Hi, please add alt text to this post, see 0.5 in the sidebar, thx ^^
The world is a better place when there are fewer horrible people in it.
That’s just math.
Addition by subtraction.
You really see who is who when you say you wish others like him also died.
Some men improve the world only by leaving it.
Y’all need to stop worrying about performative leftists and start worrying about the speed running fascists.
sadly, pretty sure most of america is coping on a “return to normal” (especially those greedy self-serving establishment politicians) that’s not coming, when trump dies.
shit needs to get here sooner rather than later to snap the illusion with time to spare
Seen a lot of people that loved to say “only good Nazi is a dead Nazi” upset that someone killed a Nazi
I’m glad Kirk is gone, I’ll never not be happy about that, I think it’s objectively good. But I think it’s still important to recognise that it’s very shitty that he did end up a miserable little cunt who was better off dead.
Mostly though, I’m just worried about how celebrating death makes it seem like a virtue we’d want or accept in a new society. Revolution at a necessary cost, don’t get me wrong, but we shouldn’t celebrate the cost itself. I think it’s totally okay to celebrate the end result, “the problem of Charlie Kirk is now solved” or something lol, but the method was both objectively awful and necessary.
Murder is a tool as all violence is, but we should it treat as what it is: a horrible one we’re forced to use to attain liberation and thus ultimately a form of violence inflicted upon us. After a revolution, I think it’s best left behind in this shitty fucking world we all hate.
Regardless, get fucked Kirk, good riddance and rest in piss you slimey little cunt.
those “perfomative leftists”" are probably right wingers that are too embarrsed to be fully open with thier beliefs.
I’m not sad he’s dead. I hate how he died because it’s giving cover to their acceleration of their fascism.
Which is ridiculous because nothing has changed, they’re still doing exactly what they were doing when he was alive.
This idea that you can never do anything or the fascists might use it as an excuse to do what they’re already doing is one of the most infuriating thing about Americans.
This. Trying to be nice and quiet so they won’t keep doing what they always do is the mentality of a battered spouse.
The fact they’ve turned MAGA on MAGA violence into a false flag against the left shows that they will use ANY opportunity to target political opposition and justify the accelerationism they were already doing.
They were probably expecting far more protests, and protest violence, by now against ICE, nat guard, etc. Might as well use MAGA terrorism to justify what they planned to do all along with ICE terrorism; potato, potatoe.
Not really. This has given the mainstream media cover to lionize and normalize his hate, and has muted criticism of further crackdowns the Trump admin is now planning. Yes, they were always going to try but this makes it more likely they succeed.
It’s also been a huge distraction from other important issues.
This has given the mainstream media cover to lionize and normalize his hate,
You mean like they’ve been doing for decades, since Trump was a TV personality? Trump has always been treated with kid gloves. He’s the dipshit who started the “birther” conspiracy against Obama.
No, the sycophancy for Charlie Kirk we’re seeing right now is unlike anything I’ve seen before.
Also, the media has frequently and harshly criticized Donald Trump, though we’re seeing less of that in term 2 as he’s tightening his grip on power. If anything it would have been better to just ignore him and maybe he never would have gotten anywhere. But obviously that’s hindsight.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but this is not a new thing. It’s just becoming more obvious.
It’s not new but this is making it worse, that’s all I’m saying. Leftists are already widely maligned and feeding that fire is more dangerous than people want to admit.
They’re openly calling for the end to the 1st amendment now, and not getting pushback.
Yes, this was always the plan, but the assassination gives them.cover to do it now instead of doing it slowly over the course of years. That means that by the time the next election comes around, being a registered Democrat will get you on a terror list.
So WTF were leftists supposed to do instead? Have a psychic premonition that a deranged groyper was gonna shoot Kirk and jump in front of the bullet?
it’s giving cover to their acceleration of their fascism.
they didn’t need and don’t care about cover for what they’re doing.
Cover be damned they were gonna do it anyway. Unless you want to overthrow the government or abandon the democratic party for one that is actually willing to oppose fascism it won’t matter what cover they are given.
I don’t disagree, but I’m not white and I know for a fact that if I said something like that in public I’d immediately increase 10x the chance of getting shot by some unhinged white dude. In fact, a lot of the “he didn’t deserve to die” is not actually genuine, its more like a fear of reprisal since the US no longer has true free speech.
