Thread 24718919

Why is Stephen King suddenly so afraid? I have a strong feeling his publisher is really not happy with him right now.

>>24718919 (OP)
I don't get it. He made a mistake and apologized instead of being a condescending prick like other libs.

I don’t care about your politics, but mouthing off on social media is always retarded.

Only narcissists and spergs who think their every written word is gospel engage in this. It serves no purpose other than to immortalize your inane observations for all to laugh at or misconstrue. To post your thoughts online is to say “here, take my words, use them for whatever purpose you like.” Utter stupidity

>>24718925
That’s the wrong move
The right move is to delete the tweet, deny it ever existed, and accuse all screenshots of being shopped by your enemies

>>24718919 (OP)
So pussy he backed down like this. Now he's groveling in front of Ted Cruz like a faggot

This whole episode brilliantly encapsulates just how far gone the leftists really are at this point. They are so ensconced in their echo chambers and so fuelled by hatred that they will parrot any silly rumour against their enemies as gospel. They are much more hateful than even the neo Nazis at this point.

I admire Stephen Kind for his creative genius, but he needs to shut the fuck up about politics. Leftists are going to end up causing another Spanish Civil War at this point, and it’s not going to end well for them.

>>24718936
>Stephen Kind
>creative genius
lol

What the fuck is he doing, groveling like this? This shit never works. Is it some kind of fetish thing?

>>24718958
He's approaching it from the mindset of wanting to make amends instead of being a calculating scoundrel like everyone else.

>>24718936
Gen z leftists, and Joe Biden/Stephen King leftists, are completely different

>>24718936

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>thinks anonymous image boards are social media
I knew that reply would generate some kind of contrarian response, but holy shit you’re retarded for not seeing a distinction between this site and twitter.

>>24718933
>an anonymous ephemeral esoteric imageboard no one cares about is the same as as the most popular social media site that has a searchable, indexed catalogue of all your past posts under an account with verified identity

>>24718975
>He's approaching it from the mindset of wanting to make amends
You understand nothing about harem politics. It's much more cynical than this. He's retreating to advance. He makes a half-assed apology, keeps insisting about it, and with that reframing suddenly it's not about what he said, but about people abusing him. You should watch more palace dramas.

Probably doesn't want to get sued by Kirk's family, but regardless he was 100% right. Charlie floating that passage in particular out there, on top of all of his other crypto-fascist rhetoric, was absolutely his way of saying "You're lucky we DON'T stone you, like we're SUPPOSED TO."
Same as him saying that slavery was "evil" and in the next breath saying "But things we're better back then :^)" If you can't read between the lines you're retarded.

Do these people not realize you can't say freak internet shit to normal people? These spheres are supposed to be distinct and many seem not to realize that.

>>24719055
why do you care about faggots so much?

Deport this fucker to Eswatini.

>>24718919 (OP)
Because he is a disgusting subhuman leftist who cheers on terrorism and is complicit in murder. Such abominable filth are better off dead.

What a fag. Never apologize. Always double down.

>>24718958
Conservatives are taking stock of every single person who made fun of Charlie Kirk's death, or contributed to his death, and are attempting to crucify them in the public square. I assume that this is the reason why he is apologizing.

>>24718936
By his own admission he writes mcslop. Like most shitlibs he's a shitlib because shitlibery was the ideology of power and held a social consensus. Because Elon bought twitter and Trump won conservaslop is now the ideology of power and holds an internet social consensus, and the wind falls out of his sails. What would have been a shitlib truth repeated ad nauseum 10-20 years ago (like that the Gabby Giffords shooter was inspired by Sarah Palin, or that Bush posed with a rubber turkey to the troops in Iraq) no longer has the smug confidence of power to sustain a social consensus of believed falsehood.

>>24719055
You underestimate the dopey saccharide naivete of how conservative Christians think.

he got bitch slapped so hard by Ted Cruz that he opened his app, clicked his post history, found a tweet and clicked delete lol

>>24718919 (OP)
Who does he think reads his novels? Columbia undergrads? God damn what a retard.

>>24719858
No one is crucifying anyone.
Lefties aren't going to revolt (retarded, why would you revolt when you control virtually every institution and have seen continuous improvement in your causes situation YoY) and rightoids have their sock puppet prez.

If someone is going to kick things off it will come from the right, and it'll require a liberal or left wing majority government in power firing on a protest or something similar after an event like this.

That's what you need to cook a happening.

>>24720062
Shitlibbery is also very geriatric at this point, like Stephen King himself. I do think the whole statistical truth about liberals failing to breed is actually bearing fruit, because for the first time in at least a hundred years, the progressive social liberals are significantly older. Just look at Breadtube, they're a bunch of sterile trannies and millennial no-eggs still going to fucking disney theme parks. Ben Shapiro has 4 kids, Matt Walsh has 6, even Charlie Kirk himself had two kids just born recently. Can we expect to see the hot mess that is Contrapoints to ever have children? Will Philosophy Troon?

