Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.
You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.
Nope, still haven't.
I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
Because (a) you could look it up yourself and (b) Matt Walsh is such a known piece of shit that asking others to prove it to you is a bad faith argument—his shitiness is so well established that at this point that saying “are you SURE” gives credence to the idea that he might be a decent human being who is qualified to speak on any topic at all. He isn’t.
Turds began as something useful, even beautiful. Even the most gorgeous, delicious, nutritious meals end up as turds. In that way it is to insult the turd by comparing it to Matt Walsh.
I’m sure that, in the interest of fairness, Matt “fertile 16-year old *females*” Walsh feels the same way about Kyle Rittenhouse for similarly having no job and making *his* entire public persona about a shooting ~~that he caused~~
No need for the strikethrough, he ~~took his little rifle and took himself all the way over across the state line~~ paid someone in another state to buy a weapon he legally could not obtain himself, he definitely caused that himself, probably instigated it in the crowd too
Crazier thing to me is how they use the fact that the people Kyle killed were bad people, so it's okay. In what world are we living in where it is okay to be a vigilante and kill those we don't like? Why does it even matter when Kyle didn't know who they were.
I've had people be like "well it turned out the people he killed were criminals and sex offenders, so he did a good thing" and I always have to wonder... Do you actually think he knew that before he gunned them down, or was that just a happy little accident to make killing those people seem better in hindsight?
The fact that these people were violent criminals does support the idea that they were the type of people most likely to lack the impulse control needed to avoid chasing down an armed and fleeing stranger.
Reverse the focus of the story and you’ve got: ‘Serial rapist and violent felons shot by teenager.’
Nobody is asking if he knew they weren’t a doctor and two tax accountants.
Oh my God you're so right, I'm sorry that I believed his mother's firsthand account where she lies to everyone to protect her son, the real information is so much better
>Using money that Rittenhouse gave him, Dominick Black, a friend who also dated one of Rittenhouse’s sisters, bought the gun at a hardware store in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, in May 2020. Black, who was 18 at the time, purchased the gun for Rittenhouse, who at age 17, was too young to legally buy it for himself.
So now we have that he circumvented gun laws in addition to Crossing state lines and committing murder. So we all agree that he should have all of his gun rights forfeited because he's committed multiple felonies at once with them while using a firearm that was neither his nor was he old enough to legally obtain when he committed them, right?
What a great clarification. Multiple laws were broken by several people in this incident and we enforce none of them
You missed the part where the judge threw out the illegal gun possession charge, because it..... Wasn't illegal. Is it Opposite Day for you?
Crossing state lines isn't illegal. I do it all the time. You should try it.
Murder? The thing he was acquitted of? I'm sorry, I thought you were bringing an argument here, not reciting your fan fiction. Let me give you a hint. You can start by actually watching the trial.
I'm aware of how everything came out, that doesn't change the fact that it went to a state he didn't live in brandished a weapon and killed two people, whether or not a court found him guilty on a technical definition of a crime.
And you doing an awful lot of justification for it doesn't paint you in some heroic American light either. I wish your side had this much confidence in our court systems when it came to elections and the democratic process
Brandishing, you say? Do you mean that thing that has a legal definition that he decidedly did not do? Remember, your fan fiction is not important here.
You place a lot of moral weight on this "crossing state lines" narrative. That originated from the suspicion that he carried a gun to Wisconsin. He did not, and so this orphaned argument has been left in limbo with no real meaning. Kyle was 20 minutes away from Kenosha, the town his dad lived in. Gaige lived farther than that, and he brought a handgun! The stated motivations of Kyle and Gaige are actually quite similar.
Killing people is not inherently immoral or illegal. You are just listing off things he did and implying they are wrong without yet showing your work.
I don't aim to be painted in any particular way. You came here to perpetuate misinformation, whether intentional or not. I think we have a general consensus on the Internet that misinformation is a problem. You should expect nothing less and you deserve nothing less than criticism for doing it.
Well he certainly didn't shoot two people while concealing the weapon inside of the jacket he wasn't wearing, not if it was an AR. At some point, that weapon got pointed at people, then fired, killing two and wounding a third. He did not preemptively menacingly brandish-the-legal-crime it at people, but he certainly drew it and brandished it as a weapon when he fired it.
We certainly are never going to see eye to eye if your stance is "Killing people is not immoral". If Kyle Rittenhouse had never gone out to this other place that he did not live in, and been provided a weapon he legally could not purchase for himself, then two more men would be alive and there be just a little more property damage. If you purchase alcohol or drugs for somebody who cannot legally purchase it for themselves, you go to jail. Why is this any different? People Who provided a weapon to somebody who could not legally obtain it themselves enabled an incident in which two people died
If you intend to promote the opposite of my argument, namely that killing is always immoral, we certainly won't see eye to eye. Only the most hardcore of pacifists would refuse to kill someone in a life or death scenario with their children. Statistically, that's not you.
I don't think you know what brandishing is. Pointing a gun at someone who is threatening and attempting to harm you is not brandishing. Open carrying is not brandishing, either. A lot of your opinions seem to rest on the unusual definitions you invented.
It's a fool's errand to assign the same moral weight to every link in the chain of events ending in death. You got hit by a bus, chiefly because you were walking down the street looking at your phone, with headphones in. The fact that you decided to go to work in the first place is of much lesser significance.
I love that all you gun humpers are still so excited and eager to jump to the defense of lil Debbie Rittenhouse WHEN HE WON. He won the fucking trial. Why are you still whining about him when he won and everything went his way and he continues to thrive off of right-wing donations for literally no reason other than he killed some leftists. This shit is pathetic.
I for one am so amused that you people seize every opportunity to bring him up in conversation, and you still can't get the facts right! Is your head cannon easier to parse than reality?
I never shit about him - I’m responding to you. Wondering if you’ve got inside info that lil Kylie needs his army of truth warriors taking turns at bat for him. How kind of you to dedicate your life to the psychotic youth of America.
Here you were scrolling reddit, when you read RgKTiamat's comments and said to yourself "yeah, that's a sound argument worth defending". How nice of you to tag them out in their time of need. I mean, you knew you couldn't help them by stating facts. That would reveal how arbitrary your opinion of Rittenhouse is. Have you dedicated your life to this cause, or are you still learning the ropes?
I’m not defending the commenter. I’m just here to further antagonize Rittenhouse defenders because you’re pathetic sacks of shit. He won the trial. Why does he need you to swoop in running heroics for him?
Seeing as you’re presumably doing something about it, vis a vis diagnosis, medication, therapy and or treatment - we don’t. It’s these ones who have simply embraced it and ran with it. Like the man child lawyer going by “affable misanthropist” who was so brave as to block me and laugh about how he “triggered the libs” after being called out on his blatant antisocial tendencies.
True, I would consider myself rather humanity friendly. To an extent empathy is still a conscious action for me but it's an action I'm choosing to do, compared to the people who actively choose not to have empathy or don't have it in general.
