I have seen so many right wingers post something along the lines of “leftists are so psychotic for being happy he was killed, we should kill all leftists in response!”
The people cheering are just honoring Charlie’s legacy.
God works in mysterious ways.
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.
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.
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
OK, honestly I’m not going to celebrate a murder. But nothing can stop me from appreciating the heck out of the irony.
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.
Literally right-wingers 24/7 are praising political violence, calling for the eradication of all Palestinians, glorifying the gunning down or running over of protestors, praising the murder of homeless people, praising the execution of minorities by cops, constantly glorifying the suicide rate of trans people, etc. Literally you can go on Twitter and find any of these right-wing accounts crying about how we shouldn’t glorify violence and read their post history and you will likely not even have to go back more than 1 day to find them glorifying violence.
Honestly I wonder how much they’re going to steer that narrative, even if it was a conservative.
I’m not celebrating, it’s just a routine champagne toast. I do it every time a fascist dies of unnatural causes.
Not wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest and all and arguing against gun control.
He was asking to be shot…
/s obvsly ffs
No empathy for this scum <3
good riddance.
I’m not going to celebrate, I simply don’t care that karma struck him so hard.
So you agree with Kirk?
I firmly believe that there are people who make the world better by dying.
The problem with this is that it will be used to increase violence against non-white cis males.
ah yes, because it’s not like they’re alrrady commiting violence. If they’re gonna try and eradicate minorities, we should at least take some of them out with us
Guess how Nazis were defeated in WW2…
Was it by peacefully protesting, and asking them to please, oh please! stop? 'Cause if it was, the american people are right on track to winning this one!
I’m almost certain you guys write replies like this with the frame of mind that it’s a clever way of wishing violence. It’s a peak reddit tier response designed to dodge moderators.
Like that wouldn’t happen without this. This belief that “if we don’t give them an excuse, they won’t make things worse” really needs to die. Fascists will do evil things, regardless of what anybody does.
They sound like a battered wife making excuses for their abusive husband.
They pretty much are.
That sounds like an argument for protecting ourselves, not that Kirks death isn’t a positive.
Like winning WWII increased violence against non-nazis?
