She made only one direct reference to Kirk, quoting his own words:

“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”. - Charlie Kirk

    And the way you defended yourself preemptively makes you sound like you knew very well you were being pedantic and what the result would be.

    Yeah - I’ve been around the internet before. You say “A” and you get 30 responses immediately for not saying “B”.

    You don’t think I would have been accused of defending Kirk? Have you just created an account on social media for the first time?

      Mate, I don’t really care. I responded with the idea that you were frustrated in good faith and just struggling with a bout of well-intentioned 'tism. I’ve been there before so I could relate.

      Also, welcome to the internet has been cringe for over twenty years, and I’ve been here since social media was alt.rec.your.mom.

      Of course you got accused for defending Kirk because there is no fathomable point to your post other than being disagreeable. The qualitative difference between what was said and your correction is nil. You knew what would happen, your preemptive protestations did nothing but make it clear you knew what you were doing and chose violence. But somehow “Lemmy” is the problem and not your comment.

      Well, have it your way. I’m moving on.

        I mean - I’m not frustrated - more amused than anything else. My hypothesis is that nobody actually read the snopes link and just assumed it said something otherwise. 🤷
