Who has deleted their social media today?

Remember the good old days when people were downright giddy about Nancy Pelosi's husband having his skull caved in with a hammer? I remember that clearly.

On the other hand, do you remember the huge outrage on the right, in June this year, when a Minnesota state senator, her husband and her dog were all assassinated and another senator and her husband suffered an attempted assassination, all by the same perpetrator? Yeah, neither do I.

I don't recall much outrage about this from the same kinds of sources who are so angry about anyone joking about CK's assassination.EQuWC6a.jpeg
 
There have always been people who react to events like this in ways to draw attention to themselves. There’s an expression for that but I can’t remember it right now.:)

Sometimes it just gets ignored, others times it generates outrage. Right now, with Charlie, almost everything that is in support of the murder is generating outrage, as it should.

But what hasn’t disappointed so far is all of the conspiracy theories and false reporting.

It seems there is absolutely no reason to let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I would encourage everybody to take any post with a little skepticism. And I don’t think any source should be viewed as 100% reliable as they have all been known to jump before looking before.
 
I’m about 30 seconds from deleting my account here (yes I consider this social media). Unfortunately this place has gone from well intentioned to just an extension of Reddit. Too over modded, too many people that have no clue what they’re talking about, and yet I’m the one that always gets in trouble for countering the narrative. I just need to figure out how and I’m out of here.

I sent this in a PM and I’ll post it here-

First of all, I’m not on Reddit so I have no idea what you mean.

If you can’t be civil, let alone polite, then you aren’t welcome here and shouldn’t be welcome anywhere.

@ikeo1

Can you assist this fine gentleman in figuring out how to delete his account?

You're correct, ironically you have you're perpetuating your own narrative. Then say we're over moderating, when we try to tell people we don't know what the truth is yet or go ahead and believe what you want. Its America. I honestly don't care if you think the world is flat, as long as you don't try to convince me.

If you'd like, use the contact us button to request account deletion and we'll take care of that. Another alternative is I a can change your account status to remove the forums for classifieds only.

You think you're tired of it, imagine being in my shoes. Trying to the hold the line of civility and decorum.

I infrequently will bail on a social media account. Once a month I go back to posts I've made here and there and delete any whose pur[pose was served or I think could bite me in the ass if I had to blast a criminal.

Ikeo1: You are doing a good job. Don’t worry. One cannot please everyone.

And I had no idea of who Charlie Kirk was before his very unfortunate death.

Attention whores? :)

I don't do social media, except for a couple of forums like this one. Never have or will.

I see them all as a plague on mankind and responsible for some serious societal problems.
 
I think it was Abraham Lincoln that said it best: "One should not believe everything he reads on the internet."
 
And I had no idea of who Charlie Kirk was before his very unfortunate death.

Me either. In fact, I'm still not sure why dude was famous, but I get that a lot at my age.

Please, enough playing the poor little victim. We all get slapped around by the mods when we act like asses. However, don't let me discourage you from canceling your account, you do you.

Social media for me has become an invaluable news aggregation resource. When people post links to true news articles from reputable sources like The Hill, Just Security, Stratfor, The New York Times, the Washington post, just to name a few, it allows me to use the SM site as an index for the News. I don't give a 💩 about the opinions or the memes and the disinformation but, having a daily news index is invaluable.

Is the term you're looking for: "Attention seeking behavior"?

It's my opinion that Tyler Robinson was not an attention seeking criminal. The earmarks of such behaviors are not there.

IMO, Robinson was outraged by Kirk's behavior and that is his right, whether his outrage was justified or not is a different discussion. Unfortunately, he allowed his human instincts to get the better of him and he resorted to violence to silence someone who he was outraged about.

As humans, without the impending threat of punishment, we intentionally kill and injure each other. When we are given "permission" to do it on the field of battle, many of us jump at the opportunity, some with relish. A lot of police do this as well. Many think they have the authority to kill even though they do not unless they or other members of the public are directly threatened but, with the brotherhood of police frequently covering for each other, especially if there is no witnesses or video, a lot of civilians die needlessly at their hands.

Warriors are allowed to kill, police get away with killing and injuring people needlessly and frequently but, the average citizen is expected to curtail their instincts and some of us are just incapable of doing that.

Well just curious if anyone has deleted their social media due to the absolute filth and evil that has been put forward on social media over the last few days. Just curious.

Yeah, I'm gonna do a ton of house cleanin across all of my platforms. I like everyone here in the California 2A community, no matter your political preferences, too much to let online talk get in the way of talking guns.
