Charlie Kirk shot at campus event in Utah

[Mirelight]

he was a hateful asshole
but he didn't deserve to die
nobody deserves to die unless they themselves want to

Fucking educate yourself this is the information age for christ's sake; i'd never heard of the prick till yesterday but I already made you a summary holy shit

Does his propaganda really deserve my attention?
Not to question the veracity of your summary, but I simply can't get an accurate picture without dissecting arguments and cross checking sources. I think there are better ways to spend my time. The exact nature of his work is irrelevant to me, and that's also what I tried to communicate.

Your level of disrespect is unwarranted.

People debated nazis all the time. They still did the holocaust.

Remember when we won WW2 with words and kindness LOL

Are you guys brave enough to post how hilarious this murder was from your personal x or ig accounts?

They're permanently archiving your kind for future generations.

Not the intended message, but it's important to note that people are willing to threaten over these beliefs. Be careful who you confide in and be smart about it. Even if we are all suicide fools, you probably don't want to lose your life to Mr mcgregor the local football coach with an AR-15 because of Charlie fucking Kirk. Stay safe guys.

I did not like Charlie Kirk. I never heard anything that I agreed with that he said or supported. I don't otherwise know very much about him.

But he didn't deserve being shot to death as he was. His family didn't deserve that.

I don't have to say anything nice about him. I don't have to mourn him. I can say anything I want, because we do have free speech. Ironically the same free speech he had that some people say he deserved to be shot for exercising. What I can do is speak out against killing others for what they say, simply because they said it. I can also otherwise be silent about him and his beliefs because I believe in civility and decency, things that seem to be rare these days.

When the people who tell you loudly how they are the good guys cheer a sniper shot of a guy who was just talking on a college campus... I doubt they are the good guys. The good guys do not kill indiscriminately, and they don't cheer when it happens, even to their purported enemy.

In war people kill and are killed. In war. Are we at war? Has a war been declared? Stop with the Hitler stuff... if all Hitler ever did was write a book and say horrible things, then he wouldn't have deserved random sniper fire either... but Hitler was elected to lead his country and he led it down a horrible path to try and take over the world and commit atrocities along the way. In the end, ironically for this forum, Hitler took his own life in his bunker when he saw how things were going to end for him as he was losing the war he started. There is no comparison to Hitler here that makes any sense.

You don't have to like Kirk, you don't have to mourn him, but cheering his murder is chilling. Anyone who does that doesn't want to be part of a civil society. The person who shot him doesn't want to be part of a civil society. No civil person should want that. Such paths lead to horror very quickly.

I can't even with this anymore. I don't like being put in the position to even seem like I'm defending the man's views... because I'm not. I just believe in the freedoms we are supposed to have in this country to voice our views, and especially to do so without being shot in the head in public just for saying words. But I've got my own shit to deal with and the public reaction to celebrate this man being shot like that does not at all make me want to be a part of this world even if I could overcome other things. This shit just makes me more than ever certain that the world is horrible, even the people who shroud themselves in "good" are at heart evil and want to kill just as much as the others do and declare themselves righteous for doing so.

I think I'm done with this conversation now, and hopefully close to done with the world.

Why would some people suddenly defend this person? He literally reaps what he sows with his own words, he is a person of influence , he is not just some random dude. His words have more power because the world isn't a fair place so someone else took it into their hands to make the world fair again. Good riddance.

Quoting Mr. Kirk."I can't stand the word empathy, actually, I think empathy is a made up new age term and it does a lot of damage". I will respect his wishes and have no empathy for him.

 

[ConfettiSpaghetti]

him and numerous other people across the globe have actively made my life worse. they have spread nothing but misinformation and fearmongering about trans people and have contributed to the very world I live in which was resulted in me here. I don't care that he had "different opinions". I care what his opinions were and the effects they had. He contributed to a world that actively causses various groups to suffer. While I am not American, American politics has seeped into where I live and across many places in the world, largely due to social media influences like him and various organisations. One less horrible person in the world spreading vile shit that built a world pushing some people here. I'm glad at least one person will face accountability of some form before I die. Even if violence wasn't the ideal method.

 

[sheeplit]

With this and Iryna Zarutska just recently before, it could very well become an inflection point for the Right and the US as a whole. There's nothing good about this. The conversation overall seems to be shifting hard. People best be careful how they talk about this subject.

 

[ham and potatoes]

Just think, all of this could have been avoided had he not been a turd sandwich of a person.
Oh well, you preach hate long enough, it's bound to catch up with you
