    Ah, the double standards of fascists: they can be absolute cunts, but everyone must be super nice and considerate to them.

      the kind of respect that the right demands is the respect of an authority and superior. the maximum respect that the right gives is the respect of a human. but if you’re in the out-group then more is demanded of you and less is given. it’s very contradictory but also self-consistent because they truly feel superior, and truly feel you are subhuman. you don’t need to bow down to subhuman logic if you are of the superior species.

    Let me quote your idol’s second favorite book, Laura:

    “good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells.”

    ― Donald J. Trump, Trump: The Art of the Deal

    You, your boy DJT here and hell, even Charlie Kirk himself, got famous by acting like complete fucking ghouls. “Making people famous” for acting ghoulishly won’t have the effect you think it will.

    Did she really spend her night doing that? Or maybe just downing a few glasses of wine and some prescription meds (wink, wink) and doing whatever nasty people do? We may never know. Why would she care anyway? Were they BFFs or something?

    People condemning “political violence” and sending “thoughts and prays” to Kirk are really telling on themselves that they only care when a peer who shares their class interests even if they occasionally cared dies.

    I gotta say, cheering on the death of somebody you hate is one thing. Cheering on the death of a poor drug addict murdered by police is a very special kind of evil.

        More importantly, he tried to purchase something with a counterfeit $20 bill. Which we all know is far worse than all the deaths Charlie Kirk was directly responsible for.

          No he legally tried to purchase something with a 2 dollar bills. And the dumb fuck cashier or whatnot thought they were fake. That is the way I heard it.

        But did he wish them harm? Was the woman pregnant? Did he actually point a gun at anyone? What were the charges for his 5 year sentence? Does it justify being choked to death in the street by police?

      It’s worse and worse the more you think about it…

      George Floyd was murdered by the police, a group that’s supposed to protect and serve the public. George himself contributed money to their salaries (as we all do), and they killed him in cold blood as he begged for his life.

      We don’t know why Charlie was shot, but the biggotry and hatred he permeated far and wide into this country is his legacy. Imagine leaving this sort of quote (below) behind. What a legacy to leave…

      “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage.”

      • Charlie Kirk (Oct. 12, 2022)

      He then died in the middle of a “debate” where he was incinuating that all trans people are violent and disturbed.

        “In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trails 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

      It’s actually, sadly, quite easy. In her mind there are no shades of grey, no systems, no circumstances. There are people who are Good People and people who are Bad People, and which people are which is self-evident and not as related to their actions as you might think. It’s just a case of identity. They’re Good when they do bad things, and Bad People are bad even when occasionally doing good.

      And so celebrating the death of a Bad Person is honorable, obviously, and celebrating the death of a Good Person is sickening and deplorable. Clearly.

      And if I agreed that this was the way the world was, I’d probably agree with her. Unfortunately for me, that seems fucking nuts.

        I mean this dynamic is not only found on the right. Many Lemmings seem to be caught up in the same mode of thinking.

        I hope we can all agree that people suffering and dying, in isolation, is bad. Obviously the implications of a death can vary widely and that’s where things get complicated. But the basic moral principle should be widely shared.

          I think the current moral question society is wrestling with is along those lines. Something to the effect of, how removed from the outcome of a decision does one need to be in order to absolve themselves of responsibility for that outcome? Essentially, why is it OK for a CEO or a President to cause thousands of deaths by signing a piece of paper but not OK for that same person to go out and shoot those thousand people one at a time? The outcome is the same there’s just more obfuscation along the way in the first case. The greed motivation seems to be the difference. The CEO isn’t usually killing people because he wants them dead, he’s doing it because he views them as acceptable casualties in his quest to make money.

          Charlie Kirk is a great example of that phenomenon as well. He may not have directly shot anybody but he undoubtedly influenced people towards doing exactly that. To what degree should he bear the blame for their actions? He certainly didn’t do it in complete ignorance of the possibility that people could die but does the separation from the actual crime make his actions morally acceptable? Does it make any difference if his motivations were money and power as opposed to bigotry and hatred?

        Oh yea the “Good Person” who literally died the moment he was using outright lies to denigrate trans people and minorities - whom he felt should be eradicated, just as Hitler did.

          That’s all part of it. Those people all fit under “bad people”, and it’s up to “good people” to protect society from them.

          It makes more “sense” if you think of Jack Bauer as being a guide to morality.