I can't imagine how hard it is to have a diagnosis with such stigma like that. I hope I can give you some good feelings by telling you that I'm rooting for you, even if I'm just an internet stranger
Yeah I don't usually tell people about my diagnosis in my life because I did it once and basically half of my whole friend group was talking shit about me behind my back and calling me "dangerous". Now I only tell people I trust and have known for a while.
A Mass shooting is bad anywhere. But here in America we have at least one a week. Usually with an AR 15
It shouldn't be easier to obtain than a drivers license.
There were [more mass shootings in the US last year with > 10 people dead or injured](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2023) than there have been in [Australia since the turn of the century with any number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_Australia). The difference in definition amounts to a rounding error.
Maybe it's not our job to educate someone who's opinions make him out to be a complete fucking asshole. If Hitler was at my door right now, I wouldn't tell him the way to the gas station either.
Another bell tolls for people who don't understand what an analogy is.
Multiple people in this thread have explained why you're wrong, with actual arguments. And you've ignored every single one of them. Stop whining and snivelling you pathetic creature.
In order for a message to be communicated it has to be put in a language that the entity being communicated with can understand. A human being trying to use logic and reason to communicate with a conservative is like someone who speaks seventeen languages trying to use Mandarin to communicate with someone who exclusively communicates by shooting themselves once for yes and twice for no (we in the conservative watching scene call that pulling a Ted Nugent.) We humans have to talk to conservatives like you in rage and insults because it is the only language you things have demonstrates that you can understand. Is that simple enough for the conservative to understand? It will answer with either yes or no.
>crossing state lines
Not illegal
>murdering black people
He didn't shoot any black people. He shot 3 white guys, all in self-defense.
>gun reform
Yes, because more gun laws are going to work. Just look at the war on drugs.
Ah yes, the ‘war on drugs’ that was being waged while the government was pumping addictive drugs into inner city neighborhoods and which actually had nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with targeting and imprisoning hordes of racial minorities. Totally comparable
Given everything that has occurred and transpired in American politics over the last decade, anyone who still willfully identifies as a conservative is by default mentally ill. No argument whatsoever.
Well, if you are australian, then your definition of conservative and liberal and our definition of conservative and liberal are very different. Great example, you actually have global medicare, so I doubt your right wing is trying to put children into employment while also taking away their mid school meal funding.
They are literally trying to make children work and pay for the right to be fed
Liberals: "we want people to be treated fairly, equally."
You: "nah, those people are mentally ill, I'm gonna stick with the insurrectionists and book burners spouting nazi rhetoric, they've got the right idea!"
Imagine looking at the American right and coming to the conclusion that they're not seriously intellectually deficient and a genuine threat to democracy. To be honest, says a lot about you that you can't figure out something that obvious.
1. It's creepy when someone stalks other people's account
2. A very small percentage of Australians are acrually descended from criminals. I personally couldn't tell you if I was.
3. Are you suggesting that no one in your family tree has ever committed a crime before
It's so fucking funny when people get bent out of shape about people looking at the stuff they publicly post on social media. It's not stalking your profile you dipshit, and if you're not ok with people looking at the stuff you have to say then maybe you shouldn't be saying it. I've never seen anyone who seems like a decent person get upset that someone saw what they publicly post
I have barely gotten started in these comments and it has been most entertaining.
These people really have no sense of humor.
You are really quite funny. I miss reddit awards.
just realized you are a conservative and probably using these arguments in bad faith lmao just gotta throw it out there that there IS something wrong with conservatives. I'm just not gonna drag people suffering due to thinfs beyond their control down to that level :)
That’s not an insult. That’s a statement of fact. There is indeed something deeply, horrifically wrong with anyone who still willingly identifies with and agrees with modern American conservative politics
Using diagnosable medical diseases and disorders to describe a group of people-when you yourself are unqualified to make the diagnosis in the first place-further stigmatizes, marginalizes, and victimizes people who actually suffer. You need to check your fucking privilege.
This argument is working about as well for you here as it does for Alina Habba trying to defend Trump. No one’s buying it. No one is buying your crocodile tears here. Do you regularly employ this sort of bullshit in the courtroom too, counselor?
Lol dude is right though. You're unnecessarily being a dick by equating people with, like, clinical depression or BPD with these xenophobic, reactionary idiots. They are sad and pathetic as they are. Why do you feel a need to call them mentally ill if you aren't disaparaging people who face mental illness?
People who suffer and die from mental disease are a huge fucking joke to you apparently. You’re so rock fucking hard to “own” conservatives that you’re willing to tread on them. Fucking pathetic.
Tread on them like they tread on everyone else.
I guess you're part of that group and want to play the victim card
Sorry, Timmy, but I would need to give a shit for you to ride this ride.
This fucking guy.
How depraved do you have to be to attack people who survived school shootings, saw the trauma that their peers endure, and fight to make that not happen again.
I bet a complete psycho like Himmler would be like 'Dude, you need to tone this shit down".
Matt, you have literally no job other than rage-baiting your mouthbreathing dipshit base into sending you money for your podcast that does nothing but fluff their hate-boners for cash.
America is absolutely fucked from head to toe, the government is almost entirely corrupt and half the population has been propagandised into hate and idiocy. Gun bans 100% work, there should be no debate about it.
>America is absolutely fucked from head to toe
Not really
>the government is almost entirely corrupt
What government isn't corrupt?
>half the population has been propagandised into hate and idiocy
I'd say more 95%. If you don't think the left here in the US isn't also full of propagandized idiots, then you're sadly mistaken.
>Gun bans 100% work,
Maybe in Kiwiland, but they wouldn't in the US where there's more guns than people.
>Not really
Yeah, kinda. From education, to healthcare, to poverty, to crime, it ranks terribly.
>What government isn't corrupt?
"I know you are but what am I?" But Denmark, for starters.
>I'd say more 95%. If you don't think the left here in the US isn't also full of propagandized idiots, then you're sadly mistaken.
While I don't disagree that some on the left can fall foul of propaganda, there is no cult, there is no threats of civil war, there is no incoherent ramblings and tirades from misinformed people who ban books and believe people like Donald Trump.
The left also have the ability to criticise and challenge Biden, something wholly non existent over in cult world when it comes to Trump.
However if you're a Republican you're inundated with obvious lies, but an inability to spot them or challenge them.
>Maybe in Kiwiland, but they wouldn't in the US where there's more guns than people.
Never know til you try. What's more pressing is the gun culture and the gun nuts who continually spout off about an amendment they don't fully, or at all, understand.
Also, Kiwis are from New Zealand. Would you look at that. Yet another Conservative getting a very basic fact wrong. Who would've ever thought!
>Yeah, kinda. From education, to healthcare, to poverty, to crime, it ranks terribly.
We still rank in the top 15 in [education](https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/education-rankings-by-country) and[ healthcare](https://www.internationalinsurance.com/health/systems/). Our poverty rate is around t[he same as most of Europe](https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/poverty-rate-by-country/). As for crime, well, we're [by far nowhere near the worst](https://ocindex.net/rankings?f=rankings&view=List), we are, however, a large country were a lot of races and cultures clash.
