Seeing a “human” being just become an unliving object is still disturbing. I’d rather he burn alive in hell.
I 100% agree. Reminded me of budd Dwyer. I’m all for gibbing and violence in video games because it’s not real but watching it IRL is a little sobering…
.(Reads what racist and xenophobic shit that he believed in). … Just a little
Don’t worry, Trump is working on that.
Normally blood and gore makes me upset. For whatever reason, I smiled the first time I saw this video. Then the next 15 times as well.
Some guy yesterday described it as all the hate he spouted had emptied that bucket of empathy a normal person would feel. There are only so many times you can hear such hateful and hurtful things that POS said before you lose the ability to feel any sympathy for them. Sorta like what he felt for everyone but just for him. In my case I felt nothing bad when I saw that video. Nor the image above.
In times like this, fascists will work to weaponize empathy. They’ll say you’re an awful person if you don’t feel bad about it. They’ll say you’re awful for shit-talking, because you lack empathy. In reality, demanding empathy from the victims of fascism is another violence against the victims that those fascists actively work to oppress.
Fascists have mastered the act of shooting and crying, then using empathy (or more specifically, the lack thereof) to demonize the same people they have been shooting at. They begin by oppressing people. When those oppressed people eventually refuse to show empathy for the fascists, the fascists claim that the people they have been shooting at are monsters. And that is used to further justify the fascists’ actions.
Don’t fucking fall for it. This is the same idea behind “the tolerant left” being coined by conservatives. It’s used as a cudgel whenever intolerance is refused, like some sort of gotcha. If you feel empathy for him, then great for you. But don’t let anyone make you feel bad for refusing empathy against an oppressor. Because the person attempting to villainize you is only working to victimize you.
I didn’t say anything about feeling empathy for kirk. He used up all of mine. I was talking about him and maga. They lack empathy. They think its toxic or they don’t believe it exist. The reason for that is simple. They lack it in full. Fascist weaponize guilt not empathy.
Please NSFW this for people who are specifically trying to avoid images of someone getting killed.
Isn’t there an NSFL tag? Idk, feels pretty obvious not to post this shit in communities that don’t commonly host gore
/u/dessalines I would suggest that community consensus should be able to apply the NSFW tag without poster or moderator intervention.
I think some “moderation actions” should be better crowdsourced beyond simple upvote/downvote system, to offload the burden on moderators who can then, only review community consensus actions, rather than perform all actions themselves and have to view and decide everything. One example of this is the “community notes” of Xitter. I think there is a lot of opportunity for improvement compared with the shadowy and unaccountable ways that moderation is usually performed on social media.
Yeah, you could keep usual moderators as the basis and ultimate arbiters, but it would be, at the very least, interesting to try your approach. E.g., anyone can check the mod queue and be randomly assigned to moderate a recently reported post, and to avoid abuse or mistakes it could require 2 or 3 people agreeing on how to resolve something.
I would also like to see most moderation actions, be a filter applied client side and under full control of the user. Moderation becomes a “default view” of the consensus, that users are not forced to abide.
After that, we can have client side ability to ignore certain user’s moderation action based on their account history and history of reliable judgment and the user could decide how much weight to give to various actors in the ecosystem
Community sourced moderation seems sooo in line with Fediverse ideals! And would probably go a long way avoiding mod burnout and avoid cases like lemm.ee’s
Then that would be NSFL, not work. This is safe for work.
Yeah, this. I’m at my kid’s soccer practice ffs

People with PTSD exist and are on the same internet as you. People browse the internet in public where they don’t want to be flashing around images of dead people.
Behave like MAGA if you want, I just won’t be the one seeing it.

People can care about school shootings while also not wanting to see a dying body and someone’s bloody gunshot wound randomly appear on their timeline when they’re just trying to look at some fucking memes.
This is like if I started filling your timeline with random snuff films and gore videos, and when you complained, went “OH you don’t like this? Well the human trafficking victims used in these videos didn’t either.”

Deranged way to respond to someone who asked that a post be flagged as NSFW for people who don’t want see footage of someone being killed. Do you think anyone wouldn’t ask for footage of the school shooting to also be marked NSFW?
Go hang out in gore communities if the best reason you have to shove images of death in peoples’ faces is “victims also had to see it.” Seeing shit like that regularly is incredibly psychologically damaging, and you have no idea what other people are dealing with when they scroll across something real and violent like this.
Talk to a therapist if you think shoving these images in the faces of people who don’t want to see it is normal.

nice of you to assume only American eyes are here, not at all feeding into the American exceptionalism trope, nope, not at all.
Not everybody here is American, dude.

