I don't give a shit about Charlie Kirk, rest in piss, but my celebration is mildly stunted by the fact that this is a dangerous thing to normalize and this is a massive notch in that direction given how huge of a public figure he was and the nature of his assassination being so public.

Of course, the right is largely responsible for that normalization, and Charlie Kirk's death is actually on people like Charlie Kirk's very hands. However, for me its just the consequences and the dark future that this seems to push us further into.

Hopefully the right fails to capitalize on his death effectively and we move onto largely forgetting about the piece of shit.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 hour ago

Exactly who could have one iota of care for a shitstain who made a living spewing this type of hateful screed. Rest in Piss indeed.

Your last sentence is what I've been worried about as well. We all know Trump is a blathering idiot, but he's chomping at the bit to use military powers on US soil, and so far has been with no real reason. He could very easily use this as an excuse to further deploy troops and/or push more of his fascist agenda.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 9 points 2 hours ago

He doesn't need an excuse though. He's going to do it no matter what happens. There is absolutely no hope he won't, just because you don't make a fuzz about it. It's not like he's just now thinking: "well now they've done it! They've gotten violent! I gotta make concentration camps, and use military personel and weapons to quell their protests, and maybe even attack the whole democratic process!". He's already doing it.

How do you unfuck this mess?

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 points 30 minutes ago

Same lesson the South had to learn in the late 19th century.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

One side cannot unilaterally declare peace. We've tried for years and they made it clear the terms of peace are to redefine it so their violence against innocents is peace in absence of opposition.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Not have Trump as president right now is a small first step.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Historically? With extreme violence, let's hope we do better this time but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Comical to me how many people in soooooo many posts about this just HAVE to go out of their way to note they aren't celebrating or some blah blah about any human dying.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

Voluntary censorship; this is the world we live in now.

[–] Geldaran@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

They want pity and/or retribution for him for him, then there's a list he needs to get on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Hortman

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 29 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

OK, honestly I’m not going to celebrate a murder. But nothing can stop me from appreciating the heck out of the irony.

Some losses are a hard gut punch, others are a mild tickle

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

Yes. I cannot willingly be gleeful of another's death. Physically can't.

A cashier told me in glee when he had been shot. I thought that moment was so representative of where we are now.

Hateful cunts finally getting consequence On one hand, but gleeful at another humans death. Odd feeling.

Systems are broken. Rise in political violence. Tale as old as time..

I remember every single time someone they didn't like died. They would rejoice in the most vile manner imaginable. Fuck them.

I am betting that Kirk's killer was a fellow conservative who found him too soft and not hard right enough.

Or... maybe it was the same guy who killed Brian Thompson... because Luigi is innocent.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly I wonder how much they're going to steer that narrative, even if it was a conservative.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 4 points 2 hours ago

I just read somewhere that... well maybe this was an inside job? The reason being is that since Trump's creepy as fuck birthday letter became public, he needed something big to distract and shut down discussion so he had Kirk shot?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine they end up framing luigi for this too

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 25 minutes ago

The corrupt prosecution will probably insist that the shooting would not have happened if Luigi didn't shoot Brian Thompson (he didn't do that) even if the two murders are entirely unrelated.

[–] elbiter@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

I'm not celebrating, it's just a routine champagne toast. I do it every time a fascist dies of unnatural causes.
