This whole thread might as well be a parody of what all the halfwit, ignorant, wholly unserious type of received-talking-point-parroting persons found in our pathetic silly industry would say, but this post is just the chef's kiss!
Trump killed Charlie Kirk. Keep it up everybody.

CD1 thinks that Republicans are all over the Epstein files and the Democrats had four years to release them and didn’t just because lol. It definitely had nothing to do with them being all over them too, eh?
And I’m not a republican, for the record.
That guy was a monster… Anyways, is anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

At the anti-trans sportswear brand, you mean?
Anyone who reactively posts any opinion on extremely sensitive/controversial topics on LinkedIn cannot be trusted to manage a brand’s marketing.
Yes, the guy wears his opinion on his sleeve, as well as his company.
But he’s wondering why agencies are keeping silent. Agencies are businesses. Giving opinions on politics is a surefire way to destroy a solid chunk of your client base. Not only because some of the clients may disagree with the political position, but also because the agency has now imposed its beliefs onto their clients’ brands without permission, which could spiral into an expensive PR nightmare.
So yeah, this is why ad agencies tend to be quiet.

I don’t recall any NYC agencies telling people to go home to mourn Floyd. I work at a large holding company in nyc.

Which west coast agencies weren’t fully remote when GF was killed?
How do they all seem to forget Melissa Hortman getting killed just a few months ago by a Trump supporter?
Its almost as if they don't think the lives of other people matter
Alt-alt right on alt-right crime? Please 😐
Why would you need a day to go home and mourn a man who was openly racist?
If companies condemned every shooting these days, they'd never stop condemning.
(Not even to mention the irony of Kirk advocating for necessary gun deaths in the name of 2A.)

Ah yes. Brett “does DEI make you want to die” Craig suddenly cares about gun violence. What a sad, strange man.
The guy who’s literally building a brand mocking trans people wants unity and sympathy now.
It sucks when someone dies and people mock it, huh, Mr Trans Hate?
He chose to willingly allow himself (and school children) to be sacrificed on the altar of the second amendment. Moving on…
Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers.
Imagine thinking a company reacting to a public figures death was anything other than performative. What a sad life to care about things like this
Based on the comments in this thread, most people get their information from memes.
This country is doomed.

In 2014 he wrote a book called: Collaborate or Die: How Being a Jerk Kills Ideas and Careers.
He didn’t listen to his own advice
Weren’t we all working from home when George Floyd died? It was early Covid. No one was going into an office.
That part
We won’t mourn an a-hole. PERIOD.

You shouldn’t condemn Charlie Kirk’s expression of love and no one is doing that. Charlie Kirk is being condemned for his mandates of how to love someone else legally, a role the government should not be suppressing. (That is a traditionally conservative position by the way.)
He’s also being condemned for fact-absent and openly racist statements about black women. On paper, no sitting Supreme Court justice except for maybe Roberts was more qualified at the time of admission than Kentanji Brown Jackson.
I guess we can also say she is one of 7 other justices who hasn’t committed sexual assault. That shouldn’t be a qualification, but I guess it is.

I have a small list of people not to hire because they put a ceiling on new business and revenue potential. Has nothing to do with their political views.
And it looks like we have a new member.
Genuinely asking: who is Charlie Kirk?
By telling people not to spread hateful messages
Hey Brett, that never happened. Go back to making your shitty videos and blaming others for your failures. You’ll still be a hack.
