the problem is that he was wrong; Empathy is a good thing. You are embodying his shitty ideology by not having empathy. That doesn't mean you gotta suddenly like the guy or not call out his shitty ideology, but don't let yourself get dragged down into the septic tank and get covered in the shit.
I'll gladly die on this hill, get at me nerds
Some people say empathy, tolerance, & inclusion are strictly moral values. However this misses that they are also a social contract lest we end up in the paradox of tolerance.
Kirk had none for those outside his in-group. Those outside his in-group owe him none in return.

He was permanently deported to the afterlife.
Even better & since the afterlife is made-up bullshit, he was deleted from existence! And the world is a better place without him.

I'm laughing at the song choices being posted on the music community.
Golden Earring - Twilight Zone for the lyrics
"Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?
Soon, you will come to know when the bullet hits the bone"Utah Saints - Something Good, for the hilarious, to me, coincidence between the song title, the band name and the location of the event
*NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye, need I say more

Billy Joel was finally wrong: not only the good die young.
I can't believe he was only 31. Like he didn't seem that young at all to me

I'd like to ask a general question that I'm not entirely sure I can give enough context for.
When did we as a society start listening so intently to what amounts to barely more than children? This Kirk guy looked chromosomal on top of being barely out of high school, how and why do so many people listen to him?
Half a century ago thought leaders were people like Isaac Asimov or Carl Sagan or Gwynne Dyer or Roy Bonisteel or any number of scholarly people over a certain age.
When did we start caring about high schooler's opinions on a national level?

X smug counters make x number of your opponents creatures attack, your blockers take no damage.
Oh. No. They don't actually do anything until like... An edition later when they're part of a bunch of insane stacking combos.

His last words
He was asked how many shooters were trans in the last 10 years and replied "Too many"
He was corrected, the number is 5.
He was then asked how many shootings happened in these years (there were 5700)
He asked back: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" and got shot
Seriously? We’re living in a movie.

It's a deflection technique. The intention was to not answer or address the question at all, but to shift to another topic he could more easily use to manipulate his audience. If you've ever watched him "debate" he was a master of deflection.
Now that you mention it, this seems most likely.

I heard something like that from 2 different 'news' sources. One was Fox News and the other was PBS news. The PBS one was a lot less direct, but some rando who knew nothing about him could still take that message away. Zero mention of what he advocated for beyond challenging opinions on college campuses and mentioning he was a right wing influencer. They were playing up the think of the CEO's family card just like they did with the UHC CEO. Oh and don't forget the 247 (/s) random politicians who condemn political violence.
One was Fox News
Shocking
the other was PBS news
No, it wasn't. Bullshit.
don’t forget the 247 (/s) random politicians who condemn political violence.
Okay. That's just what they feel they have to do for appearances. Even the ones who actively wish for political violence (Trump) say that shit. No one should be surprised there.

I feel bad for this guys family but becoming your own meme for getting assassinated is crazy. This whole thing has been insane.

I think since forever, there's for example quite a few teenagers amongst the US Founding Fathers age when signing declaration of independence:
Alexander Hamilton 21
James Monroe 18
Nathan Hale 21
John Marshall 20
Aaron Burr 20
Charles Pinckney 18 -

Let's also not forget how giddy he was when Paul pelosi was nearly killed over his politics.

I dont feel bad for his family.
I feel bad for his kids. They didn't choose to have a piece of shit for a father.

This is genuinely the first time in a long time that the news has brought me genuine joy. I don't give a fuck, but I am angry at him and people like him for being so shitty that it makes me feel joy at their deaths. This is on you bitch.
Have you tried therapy? Enjoying murder is horrific

I watched the close up video and didn’t find it traumatic especially given all what has been happening in gaza and Ukraine, not to mention the children being shot in schools
I had the same experience. It's regrettable how desensitized to violence I am these days.

You're desensitized to violence. Not something to be proud of or encourage

I hate how some are trying to spin this as "he was killed just for having different opinions" like no, he didn't just have "different opinions" that's grossly oversimplifying things, he advocated for the genocide in Gaza, said kids being shot in school is "worth it" because "god given rights" (which version of the Bible had assault rifles in it?) ridiculed disabled people in his circles, and said if his 9 year old daughter got raped he wouldn't allow her to have an abortion
All while in a position of authority and power with influence over a significant portion of people. How anyone can sympathise for him I don't know
How anyone can sympathise for him I don’t know
At the end of the day he is a human being, that's why. I'm not trying to defend the guy, but fundamentally that's what is supposed to divide the progressives/liberals vs the conservatives. The conservatives don't care except when it's their own while the progressives and liberals are supposed to care about all people supposedly.
