Maybe tie it to 50% off rifle scopes and a free marksmanship lesson. In memory of why we celebrate this day.

Old Jesus was too woke and empathetic. Remember new Jesus, and not the Epstein files He demanded be released.

October 14th, rifle day at the range.

3D printed firearm giveaway on Luigi Mangione day.

Appropriately celebrated by shooting Nazis?

Celebrate by tossing red dye into every fountain in town!

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

(A good alternative if you don't have red dye to toss in the fountain — or if you just don't feel like using dye — is the blood of one or more fascists.)

If I get off work, cool. But fuck this piece of shit and the pedos that worship him.

[–] YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

Malicious compliance incoming.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How are y’all gonna celebrate Charlie Kirk Day? LOL

Here’s some suggestions:

-T-shirts and signs with his most despicable quotes -Maybe one that has him depicted like a Saint on a stained glass window, showing how he went out, as is tradition.

HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I laugh my ass off at people who get offended when you literally quote him word for word and in full context. There is nothing like that with MLK or anyone.

He was a paid propagondist who preached hatered, bigotry and advocated for genocide, and his legacy speaks for itself.

those DEMS are definitely DINOS, that are probably being challenged by magats in thier seats the next election, or they are not running anymore, so they show thier true colors. plus they are voting, because thier megadonors, and AIPAC wouldnt fund them anymore( which funnily enough also funds gop)

Nice, now we have an American Bonfire Night. Luckily Kirk had equally recognizable facial features so the effigy's will be on point. Remember to add a lil fire cracker in the neck for both a realistic finish, and a throwback to the OG Gunpowder Plot 😀

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

We got until then to have the best jokes ready

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Ahh, yes. Racist Nazi's deserve remembrance days in Trump's America.

Funny there are no days to remember the hundreds of CHILDREN killed by Republicans.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'll remember it, and laugh my ass off.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Atheists, im counting on you to establish a tradition that makes this a day mocking Charlie Kirk. I believe in you.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What does any of that have to do with atheism? Make it make sense.

Why Kirk day? To celebrate? Pop the bubbly and go to town!

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why not have someone compose a song about him, which you could make the new theme song for the maga movement?