Look at a pro-refugee protest in Britain or Germany, it's all fucking old white people and young browns. The average gammon at an anti-asylum hotel protest might be like 35, but the average libtard on the other side is like 50.

It's a precarious position to be in because shitlibbery has always relied on being cool, hip and self confident of itself as the way of the future. The talk of needing a liberal Joe Rogan is missing the actual implication, they're a bunch of old people.

>>24718919 (OP)
He probably just feels bad, OP. There's not much to it.

>>24718919 (OP)
when is he apologizing for the epstein list comment

>>24719042
>every forum and website where people talk is le social media!
zoomies should just die

>>24719055
checked and true

charlie kirk literally said that stoning gays was "god's perfect law", in response to being told "love thy neighbor"
how is that not advocating for stoning gays? King is just a geriatric pussy who folded at the smallest criticism

>>24719858
>I assume that this is the reason why he is apologizing.
He's been a raging psycho in that manner on Twitter for probably a solid decade. I don't think he's afraid of any blowback. Also, he's an effectively untouchable superstar.

He's not doing that out of fear, probably he feels sincerely apologetic.

>>24720327
The shooting of Kirk has been highly traumatic for innumerable people. King is probably feeling that and toned it down out of sympathy.

>>24718919 (OP)
he apologizes but isn't sorry
and then there is the exaggerated self-insult to make the situation seem absurd

that guy definitely has an ego problem

>>24720334
Nobody is crying for that kike lover but other kikes. The right just pretends to care to use it as a weapon against libs. See Golem in Cheaf for example, he doesn't care for Kirk

>>24720440
He’s an ex cokehead. The only thing worse than a junky is an ex junky. They dive super hard into something boring to cope. Witnesses, politics, antiques, whatever.

are you a normalfag or a pussy?

>>24718933
>>24719042
You are retarded. Do you not see the huge difference? It is a difference that makes all the difference. That being the SOCIAL aspect. "Mouthing off" on social media with your face and name attached for all your followers (including friends and family) to see is completely different to "mouthing off" on an anonymous image board. Are you really going to tell me theres no difference?

>>24720497
Cokeheads are not junkies. Junkies are addicted to opiates/oids primarily when the term was first used, Heroin. I was a junky, (on methadone now.) I have used Cocaine in the past, but I am not a cokehead and never was, and would be insulted to be associated with them. Stimulant addicts are the worst kind of addicts.

>>24719055
Absolutely braindead. This post is just your way of saying "kill, murder, destroy" and admitting that you're gay.

>>24720117
>No one is crucifying anyone.
You don't understand how angry conservatives are at the present moment.

Last I checked, they were using OSHA and going through banking systems to financially attack everybody they deemed supportive of Charlie's death. This was only 72 hours after his death.

>>24720705
>You don't understand how angry conservatives are at the present moment.
It's another faggy social media stim moment and you're here taking it seriously like a fucking moron. Holy shit /lit/ is a joke.
Go ahead and kill yourself any time, the same goes for everyone else of you retards who have or monitor social media. You're not even supposed to be on 4chan, yet for some reason you subhumans keep crawling here. You're LITERALLY the kind of trash we once wanted to keep out, at a time when 4chan had an actual identity, thinking that you're """better""" than some social media pundit while still obsessing about it. Just die, ten thousand times over preferably, you serve literally no purpose than to be a megaphone for the opinions of others.
Legitimately wondering what made animals like you even wanting to come here, because it's the epic nigger site? Absolutely kill yourself, you worthless shitstain.

You. Won't. Do. Nothing. :D

>>24720719
Nice meltdown faggot.

But no, rendering people unable to feed themselves is still a big deal, regardless of what your autism-pickled brain thinks about it.

>>24720705
People are predicting all sorts of escalation from this incident but I fail to see why it will last in the news cycle and in people’s minds for longer than other shooting-related tragedies.

>>24720705
I do understand how angry they are, that being said the powers that be still had enough pragmatism/intelligence to allow Trump to run and suffer through 4 years then be done with it (1st missed happening) and the shooter missed Trump ( 2nd missed happening).
Any prospective happenings are on hold until the federal government is back in left or liberal hands.

Who are they going to revolt against? Trump? Makes little sense. Most people who want jobs have jobs, most people who don’t want jobs and to live as parasites are able to do so. The conditions for a revolution vs memes/shitflinging do not exist.

He is a lying faggot bent over looking for good boy points and now that the social tide has turned he wants to go "oopsie daisy" and act like a reformed cunt? Fuck him. He wants forgiveness? He should stay off social media for however long he has been bottoming for the left and his publishers should put a hold on his media for the same amount of time.