They think the shooter was trans, but I’d bet real money that when the find the shooter its going to be a right winger. It almost always is. Dems draw the line at talking about being angry.
update from the future: the suspect is Tyler Robinson, a young white Utah man from a Mormon family, with unregistered party affiliation. he confessed to his father, who called a youth pastor to talk him down from suicide, who then called US marshals to take him into custody.
This comment appears to have aged well.
And then we’ll never hear about him ever again…
Lone wolf, mental health, yada yada. At least the pedos got a week of relief from this distraction.
Agreed. Right wingers picture stuff like etching slogans on bullets and bombs as being poetic justice or something, so they assume everyone does.
30.06 to the fucking neck. For those not in the know, that’s for taking a deer, through everything, lungs and heart. Considered a humane way to drop a medium-sized animal instantly. No pain. The shockwave is astonishing. Kirk’s brain and spinal column were shut down, he felt nothing, had no idea anything happened. He was “disconnected”.
My FIL shot a deer from front to back with that same round. He was so horrified seeing that animal ripple, never hunted again. I’m no hunter, but I feel him. I have my own reasons for not hunting.
Or, you’re living in WWII and shooting Nazis, which we see here. Get fucking used to it. This will be a sight on your own block soon enough. Take my AR? Aight. I’ll break out the 30.06.
Most gunshot deaths are exactly like this, with less spurting. Early internet, I saw a Mexican college kid protesting. Took a 12-gauge, 00-buck, straight to the chest, 12". He merely looked surprised, little blood bloomed on his shirt, dropped straight down.
It’s not Hollywood, people flying backwards through plate-glass windows. Nah. People simply drop on the spot, sack of potatoes. No drama. Simply dead. Early cowboy movies caught grief because the actors would simply drop when shot. That’s how it works.
I know most of y’all aren’t shooters. Here’s my poor joke on the difference in AR-15 rounds vs. 30.06. Charlie was hit with a fucking cannon.
Hunted a bit growing up. My guess is, if you hit a human pretty much anywhere above the thighs with .30-06, they’re not going to live through it. The hydrostatic shock is devastating and the exit wound is significant.
If the round was armor piercing, .30-06 has enough force to go through a car engine block.
I’ve shot a deer in the neck before. God damn do they have a lot of blood.
That is depressing. He never got to see in his last moments that he fucked up, he just became a corpse.
It’s ‘humane’ to shoot the deer in the heart! You’re not supposed to give the deer a rectal exam with them!
This is a solid copypasta btw.
Did you get the rounds backwards or am I not smart enough to get the joke…
Shot goats with the .303 and yeah, they didn’t slow down at all
30-06 is more powerful than the .303
That’s the joke. Old-school hunting rifles are far deadlier than an AR-15.
Whooosh
I thought it was a .30-06. A .223 could do that at 200 yards, but the way it took him out looked almost identical to a good killshot on a deer. And the .30-06 was designed for much longer ranges than a .223.
You can survive a lot of gunshot wounds. It’s not as sure and final as you make it out to be.
That sucks :(
Why the fuck would you post this without tagging NSFW?
You American? You’re getting ready to see far worse IRL. European? They’re right behind us.
Idiot
You can’t foresee widespread political gun violence coming? To America?! You might not know, but we’re pretty fucking divided and even us libs are armed.
Because it is safe for work, maybe not safe for life, but work.

Dumbass. I don’t give a fuck if your fucked up country wants your children dead. I didn’t kill your children, and I didn’t make your dumbass laws, you fucking dumbass.
I don’t want to see people being murdered on my feed. That’s why I filtered out NSFW. Go fuck yourself.
This you?
The turning point logo makes this even better
Charlie has reached a turning point.
That’s the first thing I noticed lmao
People yesterday were pretty passionate about this not becoming a meme but I think with time anything can be made funny.
There is no “too soon” to joke about dead nazis.
He was sitting under signage that said Prove Me Wrong.
The correct timing for dark humor is now now now.
It was immediately fucking hilarious. It’s my screensaver.
Case in point: All the 9/11 memes today
Ngl, the fact that a 9/11’s worth of people were dying every fucking day, just in the US, during the peak of Covid, and one entire fucking half of our country was just shitposting and TRYING to spread it more entirely reframed 9/11 for me. Before, it was A Serious Thing. Now… well, I have put on my absurdism glasses.

I’m glad to see this, I feel like all Americans should have to come to some personal terms about the 9/11 worth of daily COVID deaths that half the country were just casually ok with. I prefer existentialism to nihilism as a response to the absurdity of the world, since nihilism is just going to trap us in a cycle of resigned apathy, but a little self-reflection is preferred either way.
And related to the 9/11 comparison: amazing how there was no reckoning about how hundreds of thousands of those cumulative deaths were attributable to Trump’s mishandling. From that standpoint, we elected Osama bin Laden times a thousand to be president, after he took down the twin towers.
Yeah - however long it took OP to make the meme is the appropriate amount of time
Not to say this isn’t funny (it is) but arm the proletariat :3
The only good nazi…
Someone made a joke on tiktok “going on a debate with Charlie Kirk” and put the Minecraft xp sound in the background (in Minecraft when you kill a mob, you get XP which you can later use to enchant armor and tools… Picking it up has distinct sound). Also, as you may have guessed it, folks complaining how “liberals killed dark humor” or however are they saying do not like dark humor
Never knew you could see the stupid leaving somebody’s body.
Good ol’ Carotid Artery Charlie
Carotid Kirk sounds better
I love you.
