Can’t be happy about dead Nazis.
If he dies, I will legitimately cheer.
The news already brightened my day.
He's literally called for attacks on trans people as well as other marginalized groups. He was one of many who were laughing at assaults on liberals and the left. He and others have actively caused harm and death.
Fuck'em. I won't "directly" call for violence, but I will engage in shaudenfruede. They can taste their own medicine.
He deserves the same amount of empathy he would give any of us. Absolutely zero
Genuinely asking so I don't have to wade through a cesspool... Do you have some sources I can scour through?
copying a different comment, but there ya go. there are absolutely more examples to look for too, but i am not going through a dead nazi's history rn, too busy having a good time.
He died. Cheer away!
Good riddance!
I'm getting dressed so I can buy a bottle of wine as we speak. The only good Nazi...
literally went out and got some cabernet sauvignon! i'm no wine connoisseur, but i felt like i needed something to mark the occasion
He's dead. I hated him but I can't cheer.
This is too violent, too awful for the country I grew up in. I am sad not because I give a shit about a dirtbag like Kirk, but that we are now losing Rule of Law and the social contract. We are falling as a nation, and this is just one more domino in that process. They made this world for us but they're not the only ones who are going to suffer from it.
We lost that when we failed to jail Trump after his felony convictions, which came after the failure to convict him in the senate of supporting an insurrection.
Exactly.
As well as not putting every Jan 6th insurrectionist in prison.
None of us are openly spewing hate upon other people because we have empathy. Something the right doesnt believe in.
This is what happens when violent and hateful rhetoric is allowed to be aired freely under the guise of "good Christian values", while voices calling for checks notes being nice to other people are silenced. We all know that sowing division absolutely rakes in the profits, so do the math on who benefits from that.
This is not a right or left issue. This is the tolerant refusing to tolerate the intolerant after nothing else has worked.
The last chance to recover this was gone when Biden failed to uphold it against Trump and his followers after Jan. 6. Now Trump is back and throwing the last vestiges of law and order away. You need to accept that we're not going to vote our way back to normalcy.
Absolutely agree, every single person involved in that coup attempt should have been paraded around in orange jumpsuits and shackles and publicly shamed before being locked away for however many years traitors get in prison.
The next slap in America's dying face was the Supreme Court granting our king, I mean president, full immunity for whatever the fuck he wants to do.
Now that people are starting to realize we don't have a system anymore, we're going to see more and more violence as the country continues to decay.
The heritage foundation skull fucked the corpse of the social contract unfortunately.
This is where I am at exactly
Good news!
Nah. We're focusing on removing things that are in direct contrast to instance-wide rules (directly advocating violence).
How did my removed comment directly incite violence?
checking. Wasn't me.
I don't remember comments getting removed when Brian Thompson was killed
I don't understand why they are so careful, no ones taking any of the social media sites with nonstep threats of violence against liberals all day, leftists always cater to the right to be nice while the right steps on them
Exactly. I'm tired of taking the high road or "being the better person" while monsters like him actively call for my death on a near daily basis.
This trans bitch is going to get a cake and put "The only good nazi..." on it.
Nice people still believe that tolerating the intolerance works.
It fucking doesn't.
My only regret is that it took me decades to actually understand that. I always believed that being nice and compassionate to others, no matter how much they hate would eventually woke out. It doesn't.
Now I tell cunts to eat a dick immediately, no more wasting time being nice.
Is the censorship that bad here? I switched to this platform because reddit is handing out bans for everything these days and tought this place is more free.
it is. generally. world isn't the best, i specifically sub to different news communities than the ones on world, but it beats reddit. not that that is hard to do.
