To be fair, Charlie was not just a podcaster. He had a far greater influence than his social media. I would not have had the flag lowered for him, and his passing would not have made news other than how he died. As for Service members, we recognize that the flag would be at half mast all year long if we were recognized in said manner. But our commitment to the Constitution goes beyond any need for recognition even when we pay the ultimate price. Our reward is in doing our duty.
Before he died i never heard his name mentioned except by people laughing at him and his schtick. I get the feeling it could have been any of them, including Candace Owens, and the same phenomena would've happened. He's worth more to them as a corpse than he was as an inspiration.
wasn't it weird how there was like 3 weeks where every loudmouth republican was calling for unfunded mandates to build statues of a racist piece of sht on every college campus in the states?
The proper protocol is to lower the flag to half mast during any ceremony, or to be "dipped" and then raised again. should not be flown half mast for a serviceman's death, particularly not on post/base. One of the main reasons is that the military cannot dwell on the death of a single - or even multiple soldiers. We have a mission to carry on.
If you include veterans suicide then certainly. About 6,400 every year. Considering they are 6% of the population and 20% suicides we know there are many service related suicides every day.
Yeah, I got all that. I was asking what the photo had to do with what's written on top of it. It just looks like someone's garage gym. What's that got to do with flags and Kirk and whatnot?
The longer they prop up his corpse to be a political martyr prop the more I think he was legitimately set up to be killed because he was the most influential pawn they could throw away for the most gain.
I find it interesting that they used a banner of Booker T...... For those who don't know, Booker T was a proponent of isolating the black and white communities so that black communities could financially prosper on their own. An interesting theory, with some string points, but one that ultimately didn't seek to end segregation, but preserve it. One glaring issue with his idea is that when Black communities would get successful, they would targeted and attacked by white supremacists.
Using a banner is the only way we can hang him anymore, the old fashioned way of hanging is frowned upon and besides way too late for him. On the dept of education though, yeah no thanks.
Dude! wtf is up with so much hate?! Yes its AI! but who the fuck cares?! its fun and it didn't steal any jobs from you. AI is not your biggest problem, not by a long shot
I mean, in Australia, it’s considered pretty weird for people to fly the nation’s flag outside of Australia Day, or major international sporting events. Since we don’t need a reminder that we are in fact, still in Australia.
Oh that’s easy, they make the flag their entire personality. The really extreme ones don’t even use the Australian flag, they go around with the Eureka Stockade flag, or the ensign of the Australian Merchant Marine, in some SovCit insanity where they think that magically immunises them from the law.
I don't feel safe in neighborhoods with lots of American flags... I feel perfectly safe in neighborhoods with Pride flags, though (and I'm a middle-age straight cis-gender white male from the South).
Old school? I remember the day but wasn't old enough to party. But I knew he was scamming us with that trickle down shit. After he took down the solar panels from the White House that President Carter put up. He was just an actor from small town Illinois. I grew up in small town Illinois too so I know the type.
And we'll keep fighting but also growing and expanding to include those disillusioned by his failures. And eventually we will reunite the majority of the nation into a common vision again. And we will continue to fight and build to keep it that way. We will fail along the way. We will fall. We will slide back.
But we will get back up. We will succeed. And we will reach so much further for the benefit of all people.
Our rental has a flagpole in front, but the plastic ball on top broke. Then the top pulley broke. A house down the street has a much taller flagpole, so I've planned on purchasing another flagpole the same width and combining the sections.

Kirk was many things but he wasn't a war criminal like the guys bombing Iran

Of course they don't lower the flag to half mast when it's not N@z1s who died for their country The Turd Reich.

Dunno if Newsom ordered flags at half mast but I see all the flags being flown around here being at half mast.

How often did it fly at half staff for soldiers during Afghanistan? Or any of the other "not wars" we've been in in the past 20 or so years?

It would be at half staff every day

Regular people will do it and show acknowledgement. The US government? "Fuck no"

Am I missing something? Is the photo related to the text in some way?

We will lower the flag for Kirk turn but not soldiers.
People who didn’t bow before the golden gals of Kirk were being doxxed and having their jobs called.
Now my job is going to get a call because I didn’t praise Kirk today.
whereismymind86
you uh...didn't upload the photo you think you did man, there is no flag anywhere in that photo.

Yeah my bad I misunderstood. It’s just a screen grab from someone’s Tiktok or Instagram or whatever

Doesn't really answer the question. I don't understand how the picture is related to the post either.

The SC governor ordered flags to half mast a few days ago to honor the Reverend Jesse Jackson and his service.
It should have never been lowered for charlie kirk.

In fact it should've been put even higher. Double mast, cause it means the country is better now that he's gone.