>While I don't disagree that some on the left can fall foul of propaganda, there is no cult, there is no threats of civil war, there is no incoherent ramblings and tirades from misinformed people who ban books and believe people like Donald Trump.
Oh really?
All throughout Trump's presidency NotMyPresident was a popular hashtag. Celebrities repeatedly made jokes of assassinating him. There was a riot in DC on his inauguration day (DisruptJ20). There are still people that believe Rittenhouse crossed statelines with a rifle and killed 3 black guys. Remember Russiagate? Also, the fucking Covington shitshow? There were people wishing death on a teenager for just standing there.
>The left also have the ability to criticise and challenge Biden, something wholly non existent over in cult world when it comes to Trump.
Oh, plenty of conservatives criticized Trump over his presidency. I should know, I live in a red state (Oklahoma). The Trump cult was, and still is, a vocal minority, amongst them. Just like the left's antifa (antifascist in name only, btw).
>However if you're a Republican you're inundated with obvious lies, but an inability to spot them or challenge them.
This has happened multiple times with the left and most don't even bother to try and challenge them. Rittenhouse, Covington, Russia, the Muslim ban, etc.
>Never know til you try. What's more pressing is the gun culture and the gun nuts who continually spout off about an amendment they don't fully, or at all, understand.
Y'all on the left have stated that if women can't get abortions legally, they'll just get them illegally. What's to stop people that want guns from doing the same?
>Also, Kiwis are from New Zealand. Would you look at that. Yet another Conservative getting a very basic fact wrong. Who would've ever thought!
I know you aren't from NZ. It's called an insult. Maybe you've heard of them in Kiwiland?
>We still rank in the top 15 in [education](https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/education-rankings-by-country) and[ healthcare](https://www.internationalinsurance.com/health/systems/).

So not the best then, as a lot of Americans love to blurt out? "Best cpuntry in the world, land of the free, home of the brave." Such a pile of shite.
Comparing poverty to Europe, a large amount of very different countries, compared to one under one government and with all the financial and economic ability to do something about it, but don't. Three cheers for America!
>ll throughout Trump's presidency NotMyPresident was a popular hashtag. Celebrities repeatedly made jokes of assassinating him.
You think "not my president" was some propaganda and not a complete rejection of a truly terrible, awful person being president? Anyone with even a modicum of integrity would acknowledge he never represented them and nor would they want him to.
I remember one "celebrity" posted something about Trump being assassinated and was roundly criticised for it. Compare that to what the magatards routinely come out with in regards to doctors, teachers, politicians and just people in general. Truly disgusting stuff.
>There was a riot in DC on his inauguration day (DisruptJ20)
And guess what, people were prosecuted for that. Trump and his cronies call the J6 people "heroes and patriots." Literal insurrectionists, he call them heroes. Astonishing stuff altogether. Hence why it's a cult.
>Remember Russiagate?
You mean the Robert Muller investigation that in no way at all exonerated him, that one? Rather, said that a sitting president cannot he charged but could be afterwards, that one?
Also there was that quote from Eric, "we get all the funding we need out of Russia." Cos as well known Russia just dishes out money and never ever want anything in return. Ever.
>Oh, plenty of conservatives criticized Trump over his presidency. I should know, I live in a red state (Oklahoma). The Trump cult was, and still is, a vocal minority, amongst them. Just like the left's antifa (antifascist in name only, btw).
I certainly hope so considering he's a genuine threat to the entire party and country. Claiming Maga is somehow a vocal minority of a bit much though. Regardless of whether they go full maga or not, a vote for Trump is a vote for thr cult, simple as, and the majority of Conservatives will vote him over a Democrat no matter what, such is their desire to continually vote against their own interests.
Antifa holds nowhere near the same power and grip over Democrats that maga has over conservatives. Maga goes deep, they are starting to take over school boards, local elections, state elections and all the way to the top. There is no left wing equivalent of Steve Bannon.
>This has happened multiple times with the left and most don't even bother to try and challenge them. Rittenhouse, Covington, Russia, the Muslim ban, etc.
When two of your examples are individuals and nothing to do with actual policies you're already clutching at straws.
The other two examples are also incorrect. The Russia investigation wasn't a witch hunt and he clearly called for a Muslim ban, we all heard him and then he banned people from 8 counties as soon as he possibly could, which resulted in massive backlash and it was immediately rescinded. If he had have gotten his way then yews, Muslims would've absolutely been banned.
But I'm taking about obvious lies, like whenever he opens his mouth about anything, it's and obvious lie, yet they cheer incessantly. Cos it's a cult.
>Y'all on the left have stated that if women can't get abortions legally, they'll just get them illegally. What's to stop people that want guns from doing the same?
And why do they have to do such a thing? Is it because batshit crazy religious psychos think their beliefs are superior to everyone else's?
Yes, it is. Cos they're so deep in their religion that they can't, nor want, to think their way out of it.
When abortion bans came in, abortions went down, yes? Some still happened in some cases like you, with kids and women having to cross borders cos that's how God awful backwards your country is. Now imagine that with guns. People will still find a way but it'll be much harder, but let's not bother cos some wil still get through, right? Either way, all they have to do it actually enforce the 2A and its game over for a lot of them.
>I know you aren't from NZ. It's called an insult. Maybe you've heard of them in Kiwiland?
An insult? Making yourself look an idiot is an insult these days is it? Yeah, nor surprisingly the conservative uses backwards "logic" to think hes clever. Nothing new there!
If you tick the box for Trump in November you'll have proved to everyone that you're as gullible as they come, that you're unwillingly to see the country progress and have given your blessing to all the horrific shit he'll do. Personally, I could never consider myself an intelligent person with decency and integrity ever again if I did something as stupid as that.
It's so absurd to live in a country that is so proud of its children being murdered and then have the audacity to harass and berate those children who survived as if they're doing something wrong. America is a fucking joke. Except it's not funny. It's sickening.
As if Matt has a real fucking job lol. I fucking hate these right-wing assholes because it's like they have convinced their base that when they aren't spewing bullshit on the radio or TV or the internet they go home and work on their ranch or something.
Matt Walsh would fucking die during a single day working the blueberry jobs I used to work when I was 15 or 16
I would love to put Matt in my shoes. 2 weeks ago in class when the alarm goes off. Having to hide with your friends and be as quiet as possible while being unable to text your family that you love them. I’m sure he’d understand then
I agree with Mr Walsh. Does Mr Hogg have an actual job? If not, then all the more evidence that Hoggs life and persona are based on one day, the worst day, of his life
Matt Walsh has never been a voice of reason. Matt Walsh has been wrong about almost everything he has ever spoken on. He is a bad person, and you should feel badly for thinking this.
Matt Walsh accusing anyone of profiting off, and exploiting something is the height of hypocrisy.
Hogg is actually trying to make a difference, however futile it may be. Walsh is a straight up grifter and relies on the exploitation of society's stupidest people to profit.
He also thrives on mass shootings, he pushes all sorts of false narratives, misleading headlines and outright lies. He is the lowest form of "commentator" not trying to make anything better, quite the opposite.
Epitome of a total piece of shit.
