"I’ll never understand people who enjoy trying to enrage others or what it benefits them."
Online blood feuds have been light on the ground in recent months and Kelly Slater, one of the best in the genre, has been sorely missed.
Kelly Slater’s knack for turning mundane comments into viral moments positions him as a pivotal figure in the surfing community, as evidenced by the numerous articles and discussions that follow his posts.
Just a small scroll through the files as a reminder of his genius.
“Blood feud: Slater vs Flat Earthers!”
Now, Kelly Slater is firmly back in the game with a tirade launched at Twitch streamer Steven “Destiny” Bonnell, a video gamer whose incendiary opinions, such as conservatives should for “afraid for their lives“, have turned him into a popular libertine polemicist.
Destiny, who is thirty-six, wrote on X, “This Charlie Kirk ‘memorial’ is indistinguishable from a Nazi rally and fuck anyone who wants to pretend it’s not.”

Kelly Slater, who is fifty-three and rarely takes a step backwards when it comes to matters he firmly believes in, shot back,
“Is this just shock value or are you this devoid of humane commentary? It’s really vile. I’ll never understand people who enjoy trying to enrage others or what it benefits them.”
Twenty-two thousand X users viewed Slater’s reply, 248 likes, six reposts, 10 comments although all in favour of Kelly Slater’s position on the matter.
“He’s disgusting Kelly. Don’t bother.”
“That guy isn’t worth the time trying to rationalize his opinions. As for benefits he gets paid based on engagements.”
Etc.
In this blood feud, where do you fall: Destiny or Kelly?

Slater is right, of course. Destiny is the worst sort of simpering Leftist.
“Kook and Curren” is too wordy when it could just be called “Slater”
They won.

I will say, it is nice that the “my facts don’t care about your feelings” crew is starting to get in touch with their feelings and openly acknowledges it. Very healthy.
Im just glad the sea levels didnt rise
Found a better solution to AG1. GRNS, cheaper and no artificial sweeteners.

Grok, explain this to me as if I was a kid: Okay, imagine you have a super shiny, sparkly jacket that looks like it’s made of gold, but it’s not real gold—it’s just pretend, like costume jewelry. When you wear it as a joke, knowing it’s kind of silly, it’s super fun! It’s like playing dress-up and having a good laugh with your friends.But if someone thinks that sparkly, fake-gold jacket is the absolute best and most stylish thing ever, it shows they might not be very creative. They’re only liking what’s already there, not dreaming up new ideas or imagining cooler things that could exist in the future. It’s like they’re stuck loving only what’s old or already popular, instead of thinking up something new and exciting!
Kitsch ain’t so bad!

I chose not to participate anymore really, all the cunts in the world have made me tired.

One more time!
That’s what I say every time I root my bandmate, it’s going to end in tears but the art is good!

Stevo is basically correct.
Many parts of Miller’s speech was lifted straight from Goebbels.
That wasn’t a memorial, that was a political rally.
Nazi or Christian, y’think?
Christofacist.
hey now, Goebbels was a husband and a father!
Itd be kinda ironic if the jews fled to Germany
