You literally said a human being deserved to be shot in the throat in front of everyone for saying words. How far is your head up your own ass.
Can u even call him a human? He was a piece of shit who got what he deserved.
This way lies madness.
Yes, he was a human being. With all of the associated rights, responsibilities, and various other baggage that comes attached to that. Dehumanization of the other is exactly what leftists are upset at conservatives over, and is what leads to situations like present day Palestine and Israel, where people are killed en masse with no remorse. The IDF is reportedly having fun murdering civilians. The only way that happens is that they are taught these Palestinians are not people, they are animals. This is what it leads to.
Was Charlie Kirk a piece of shit scum fucking loser who deserved exactly what he got? Yeah, absolutely. I will not shed a single tear over this man's passing and I wish they shot him an additional time in the knees first.
But he was also a human being. No matter how disgusting our opponent we should not stoop to dehumanization. If we must kill them we must kill with a heavy heart. To do otherwise is to dehumanize yourself.
There is no need for heavy heart on justified killing, he was actively speaking in favor of limiting other peoples freedom and spreading hate all around him where ever he went. Only thing he was good at was deflecting questions and points that went against he's believes. Hell, he's legacy will most likely be used to fuel the hate even more.
We should not feel bad about the death of some purely evil people. The world will be a lot better place without him. Sure dehumanization should not be extended to civilians or masses of people but rather on some individual people who are full of hate and evil to the core.