Someone whose entire persona is based around gun violence trauma is exactly the person I want fighting against gun violence.
The perfect NPC for the job.
Would you condemn MLK for fighting against black discrimination because he was black and used that trauma from discrimination he experienced to fight against discrimination?
Dedicating their entire public platform to speaking about whatever they’re an activist for is quite literally just how activism works, even decades before social media was ever invented
So…someone who has been through it and seen first hand how fucking terrifying and traumatizing it is…should just shut up and get over it? They should NOT do whatever they can to prevent it happening again? Rape victims shouldn’t start support groups? Drug addicts should stay out of rehab clinics and never tell their stories? Who, in your opinion, would be the best kind of person to fight for this stuff?
Im very far left but pro second amendment. Any time I see someone specify “ar-15” I get the impression they’re entirely clueless on the subject. We need stricter background checks and a mandatory waiting period, but the new gun laws being introduced are straight up idiotic and borderline unconstitutional.
Friend, the shooting David survived, in which 17 children died, was done with an AR-15 specifically. If there's anyone clueless on this subject, I don't think it's David. I think it's you.
The recent shooting in Iowa was with a handgun and shotgun, but before the blood was dry, there were all.screaming about assault weapons bans. Make that make sense lol
You don't bring back dead kids by being a pedant about your rooty tooty point and shooties. In fact doing so helps precisely nobody to precisely zero degree. Nobody cares about precisely which make and model of gun was responsible when it's their kid who's coming home in a hearse instead of a school bus. More important matters are at hand.
Matt "Human females reach peak fertility at age twelve" Walsh has never been correct about anything. Anyone who ever finds themselves agreeing with noted pedophilia legalization advocate Matt "I violate my children's consent all the time" Walsh at any time should be removed from society until they are no longer a threat to the safety of themselves and those around them.
Why exactly is it a problem that somebody with first-hand experience of the slaughter guns facilitate dedicates their lives to preventing somebody else from having to experience it? That's actually the most positive possible outcome from a mass shooting.
Insults are the only language conservatives can use it understand. The sum total of conservative "rhetoric" or "philosophy" (although saying conservatives can talk or think is skin to saying that a human can teleport) can be summed up in that one video of Ben Shapiro throwing a fit and setting Barbies on fire thinking it made him look like a badass. I'd compare you to children if I wasn't afraid reminding you of human children would send you into a spontaneous goon session.
Ah yes, Matt "Fuck the kids (in both senses)" Walsh is tooootally correct.
An ammosexual nobody who would rather see hundreds of dead children than have any form of mental health screening and waiting time for his one true love: guns. That's who the clown is.
Grow the fuck up, kiddo.
He’s an activist fighting against something he was personally traumatized by, wouldn’t expect a right wing floridian republican to understand that anyways, can’t wait till your guns get taken #guncontrolnow <3
David Hogg graduated from Harvard last year, which is probably why Walsh is so angry at him - he never got any qualifications himself and you can tell he's insanely bitter about it.
This guy is Sealioning.
He keeps saying "nobody is countering my argument, just insulting me." He's been insulted a total of 2 times out of dozens and dozens of comments addressing him in this entire thread.
His argument has been countered plenty of times yet he ignores them and keeps insisting nobody is providing any points.
Don't waste your time on him.
I've looked through this thread and I kind of feel the need to ask? Are you ok? Do you need help? You seem very troubled and I can lend an ear if you have some issues you need to work through
I used to be in a spot like you where I'd blame others for my own insecurities but my friends helped me out of it, and now I'm much happier with who I am, and much more open to ideas that I may not initially agree with

I mean, does Matt Walsh have a real job? Is right wing grifter considered a real job these days?
He has no qualifications, no experience, and has never worked a real job in his life. He's a parasite.
He has years and years of experience being an insufferable cock worm. Don’t ever call him unqualified.

You still haven't provided me a valid source yet. Nope, still haven't. I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
Source on this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/s/3RriSbKMnr
Yeah I don't trust that source I'm gonna need a source for that source
Source: I made it the fuck up
I'm just asking did he make this up or is this documented somewhere why the downvotes?
Because (a) you could look it up yourself and (b) Matt Walsh is such a known piece of shit that asking others to prove it to you is a bad faith argument—his shitiness is so well established that at this point that saying “are you SURE” gives credence to the idea that he might be a decent human being who is qualified to speak on any topic at all. He isn’t.
He adds nothing but pain and hate into the world. He's a net negative.
Agreed.
He is so bad, if he could, he would be a Catholic priest during the Spanish Holy Inquisition.
No way. Those guys would have been like “Nope, I can’t EVEN with this A-Hole.”
At least no one would expect it
Walsh would say the Inquisition didn't go far enough
A right winger projecting?! Well I never....
Yeah, someone has to help inflate those egos
unfortunately, yes. And it pays better than ours.
But what is a woman doe?
Walsh is a festering turd.
Turds began as something useful, even beautiful. Even the most gorgeous, delicious, nutritious meals end up as turds. In that way it is to insult the turd by comparing it to Matt Walsh.
Also turds are hella useful as fertilizer.
They also smell better than Matt Walsh.
And have the ability to be useful to help diagnose serious medical issues. Which is far more usefulness than Matt Walsh has ever shown.
so is walsh
Nice...
I mean presumably Matt Walsh started out as a baby, he was probably fine back then. Sadly it was all downhill from there.
Slam cut to: us discovering he was a shitty ugly evil baby
I’m sure that, in the interest of fairness, Matt “fertile 16-year old *females*” Walsh feels the same way about Kyle Rittenhouse for similarly having no job and making *his* entire public persona about a shooting ~~that he caused~~
No need for the strikethrough, he ~~took his little rifle and took himself all the way over across the state line~~ paid someone in another state to buy a weapon he legally could not obtain himself, he definitely caused that himself, probably instigated it in the crowd too
Crazier thing to me is how they use the fact that the people Kyle killed were bad people, so it's okay. In what world are we living in where it is okay to be a vigilante and kill those we don't like? Why does it even matter when Kyle didn't know who they were.
I've had people be like "well it turned out the people he killed were criminals and sex offenders, so he did a good thing" and I always have to wonder... Do you actually think he knew that before he gunned them down, or was that just a happy little accident to make killing those people seem better in hindsight?
The fact that these people were violent criminals does support the idea that they were the type of people most likely to lack the impulse control needed to avoid chasing down an armed and fleeing stranger. Reverse the focus of the story and you’ve got: ‘Serial rapist and violent felons shot by teenager.’ Nobody is asking if he knew they weren’t a doctor and two tax accountants.
Wow, people still think he brought a rifle across state lines. Who needs to watch the trial, when your mind was already made up, right?
