I’m not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.
I have empathy for lots of people even if we don’t always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk died while doing what he loved:
Being a horrible horrible person, and a blight on humanity.
He died in the midst of what he loved: a school shooting.
My reaction was just: “it sucks to suck”.
All the pearl clutching from people who openly support a man “Who could shoot someone on 5th ave and not lose a single vote.”
I’d call them hypocrites but they’re too busy praying in public to hear me.
Let me put this in a simple way. His death should not be celebrated but you shouldn’t mourn for him as well.
Just go “phew, that’s one less bigot” & move on
Well, I don’t wish ill on anybody. But when it does happen to some people, schadenfreude can be enjoyable.
Rest in piss Charlie.
Like someone else said, Kirk getting shot in the throat, in a school, possibly by a republican, while ranting about minorities, gang violence and trans people, is peak irony
“Y’all are all about ‘shoot Nazis, kill Nazis’ until a Nazi dies. Then it’s ‘Oh but that Nazi had a family.’ Fuck off.”
Right wingers: how can you celebrate a murder?
Your boos mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.
He was a monster. Without the Fourth Reich to prop him up, he would be just one random evil douchebag.
The world is a marginally better place with him gone. Well until they use it as pretext for carpet bombing blue cities.
they should bomb blue MAGA cities if they exist
Yes, we should hope that the nazis bomb those people you don’t like. Sounds quite reasonable. Like someone whose name eludes me might suggest.
Should I name a few? How about Clinton, Obama, Biden or every other president from that cancer country?
They ARE nazis that bomb brown people constantly all over the world.
US imperialism, warmongering and genocide collaboration is bipartisan.
But that doesn’t bother them OC, only now when it’s internal.
Fuck your ‘Blue states’
You all deserve what you created.
Watched it and I’m happy too.
A stranger I met on the bus today said that his cousin works with a guy who is penpals with someone who’s sister wanted to watch it for research purposes… Got a link?
YouTube randomly gave me this:
Yes, I would like for him to be next if that’s what they’re saying.

Empathy shouldn’t be selective. I get that it ‘feels good’ but it in fact makes you no better than the hate preacher.
He was a cunt. A bad person. However, we should build a society where that behaviour is not tolerated nor rewarded. Don’t like that he got murdered for it.
The irony of the whole thing though is almost comedic.
It is a bit troubling in the feelings department as a whole.
Empathy isn’t something that lasts in the face of persistent hate and intolerance. Its naturally selective in that respect. You can put it any way you like but this man received karma and if you didn’t feel satisfaction at how he ended then you must either be ignorant of his hate and intolerance or you must approve of it.
That’s the point. I am glad he is gone. But I am just against murder. Murder should not have been needed, we should have had a better society were people like him cannot flourish.
Not feeling bad about the situation is nowhere near as bad as actively trying to make the lives of minorities worse. Shame on you for even implying they are equitable.
Well mate, read again. He was a despot. I am glad he is gone. However, murder shouldn’t be the way. Society should be better than this.
Shame on you for not reading
Weird, when I commented on this I could’ve swore that I read that if you laugh at his death you’re just as bad as he was. It was the whole reason I said what I said.
I don’t think you edited this, did you?
Nah mate, I didn’t edit it. I rather be the full bitch if I am one.
My bad then probably responded to a different comment or something
It’s so fucking hard for me to even begin to disagree with you. I want to feel empathy for this human being but for fuck’s sake… you can feel the irony and hypocrisy…
he thought empathy was fake, don’t give him any lmaooo
but I believe in empathy. since when do i let people like charlie kirk tell me what to feel and think? fuckin never is when.
200 people die in the USA to gun violence each day and no one cares enough to learn their names.
This guy helped perpetuate that.
So, you know, feels wrong to give him more than the other 200.
Its not about empathy. Its one thing to be indifferent. I am indifferent. I didnt like him, I thought his way of debating was disingenuous. Not giving a shit that he died, is where everyone should be who didnt like him. This glee, this joy, this is not normal. This is sign that a lot of people have been radicalised by their echo chambers.
And worse, now they are calling for others to be murdered. People like JK Rowling. Theres fucking crimes being committed everywhere, all under the guise of “they are nazis!”. The exact same shit Putin said to justify his attack on Ukraine. Theres just something so wrong in peoples heads now. Social media has fucked a lot of people brains.
I can never actually rejoice in it. I avoided the video and my wife sprung it on me and like other things like this I berated her (she knows I don’t like reality gore and prefer printed news). I made comments because its a bit hard not to with mister a few killings here and there are the price you pay for gun freedom.
I’m with you, soldiers came back from war with PTSD just from seeing a dude get smoked, I don’t need to watch that shit, much less take glee in watching it.
I accept that with him gone, the movement I disagree with has been kneecapped, but damn, watching what people say is one of the most gruesome shootings…
And all us millennials who said “man I watched such dark shit on early internet”, and then to still watch Charlie get one tapped… Don’t need that image rumblin round in the noggin.
I mean I get people feelings. My thing is several things happened I don’t like. An person died. It was an extrajudicial killing. It happened while peacefully publicly speaking. However I can’t say a good man died. The things people say online is also peaceful public speaking in the sense its comparable to the public speaking of the guy who died. By his own standards he called for not having empathy, accepting gun deaths as the price of the second amendment, and having families and children be witness to executions. So I get it. Its not how I want things done but I get the online sentiment. Don’t want to see it though rather read about it. I mean I feel that way with most news but if I do want to witness video Its not see horrible things.
And all us millennials who said “man I watched such dark shit on early internet”,
I feel like, as Millennials, we never had to go far out of our way to witness something fucked up. We’re the generation that saw people jumping out the windows of the twin towers from our classroom televisions.
I consider that to have been gruesome and disturbing enough. I don’t need to see something this visceral.
And then people post shit like this here: "Russian and Chinese Bots Fueling Online ‘Violence’ After Charlie Kirk Shooting
As if it’s not ‘normal’ people not giving a fuck about some hate spreading dead nazi.
I think those bots are also on Charlie’s side, like pushing an antileft agenda, because they want us to have a civil war to damage our country.
