Yes, I could see it was basically just plagiarising Goebbels but I didn't realise it was plagiarising one of his actual speeches so closely until someone pointed it out with a link.
It isn't the first time Stephen Miller has quoted Goebbels almost directly, i.e. with little in the way of paraphrase. The epithet Nazi is often mistakenly tossed around carelessly when referring to various people, but Miller is the genuine article. I regard him as a Christo-Fascist. He tells you exactly who and what he is every time he speaks.

That is actually his goal. He is, in effect, president right now. Trump is a deluded, demented old puppet under Miller's total sway. And Miller is the soulless, psychopathic spawn of Satan just pretending to be Christian. I've mentioned this previously.
This is manifestly incorrect—we know Robinson was strongly motivated to prevent Kirk from spreading any more hateful speech.
In his own words, "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out."
The only open question regarding motivation is whether the shooter was thinking about some specific hateful messages among the vast array of hateful messages broadcast by TPUSA. My hypothesis is that Robinson was particularly offended by homophobic and transphobic hate speech, since those hit closest to home.
At end of the service Kirk's widow raised her hand toward his picture with first and pinky fingers extended, middle and ring fingers folded down to the palm, like she was warding off the evil eye or doing the heavy metal 'devil horns' gesture to Dio or Black Sab. Is this a US Christian thing now? (Cultural Appropriation!!)
I didn't see it, but forefinger and pinky extended is also a Texan pride thing, Something about Longhorn steers. As smartcooky said, if the thumb was out too, that means I love you. Just the pinky and thumb is a Hawaiian shaka, which is also a good vibes sign.
The shaka has a cool little backstory. A friendly Hawaiian guy working at I think it was the Dole pineapple plantation used to always wave to everybody. Then he lost three fingers in an industrial machine accident, but kept waving at everyone with only the thumb and pinky left intact. Everyone liked the guy, so in the spirit of camaraderie, they waved back in the same way.

We still see old school Italian women doing that here once in a while too. The Beavis and Butthead types use it like you said, 'Devi Rock maaaaaaan!!!'
Hook 'em horns is a University of Texas thing, not a general Texan thing. If you see fans displaying that hand signal when a University of Texas team is playing a team from Texas A&M, Texas Tech, or Texas Christian, they're telling you which team they support.

The only time I remember it seeing done 'in the wild' was Lance Armstrong throwing it once in a while, and his explanation for it. I didn't think he went to college (IIRC), but maybe he was a UTex fan?

As an aside to the Free Speech discussion as it relates to the subject of this thread, those who choose to mock, sneer and laugh at the idea that free speech is under attack in the UK, need to take a look at this case...
A freelance journalist in Cornwall (Rebecca Tidy-Harris) reported on Twitter/X that a local ex-Policeman (Harry Tang) has been arrested for stalking and harassing someone, and was due to appear in Bodmin Magistrates Court in November. She also shared an article from the publication Plymouth LIVE, about the same case - None of her posts made anything up or included any speculation, or facts that were not in evidence - they are all established, checkable facts with public filings.
Finally, in a later post, she posted a photo of herself and her child on a beach in front of her sister's house. The ex-Policeman complained to Plymouth police that she was harassing him because he lives near that beach. The Plymouth Police called her and asked her to come into the station. When she asked what it was about, they refused to say, so she said no. They told her that unless she comes in for an interview, they would come to her house and arrest her.
See the video for the rest of the interview and story...
This is not an unusual case. It is daily a occurrence in the UK. Its no joke - hundreds of people are being threatened with arrest in the UK every day for things they have posted on social media - over 30 people actually are arrested for things they say on social media, though rarely are they ever charged.
Rebecca continues to be "under criminal investigation" for harassment in a case that the Police should never have taken seriously. It ought to have been dismissed by they at the first look. When people say the "Process is the punishment", this is the kind of insidious Police behaviour they are taking about.

Agreed, but our priors based on background data have to adjusted for new info. All the memes are either brainrot or (arguably) antifa-flavored, and copying Mangione on the method of messaging is definitely left-coded.
This is not. In order for any of this to be "antifa-flavored", evidence for antifa using the referenced memes would need to exist. I'm not aware that is does. And the use of "left-coded" here seems like a euphemism for "I'm tying to make this fit a narrative".
Indeed. There is little doubt that Miller is the puppet master pulling The Fat Orange Turd 's strings. He was/is behind...
- The EO banning Muslims from five countries travelling to the US.
- The caging of immigrants in concentration camps.
- The policy of seperating immigrant children from their families.
- The laws allowing individual states to block immigration.
- The deployment of National Guard troops to states to act as police.
- The setting of quotas for arresting and reporting undocumented immigrants.
- The EO which cancelled birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants.
Trump at Charlie Kirk’s Memorial: “Tariffs are making us rich again. Richer than anybody ever thought was possible. And the only one challenging them are people that hate our country or foreign countries that are paying a price.”
Trump referred to himself in the first person over 60 times in his speech. This is the kind of behavior that is entirely expected from Trump. It should not be normal for anyone, but it is normal for Trump. Trump also made it clear he hates his opponents.
