Kyle Rittenhouse Tells Native Americans They Can ‘Leave’ If They Hate America

I'll just drop this here:
Kyle Rittenhouse’s Former Handler Reveals That He’s a Middle School Dropout Who Is ‘Angry With the World’
This dude isn't just your run of the mill conservative idiot, he's exceptionally stupid.
- 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.
  
  TPUSA? Toilet paper USA? Is that a shit rag or something?
- What do you expect? He was defending the oppressed businesses during a riot.
- 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.
  
  It was a meticulously crafted facade, which we sincerely hoped he would grow into.
  ...
  Kyle failed to learn a single thing.
  He doesn't appear to be the only one.
- My dad is too, but he's 55. Guess where he puts his vote
- I believe he scored so low on the USMC entrance exam that he's never allowed to pay again. Apparently it's not easy to score so low
- I got a 97/99 on the ASVAB and I am a fucking moron.
- What a boring fucking journalist. Imagine confidently typing "please make 8 words into 300" into chatGPT.

That level of irony should be illegal
- So should the accompanying level of stupidity.
  
  Conservatives, they don't send their best and brightest.
  Oh god, maybe they do.
- 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.
- It should be fatal.
  
  As soon as you say some bullshit like that? Chair to the face.
- Is it not literally hate speech?

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…
Oh, that’s good.
- Definitely gotta add that one to the lexicon!
- It's a bit self-hating white person to be honest.
  
  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.

His opinions aren't newsworthy.
- Can we agree to just vote the post to oblivion where it belongs?
- Until the left outrage the paper generated gives him enough fake credibility to actually get elected.
  
  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.
  
  Yeah best to ignore twats don't give them clicks or views. Or write articles about them lol

The public should not care what Kyle Rittenhouse thinks and we should not amplify a stupid thing he said.

Let's not give this absolute nobody media space please...
- This is the most click bait article I accidentally clicked on. I need to factory reset my phone after coming in contact with that website.

Why report, what a crying murderer thinks?
- *Fake crying
- Why, comma?
  
  Fordi det er grammatisk korrekt på mit sprog.
- Or national hero, depending on who you ask
  
  Imagine that being your hero.
  
  Yes, much like the men who stormed Normandy Beach, Kyle Rittenhouse bravely shot at people who didn't have guns while running away from them.
  Hero for sure.

I'm happy they always use the picture of him crying like the bitch baby he is

Stop giving attention to this cunt
- Dude may be a legit GOP Presidential contender one year, maybe we should stay on him?
  
  something about crosshairs?
  (beg pardon to the international audience, just trying to speak in terms that Americans will understand)

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
- If this is real then holy fuck is he dumb.
  
  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.
  
  It's not https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rittenhouse-military-enlistment-test/
- https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rittenhouse-military-enlistment-test/
  This email could be fake. There is zero verifiable evidence that Rittenhouse was permanently disqualified from serving because of a low ASVAB test score
- Good thing to point out when people argue about this "Gun Discipline"

Why are we giving this odious little twerp the oxygen of publicity?
- 'We' as in the the public because humans are addicted to drama.
  'We' as in the the media because drama brings clicks and clicks bring money.
  
  ‘We’ as in this community because the headline is fucking hilarious
  
  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.

Is he gonna pay for the passport, flight ticket, housing, etc?
I'm partly Native American, I'd like to know...
Edit: Where am I going anyways?... 🤔
- Shit sign me up, long as we can go to one of those third world countries. You know the ones with free healthcare and a liveable wage.
  
  Ah I see you like the idea of England then 🔥🔥 💯
  Nah seriously though, if someone paid me off to GTF somewhere warm and slightly less comfortable, i'd be all over that like a cheap suit.
- The kid couldn't even finish middle school. Don't worry about it.
- One of my grandmothers told me that if you know how you came from her, even if you only have a drop of her blood left in you
  You are Lakota.
  I think that applies for all the Native People of the Americas.
  
  I'm part Cherokee and part Chocktaw. The first book I read was a survival manual, at age 5. I'm soon to be 42, not like it matters.
  I hope that Cherokee, Chocktaw, Lakota, and other tribes of Native Americans can generally agree these days, the government is fucked up..
- If the British government is any example, it'd be Rwanda.
- If it's up to them, I'd assume it'd be to what they think your home country is, India.
  
  Oh shit, I totally see what you did there.
  Just take my upvote 👍
- I'd do a tradesies and go live in one of those commie European countries with universal healthcare and education

This stupid fuck doesnt deserve any more attention

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.
- There are times those of us who aren't total psychopaths are also a bit too lenient.
  
  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.
- and will never know greater awareness, just like he deserves.
  You say he deserves blissfull ignorance.
  
  No. He deserves a minute inside the Absolute Perspective Vortex.
  
  From what I understand he's damn sure ignorant, but never blissful. Like I said, a stupid hick.

STOP. GIVING. HIM. ATTENTION.
- Billionaire media money machine goes brrrrrr
- I gotta wonder if there's one of those internet laws like "The dumber the opinion, the more attention it gets"
  
  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.
  
  More dumb normalizes the regular dumb.
- I have no idea who the fuck he is
  
  A murderer that got away with it

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.

This pig faced little dweeb is the one who should leave.
- That murdering piece of shit should be in prison or dead.
  The "justice" system only encourages vigilantism by its failure.

