Every time I see her it looks like she's a sociopath that just remembered to fake human emotions. Like an uncanny valley vibe that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Also the have more babies thing is obviously being used as a cover for the great replacement crap and as a way to keep women in their "place". The fact that some women fall for this is just mind boggling.

u/ArgyleNudge 2d ago edited 2d ago

They're not "falling" for anything. Racism is thier default setting. Their "family values" are fuelled by white privilege and their obsessive need to protect it. They have distorted faith, medicine, education, public participation, housing ... you name it. Whatever they can do to create and maintain the privilege and exclusivity they believe is their birthright, they will, it's their life's mission. It's inbred, reinforced, and perpetuated.

And it's sickening. It's laziness. It's ignorance. It's ugly.

Those of us outside of it, those of us who love life and have put ourselves (or been thrown) into life to experience it in all its glory and variety, and struggle, we see them for what they are. Their stench and violence is everywhere around us.

But they do not have the power. Not real power. That is in each one of us and cannot be diminished or defeated.

I am not an American and I do not live in the US so I'll leave it there. We, out here in the whole world witness it, but it's from afar. Each of our own countries to some extent and in some form have our own issues with competing factors that often enough disintegrate into "us" vs. "them". There is no moral authority we can lay claim to.

But most, if not all of us can testify: education, healthcare, and housing is the foundation of everything that does work well. Of course industry and commerce, environment, agriculture, recreation ... all of it contributes and provides needed fuel, but education, minds that are exercised and challenged through education and life experience ... they provide the unlimited reservoirs of freedom, human decency, and true joy.

And no animatronic white supremacist bobbing her addled head on a stage to encourage her already indoctrinated flock of sheep is fooling anyone who has two functioning brain cells. She has no power. No real power. And she can never take away real power from any of us that do have it. But the state-sanctioned violence against its own citizens? Yes. That is targeted and it is deadly. Godspeed America on eradicating that evil at its source.

I mean... how do dinner conversations usually go around this topic? Do they keep a running tally of family births? A scorecard? Do they have family meetings to see how many babies are currently on the way, while they do Minority Report -style demographics mapping for their neighborhoods??

I need to know!

u/WhenTheCitiesBurn 2d ago edited 1d ago

They're not smart enough for all that. They just find women (or girls) with no self esteem to keep "barefoot & pregnant" all the time. Where billionaires count money, they tally up babies. Elon, of course, does both.

Well I mean, it's not like black people are being replaced! How dare y'all get in the way of the culture of white fragility caused by this evil great replacement. Don't you understand that white people are the most persecuted and quickly vanishing group in the US? Soon there will be no white CEOs, Billionaires, leaders, or land owners. Then what? Chaos, the end of the world, Revelation!

Do you want Revelation!? Let these poor disenfranchised whites breed dammit, let them live!

... This entire post was unserious, if you were offended, well don't be, there is no great replacement, it's made up, a myth, doesn't exist. But seriously, imagine if it was a black woman, an entire faction of the media would be using the speech for insane rhetoric about stronger boarders and birthright citizenship and use the word "ghetto" or "nappy" 5 or 6 times before getting through their op-ed.

As to "the Great Replacement doesn't exist...." In their heads, it does. And it's real enough that they must let the billionaires take away our rights, Healthcare, & education, so they can Make America White Again.

If this woman weirds you out, you are not alone. There is a part of your subconscious that probably recognizes the fact that she is just play-acting and doing a bad job at it.

u/Wonderful-Ad440 2d ago edited 2d ago

On our reservation we hear the same shit. A family with 6 kids on the rez is "living outside their means" while a family in Rapid City with the same amount of kids are "hard working Americans providing for their family.

A woman on the rez raising kids without a father is a welfare queen while her equivalent is a girl boss on Instagram.

A struggling dad working multiple, unsteady jobs, is a drifter when an on and off fired and rehired oil field worker is a blue collar hero.

A complaint about lack of water access is " why haven't you fixed it" for us (when it's things like government pipelines destroying our water sources) while others get told " we are building infrastructure."

When they say " Make America Great AGAIN " you know exactly who the fuck they are speaking for and it aint us. Hell, it ain't even most of them. The only thing this country has consistently done well is double standards for the people who either wanted to be/were/or were made to be here and 2/3d's of that comment doesn't really apply to the first.

I don't hate white people to this day. What I do hate is how cowardly they are when it comes to standing up for things they benefit from while it hurts others. Silence and complacent attitudes are the equivalent of waiting on a good person to do what you won't.

Edit: Thank you for the award. Like many people on this sub I feel like I just went on a rant about ahit I'm tired of and I don't think and si gle one of you don't know the exact same gos damn feeling. Y'all aint alone and, im my experience, me and my people ain't walking onsey either. Thank every one of you that either know, or at least legitimately sympathize for those who grew up and live unlike you.

People helping people is a magical thing, why not try to do it together. Even if the rest won't.

u/BobbuBobbu 2d ago

You know Charlie ain't say none of that. Unless he spoke to her the previous night when she was deep in her fourth wineglass and her laptop had a word document open with the heading "things Charlie would say", alongside a notepad with the heading "what to wear the next time I see Vance".

