The infrastructure for democracy is already there. It's just been shelved temporarily by the current admin.
Ideological assassinations are a huge step in the wrong direction. Once you open the door to violence in place of speech and exchange of ideas, it's a bad place. Everyone should condemn this. Do you honestly believe it's a good idea to start killing people? Who is next? It's not always going to be people you disagree with, and ANY murders need to be condemned.

If you want to talk about democracy surviving, step one is removal of anyone trying to dismantle democracy.
That removal does not need to be by death, of course. A court system can imprison or deport such a person... if they're fair.
The law protects free speech, which is the cornerstone of democracy. Answering free speech with violence is the opposite of democracy. Any society based on our allowing murdering people that you disagree with is doomed to fail.

This is just the trolley problem. If you can save 5 people by killing 1, is it correct to do so, or take no action?
Well, we've got lots of people taking no action, and look where that's got us.

You're aware that the overwhelming majority of murderers are right-wingers, right?

I’m getting pretty fucking sick of seeing this ‘no one should be killed for their political beliefs’ take going around.
He wasn’t killed for his beliefs. He was killed because he dedicated his life to terrorizing everyone who isn’t a conservative white man, and was materially supporting state violence in the pursuit of white supremacy.
That is 100% something we have firmly established that people should be shot for, in multiple wars throughout the last few centuries.
Seriously, he's words and actions have probably resulted in the deaths of others, why shouldn't he have gotten this outcome?

His video gaming days are over. I am assuming that he played videogames.
If you’re nice to people and you’re a positive force in society and you do t associate with bad people, no one is going to hate you or laugh at you when you die. Heck all you need is to be neutral. The bar is pretty low.

No, he actually, absolutely, objectively did deserve to die. Maybe not by vigilante justice, but he absolutely deserved to be in the ground. The world is a better place without him in it.
Have you forgotten your history? We hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Kirk made his whole career doing. We hanged people at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity who did what Kirk did. We hanged Nazi propagandists who spent years inciting hate against the Jewish population. Kirk was absolutely guilty of incitement to genocide. He was responsible for countless deaths. He made his whole career trying to incite violence and hate against innocent people.
In a just world he would hang for his crimes. But we don't live in a just world. The closest we get to justice is vigilante justice.
Vigilante justice is not something I welcome. But the man absolutely deserved to die. He was a mass murderer.
This man wasn’t Hitler. This man was an annoying loudmouth who at the end of the day has a wife and kids he comes home to. He did not deserve this; this will only divide us more and contribute to the cycle of violence.

Holy shit, I'm in the middle of buttfuck nowhere with no internet for days, and THIS is the news that comes through when I reconnect?! Perhaps I treated this timeline too harshly
This guy basically had a twilight zone when he reconnect.

You don't have to like him, but jeez people in here are messed up. I'm a little surprised that so many people are celebrating an ideological assassination. Democracy literally cannot survive if opinions are punishable by death, and that alone should be soundly condemned.
What makes you think the USA is democratic?

we can only hope that they realize what he truly is

This is a TRAGEDY! WHY couldn't they MURDER A BUNCH OF KINDERGARTNERS Instead? This SUCKS! It's TIME for Trump to send the Military into the Shithole Blue state of Utah!
I like them anyway, but your comments never fail at being slightly annoying. I know it's parody of trump and his type of posts, but it's just a little too on the nose and the intermittent all caps words gets on my nerves. 10/10 Boomerposting

You can't murder your way into democracy.

no one is going to hate you
There are some agitators out there who will villify anything, but for the most part you're right
