... Let's just say we've hit a TURNING POINT. 😂
Before successful grifter Charlie Kirk got his ass slumped by a white mass shooter in front of thousands, he was fittingly deflecting the crimes of white mass shooters while attempting to play up the crimes of those outside of his paying constituency. Typical. But the world isn't going for this bullshit any more.
Let's contextualize definitions so the grammar Nazis don't deflect from the point, saying the shooter shot only one person, so he's not a mass shooter. Here's the definition from the Rockefeller Institute of Government:
A mass shooting is an incident of targeted violence carried out by one or more shooters at one or more public or populated locations. Multiple victims (both injuries and fatalities) are associated with the attack, and both the victims and location(s) are chosen either at random or for their symbolic value. The event occurs within a single 24-hour period, though most attacks typically last only a few minutes. The motivation of the shooting must not correlate with gang violence or targeted militant or terroristic activity.
This definition doesn't say anything about shooting more than one person. Moreover, this godly ironic murder most definitely caused traumatic mental injuries (hopefully some philosophical fatalities) to tens of thousands of extremist conservatives, especially those who fully took in the irony of Charlie's last words and the timing of the shot. I don't see how anyone can take in all of that information and remain, without near-fatal cognitive dissonance, a compatriot of the bullshit he made millions spewing anywhere he could.
The facts — A transcript of Charlie Kirk's last conversation on this earth:
Audience member: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”
Millionaire racist grifter: “Too many,”
Audience member: "[Five.] Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
Dead man sitting: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
POP.
For those on the slow bus:
Kirk was attempting to play up the shootings from trans people, although their numbers are far lower than white mass shooters. Then when asked about white mass shooters, he attempted to play up shootings from non-whites, because he assumed that number is higher than those killed from white mass shooters. Then he was shot. By a white mass shooter.
This is God's timing. You couldn't have played this out better with WWE scriptwriters and Mark Burnett producing (Trump's "shooting"). Yeah, the Trump shooting was fake. You can tell the difference. If you can't, go watch Kirk's death then watch that dumb shit from the Trump rally. There is no mistaking a real death — even kids can tell the difference immediately. Stop fooling yourself.
This is a crypto blog, so what does this have to do with crypto? And I've been gone so long; why did this prompt me to come back and write this? Because it was really that profound to me. How ironic is it that America's constituency is turning on itself, eating itself, because its rhetoric has become so toxic that it can only kill itself? The same is true of American monetary policy.
The next 10-30 years will be a major turning point in dollar hegemony. Buffett's "always bet on America" bullshit is about to get turned on its head. If you want the next 100X, you'll be investing in things that include money flows and industries outside of the US. And this is good. Really good. America is on a downtrend, and emerging markets are eagerly taking its place. Extremist lies for the sake of entertainment don't rule the day any more. In the same way, global monetary policy enforced through a singular force is destined to become a thing of the past.
As a nomad, I see the effects of America's nefarious toxicity worldwide. More importantly, I view how people are actively moving from hatred of America to apathy because viable alternatives are showing themselves with more and more frequency. Crypto is a big part of this — flows of value that don't have to go through the dollar to become viable.
The "turning point" won't occur tomorrow. But it is occurring in real time. Make sure you're on the right side of history.