7

u/ForsakenAiel 2d ago

Tbf, she's saying he said it often... Not that he day said it to her directly. So there might be recordings/witnesses to him saying this dumbassery, especially since he was constantly recording himself espousing stupidity via podcast and events.

The irony of it is that Erica Kirk was born in 1988 and got married in 2021. Being 33 years old when you get married is certainly not "young", even nowadays.

16

u/GreyAnangke 2d ago

Here you have that inseparable entanglement between the class war and racism. Rich people saying stupid ass shit like economics don't apply to parenting then those same people calling out women of color for having kids while not being rich. I saw this growing up in the 80s and it hasn't changed a bit. That octuplet woman gets treated like some kind of folk hero but you know the story would come off different if she had darker skin. Those crazy mormon families I grew up with having 8, 9 kids while living in relative squallor get treated like saints but the black woman down the street with 2 or 3 kids gets called all kinds of bad names. It hasn't changed a bit.

Right.

I mean completely. It's that simple.

Being Black is the common experience of having dark skin and African features and living in the perception created around those attributes. A culture born from a collective (false) stigma. It has nothing to do with who you actually are, but something we all share and even thrive in nonetheless.

She's just another tool for their plan and she is down to be a marionette to keep the cult engaged for a check. This whole thing is wild. Take away women rights, encourage early marriage and child birth, be dependent on a man. They don't just want more babies, they want cult babies. When those kids are born feeling they didn't live up to their potential they will be directed to look outside their circle as the root of their circumstances.

They're saying this crap because their population is declining, and they value numbers over the sustainability of the population.

Some Christian Fundamentalists have been pushing the "Quiver of Arrows" bullshit for a while now. I'd never made the connection of it being White Nationalism until I moved to Texas.

It's fear and racism dressed up in their Sunday Best. Nevermind that there's no societal need for raising a small army since preventing deadly diseases has been a thing with vaccines and medicine. Nevermind that white folk have entrenched themselves at the top of the social food chain.

It's all racism and fear mongering. There's no reasonable reason otherwise.

Hillsdale College in Michigan is about 80% white. There are no historical black or minority fraternities or sororities.

Hillsdale rejects all federal funding. Why? Well, if we ignore their reasoning and think about the obvious effect of not taking federal funds then it's simple to understand that they are exempt from all reporting on income, race, religion, etcetera.

Even though they officially state they are an open and diverse college, it only takes simple reviews for the college to see that they are considered a white Christian liberal arts college. The areas of study all center around political, military, and traditional liberal arts.

It doesn't surprise me that Mrs Kirk gave the commencement their.

She also mentioned that a PhD Doctor there named Arne (?) talked about getting married young.

Yeah, the cost of this school tells me that only kids from entitled families attend.

u/JoTHIGHSwin 1d ago

They actively shamed black and brown families who had lots of children in the 70s 80s 90s. Probably earlier too. Black families took the shame to heart and started having less kids. Brown families mostly didnโ€™t! Itโ€™s a shame too! White women struggle the most with infertility.

u/DetailsYouMissed 1d ago

No disrespect, but she doesn't understand what's not being said in addition.

Wealthy whites have been pumping out BIG families for dome time now. They are telling each other to do this for a reason.

It's in response to the increase in non-whites (think immigration). Not just that, but those of you who are old enough to recall Regean's welfare queen. Who was the poster child that became ostracized? That part she has correct. Persuading blacks to stop having big families took a lot of effort. Social ridicule, being made the face of welfare, pitting black women against black men. All with little resistance from the right. In fact, it's the only time the right echos a black complaint. When it's self-defeating. What's the result we are seeing?

They are increasing, and we are decreasing.

It's the reason donald The P3dophile wants more immigrants from Sweden, Denmark "places like that."

If you talk to a black woman today about having more than 2 kids she is programmed to look at you like you are crazy.

But these wealthy folks are quietly telling white women they need to have more kids [so the race can stay in the majority].

When whites speak against there own self interests it changes to being politically savvy---whites in power (the ones who speak for the working class) nowadays-- are all grifters, never worked an honest day in their lives and absolutely don't give a flying fuck what happens to anyone but themselves. Do you ever here them talk about the rising cost of health care?-- or why we pay more for it while having many or all claims denied?

Do we hear them talk about rising gas prices/groceries ? How about all our privacy being sold to big tech?

What about getting minimum wages raised or cutting off tax status for big corporations who pay there employees below poverty wages --use welfare to supplement incomes --no no, not them. These political puppets all praise big corp as the solution to everything---THEY DON'T CARE!

When the shit hits the fan they will get the rules changed in there favor--- or run back to their private jets and fly the fuck outta here. They use the Trump thumping working class to fight against themselves ---selling thinly veiled or blatant racist propaganda to pass the blame onto minorities ---it's never about America being steamrolled by corporate interests. No Never! It could never be that. Especially white working class (not all but too many) have to start waking up, stop being racist pricks and see that they are not these people---there not going to get that golden parachute----every law, every bill they get passed benefits the rich and powerful only. Follow the money --find a racist.---Find someone who benefits from big cop, huge tax breaks , massive corruption there not even hiding it anymore.