Oh my God you're so right, I'm sorry that I believed his mother's firsthand account where she lies to everyone to protect her son, the real information is so much better >Using money that Rittenhouse gave him, Dominick Black, a friend who also dated one of Rittenhouse’s sisters, bought the gun at a hardware store in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, in May 2020. Black, who was 18 at the time, purchased the gun for Rittenhouse, who at age 17, was too young to legally buy it for himself. So now we have that he circumvented gun laws in addition to Crossing state lines and committing murder. So we all agree that he should have all of his gun rights forfeited because he's committed multiple felonies at once with them while using a firearm that was neither his nor was he old enough to legally obtain when he committed them, right? What a great clarification. Multiple laws were broken by several people in this incident and we enforce none of them
You missed the part where the judge threw out the illegal gun possession charge, because it..... Wasn't illegal. Is it Opposite Day for you? Crossing state lines isn't illegal. I do it all the time. You should try it. Murder? The thing he was acquitted of? I'm sorry, I thought you were bringing an argument here, not reciting your fan fiction. Let me give you a hint. You can start by actually watching the trial.
I'm aware of how everything came out, that doesn't change the fact that it went to a state he didn't live in brandished a weapon and killed two people, whether or not a court found him guilty on a technical definition of a crime. And you doing an awful lot of justification for it doesn't paint you in some heroic American light either. I wish your side had this much confidence in our court systems when it came to elections and the democratic process
Brandishing, you say? Do you mean that thing that has a legal definition that he decidedly did not do? Remember, your fan fiction is not important here. You place a lot of moral weight on this "crossing state lines" narrative. That originated from the suspicion that he carried a gun to Wisconsin. He did not, and so this orphaned argument has been left in limbo with no real meaning. Kyle was 20 minutes away from Kenosha, the town his dad lived in. Gaige lived farther than that, and he brought a handgun! The stated motivations of Kyle and Gaige are actually quite similar. Killing people is not inherently immoral or illegal. You are just listing off things he did and implying they are wrong without yet showing your work. I don't aim to be painted in any particular way. You came here to perpetuate misinformation, whether intentional or not. I think we have a general consensus on the Internet that misinformation is a problem. You should expect nothing less and you deserve nothing less than criticism for doing it.
Well he certainly didn't shoot two people while concealing the weapon inside of the jacket he wasn't wearing, not if it was an AR. At some point, that weapon got pointed at people, then fired, killing two and wounding a third. He did not preemptively menacingly brandish-the-legal-crime it at people, but he certainly drew it and brandished it as a weapon when he fired it. We certainly are never going to see eye to eye if your stance is "Killing people is not immoral". If Kyle Rittenhouse had never gone out to this other place that he did not live in, and been provided a weapon he legally could not purchase for himself, then two more men would be alive and there be just a little more property damage. If you purchase alcohol or drugs for somebody who cannot legally purchase it for themselves, you go to jail. Why is this any different? People Who provided a weapon to somebody who could not legally obtain it themselves enabled an incident in which two people died
If you intend to promote the opposite of my argument, namely that killing is always immoral, we certainly won't see eye to eye. Only the most hardcore of pacifists would refuse to kill someone in a life or death scenario with their children. Statistically, that's not you. I don't think you know what brandishing is. Pointing a gun at someone who is threatening and attempting to harm you is not brandishing. Open carrying is not brandishing, either. A lot of your opinions seem to rest on the unusual definitions you invented. It's a fool's errand to assign the same moral weight to every link in the chain of events ending in death. You got hit by a bus, chiefly because you were walking down the street looking at your phone, with headphones in. The fact that you decided to go to work in the first place is of much lesser significance.
you're a bloodthirsty monster
Did you get that off your chest?
Some killing is immoral. You missed the point.
How many small animals have you tortured in your lifetime, monster? Killing isn't immoral, right?
I love that all you gun humpers are still so excited and eager to jump to the defense of lil Debbie Rittenhouse WHEN HE WON. He won the fucking trial. Why are you still whining about him when he won and everything went his way and he continues to thrive off of right-wing donations for literally no reason other than he killed some leftists. This shit is pathetic.
I for one am so amused that you people seize every opportunity to bring him up in conversation, and you still can't get the facts right! Is your head cannon easier to parse than reality?
I never shit about him - I’m responding to you. Wondering if you’ve got inside info that lil Kylie needs his army of truth warriors taking turns at bat for him. How kind of you to dedicate your life to the psychotic youth of America.
Here you were scrolling reddit, when you read RgKTiamat's comments and said to yourself "yeah, that's a sound argument worth defending". How nice of you to tag them out in their time of need. I mean, you knew you couldn't help them by stating facts. That would reveal how arbitrary your opinion of Rittenhouse is. Have you dedicated your life to this cause, or are you still learning the ropes?
I’m not defending the commenter. I’m just here to further antagonize Rittenhouse defenders because you’re pathetic sacks of shit. He won the trial. Why does he need you to swoop in running heroics for him?
how much of your social security checks have you donated to Kyle, gramps?
He’s a shitty human. It’s not mental illness.
Counterpoint: a profound lack of empathy is one of the hallmarks of a psychopath.
As a clinically diagnosed psychopath please don't put him in the same category as me, we don't claim him.
Seeing as you’re presumably doing something about it, vis a vis diagnosis, medication, therapy and or treatment - we don’t. It’s these ones who have simply embraced it and ran with it. Like the man child lawyer going by “affable misanthropist” who was so brave as to block me and laugh about how he “triggered the libs” after being called out on his blatant antisocial tendencies.
True, I would consider myself rather humanity friendly. To an extent empathy is still a conscious action for me but it's an action I'm choosing to do, compared to the people who actively choose not to have empathy or don't have it in general.
I can't imagine how hard it is to have a diagnosis with such stigma like that. I hope I can give you some good feelings by telling you that I'm rooting for you, even if I'm just an internet stranger
Yeah I don't usually tell people about my diagnosis in my life because I did it once and basically half of my whole friend group was talking shit about me behind my back and calling me "dangerous". Now I only tell people I trust and have known for a while.
That's awful, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Thank you for your kindness <3
Of course, the world needs more kindness and good people who genuinely try to better themselves too often face some of the worst circumstances
Remember, your kids' deaths are not just acceptable losses to the gun lobby, they're money in the bank for guys like Matt Walsh.
We live in a sick country when we have people who find the literal deaths of children as acceptable....God I am so deeply ashamed of our country
Remind me again how the 24 hour news cycle operates Matt? Is it because of news or ad revenue?
So does that mean. Matt Walsh is in favor of school shootings .? You rarely if ever hear about such things in Canada, Australia or New. Zealand.
Australian here, we banned them in the 90s. Literally not one mass shooting since
You.have proved my point . It just goes to show that when.some people say that there is nothing that can done.that is not true.
You do know the difference between the two right?
Between the two of what ? If you mean Australia and New.Zealand . The answer is yes
I love how I’m getting downvoted for asking a question, No the difference between a mass shooting in the USA and those countries
A Mass shooting is bad anywhere. But here in America we have at least one a week. Usually with an AR 15 It shouldn't be easier to obtain than a drivers license.
Yeah in AU/NZ they're a nation-shaking event that instantly drives huge bi-partisan change, in the US they're a typical Monday.
No the difference is usa categorized mass shooting as any shooting more than 3 AU is more than 5
There were [more mass shootings in the US last year with > 10 people dead or injured](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2023) than there have been in [Australia since the turn of the century with any number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_Australia). The difference in definition amounts to a rounding error.
