I remember every single time someone they didn't like died. They would rejoice in the most vile manner imaginable. Fuck them.
I am betting that Kirk's killer was a fellow conservative who found him too soft and not hard right enough.
Or... maybe it was the same guy who killed Brian Thompson... because Luigi is innocent.

Not wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest and all and arguing against gun control.

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?
I see your point, but Asimov was born in 1920 and Foundation, arguably his greatest work, came out in 1951 when he was 31, the same age numbnuts was. "Barely out of highschool" just doesn't apply and frankly feels like a disingenuous attempt to disparage youth. Age unfortunately has very little to do with stupid opinions.

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.
People don't sympathize with their trash when it ends up in landfill.

No empathy for this scum

No he wasn't a human being, he was a fascist. The two are mutually exclusive. The world is a better place now that he's not in it and that's worth celebrating.

How touching! Just like how he would've wanted!

The problem with this is that it will be used to increase violence against non-white cis males.
Guess how Nazis were defeated in WW2...

I'm not going to celebrate, I simply don't care that karma struck him so hard.

I saw it unintentionally and it was horrifying. It's always horrifying to see such a thing, no matter who it is.
Meh, /b/ broke me a long time ago

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.

I always wonder where the cut off is, how evil does someone have to be for society to accept their death with gladness?

I wonder if we will get a new wave of users as reddit has another ban wave for people laughing at this cunts neck exploding.

OK, honestly I’m not going to celebrate a murder. But nothing can stop me from appreciating the heck out of the irony.

I'm not celebrating, it's just a routine champagne toast. I do it every time a fascist dies of unnatural causes.

I'm almost certain you guys write replies like this with the frame of mind that it's a clever way of wishing violence. It's a peak reddit tier response designed to dodge moderators.

Charlie Kirk co-founded TP USA in 2012 with a tea party activist when he was 18, the day after he graduated from high school. He also wrote an article for breitbart and appeared on fox news in his senior year of highschool. I believe that's probably what the OP is referring to.

are still feeling empathy for tolerant people outside their groups
Apparently they are not, as exemplified by celebration of violence here, and the dislike for those arguing against violence. They feel empathy for the intolerant only, and dislike the emphatic.
The fascist chose to break the peace treaty and so they are no longer protected by it.
Neither are the people celebrating here, according to this logic. See the issue?
Now tolerant people have to work together with people outside their groups
Exactly, they should! What they're doing instead is using violence on people outside their in-group - the self-proclaimed tolerant are the intolerant just of a different tribe.
They're them, we're we, we're better is what you're describing and is parochial empathy.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Apparently they are not
Charlie Kirk wasn't empathetic himself. Literally look at the posted quote by OP. He was not a tolerant person, but intolerant of others.
Neither are the people celebrating here
The people on social media reacting to Charlie Kirk's demise are not calling for violence towards each other. They are acting in unison, setting aside the MSM, and celebrating the death of a political influencer with destructive ideals. We The People are consistent in our peace treaty, for we all know Charlie violated it well before now.
What they're doing instead is using violence
I'm sorry, are social media posts violence now? Are social media posts the same as a bullet to the neck? Are celebrations of death the same as calling for it? Can we not take pleasure in knowing vile, evil people have perished and can no longer spread their destructive ideals that will lead to pain and suffering of others?
They're them, we're we, we're better is what you're describing and is parochial empathy.
The test is empathy, man. Empathy is the gateway into breaking down racist and sexist walls and realizing that we all have more in common that in difference. Charlie actively advocated against that, reinforcing stereotypes and charging up the fascist belief of "the other".

Ah, that does make sense
