So what I read is that TPUSA enables useful idiots.
Stop giving attention whores what they want, for fuck's sake. It's like getting mad at Facebook comments which I thought we'd all learned was useless a decade ago.
Here is the full transcript of Hancock’s (@DaveHan06) post on X/Twitter:
Is anyone surprised that Kyle’s far-right political handlers ensured this particular detail didn’t make it into his book? (Referring to photo of email detailing how Rittenhouse was banned from ever applying to the Marine Corp again due to failing the entrance exam so terribly)
Regarding his online high school diploma, we had to force him to complete the four years of credits in just ten months, which he did using the “Google machine.”
We invested significant effort to craft the image you witnessed during the trial. We outfitted him in new suits, arranged for his haircut every weekend during the trial, and dedicated over 200 hours to prepare him for direct and cross-examination. We employed the world’s leading jury consultant and conducted extensive research through three mock trials to identify the ideal jurors and the most effective approach for his testimony.
Transforming a middle school dropout who was “angry at the world” with a history of violence and an unhealthy obsession with guns and killing into a respectable young man with a desire for higher education and a promising future was no easy feat.
It was a meticulously crafted facade, which we sincerely hoped he would grow into. Instead, he squandered a full scholarship to study any subject at any university in the country to become a divisive douchebag and antagonize black Americans on college campuses. Kyle failed to learn a single thing. He remains the same uneducated, arrogant, and antagonistic individual, incapable of telling the truth.
Now, he genuinely believes he is the show pony we created and has surrounded himself with sycophants who fuel his inflated ego because they prioritize their political agenda and Christian Nationalist worldview over his well-being.
Despite my efforts to guide him toward a better path in life, the allure of notoriety triumphed over the prospect of putting in the hard work of pursuing an education. Kyle is ill-equipped to offer advice to young people. I regret my role in shaping him into whatever he has become. If I had known what I know now about Kyle’s history, I wouldn’t have been involved.
Hate to break it to you, but it’s actually illegal to kill people and he got away with doing it twice. I’m not happy about it, but he’s not going to be touched for this comment, I promise you.
He should be serving consecutive live sentences, but instead he was given a platform to speak on and became a poster child for conservative values.
The American “justice” system is a joke and a farce.
But setting aside the fact that a descendant of colonizers has the caucasity to tell the descendants of the colonized that they should “leave” the land they rightfully pointed out was stolen from them…
Nope. Hating the bigotry of people who have skin color or another trait in common with yourself does not equal hating yourself. Caucasity is not a trait inherent to all white people.
Contrary to the fantasies of bigots, white people are not one big team united against everyone else.
I mean, he makes the rounds in the right wing grift-o-sphere somewhat regularly, has huge name recognition, and likely a very positive q score among maga types.
He probably doesn't need any leftist outrage to win a primary in the right district.
It's not a bad idea to keep tabs on what these assholes are up to. This little shit is out there everyday trying to convert people to his cause. Making him look like an idiot on social media might be a vaccination of sorts to keep other young people from falling into his trap.
Because as important as it is to deplatform these idiots, we also need to know what they're doing. They're still going to be out there actively radicalizing people and you can't fight this shit if you don't know it exists.
Dude is so dumb he got PERMANENTLY disqualified from joining the crayon eaters club. And this was during a time they were desperate for new recruits too lol
I'm pretty sure the minimum ASVAB score is like 30. I'm pretty sure you could get that by randomly guessing on most of it. I try not to be too harsh in my judgements of the less intelligent but holy fuck do you have to be dumb to be fully disqualified.
This email could be fake. There is zero verifiable evidence that Rittenhouse was permanently disqualified from serving because of a low ASVAB test score
Infamous stupid hick says hateful, willfully ignorant rage bait. Middle school was too much for this fucking mental invalid. He may never see prison for what he's done, but he's trapped in that idiot mind and will never know greater awareness, just like he deserves.
No, my thoughts come from a person who has no power to deliver proper punishment. From what I've read, it seems he's viewed as a petulant, perpetually angry prick. People like that are never happy, even when they get what they want, they just look for something else to hate. He's too uneducated and self centered to ever have proper introspection and growth. He's fucking stuck like that. Barring actual justice, at least he's trapped in that small mind.
Ha - I'm not sure there is! There's still time to give it a name - perhaps Rittenhouse's Lowest Common Denominator: "the dumber the opinion, the more attention it gets." Feel free to disregard, improve, or workshop that.
Now, now, this dumbass dropped out of middle school. You can't blame him for being an ignorant little bastard. I mean, you can, but he might cry if you do.
I looked through to see who revived this old story, ready to point my finger at OP or the article, but it turns out the person who revived this old story is Kyle Rittenhouse. A murderous opportunist.
Everyone who defended him during the trial or afterwards has signed a blood pact with the man and has to continue to defend everything he ever does or says forever.
In twenty years, he's going to be the Governor of a backwater state like Alabama or something, he's sadly going to be remembered as this Right Wing Folk Hero forever.
Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face? Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht — a face that’s badly in need of a fist.
Middle school dropout clinging to a gun and living 24/7 in fully consuming fear that people find out he's just a frightened child (which of course, everyone already knows)
Though I am mystified that the author wrote an entire article describing Rittenhouse's caucasity without using the term white supremacist once. You don't get caucasity without white supremacism.
That’s not really true unless it has evolved since it first appeared. It used to just mean saying/doing something from the place of ignorance or privilege of being white or even just some weird shit like what midwesterners get up to when they dream up new “casseroles.” It was a fun word for use on reaction social media and memes. I hope it hasn’t come to describing white supremacy, an unfortunate trend for too many things these days.
person trying to make a career out of being the living embodiment of the idea of ragebait says something intended to provoke angry reactions from people
I'd love to not live in a country with him, but if I leave, I know the country gets a little bit worse for those who can't leave. This is why I advocate for staying in awful states if you can do so safely. If you leave, then the state gets even worse for the people who want to but can't.
I am on the right, and yes, he's right-grifty AF. Always has been. I'm sure my opinions on KR wouldn't be received well on Lemmy (not that I care too much), but we're probably in agreement here: ....why is this little boy relevant? 🤨 Like why should he be a 'thing', years later? He shot some people, that's it. So what's the formula here? Go to rally filled with violent criminals while open carrying, shoot people, ??????, profit? Not a KR fan by any means.
I was watching some YouTubers & KR was there for some reason, and they were waiting in anticipation "to see which college he'd choose!! 😍" they had 2 hats & he was going to grab one, put one on & I'm just like GUYS...I. Do. Not. Care. I just don't care. ¯\(°_o)/¯ It was SO strange watching him turn into a celebrity.
Imagine living in the land for generations, being forced to move to less desirable places because of invaders, and having to deal with said invaders saying "you can leave if you don't like it!"
