If you were so sure it was Nazi you shouldn't have lead with "Only difference between now and the past is white wealthy men are the targets. Watching them freak out when they are gunned down on a random Wednesday is laughable." and then spent the whole arguing why this murder is justified.
That's was my point: that thinking is how Nazis acts, not progressives, and that by applauding this you are making it easier for people to claim the left are the violent ones and playing right into their propaganda.
The fact that you are relieved it was potentially Nazis tells me that deep down inside you know this was bad for business, so thank you for spending another toilet break to follow up on this.
Lol yes I stand by every word. Want to know my next prediction? They killed him because the wanted to start a race war. In a just world Kirk would have never have been platformed and given millions to lie about other races, ethnicities, gender, and religion. In a just world Kirk would have been thrown in jail for inciting violence. His death was injustice. But because of his actions and others just like him and yourself his outcome was inevitable. It is celebrated, yes. Ridiculed, yes. Hell, how murder was so predictable Kirk was wearing a bullet proof vest. He should have taken all the hints and examples from his past and put more love and acceptance of into the world. Then maybe he would have never would have caught the eye of those willing to do violence... Remember 2+2=4? And look at all the people just like him and yourself. Backflips to save face? Or Idk what is going through yalls head. Actions have consequences. His actions equaled his death. Because once you throw your lot in with everything modern day conservatives, capitalist, neo-liberals, and bigots beliefs you only have yourself to blame when those same ideals are focused on yourself for even a second is just a fraction of the pain he put out into the world. If it didn't happen to him last Wednesday or within his lifetime, it was going to happen to anyone who picked up his fight. 2+2=4. Keep acting like the equation is the problem and we'll never advance as a species.
And yes. Squeezed a few out while typing this. Because you and people like you are the problem. And I truly hope you wake up and influence those who actually are going to end up just like Kirk. It's going to happen. If not tomorrow, definitely/predictably/ inevitably this is the outcome. You need to change if you want to save yourself or those that want to follow you.
My final question and comment to you is, will you? I did. The black and brown communities did. Women did. Poor communities did. Hell even children have. Why not you?
