    Yo, this isn’t cool. Despise the man for his views, but making a joke out of someone getting brutally murdered? Be better.

      No, it’s great. I’d even suggest projecting it onto the side of his wife and vance’s bedroom.

      I care more about an ant being squished than I ever will a dead fash. At least the ants are innocent lives.

      Guarantee you don’t spend anywhere near as much effort defending minorities, LGBTQ, or gun violence victims as you do white christo-nationalist terrorism advocates. Wonder why that might be.

      Fuck off, you nazi defending piece of human garbage. Charlie Kirk deserved what he got and the only unfortunate parts about his death are how fast and painless it was, and that he isn’t around to see how quickly his nazi wife took his money and ran off to start fucking a dude with a fetish for duvet covers

        The fuck? I’m a staunch ally of our LGBTQ and black allies. I’m not defending him in any way. I’m saying that we can oppose all of his beliefs and still decry the glorification of violence. Read what you wrote. Because he was a terrible person he deserved not only to be killed, but to be killed slowly? I don’t know how some morals get skewed, but I’ll die on this hill. Our best freedom fighters led by non violent protests and i fully intend on carrying on that tradition.

      He lived to enable to the violence that killed him. He gave his life to it. He joked about people’s death. If anyone deserves this, he does.

        I’m not saying that he wasn’t killed by the same sword he advocated, but to revel in it? Thats something entirely different. To be clear, I think he was a piece of shit, but making a joke of murder isn’t the way.

          You can believe that if you want but I am not a moral objectivist. There is no “way” and I don’t think he deserves our respect even in death. I’m not particularly bothered if it looks bad either.

        Say what you will, but we are the lgood guys, we’re supposed to be about compassion and caring for our fellow humans. Don’t let your anger get in the way of your humanity.

          Does that care extend to the people who were victimized and made to feel unsafe by him? Because when this happened a lot of liberals came out to condemn people for “celebrating” (which we didn’t do) rather than ask why so many marginalized people didn’t feel like grieving. We’re not gonna give respect to someone who spent his entire political career dehumanizing us.

            Of course care the care is entirely for he people he harmed or convinced his views were even reasonably sane. Who said we should grieve his death or show respect? Taking joy in the death of another person is a different animal altogether. Also, this feels an awful lot like celebrating his death.

              I don’t feel joy or whatever, but I don’t think it’s a big deal if people do. Hell, I’d have celebrated Hitler dying, so to me it’s a matter of where you draw the line. Drawing the line where a nazi deserves respect is silly imo.

              All that said, again, the vast majority of people didn’t celebrate, we just refused to say we feel sad, because we don’t.
