“We can't continue treating people like monsters and then wondering why they have so few reservations about doing monstrous things.”
― T.J. Kirk, Neckbeard Uprising

― T.J. Kirk

“Order provides the stabilities that we crave, but chaos creates the opportunities for change that we need. [...] Those who are waiting for internal order will be the subjects of external chaos, those who yield to internal chaos will be the architects of a new order.”
― T.J. Kirk

“You are not special. You're just fucking not. You're a bland, boring motherfucker just like everybody else. You ever been to the mall and just looked in the eyes of the fellow travelers and seen how dull and lifeless their eyes are? Yours look like that too. You know why? 'Cause you're just as bland, you're just as fucking boring, there's nothing special about you. And trying to piggyback on the accomplishments of your race, or like, any fucking larger group really, is pathetic. You have to stand on individual merit and you just can't accept the fact that you suck. It's alright! I suck, Weber sucks, everyone sucks! We're all fucking shit, we suck dick, we're lame as fuck. And that's okay. That's fine.”
― T.J. Kirk

“And you know who's especially stupid? People who look at how unexceptional and bland and boring they are and say, "You know how I can remedy this? I will take solace in the accomplishments of my entire race. That way, I can draw attention away from the fact that I personally have not accomplished shit!”
― T.J. Kirk

“Freedom of speech as I define it is more than a right granted by government. It's a process that each of us must believe in and fight for. You cannot have free speech in a world where everyone wants to deplatform you, destroy you, discard you, or distort you for what you say. Freedom of speech only works to the extent that people embrace it. The "right" alone is meaningless.”
― T.J. Kirk

“If the population is dissatisfied with the condition of society, then the leaders will invariably find a symbolic issue to channel the people’s focus away from any action that threatens the powerful. 'You’re poor? That’s a real shame. Well, look at that rich NFL player who won’t kneel for the national anthem! Doesn’t that disgust you? Aren’t you pissed off about that? Pay no attention to the system that keeps you in poverty, even though you work 40 hours a week and so does your spouse. Instead, focus on Colin Kaepernick not respecting our national theme song and refusing to grovel before our national rag! Don’t be disobedient in your own interest, instead turn on someone being disobedient in his own interest! That’s the American way!'

Make no mistake, for the people upset at Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem, that fight is a moral issue. They’re genuinely incensed that someone doesn’t show proper respect for the very same country that’s fucking them over, especially when it’s someone who has it better than them. 'What does he have to complain about? He makes 20 million a year! I’m stuck in a shitty job! Fuck him!' No. Fuck the corporation who doesn’t compensate you fairly for your shitty job. Fuck the country that lets them get away with it. And most of all, fuck you for being so easily distracted by symbols and pageantry that you don’t stop to take a look at who your real enemies are.”
― T.J. Kirk

“Communism looked good on paper, you know' — but how many people who say that even know what communism looks like on paper?”
― T.J. Kirk

“I'm tired of 'pretentious' just being used as an excuse to dismiss anything that fucking expects you to have a brain.”
― T.J. Kirk

“Now let me ask you all a question, what's more pathetic and sad to you? A bunch of poor black people who listen to rich black rappers rapping about their wealth, or a bunch of poor white people who listen to rich white country singers singing songs about how much they love being broke rednecks?”
― T.J. Kirk

“I never understand these "the south will rise again" people. Again? It never rose before. It tried to and Lincoln stomped its ass.”
― T.J. Kirk

“We act as if a left-wing agenda is something we should disavow. Of course we don't have an agenda, only the bad guys have an agenda! Yes, you're right, right now, only the bad guys have an agenda. That's why they're winning.”
― T.J. Kirk

“A person who hates his country does not have an agenda for his country.”
― T.J. Kirk

“Ours is the God who only got the job because his brother runs several successful universes.”
― T.J. Kirk

“Do not refer to me as an Edge Lord. You must call me The Exalted Emperor of Edge. Or, if we're friends, you can just call me Your Edgecellency.”
― T.J. Kirk

“So, I found my refuge in art. I could find no truth in art, but I was obsessed with the beauty of its lies. The world was full of shit in all the wrong ways, but in art I could find whatever line of bullshit most satisfied me. And unlike religion, it didn’t require the gullibility to actually fall for it, only the ability to entertain it, and to be entertained by it.”
― T.J. Kirk

“The 1.2 billion members of the church are expected to conduct themselves according to the morals foisted upon them by said church, but those in the church’s power structure do not hold themselves to the same standards. They don’t view themselves as beholden to the same morality as their parishioners, because they know what those parishioners don’t—that the morality they peddle is not about good or bad, it’s about maintaining power and control. So even the clergy that weren’t sexually preying on kids were defending those who did and working hard to see that predator priests were spared from the negative consequences of their insidious transgressions. The mantra of the powerful has always been: 'We are the powerful and we can do as we please. You are the subjects and you will do as you’re told'.”
― T.J. Kirk

“I cannot be stopped unless I am dead. Nothing else can stop me. As long as no one has the balls to kill me, I will prevail. Each breath I draw, even if it's followed by a smoker's cough, is a victory. This world will beat me one day, but not today. Not until the day I die.”
― T.J. Kirk

“Muslim store clerks should sell alcohol and pork. Christian bakers should bake gay wedding cakes. Everyone should do their fucking job.”
― T.J. Kirk

“To describe him as a sniveling rat would be an insult to the noble rat.”
― T.J. Kirk

“I don't hate on "both sides" to feel superior. I could feel superior on either side. I hate "both sides" to show them that there are more than two sides.”
― T.J. Kirk

“If your philosophy can be explained in a tweet, you're a moron. That's my philosophy.

Wait...”
― T.J. Kirk

“Do I want Christianity outlawed? No. Do I think humanity should turn away from it? Yes.”
― T.J. Kirk

“A clever person can tell them the truth in a way that they want to hear.”
― T.J. Kirk

“No one accomplishes anything if they decide before they begin that the task is too difficult. I'd rather attempt the impossible and fail than consign myself to failure before even making the attempt.”
― T.J. Kirk

“And how can evil be the mere absence of good? Is genocide the absence of something, of what? Of kindness? Were there no kind Nazis? Of love? Were there no Maoist revolutionaries who loved their families? Evil is an act, we commit evil proactively, it doesn't simply emerge in the absence of good. When you don't put a dollar in the donation tin in the front of the convenience store it doesn't mean that an ax murderer was created. We human beings have one set of actions described as "good" and another set described as "evil.”
― T.J. Kirk

“Okay, first of all, they don't "consider" Jefferson Davis racist, he was President of the Confederacy, his racism is not up for any sort of fucking debate. Despite the narrative of some Southern Revisionists, the Civil War was fought almost entirely on the issue of slavery. If you're the leader of the, "we think black people should be slaves" side of that war, then you're a racist — not "racist, question mark," not even "racist, period," but "racist, exclamation point" — racist!”
― T.J. Kirk

“Sorry, but when anyone self-applies the label of "patriot" I gag a little.”
― T.J. Kirk

“Two things don't need to be "equally bad" to point out that they're both bad.”
― T.J. Kirk
