"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023
Too soon?
It is not.
But he doesn't know that. Don't ruin it for him.
Just in time
Be careful, celebrating too much will get your comment taken down by mods.
Can’t be happy about dead Nazis.
If he dies, I will legitimately cheer.
The news already brightened my day.
He's literally called for attacks on trans people as well as other marginalized groups. He was one of many who were laughing at assaults on liberals and the left. He and others have actively caused harm and death.
Fuck'em. I won't "directly" call for violence, but I will engage in shaudenfruede. They can taste their own medicine.
Genuinely asking so I don't have to wade through a cesspool... Do you have some sources I can scour through?
copying a different comment, but there ya go. there are absolutely more examples to look for too, but i am not going through a dead nazi's history rn, too busy having a good time.
He died. Cheer away!
Good riddance!
This is what happens when violent and hateful rhetoric is allowed to be aired freely under the guise of "good Christian values", while voices calling for checks notes being nice to other people are silenced. We all know that sowing division absolutely rakes in the profits, so do the math on who benefits from that.
This is not a right or left issue. This is the tolerant refusing to tolerate the intolerant after nothing else has worked.
The last chance to recover this was gone when Biden failed to uphold it against Trump and his followers after Jan. 6. Now Trump is back and throwing the last vestiges of law and order away. You need to accept that we're not going to vote our way back to normalcy.
The heritage foundation skull fucked the corpse of the social contract unfortunately.
I'm getting dressed so I can buy a bottle of wine as we speak. The only good Nazi...
Nah. We're focusing on removing things that are in direct contrast to instance-wide rules (directly advocating violence).
How did my removed comment directly incite violence?
checking. Wasn't me.
I don't remember comments getting removed when Brian Thompson was killed
I don't understand why they are so careful, no ones taking any of the social media sites with nonstep threats of violence against liberals all day, leftists always cater to the right to be nice while the right steps on them
Exactly. I'm tired of taking the high road or "being the better person" while monsters like him actively call for my death on a near daily basis.
This trans bitch is going to get a cake and put "The only good nazi..." on it.
Nice people still believe that tolerating the intolerance works.
It fucking doesn't.
My only regret is that it took me decades to actually understand that. I always believed that being nice and compassionate to others, no matter how much they hate would eventually woke out. It doesn't.
Now I tell cunts to eat a dick immediately, no more wasting time being nice.
"and all the bigots go get fucked"
Ironically, this assassin literally justified the 2nd Amendment. You use it to off tyrants. And boy they sure did.
But this guy wasn't even a tyrant. He was just a fucking pawn. And there's going to be somebody else ready to step in and take his place.
This doesn't solve anything. It just gives the right a much needed distraction and the illusion of having an excuse to crackdown hard on the left. They would have done it either way, but this basically buys them cover.
Right? They've been treating the left so fairly this whole time and now we went and made them mad
*Edit - I misread OP's comment, and jumped on the wrong part.
Learn your fucking history. We hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Kirk did. Kirk was guilty of crimes against humanity. He's guilty of incitement to genocide.
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Streicher
So was this guy put on trial or was he just executed (allegedly by a civilian sharp shooter) during a time when the president keeps making false claims about needing to militarize American cities due to a lack of law and order?
Funny you bring up this guy going to Nuremberg bc I was actually just thinking the other day how different history might have turned out of we'd actually put the major players like Hitler or Mussolini on trial in front of the rest of the world.
Obviously this was a case of vigilante justice. But the man made his whole living trying to incite genocide against innocent people. The US government just blew up a boat full of Venezuelans, murdering them without trial, on the accusation of them being drug smugglers. Our closest ally, Israel, routinely executes people without trial for doing far less than what Kirk did.
The 2nd Amendment is always cited as being to protect against tyranny. That obviously entails extrajudicial violence. If there is ever a valid use for extrajudicial violence, it's in the prevention of genocide. The president will do all the evil he was going to do anyway. But he's a fascist, of course he's going to do that.
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to shed a tear for this guy. His last words were an attempt to incite violence against a minority group. If there is a Hell, he's burning there right now.
Those who live by the sword will die by the sword. He got exactly what was coming to him.
Show me any of these fascists being tried and convicted in a fair and just court, and I'll believe you.
"Don't fight back against Nazis or they'll get angry and start a crackdown? "
Lost me at
Right, so…someone bought them cover from all that accountability that is going around from the…democrats, or the Supreme Court, or the military, or?
The US has been at that point for months already. Fascists will find OR manufacture any excuse they want to do their fascist things. They don't need pretexts.
To quote Jesus: live by the sword, die by the sword.
That’s all that comes to mind.
These people who have been pushing for getting rid of trans people and throwing immigrants in concentration camps, and generally just calling for (and profiting from) hate need to realize doing so only has one consequence: more hate. Hate boils into violence.
People can pray for him, but he did not live a life according to Jesus’ teaching when he preached hate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk
Just in case there was ambiguity for anyone, he suggested we kill homosexuals, and ban life-saving healthcare for trans people.
He was literally debating trans people as mass shooters when shot according to the reports I read.
yep, it was perfect timing. well, technically, he was just starting to run away towards racism (the bullet hit when he was trying to pivot to gang violence to avoid answering how many cishet white boys do shootings a year).
The important takeaway here is, we know he'd be happy to have been shot. I think that victim statement should be taken into account in the eventual trial.
It's just... too poetic. I wish we weren't here as a country, and that's so heartbreaking, but we've been heading here for years if not decades.
He became the sacrifice he hungered for, good riddance
LMAO what a quote.
