There is a new Prophet, recently martyred, and blasphemy against Him is punishable by deportation, loss of employment, doxxing and social shunning. You should not take His Name in vain, and quoting his own words can be blasphemy too; only the Anointed are allowed to quote Him without penalty.

The irony is this from the very people who claimed to be fighting against "cancel culture".

What aboutry. It is wrong whoever does it. See how Fetterman is being treated by Dems. He has spoken against Dems celebrating Kirk's assassination. He is also a Jew. Double whammy for him. Naturally he has become a hero for the GOPers now. Just like Dubya was lionized by Michelle after he went against Orange chimp.

Let me engage in my own what-aboutry now the smartalec know-it-alls opened the gates wide open.

KD was the most incompetent of all the executive in the past 5 years. Even Biden did better than her 2021-2023. He started wandering off literally and figuratively only in 2024.

She is good debater. But she is working towards her PhD in this same area at Oxford. I would expect nothing less than this performs of hers against a college dropout generalist.

I would like to what her MPhil/PhD thesese say about varNaashramadharma and her views on Modi/BJP/RSS. Would she be willing to come to IITKgp and debate J. Sai Deepak or Dr. Ranganathan on these and other issues if she has a different take.

When would people realize that our enemy's enemy is not necessarily our friend? :rotfl:

Also, I am sure all ivy leagues and places like Berkeley, UChicago, Kelllogs/Jounalism schools of Northwestern, Stanford all would have a debate club or society. Why did they not debate Kirk in that setting instead of letting Antifa and outsiders do goonda gardi and fist fights on campus?!!! That would have been more illuminating than let Kirk do freeform open debates on campuses?

It is still not too late for these "elite" colleges now that Shapiro is rumored to be taking over Turning Point USA.

Both sound insufferable and examples of people who one would not want to associate with in spare time. Life is too short….

I posted that Kirk vs Student for one reason and one reason alone - Kirk’s statement that third -world immigrants are turning the US into a third world country.

Yes, that means you too, Americans of Indian origin.

If you didn’t notice that Kirk said it, you need to sharpen your ability to catch the signal in all of the noise. The fight of whether Western women should eschew a career and have a lot of kids instead is not your fight. You are not Western, and the chances are that on BRF you are not a woman. But for Kirk and his political party that control all three branches of the US federal government, you are a third world immigrant. It doesn’t matter if you are a CEO of a large Silicon Valley company; if not Kirk, then his associate in the White House, Stephen Miller has made it clear that even so you are ruining American culture. They don’t want you in the US, they don’t want your children in the US, and they have the power to make it so, or are perilously close to it.

Nothing that the student said is a threat to you. She doesn’t enjoy the ear of a President with unconstrained power, and she is in England, not the USA. England is not a country where the Secretary of State has made noises about revoking the passports of citizens and the visas of non-citizens for being critical of Kirk.

-Suits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and 60 Minutes.
-Extorting settlements from CBS, ABC, and others.
-Blocking the AP's access to the White House.
- Firing data scientists ...

Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC.
This is also what Jimmy Kimmel said the day that Charlie Kirk was assassinated:

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.
