Yes, as the decensitivation is a necessary element for the continuation of the violence

dude it's tots how are you sad? get me some franks red hot it's happy time

You are describing parochial empathy, with the caveat that somehow you think it's different when you do it.

The answer is social media. And theres grifters for everyone to latch on to, and get their opinions from.

It seems like the right wing have the market cornered, but thats only because we frequent left leaning social media holes. If you look at the right holes, you'll see the same insanity going the other way. Unhinged blue hair land whales getting weird as fuck about a hot girl wearing jeans for example. But right now, if you look, what you'll see an ocean of right wing grifters pointing to social media posts and comments and that are cheering on the death of Kirk. Which if you think about it, its pretty fucking sick. Yeah, he was a cunt. But that doesnt mean we have to be as well.

I mean, if I told you that someone was killed because of their political beliefs, youd think of Lincoln or Kennedy. And then if I told you people were cheering about it, youd think they were sick. But this is somehow worse. Charlie Kirk was killed not for politics, but because of the dumb as fuck culture wars that he took part in. Saying outrageous, bigoted dog shit, and then being celebrated for it by an annoying gaggle of cave brained cunts.

This is why people are celebrating. This weird culture war, that has both sides not seeing human beings anymore. Just talking heads that say things they dont like. The real horror of this is that a human being was murdered, and no one on the left side of the culture war for one second thought of the human being, or the horrific way he died. They just cheered and tapped away keys with satisfying clicky sounds. And worse than that, the cunt is now a martyr to that cause. This will only escalate now. And that, is nothing that anyone should be happy about.

enjoying his murder is part of our therapy

Yeah, thats whats going to happen. Not that the unhinged right wing fuckwits use him as martyr, and saddle up for some weird fucking payback.

The way to defeat Kirk was with words and facts. A bullet does nothing but make his voice louder. If it was some left wing culture war weirdo, all they did was make him immortal. Yay...

He wasn't just spreading shitty opinions, he was spreading hate and fear and creating a dangerous environment for those he didn't like. He got what he fucking deserved.

They're safe now

No, its because they see asshole like you cheering for the murder of people who say dumb shit. How the fuck can you not see your own extremism when its so fucking blatant???? "People who dont agree with me deserve to die!". That you lot, thats you lot right fucking now.

Jesus christ.

No, someone who spread as much hate as he did, doesn't deserve sympathy.

I hope the bullet is ok.

Yep. I've already said this like three times on other platforms: it's ok to be happy about this. He gave you permission. Twice, actually. The "it's worth sacrificing a person every now and then if it means we get to have guns" and this empathy thing.

This is maybe the only time it's ok to be happy someone died.

Just some good old racism

Imagine having to juggle being a Father and getting through college at the same time.

And what do you think celebrating his death is doing?

I know you keyboard warriors are dumb as fuck, so Ill just tell you. Youre ramping up the other side of your dumb culture war. Youre spreading hate, and celebrating murder. You are the very thing you hate. You just dont have as many followers. But theres enough of you doing it, that right now there will be a number of unhinged right wingers looking for "payback". And thats on you, and every single other mouth breather out there cheers for murder.

Lmao like they aren't already cheering about people getting deported. Get fucked.

He was a cunt and bled out like one. Fuck him. Just because he's dead doesn't mean he deserves respect. He gets the same respect he gave towards women. Fucking none.

I'm not really celebrating it, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

I wouldn't say he was murdered. He considered himself to be a culture warrior and when a warrior falls in battle, even if it's a most pointless battle standing on the wrong side of history, it's generally not considered murder.

Yes, words matter.

But the ends don't justify the means. Morality isn't outcome-oriented. It's wrong to kill someone just for their words and ideas.

If the assassin had targeted the people enacting those ideas, that might be different. But assassinations tend to be a net negative. I can't think of an exception.

Wow, so wise. I always wanted to be slowly, yet methodically killed by right wingers without any fight-back.

I hold people like him personally responsible for the violence against POC's and trans people. So yeah, I am going to PARTYYYYYYY

So let me get this straight...

People in here are justifying his murder by saying he advocated for it?

So because he said he thinks empathy is bollocks and that some people should have to die so we can keep guns that makes it ok?

How can you be against everything he stands for, but then use his standards to justify his death?

That is wrong. And it just shows how full of crap you are. If you disagree with him then now is the time to prove it.

He might have essentially "been asking for it" but thats not the ways i want the world to be.

And i found out today that there are lots of people on lemmy who will advocate for murder as long as it suits them.

Cool....