Leftists are very sensitive to social status and I do think if right wing cancel culture picks up, it'll be very successful at smashing apart the left. Just look at the internal propaganda leftists produce and the way they talk about the far right. They deprecate rightoids as stupid, lower class and uneducated retards constantly. It's mostly a projection of their own insecurities. The second the threat of destroying their career and sending them tumbling down the social hierarchy gets dangled in front of their face, they'll dance to whatever tune they're told to.

There hasn't been a successful right wing cancel culture since the Nazi era, and boy was that successful. Bernard Russel lamented how fucking cowardly the university intellectuals were, and how they completely rolled over to the new order without a complaint. Even McCarthyism was an uphill battle for the right and they stood no chance. It was crucified as early as the 1960s with such texts as The Crucible, and he failed in his crusade. A shame, but we won't fail like last time.

If you're a leftist you really should be working a menial job and doing nothing else. Picking up trash, cleaning toilets, delivering food. We just can't have your worldview contaminating society anymore.

>>24720705
There will be no civil war.
The dems just threw the next round of elections is all.
Comnmies/antifa/troons etc also did massive optics damage but they have always been a nothingburger boogieman outside of imageboards/reddit so it's in every sense completely irrelevant.

>Comnmies/antifa/troons etc also did massive optics damage but they have always been a nothingburger boogieman outside of imageboards/reddit so it's in every sense completely irrelevant.

Why do you think this? These sorts of insane leftists are embedded all through government departments. There's literally thousands of them working for government institutions who have been catalogued celebrating Kirk's assassination and calling for more.

In my personal life I remember during the covid era, one of these types threatening her family about how she can easily find out which of them are unvaccinated and cut them off. She worked as in an administrative role in the hospital. These people literally brag about breaking the law.

Every so often one gets high on valium or whatever and makes a TikTok bragging about how they sabotage the careers of their political opponents. Like that notorious pic related "friendly HR advice" video.

There won't be a civil war, but there is an agreement on the right to absolutely destroy the livelihoods of these sorts of people, and to utilize lawfare to do it.

Moderate flare up which I don't support anyway. Stalinist speech policing is bad whether it's wielded for or against my pov and just puts more power as social arbiter in the hands of corpos. Now, corpos are better than making the problem 10x worse by letting a central government do that policing, but i still dont want to see corpos and stronger than they are in the realm of social policing.

>>24722213
> Stalinist speech policing is bad whether it's wielded for or against my pov and just puts more power as social arbiter in the hands of corpos.

Corporations absolutely despise the cancel culture shit and work around it. The reason they have such bloated HR and legal departments is because they're always navigating in that uncertain terrain. They prefer consistency they can plan around. The woke era of the late 10s and early 20s was very expensive for them as the ground was always shifting.

Big business prefers stability and light authoritarianism. Singapore and Pinochet's Chile are what they like. They like consistent dictates from the government about where the line is, so they can go right up to that point. What big business has at the moment are vague civil rights guidelines that are interpreted vaguely by political judges, so they just load up on HR and legal staff and signal constantly that they're doing their best. It's a massive waste of resources.

If anything corpos are desperate to dump the they/them Emilys. These people are a horrendously bad brand risk for them because they have no consistent legal means from preventing a girl-boss from moving up the ranks to absolutely tank their brand. The Bud-Light and Cracker Barrel fiasco were caused precisely because the people responsible knew they could pivot right away to a government or NGO job for the rest of their career.

>corpos are better than making the problem 10x worse by letting a central government do that policing, but i still dont want to see corpos and stronger than they are in the realm of social policing.

Let's be real, the only reason corpos are involved in debanking, DEI and sabotaging the careers of rightoids is because leftists like the plausible deniability. Corpos really don't give a shit, they don't give a shit in Communist China where they have to have CCP fanatics working alongside HR in the SOEs.

Oh, no, they're going to attack me with OSHA because I laughed when the internet funny man made a good joke that also proved the value of the second amendment. What's OSHA gomma do, fine my employer for failing to provide appropriate equipment for my job?

I mean, Kirkoids just spent two full days convincing themselves he got shot by some black trans Muslim immigrant anarchist only to shut up and delete everything as soon as it turned out to be another white guy. Fully calling for the utter decimation of the left and getting real fuckin quiet when it turned out to be some chronically online right-wing sperg.

>>24722765
Your remark not only didn't disagree with the post you're referencing, but it didn't even address what was being said. You just threw a tantrum about "Kirkoids", instead.

>>24722772
Your response only makes sense if you think Charlie Kirk was left-wing. My point was that whoever posted the "Kirk was good at showing how crazy the left was" only to immediately follow it up with a picture-perfect description of how right-wing echo chambers work was posting with zero self-awareness.
