I don’t give a shit about Charlie Kirk, rest in piss, but my celebration is mildly stunted by the fact that this is a dangerous thing to normalize and this is a massive notch in that direction given how huge of a public figure he was and the nature of his assassination being so public.
Of course, the right is largely responsible for that normalization, and Charlie Kirk’s death is actually on people like Charlie Kirk’s very hands. However, for me its just the consequences and the dark future that this seems to push us further into.
Hopefully the right fails to capitalize on his death effectively and we move onto largely forgetting about the piece of shit.
Your last sentence is what I’ve been worried about as well. We all know Trump is a blathering idiot, but he’s chomping at the bit to use military powers on US soil, and so far has been with no real reason. He could very easily use this as an excuse to further deploy troops and/or push more of his fascist agenda.
How do you unfuck this mess?
OK, honestly I’m not going to celebrate a murder. But nothing can stop me from appreciating the heck out of the irony.
Yes. I cannot willingly be gleeful of another’s death. Physically can’t.
A cashier told me in glee when he had been shot. I thought that moment was so representative of where we are now.
Hateful cunts finally getting consequence On one hand, but gleeful at another humans death. Odd feeling.
Systems are broken. Rise in political violence. Tale as old as time…
Not wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest and all and arguing against gun control.
He was asking to be shot…
/s obvsly ffs
I remember every single time someone they didn’t like died. They would rejoice in the most vile manner imaginable. Fuck them.
I am betting that Kirk’s killer was a fellow conservative who found him too soft and not hard right enough.
Or… maybe it was the same guy who killed Brian Thompson… because Luigi is innocent.
Honestly I wonder how much they’re going to steer that narrative, even if it was a conservative.
I’m not celebrating, it’s just a routine champagne toast. I do it every time a fascist dies of unnatural causes.
No empathy for this scum <3
How touching! Just like how he would’ve wanted!
good riddance.
I’m not going to celebrate, I simply don’t care that karma struck him so hard.
I firmly believe that there are people who make the world better by dying.
The problem with this is that it will be used to increase violence against non-white cis males.
I’m almost certain you guys write replies like this with the frame of mind that it’s a clever way of wishing violence. It’s a peak reddit tier response designed to dodge moderators.
Guess how Nazis were defeated in WW2…
Like that wouldn’t happen without this. This belief that “if we don’t give them an excuse, they won’t make things worse” really needs to die. Fascists will do evil things, regardless of what anybody does.
They sound like a battered wife making excuses for their abusive husband.
That sounds like an argument for protecting ourselves, not that Kirks death isn’t a positive.
Like winning WWII increased violence against non-nazis?
I wonder if we will get a new wave of users as reddit has another ban wave for people laughing at this cunts neck exploding.
Literally me. Been banned there way too many times, and for a lot worse things than what I’ve said here in the past 10 hours.
I’m done with that fucking site. They love censorship.
I made a comment asking where this was when two Democrats were executed in their homes, Trump said it’d be a waste of time to show empathy, etc.
Now they’re calling timeout because they’re the target.
If you shoot politicians and billionaires instead of kids they might finally care about gun violence in the US.
The GOP senators after J6, very briefly, were shook enough to say things that didn’t come directly from the dark money groups with puppet hands up all their asses. That lasted about 12 hours before they got their marching orders.
Meanwhile, teachers across the country were doing the Buster Scruggs meme
Most likely given that we should know
imperial lackey spezReddit uses a form of AI-powered profiling on users for mods, data based mainly on personal content and types of subreddits visited.
Yep. I’ve already said this like three times on other platforms: it’s ok to be happy about this. He gave you permission. Twice, actually. The “it’s worth sacrificing a person every now and then if it means we get to have guns” and this empathy thing.
This is maybe the only time it’s ok to be happy someone died.
This is maybe the only time it’s ok to be happy someone died.
There was also that one guy who shot himself in an underground bunker in Berlin. Gun violence and suicide are never OK but sometimes they are.
There are many who believe that one guy escaped to Argentina and lived a long life.
You could also be happy in Kim Jon Un dies… maybe Putin?
I always wonder where the cut off is, how evil does someone have to be for society to accept their death with gladness?
I’m sure there’s way more than only two examples, but I’ll be fucked if I’m going to wade through his nonsense to find them.
They didn’t seem to care when it was Paul Pelosi, or the two democratic politicians that were assassinated in their homes.
LOL. Meanwhile Glen Beck is crying his eyes out on TV.
He is right, empathy is a dangerous feeling. Sometimes, it is better to feel it, and still toss it aside when it apply to assholes
I wouldn’t say he was murdered. He considered himself to be a culture warrior and when a warrior falls in battle, even if it’s a most pointless battle standing on the wrong side of history, it’s generally not considered murder.