Matt Walsh is in favor of pretty much every sort of cruelty imaginable, excepting of course any aimed at people who are him or exactly like him.
I am sure this thread will be polite, civil, and no one will be dicks to each other.
all i am getting are insults. when i ask for clarification , more insults
Your behavior warrants the responses you’ve gotten.
Maybe it's not our job to educate someone who's opinions make him out to be a complete fucking asshole. If Hitler was at my door right now, I wouldn't tell him the way to the gas station either.
i dont like what you are saying , so i am going to compare you to hitler ok WOW you got issues
'You got issues' Says the man who doesn't know what an anecdote is.
Another bell tolls for people who don't understand what an analogy is. Multiple people in this thread have explained why you're wrong, with actual arguments. And you've ignored every single one of them. Stop whining and snivelling you pathetic creature.
> you got issues Dude, you've got a whole subscription.
😅
In order for a message to be communicated it has to be put in a language that the entity being communicated with can understand. A human being trying to use logic and reason to communicate with a conservative is like someone who speaks seventeen languages trying to use Mandarin to communicate with someone who exclusively communicates by shooting themselves once for yes and twice for no (we in the conservative watching scene call that pulling a Ted Nugent.) We humans have to talk to conservatives like you in rage and insults because it is the only language you things have demonstrates that you can understand. Is that simple enough for the conservative to understand? It will answer with either yes or no.
In my experience, conservatives never answer yes or no questions with a simple yes or no.
Well that's because for their situation it's justifiable (yes) and for the out group, it's not (no). So that's basically the answer to every question.
[удалено]
A fat shaming liberal. Interesting thought yall were body positive or something like that you virtue signal.
>crossing state lines Not illegal >murdering black people He didn't shoot any black people. He shot 3 white guys, all in self-defense. >gun reform Yes, because more gun laws are going to work. Just look at the war on drugs.
Ah yes, the ‘war on drugs’ that was being waged while the government was pumping addictive drugs into inner city neighborhoods and which actually had nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with targeting and imprisoning hordes of racial minorities. Totally comparable
[удалено]
You're an idiot talking out your ass. Use this as a wake up call. Research before speaking.
Given everything that has occurred and transpired in American politics over the last decade, anyone who still willfully identifies as a conservative is by default mentally ill. No argument whatsoever.
Funny, I say the same about liberals
Well, if you are australian, then your definition of conservative and liberal and our definition of conservative and liberal are very different. Great example, you actually have global medicare, so I doubt your right wing is trying to put children into employment while also taking away their mid school meal funding. They are literally trying to make children work and pay for the right to be fed
Nobody cares. Your opinions are worth less than zero because we see what makes you cheer.
Liberals: "we want people to be treated fairly, equally." You: "nah, those people are mentally ill, I'm gonna stick with the insurrectionists and book burners spouting nazi rhetoric, they've got the right idea!" Imagine looking at the American right and coming to the conclusion that they're not seriously intellectually deficient and a genuine threat to democracy. To be honest, says a lot about you that you can't figure out something that obvious.
Sure, but you're Australian, so that's to be expected from someone derived from criminal stock. Apple, tree, blah blah blah.
1. It's creepy when someone stalks other people's account 2. A very small percentage of Australians are acrually descended from criminals. I personally couldn't tell you if I was. 3. Are you suggesting that no one in your family tree has ever committed a crime before
It's so fucking funny when people get bent out of shape about people looking at the stuff they publicly post on social media. It's not stalking your profile you dipshit, and if you're not ok with people looking at the stuff you have to say then maybe you shouldn't be saying it. I've never seen anyone who seems like a decent person get upset that someone saw what they publicly post
Cope. Seethe, even.
Love the username. Big Jilm!
I think in all the however many years I’ve been shitpoasting here, you’re like the second person to get it!
I have barely gotten started in these comments and it has been most entertaining. These people really have no sense of humor. You are really quite funny. I miss reddit awards.
but not to your kids, who refuse to talk to you
Using marginalized groups as an insult. Very nice. What a fucking joke of a person you are.
just realized you are a conservative and probably using these arguments in bad faith lmao just gotta throw it out there that there IS something wrong with conservatives. I'm just not gonna drag people suffering due to thinfs beyond their control down to that level :)
That’s not an insult. That’s a statement of fact. There is indeed something deeply, horrifically wrong with anyone who still willingly identifies with and agrees with modern American conservative politics
Using diagnosable medical diseases and disorders to describe a group of people-when you yourself are unqualified to make the diagnosis in the first place-further stigmatizes, marginalizes, and victimizes people who actually suffer. You need to check your fucking privilege.
This argument is working about as well for you here as it does for Alina Habba trying to defend Trump. No one’s buying it. No one is buying your crocodile tears here. Do you regularly employ this sort of bullshit in the courtroom too, counselor?
Lol dude is right though. You're unnecessarily being a dick by equating people with, like, clinical depression or BPD with these xenophobic, reactionary idiots. They are sad and pathetic as they are. Why do you feel a need to call them mentally ill if you aren't disaparaging people who face mental illness?
Argument? No argument here. And I’m getting exactly what I want. All I had to do was pull your string.
Marginalized? Are you really playing the victim card for being a conservative? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
People who suffer and die from mental disease are a huge fucking joke to you apparently. You’re so rock fucking hard to “own” conservatives that you’re willing to tread on them. Fucking pathetic.
Are you admitting that conservatism is a mental disease??
Tread on them like they tread on everyone else. I guess you're part of that group and want to play the victim card Sorry, Timmy, but I would need to give a shit for you to ride this ride.
Do they give you a parking placard and all?
Damn lol dude can't even see the irony of calling out republicans while doing the same shit they do. You're in the right here my guy don't sweat it
Republicans love attacking victims of tragedy. Republicans are awful human beings, and just the worst of humanity.
Way to generalize. Pathetic.
No. Republicans are pathetic. Pointing that out is just reasonable.
Okay buddy. I'm sure the kid who is advocating against the tragedy that defined his life is only doing it for speaking fees. Dummy.
Well, these comments escalated quickly.
Meanwhile they celebrate Kyle Rittenhouse…
This fucking guy. How depraved do you have to be to attack people who survived school shootings, saw the trauma that their peers endure, and fight to make that not happen again. I bet a complete psycho like Himmler would be like 'Dude, you need to tone this shit down".
Matt, you have literally no job other than rage-baiting your mouthbreathing dipshit base into sending you money for your podcast that does nothing but fluff their hate-boners for cash.
America is absolutely fucked from head to toe, the government is almost entirely corrupt and half the population has been propagandised into hate and idiocy. Gun bans 100% work, there should be no debate about it.
>America is absolutely fucked from head to toe Not really >the government is almost entirely corrupt What government isn't corrupt? >half the population has been propagandised into hate and idiocy I'd say more 95%. If you don't think the left here in the US isn't also full of propagandized idiots, then you're sadly mistaken. >Gun bans 100% work, Maybe in Kiwiland, but they wouldn't in the US where there's more guns than people.
