Comparing Charlie Kirk to Mussolini…

Yeah, i stand with my comment. You need better mental health care.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Someone with more time than me could easily do an entertaining mashup of Kirk and Mussolini quotes

How many people did Charlie order to kill? Since when was he the dictator of America? Please do enlighten me, because clearly you know so much more then i do…

Charlie's job was propaganda. He laundered the fascist ideology into mainstream discourse. If my coworker said some of the awful shit Charlie said, I'd just think he was a racist piece of shit, but I wouldn't celebrate his murder (nor would I mourn it). But Charlie had an audience of millions, and was paid handsomely to spread his fascist propaganda. I opened my nicest bottle of scotch when I heard the news.

Then you are just as bad as Charlie was. You just don’t have the same amount of followers.

I don't give a shit what you think of me.

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That goes both ways, don’t worry.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That makes you just as bad as Charlie Kirk 🥸

In what world is celebrating someone’s assasination the same as not giving a fuck about someone's opinion?

No wait… don’t answer that. I don’t even care how your weird brain works.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's the exact same thing, sweaty. All things are the same. Every person is the same. Every opinion is the same. Every death is the same.

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well yes, i suppose in your brain they are. Thankfully, in the real world things are different. Good day to you.

You've taught me this lesson only several comments ago. My eternal gratitude for this impartment of zen-like wisdom.

Show me a Charlie Kirk in charge of a country and I'll show you Benito Mussolini.

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You’re proving my point. Charlie was never in charge of a country, so you can’t possibly compare him to Mussolini.

Holy cognitive dissonance, Batman! That means there's nothing comparable? So, which one was the human, and which one was the golfball?

You can't compare hate-spewing fascists because they because they weren't the same RANK!

I'm honestly impressed; you've surpassed Mental Gymnastics and created Mental Parkour.

How many people did Brian Thompson directly execute? Do you also argue his hands were clean?

You need better mental health care.

you start off by saying you've always thought you're on the left

but the moment you disagree with someone, you start shit like this, which is a very common pattern of argument from right-wingers.

"I think your opinion is so wrong that it's a symptom of mental illness" is just fucking stupid. do better. or, if you refuse to do better, stop attempting the "I've always been on the left but..." shtick. it is absolutely see-through and does not fool anyone.
