Damn, that's some nice bait you got there. In one line, you, accused people of being racist despite not even knowing what race you are, while simultaneously impling that Jews can't be Nazis. Not only that, you first baselessly accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being a racist, then also accuse them calling anyone who disagrees with them a Nazi.
It seems like you're just here to troll, but I'm up to give you the benefit of the doubt nonetheless.
Charlie Kirk was an awful person. Being glad that an awful person is dead does not make someone "a piece of shit" or "a psychopath," unless you consider the vast majority of humanity to fall into one of those categories. How many people celebrated Osama bin Laden's death? Was every one of those people, "a piece of shit," and "a psychopath?"
This moral grandstanding about violence is something I did when I was younger and it came from a place of privilege. I had no enemies, I wished no harm on anyone, anywhere. Because why would I? Any fight I came across, I had the potential to simply walk away. Pacifism is an easy position to hold when your life is secure.
But not everyone has the ability to walk away like that. For some people, it's an existential struggle with nowhere to run and no chance of mercy through surrender. Those people are, most likely going to feel that they do have enemies, people who they'd be glad to see gone. The way you're judging people so severely for that, I have to question whether you've first made an attempt to actually understand their perspective, or whether you're only considering your own experience.
There are some people who remain committed to pacifism and nonviolence even when under serious threat. They're very courageous, and often more than a little crazy, but they earn my respect. For every one of them, there's a bunch more people who use the term to claim moral superiority over everyone based on living in a (literal or metaphorical) gated community, where violence is neither useful nor tempting. Where, rather than nonviolence being a difficult sacrifice, it's more like an excuse to ignore the plight of those with backs against the wall and condemning them for struggling for survival in a morally impure way.
You strike me as the latter. Maybe I'm wrong, but if the shoe fits, wear it. And, just fyi, nonviolent shit will get you killed.