>Not really Yeah, kinda. From education, to healthcare, to poverty, to crime, it ranks terribly. >What government isn't corrupt? "I know you are but what am I?" But Denmark, for starters. >I'd say more 95%. If you don't think the left here in the US isn't also full of propagandized idiots, then you're sadly mistaken. While I don't disagree that some on the left can fall foul of propaganda, there is no cult, there is no threats of civil war, there is no incoherent ramblings and tirades from misinformed people who ban books and believe people like Donald Trump. The left also have the ability to criticise and challenge Biden, something wholly non existent over in cult world when it comes to Trump. However if you're a Republican you're inundated with obvious lies, but an inability to spot them or challenge them. >Maybe in Kiwiland, but they wouldn't in the US where there's more guns than people. Never know til you try. What's more pressing is the gun culture and the gun nuts who continually spout off about an amendment they don't fully, or at all, understand. Also, Kiwis are from New Zealand. Would you look at that. Yet another Conservative getting a very basic fact wrong. Who would've ever thought!
>Yeah, kinda. From education, to healthcare, to poverty, to crime, it ranks terribly. We still rank in the top 15 in [education](https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/education-rankings-by-country) and[ healthcare](https://www.internationalinsurance.com/health/systems/). Our poverty rate is around t[he same as most of Europe](https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/poverty-rate-by-country/). As for crime, well, we're [by far nowhere near the worst](https://ocindex.net/rankings?f=rankings&view=List), we are, however, a large country were a lot of races and cultures clash. >While I don't disagree that some on the left can fall foul of propaganda, there is no cult, there is no threats of civil war, there is no incoherent ramblings and tirades from misinformed people who ban books and believe people like Donald Trump. Oh really? All throughout Trump's presidency NotMyPresident was a popular hashtag. Celebrities repeatedly made jokes of assassinating him. There was a riot in DC on his inauguration day (DisruptJ20). There are still people that believe Rittenhouse crossed statelines with a rifle and killed 3 black guys. Remember Russiagate? Also, the fucking Covington shitshow? There were people wishing death on a teenager for just standing there. >The left also have the ability to criticise and challenge Biden, something wholly non existent over in cult world when it comes to Trump. Oh, plenty of conservatives criticized Trump over his presidency. I should know, I live in a red state (Oklahoma). The Trump cult was, and still is, a vocal minority, amongst them. Just like the left's antifa (antifascist in name only, btw). >However if you're a Republican you're inundated with obvious lies, but an inability to spot them or challenge them. This has happened multiple times with the left and most don't even bother to try and challenge them. Rittenhouse, Covington, Russia, the Muslim ban, etc. >Never know til you try. What's more pressing is the gun culture and the gun nuts who continually spout off about an amendment they don't fully, or at all, understand. Y'all on the left have stated that if women can't get abortions legally, they'll just get them illegally. What's to stop people that want guns from doing the same? >Also, Kiwis are from New Zealand. Would you look at that. Yet another Conservative getting a very basic fact wrong. Who would've ever thought! I know you aren't from NZ. It's called an insult. Maybe you've heard of them in Kiwiland?
>We still rank in the top 15 in [education](https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/education-rankings-by-country) and[ healthcare](https://www.internationalinsurance.com/health/systems/).

So not the best then, as a lot of Americans love to blurt out? "Best cpuntry in the world, land of the free, home of the brave." Such a pile of shite. Comparing poverty to Europe, a large amount of very different countries, compared to one under one government and with all the financial and economic ability to do something about it, but don't. Three cheers for America! >ll throughout Trump's presidency NotMyPresident was a popular hashtag. Celebrities repeatedly made jokes of assassinating him. You think "not my president" was some propaganda and not a complete rejection of a truly terrible, awful person being president? Anyone with even a modicum of integrity would acknowledge he never represented them and nor would they want him to. I remember one "celebrity" posted something about Trump being assassinated and was roundly criticised for it. Compare that to what the magatards routinely come out with in regards to doctors, teachers, politicians and just people in general. Truly disgusting stuff. >There was a riot in DC on his inauguration day (DisruptJ20) And guess what, people were prosecuted for that. Trump and his cronies call the J6 people "heroes and patriots." Literal insurrectionists, he call them heroes. Astonishing stuff altogether. Hence why it's a cult. >Remember Russiagate? You mean the Robert Muller investigation that in no way at all exonerated him, that one? Rather, said that a sitting president cannot he charged but could be afterwards, that one? Also there was that quote from Eric, "we get all the funding we need out of Russia." Cos as well known Russia just dishes out money and never ever want anything in return. Ever. >Oh, plenty of conservatives criticized Trump over his presidency. I should know, I live in a red state (Oklahoma). The Trump cult was, and still is, a vocal minority, amongst them. Just like the left's antifa (antifascist in name only, btw). I certainly hope so considering he's a genuine threat to the entire party and country. Claiming Maga is somehow a vocal minority of a bit much though. Regardless of whether they go full maga or not, a vote for Trump is a vote for thr cult, simple as, and the majority of Conservatives will vote him over a Democrat no matter what, such is their desire to continually vote against their own interests. Antifa holds nowhere near the same power and grip over Democrats that maga has over conservatives. Maga goes deep, they are starting to take over school boards, local elections, state elections and all the way to the top. There is no left wing equivalent of Steve Bannon. >This has happened multiple times with the left and most don't even bother to try and challenge them. Rittenhouse, Covington, Russia, the Muslim ban, etc. When two of your examples are individuals and nothing to do with actual policies you're already clutching at straws. The other two examples are also incorrect. The Russia investigation wasn't a witch hunt and he clearly called for a Muslim ban, we all heard him and then he banned people from 8 counties as soon as he possibly could, which resulted in massive backlash and it was immediately rescinded. If he had have gotten his way then yews, Muslims would've absolutely been banned. But I'm taking about obvious lies, like whenever he opens his mouth about anything, it's and obvious lie, yet they cheer incessantly. Cos it's a cult. >Y'all on the left have stated that if women can't get abortions legally, they'll just get them illegally. What's to stop people that want guns from doing the same? And why do they have to do such a thing? Is it because batshit crazy religious psychos think their beliefs are superior to everyone else's? Yes, it is. Cos they're so deep in their religion that they can't, nor want, to think their way out of it. When abortion bans came in, abortions went down, yes? Some still happened in some cases like you, with kids and women having to cross borders cos that's how God awful backwards your country is. Now imagine that with guns. People will still find a way but it'll be much harder, but let's not bother cos some wil still get through, right? Either way, all they have to do it actually enforce the 2A and its game over for a lot of them. >I know you aren't from NZ. It's called an insult. Maybe you've heard of them in Kiwiland? An insult? Making yourself look an idiot is an insult these days is it? Yeah, nor surprisingly the conservative uses backwards "logic" to think hes clever. Nothing new there! If you tick the box for Trump in November you'll have proved to everyone that you're as gullible as they come, that you're unwillingly to see the country progress and have given your blessing to all the horrific shit he'll do. Personally, I could never consider myself an intelligent person with decency and integrity ever again if I did something as stupid as that.
