Just like idk I feel like every single person with a name attached who is doing the "free speech activist :'(" slowjerk over the "horrible" violence committed against Charlie Kirk should be remembered for that and actively dumped on at absolutely every opportunity, just sayin'

My response is that this happens everyday to innocent Palestinians and they have more value than a venom spewing piece of shit that makes it his life's duty to help make your lives worse

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 68 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Every single day in this country someone dies directly because of the political decrees of the ruling class. Political violence is an every day occurance, its just normalized.

Charlie Kirk didn't die because he was exercising "free speech." He was a war profiteer in the class war. He profited of the rise of open fascism as a paid agent of a billionaire.

This being America I doubt the shooter had a coherent political view. But this is ulitmately a result of deteriorating conditions, that Kirk profited off helping create.

My response has just been extremely obtuse.

"Charlie Kirk was shot"

"Who?"

"He's a political commentator"

"Oh. I've never heard of them. Where did this happen?"

"At a college"

"Oh another school shooting in America? That's bad. They should really do something about the guns"

[–] mudpuppy@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

people calling it a school shooting are so gross

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Well it is technically a shooting that occurred in a school, thankfully there were no human casualties. Very lucky that bullet landed in a pile of garbage and not a living being with a soul. I hope the shooter gets several hours of community service for unlawful discharge of a firearm,

"he had a wife and kids" fuck him so did ~~hitler~~ goebbels

also workshopping "great their mother can actually find them a good father now" what do you all think?

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 7 points 22 hours ago

A woman without charlie kirk is like a fish without a bicycle

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 day ago

Charlie once said that if he had a 10 year old daughter that was r*ped and got pregnant, he would make her deliver the baby. His kids are better off without him.

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"He had a wife and kids."

I don't care. Fuck his wife and I hope his kids grow up to be better people than he was. That's what you get for living the life of a cumrag.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago

I would simply not marry somebody who, by being removed, makes the world a better place.

[–] StarkWolf@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was also thinking along these lines, but the more I think about it, growing up being told your father was murdered by the evil woke leftists or whatever might make you turn out not so great shrug-outta-hecks

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 7 points 22 hours ago

Unless they hate him, which is not impossible.

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

So they're likely to grow up being just as brainwashed as if they were going to daddy's "owning woke leftists" events every week shrug-outta-hecks

Ah well

[–] Futterbinger@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

I would go with "Having Charlie Kirk for a father is child abuse."

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

"great their mother can actually find them a good father now" what do you all think?

um this precludes her from finding them a good mother

edit: sorry polycules exist nvm

I've been saying his wife and kids are better off without him

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Hitler had kids? are you talking about the Boys From Brazil lol

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Whoops you're right, I was thinking of Goebbels. Goebbels was the propaganda guy so it's more apt anyway

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 60 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have seen a few of these posts, and not a single one had rightoids expressing gratitude for the empathy. Every rightoid reply accuses the liberal of having cause this. Sometimes that's the entire reply, just "YOU CAUSED THIS frothingfash " with no reasoning. I don't understand why libs think they need to take the high road. Especially here. Charlie Kirk was a fascist and even if he were not a fascist, he would still be a stupid asshole. People that are sad about this because they liked Charlie Kirk on any level ought to be ridiculed. Fuck Charlie Kirk.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Being a leftist is so gratifying sometimes like when rightwingers try and pull a "you caused this" during times like these I can honestly say, "I fucking wish," and tell them to fuck off with their virtue signaling. Yeah, throw that back in their face. Feels fucking amazing.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago

"Damn, I caused this? Guess you should watch your mouth around meedgeworth-shrug"

170 brajillion percent

[–] footfaults@lemmygrad.ml 43 points 1 day ago

Real "violence is not supposed to happen to our class and position in society" vibes from the manufacturing consent factories (news media, social media, etc)

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 80 points 1 day ago (3 children)

My thoughts on this "We can't have political violence 🥺" things is just , spare me the theatrics.

Amerikkka kills political figures all across the world, they can fuck off with this "woe is me" bullshit.

All the liberals have to do is say nothing and if they're criticized for saying nothing just point out how Kirk's own ideology pushed for policies that allowed for what happened

instead they said something

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Looking PURELY at life and death matters, he was an antivaxxer whose rhetoric and speech certainly convinced people to not get vaccinated who then subsequently died from preventable causes. His death robs him of the opportunity to continue to spread poisonous language, and the world will be better for it.

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

It's infuriating but that's the point. They know it is. They paint the hateful crackers as saints but won't even acknowledge the unjust murder of a brown-skinned family facilitated by people like Charlie Kirk. So when this happens, make sure you celebrate long and hard and rub it in their little faces.

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 52 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The dude spent every fucking day normalizing a society that harbored a wildly one-sided class war, where violence is only tolerated when it moves in one direction. It was literally his whole entire job to make it okay for the worst people alive to sow incalculable death and misery, and make it unacceptable to retaliate against it in any capacity.

So really, I just can't feel like this is anything but a fitting outcome.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

shrug-outta-hecks He must have simply fell out of God's favor. The smuglord did not deflect the bullet like he did trump-drenched. In the, end the 2nd Amendment proved him wrong.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

It always irks me, that fascists believe in god, so everything is pre determined. So fascists should calm the fuck down, the right things are happening and the right people will win

Hilarious seeing people compare kirk dying to the Reichstag Fire 🤣 today is a day I wish I had a twitter account

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago

For libs, just say that Charlie Kirk thought Biden stole the 2020 election and TPUSA was involved in Jan 6th. Kirk only began distancing himself and the org from Jan 6th once it turned violent. And it's pretty obvious the org had at least some people there. If Falon Gong had their people there, it's pretty obvious TPUSA would have their people there as well.

[–] darkmode@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

A woman on the train may or may not have seen a post referring to his death on my phone and opened her NYT app and said “oh my god” out loud.

I reply yeah i just saw that. She says something about how she can’t believe it. I mention that it’s Utah, they just passed looser open carry laws, whoever did it probably just walked right in.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I've seen some alright takes about the dangers of adventurism from this but honestly it just feels like fun policing rn. Save it for next week atleast

[–] Fredward@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

I refuse to engage with this in public beyond "lol some youtuber got blapped"

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

All this is just public fear of being the first to blink and get murdered by a nazi

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (8 children)

my partner got all uppity and pissed off at me when she said no one deserves to die for using their right to freezepeach and i told her this guy did.. good thing we don't have any guns in this house

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 10 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Sure, I'll just use my freedom to spend over 80 million dollars a year agitating for my side of the class war. I'll just do this real quick. Should be easy because of freedom /s

The billionaires who oppress us paid this fascist and his giant org to spread their lies and hate speech with our stolen wages. Profits are theft and speech doesn't happen in a vacuum. The missing context is class war. The means to reach people are contested and certainly not free.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 22 hours ago

I think it's perfectly fine to do something to someone if they advocate for it but that's just me! Fuck being tolerant of nazi speech.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

Damn this freedom thing sounds important, I wonder what should happen to someone who tries to take it away from millions of people

Woke up to a shelter in place, active shooter message. School shooting in colorado, and kirk shooting. 9/11 we've. Proud to be an American

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

This guy literally argued that people getting shot is an acceptable price to pay for loose gun control. Getting shot while defending the right of people to be able to shoot him is what he would have wanted.
