When people show you who they are, believe them.

This is a good rule of thumb to remember. I’d add to trust your observations but also remember that change is inevitable: everything and everyone changes

actually that sounds much like America’s military operations

Condolences to Karen for the BS firing. On the topic of “shit charlie says”, here’s his wikiquote entry. (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk) I love going on wikiquote because it acts as a summary of texts & thinkers that I don’t have the time to read. I say this because normally wikiquote is full of very aspirational quotes, but Charlie’s is very abysmal AND it’s recent too! These aren’t old quotes. These are from as early as this year. His anti-feminist quote (“Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.”) was uttered in 2025. His anti-black and anti-civil rights comments were made last year in 2024. ("I’m sorry, if I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, “Boy, I hope he’s qualified.” January 2024.)