I hope they use that thumbnail of him pretending to cry in court for every shitty article they write about him.
- The quintessential "Piss Baby"
- One day it’ll be in his obituary

Teenage murderer.

this guy is such a pussy it's unbelievable
- He's echoing sentiments white nationalists have espoused for centuries.
  Pretty sure Christopher Columbus is on record telling a native to "Love it or Leave it"
  
  Pretty sure Christopher Columbus is on record telling a native to “Love it or Leave it”
  No, he was too busy with murdering them.

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.
- Heaven forbid anyone admit to making a mistake!
  
  I think people are misunderstanding this comment.
  I think he's making fun of the idiots that continue to stick to a wrong opinion because they don't want to say they are wrong.
  
  Is murder a mistake?

he has such a punchable face, my right hand starts itching every time i see a picture of him
- Lol I was thinking this exact thing
- He'd shoot you.
  
  that little bitch would be dead before he could get his hand on the trigger.

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.

I learned something yesterday on Lemmy that completely fits here…
# Backpfeifengesicht
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.
- Not quite correct. A Backpfeife is a slap with the open hand, not a punch with a fist. But it sure does apply to Kyle either way.
- Aren't words like this basically just German phrases concatenated together?

If Kyle Rittenhouse doesn't like Native Americans he can leave.
No, wait, other countries don't want to deal with the US's bullshit.
- We don't have to send him to another country. Just put him on a raft in the middle of the ocean.
  
  great pacific garbage patch, population: nazis
- They seem to love Russia now. Send him there.

He should follow his own advice and gtfo

I vote for life in prison

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)

As a squid, I think all those filthy, stupid homo sapiens should go back to Africa where they came from.
And then up into the trees where they came from.
But say that sort of thing today and you get cancelled!
- Trees? They shouldn't have ever left the oceans if you ask me.
  
  Don't make the monkey-men our problem, Betelgeuseian.

caucasity
I learned a new word today.
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.
  
  like what midwesterners get up to when they dream up new “casseroles.”
  I'm in this picture and I don't like it
  
  It used to just mean saying/doing something from the place of ignorance or privilege of being white
  And what did you think that was rooted in?

why does he look like the body horror renditions of cartoon characters that artists would do sometimes, for comedic effect.
This dude looks like fucking spongebob.
- Ren and Stimpy closeup looking mfer
  
  just missing two crossed band-aids and a hairy pimple
  
  brutal

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 leave and not be stuck in a country with assholes like him but I can't afford it. It's like $2,500 just to renounce your citizenship.
- Unfortunately there's these kinds of assholes in every country.
  
  People: What a bunch of bastards.
- 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 mean what would happen if you just left?
  
  There are edge cases where you still need to pay/file taxes.

Is there a phrase or term that describes this type of argument?
Where instead of addressing the problem or considering it the answer is "Just leave" or "Just stop using it"...etc
It's a form of dismissiveness, but I'm sure there's a name for it.
- stop using it
  Are the MAGA crowd actively cancelling products now?
  
  Didn’t they once throw out all their bud light because it was, checks notes… woke
- I dunno, but if he ever tried to have an argument with me I’d probably just assume he was trying to provoke a fight and punch him in the face.
  He has a very punchable face. Nice and soft but it still makes this hollow ringing sound, I’ve heard.
- For this specifically, "Traitorous Critic Fallacy". More broadly, an Ad Hominem argument.
- Maybe it's a hybrid False Dilemma and a Appeal to hypocrisy?
  People have more options than taking your side, or leaving entirely. And not picking one of the two does not mean you are a hypocrite.
- Also curious.
- It's not even really an argument though, is it? So maybe 'thought terminating cliché' is appropriate

We all saw your trail of tears on the stand, kyle.

He's 21 years old & also he's gotten a lot of fame. We can't expect lots of great wisdom from him.
- He's the Ryan Lochte of whatever it is he does. Except I guess Lochte was good at something.
- I'm not going to click on any articles featuring him but I assume he's grifting the right. He'd be stupid not to.
  
  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.

Isn't this the kid that fired into a crowd? Why are we listening to anything he says again?
- Because he's a darling of the right, and really riles up the left whenever he is mentioned. It's rage clicks either way, and people are easily played.
  
  Exactly. They did this because they know it riles up the left.

Did he cry about being forced to do that too?

Maybe he can join Kristi Noem and get banned from native lands... then get caught flaunting the ban. That shit would be hilarious.

the photo they used in the thumbnail 🤣

What a stupid dumb ass

Struggling to remember if ive heard summat more stupid this year
- Trump is the only one who might top him in the "saying stupid shit" Olympics.

Technically true, they are entitled to live in Canada

wut

You just know that twerp has a little prick, and he’s mad about it.

The list grows...

Anyone can leave if they hate America.
- 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!"
  
  You forgot the part wherein your allotment is reduced by 75%
  
  Yeah that would suck. But it's still just a true statement. If Kyle Rittenhouse hates America he can leave.
  Even if Native Americans do like America they can leave.
  Anyone can leave for any reason.
  It's just a dumb...I don't know I guess it's not actually a threat. Dumb phrase.
- “Hi! I’m white and I hate you!” It’s now your problem and you should move…