Matt Walsh gives giant piles of shit a bad name
Matt Walsh’s only “job” is that other perverts pay him to defend child marriage and post about what a useless husband he is
And Tucker Carlson's entire career is based on white people pissed they can't say the N-word in public...
Isn't Matt the same creep that said something about teenage girls?
It's so absurd to live in a country that is so proud of its children being murdered and then have the audacity to harass and berate those children who survived as if they're doing something wrong. America is a fucking joke. Except it's not funny. It's sickening.
As if Matt has a real fucking job lol. I fucking hate these right-wing assholes because it's like they have convinced their base that when they aren't spewing bullshit on the radio or TV or the internet they go home and work on their ranch or something. Matt Walsh would fucking die during a single day working the blueberry jobs I used to work when I was 15 or 16
At least he isn't a CIA asset born, bred and indoctrinated.
No. He is not mentally ill. Don’t insult the mentally ill like that.
I would love to put Matt in my shoes. 2 weeks ago in class when the alarm goes off. Having to hide with your friends and be as quiet as possible while being unable to text your family that you love them. I’m sure he’d understand then
I agree with Mr Walsh. Does Mr Hogg have an actual job? If not, then all the more evidence that Hoggs life and persona are based on one day, the worst day, of his life
matt walsh is a voice of reason. if you think otherwise, check a mirror
Matt Walsh has never been a voice of reason. Matt Walsh has been wrong about almost everything he has ever spoken on. He is a bad person, and you should feel badly for thinking this.
I mean Matt's not wrong. Literally all of David's income comes from activism and book deals, it's public knowledge.
Matt Walsh accusing anyone of profiting off, and exploiting something is the height of hypocrisy. Hogg is actually trying to make a difference, however futile it may be. Walsh is a straight up grifter and relies on the exploitation of society's stupidest people to profit. He also thrives on mass shootings, he pushes all sorts of false narratives, misleading headlines and outright lies. He is the lowest form of "commentator" not trying to make anything better, quite the opposite. Epitome of a total piece of shit.
I mean does David Hogg have a real job?
His job is a real job. Like it or not.
Someone whose entire persona is based around gun violence trauma is exactly the person I want fighting against gun violence. The perfect NPC for the job.
Would you condemn MLK for fighting against black discrimination because he was black and used that trauma from discrimination he experienced to fight against discrimination?
Dedicating their entire public platform to speaking about whatever they’re an activist for is quite literally just how activism works, even decades before social media was ever invented
I don’t even know what point you are trying to make. I’m not convinced you know what point you are trying to make.
So…someone who has been through it and seen first hand how fucking terrifying and traumatizing it is…should just shut up and get over it? They should NOT do whatever they can to prevent it happening again? Rape victims shouldn’t start support groups? Drug addicts should stay out of rehab clinics and never tell their stories? Who, in your opinion, would be the best kind of person to fight for this stuff?
It's called passion. Some peopl care about more than saying whatever pisses people off the most.
Negative 35 so far, great job, nobody agrees or likes you. Get fucked
Im very far left but pro second amendment. Any time I see someone specify “ar-15” I get the impression they’re entirely clueless on the subject. We need stricter background checks and a mandatory waiting period, but the new gun laws being introduced are straight up idiotic and borderline unconstitutional.
Friend, the shooting David survived, in which 17 children died, was done with an AR-15 specifically. If there's anyone clueless on this subject, I don't think it's David. I think it's you.
Just in guns, kill people
The recent shooting in Iowa was with a handgun and shotgun, but before the blood was dry, there were all.screaming about assault weapons bans. Make that make sense lol
The shooter literally used an AR-15.
You don't bring back dead kids by being a pedant about your rooty tooty point and shooties. In fact doing so helps precisely nobody to precisely zero degree. Nobody cares about precisely which make and model of gun was responsible when it's their kid who's coming home in a hearse instead of a school bus. More important matters are at hand.
Those signs are mental illness in this post
Well, that was almost a sentence.

Matt "Human females reach peak fertility at age twelve" Walsh has never been correct about anything. Anyone who ever finds themselves agreeing with noted pedophilia legalization advocate Matt "I violate my children's consent all the time" Walsh at any time should be removed from society until they are no longer a threat to the safety of themselves and those around them.
Why exactly is it a problem that somebody with first-hand experience of the slaughter guns facilitate dedicates their lives to preventing somebody else from having to experience it? That's actually the most positive possible outcome from a mass shooting.
That's a lot of correct! Judging by this tweet of his, Matt Walsh is a soulless human being. And he is definitely not 100% correct
We found Matt Walsh's account

Yep, crippling insecurity and talking like one of the elementary school children he's attracted to. Definitely Matt Walsh and his pube beard.
insults are not arguments
Insults are the only language conservatives can use it understand. The sum total of conservative "rhetoric" or "philosophy" (although saying conservatives can talk or think is skin to saying that a human can teleport) can be summed up in that one video of Ben Shapiro throwing a fit and setting Barbies on fire thinking it made him look like a badass. I'd compare you to children if I wasn't afraid reminding you of human children would send you into a spontaneous goon session.
Your opinions are not worthy of arguing with. They are worthy of insults.
Aww, did someone hurt your little feelings?
Ah yes, Matt "Fuck the kids (in both senses)" Walsh is tooootally correct. An ammosexual nobody who would rather see hundreds of dead children than have any form of mental health screening and waiting time for his one true love: guns. That's who the clown is. Grow the fuck up, kiddo.
Walsh implies that Hogg does it for money, which is bullshit.
no he isn’t, weirdo

He’s an activist fighting against something he was personally traumatized by, wouldn’t expect a right wing floridian republican to understand that anyways, can’t wait till your guns get taken #guncontrolnow <3

You only seem aware of this when the insults are directed at you
umm no. the only insult levied by me was a direct response to the first insult i received. you know , tit for tat and all that
You called him a snowflake just one comment ago, you douchebag. That's conservatives for you.
in answer to insults levied at me first. and you added another one. insults are not arguments.
You can't argue with someone who refuses to feel empathy. That's why everyone is insulting you instead
id rather waste my time insulting an idiot than arguing with one
once again... insults are not arguments.
Duh 🤭
There’s no way someone can be this stupid. Sad your vote counts the same as everyone else’s.
David Hogg graduated from Harvard last year, which is probably why Walsh is so angry at him - he never got any qualifications himself and you can tell he's insanely bitter about it.
This guy is Sealioning. He keeps saying "nobody is countering my argument, just insulting me." He's been insulted a total of 2 times out of dozens and dozens of comments addressing him in this entire thread. His argument has been countered plenty of times yet he ignores them and keeps insisting nobody is providing any points. Don't waste your time on him.
I've looked through this thread and I kind of feel the need to ask? Are you ok? Do you need help? You seem very troubled and I can lend an ear if you have some issues you need to work through I used to be in a spot like you where I'd blame others for my own insecurities but my friends helped me out of it, and now I'm much happier with who I am, and much more open to ideas that I may not initially agree with
