone else is just chickenshit behavior, I’m sorry. And the easiest thing in the world. Let’s live in the real. Which politician do you support? Which party do you support? Which faction within that party do you support?

          Also, good job dodging the substance of my post and falling back on nitpicking. The entire trump administration shitting the bed and your immediate response is to blame online shitposters. Just lol.

          2. “Which politician do you support? Which party do you support?”

            I support policies, not politicians or parties.

            “entire trump administration shitting the bed”

            have I claimed otherwise?

            not living in the US I didn’t bote, but if I had it would have been for Trump over Harris (no brainer).

            I support policies that build strong civil societies with physical infrastructure (like roads, bridges, functional power grids etc) and social infrastructure (safe not overly partisan public education, public libraries, civic associations, churches, bowling clubs etc).

            I support very limited immigration (with a higher priority based on wanting US values rather than just material things).

            I don’t support the hyper-individualization and clout and money chasing put forth by both parties now or bean-counting scams like DOGE or the grift pyramids known as US healthcare or housing or attention vvhoring identities etc.

            Which party supports that? Which politician is actually working toward any of that?

    2. It’s the parents. Both families have thriving family businesses in construction/ home repairs. I think Lance’s family actually owns the building. On what planet it is a good idea to give a gift of such expensive lodgings to an adult son with a drug problem I have no idea. The family should have invested the money into a rehab for the dude.

      1. “But he’ll be out on the street” is a powerful motivator. You can’t force them into rehab once they’re legal adults. Have seen it in person.

        But also, really don’t see the difference between this, and living under a bridge. More likely to get help from the bridge.

  3. The frontrunner to replace DeSantis as governor after his term ends. He has trump’s endorsement.

    Cliff: “This just goes to show how powerful the woke right is. They made trump endorse this man.”

    1. You know how libtards always go with the tired “republicans pounce” talking point after every gruesome murder committed by someone who absolutely had no business walking the streets (someone with 30+ felonies, illegal migrant etc.)? They can’t defend the murder so this is all they have.

      Cliff, here, employs the same tactic. Unable to defend the actual actions of the government, which are plain for the whole world to see, his line of attack becomes “how dare you notice it? what’s with all the infighting? You’re sabotaging our side!!” The problem is not what trump is doing. No sireee, the real problem is talking about it.

      1. This is literally the chamber of commerce neoliberal wing of the GOP talking point.

        “Deporting illegals is too hard so let’s give up on that. But, in the meantime let’s have more legal immigration!”

        2. Focusing on illegal immigration is deflecting from the problem. The real problem nowadays, EVERYWHERE in the West, is LEGAL immigration.

          1. Yes. When Keir Starmer prattles about reducing illegal immigration, it’s clear that the way he’ll reduce it is by bringing everybody in legally.

            Did you see that WW2 veteran on BBC who said “my friends died for nothing”? And the stupid hosts treated him like he was a mental invalid? That’s very symbolic of the Western culture today.
