Almost all of the people paying tribute to him didn't care at all about him a couple weeks ago will stop caring about him completely in a few weeks.
Bingo. At least not beyond the tragedy of a young person dying.
To steal the term: 'virtue signaling'
Eh, I'd wager alot of these people got seduced by self-righteous outrage. It makes people feel good about themselves.
Frequently wrong, never in doubt.
I have sound off and that's enough to know about him.
How can I share this outside of Lemmy? I know just the guy.
give them this link https://files.catbox.moe/do6eyg.mp4
It just keeps going. And going. And going. God, the guy was a total shitbag.
what is up with that ear ring?
I’m sure glad he’s dead.
He is being turned into a martyr for the cause. Schools and streets will be named after him soon.
Me too! Fascists deserve bullets!
well the erika is too, she dint shed a single tear, and was selling MERCH at his funeral, plus the "memorial was a political rally for trump. Also the fact that she WORE WHITE too.
trump, and the gop is doing everything in thier power to do 3 things: distract from epstein, grift from the stupid voters, buying thier merchandise(especially at the funeral), shore up domestic alt-right support(must keep the propaganda going somehow), while not acknowledging the shooter was more right wing than he was.
You’re a piece of shit
no u
Behold: A snowflake.
I will not celebrate his death, but I can’t muster up any sympathy for the fact he can’t spread this disgusting, hate-filled vitriol anymore.
If you think he was anything but a net negative to society, corrupting young minds and fostering vile ideologies, you can kindly go fuck yourself.
I am not happy he was killed, but I will not mourn a virulent fascist.
No. You.
Waaaah waaah fox news told me all lefties are soft and scared and easy to bully, they aren't allowed to say mean things about US, this is bullshit I'm going to hide under mommies skirt
All the leftists I know watched ol kirky get aerated on repeat and MST3K'd that shit. Guess we're just tougher and less empathetic than your pansy republican ass, just like he would've wanted
Proverbs 11:10:
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
That's a circlejerk. Everybody believes that they are on the good side.
Really dumb take, and simply not true. Plenty of bad people know they are doing wrong, and they do it anyway, because they want what they want, and they are going to get it. Every criminal knows they doing wrong, that's why they try to hide it.
That's a circlejerk. Everybody believes that they are on the good side.

I don’t condone what happened to Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk condoned what happened to Charlie Kirk.
People often use the word "Ironic" wrong. A person who encourages gun violence, dying of gun violence, is a perfect example of true irony.
It's like a bulleeeeeeet in the neck when all you needed was a fork
I'm further insulted by the fact this person got such a platform to spout off absolute trash.
So many welcoming arms 😡
like shapiro, crowder, CANDACE owens, and others. they are propped up by Putin, through a SHell corporation. it isnt by accident, also plus the amount bots/AI to spread thier edited Videos on Youtube. they are essentially the "rabble rousers" of the gop.
The gall for this piece of shit to have called another person unintelligent or sociopathic, holy fuck. No tears will be shed by me.
You can see him distort his face even to make some of his claims. I couldn't watch past several seconds. That doesn't strike me as being confident. Though he clearly wanted to say those things. Real piece of trash.
Holy God man. I expected it to be bad and it was so much worse.
I do understand saying deliberately wrong things just to get attention, and I think assassinating anybody is a horrifying and wrong thing to do, but out of all the variety, the thing about Clarence Thomas being greater than MLK Jr makes me want to go punch his corpse in the face.
It is even worse. That clip at the end where he says "it's worth it", was in response to school shootings.
Pretty much what I expected tbh. Surprised it wasn't worse
jesus christ it just keeps going....and going....and going
And that is the tip of the iceberg because Seneca could have put together a series-worth of hate quotes from Kirk. He spent years and years spreading hate, fear, and stochastic terrorism.
Good riddance.
Conservative Talking Head "Charlie Kirk had the views of any mainstream Republican"
Clip show of Charlie Kirk saying hateful things
Yeah, he sure did.
In Polish we ask "co mu strzeliło do głowy"* when someone voices stupid ideas and it think its beautiful.
*literally "what has shot into his head"
In German we ask those people "Hast du Lack gesoffen?"
Literal translation: Did you drink varnish? (Large amounts are somewhat implied)
To that end I highly recommend "Moscow-Petushki".
Well... Neck. Close enough?
“co mu strzeliło do głowy”*
I really need to know how to say this properly.

Click the little speaker icon on the polish side and you can hear how it's pronounced.

No comment on genocidal replacement theory or Christofascist rationale for Zionaziism. Why omit the absolute worst of Kirk?
Way more than mildly infuriating. The celebration of this guy is one of the most upsetting things to have happened in my lifetime.
...Simone Biles is weak? The fuck?
I knew about a lot of the other shit he said, but that one is just... baffling
Apparently she's only the GOAT because of DEI, or maybe Critical Race Theory.
I guess thousands of hours in the gym since she was a baby, then winning dozens of tournaments and Olympics, have nothing to do with it. The only reason she's considered great, is because her gymnastics judges from all over the world decided to apply DEI and Critical Race Theory to ALL her performances, and give her better scores then her white (or other black) teammates/ opponents, and they did it at every tournament, for YEARS.
That's how she became the greatest of all time. Not because she really is. That title should go to a white gymnast, just because she's not black.
I imagine he was talking about her decision to pull out of competition for a while due to mental health. (And now she's back and crushing it again.)
Still makes him wrong. And he was still a racist asshole. But I bet that what he was on about.
She took a break from gymnastics for mental health reasons. I expect this is why she is “weak”.
I’m sure the real reason to attack her is to convince others to see metal health struggles as weakness, so they don’t stop producing capital.
she is black and a woman, that is enough of a reason for the righties.
eww. black AND a woman? is there any worse person ever?
/s to be safe.
Aye, Charlie, you were dealing with MAGATs, vermin, and swine, but enough about your followers.
Pretty much every NAZI trope
Half!
So it doesn't help to shun his supporters.
Take back their hearts. The racists stole them. Fight the ideology, not the people.
Thank you for posting this. I had family that was confused about my repulsion and disgust concerning Kirk. Only encountering him in the limited capacity that he would be talked about in church. Digging on the web or YouTube even just returns a deluge white washing of his character. Even knowing the clips to look for, it was hard to find actual examples of them. Due to all the flood of bullshit coverage. Saved and Shown.
The issue is, clips like this, people will just say "you took his words out of context with sound bites".….while completely ignoring that the shit he says in this clip, has no way to get better in context. It's just straight up racist hate filled maga speak.
The ones that do that were never reachable anyhow. Which unfortunately includes my mother. Upon being confronted with this she kept saying that the clips were taken out of context. When I asked her what context would make the things he said not hateful and bigoted. All she could do was keep repeating that they were taken out of context.
thats why the gop is trying very hard to martyr him, but hes spew so much vile hateful things, and have been used as propaganda on youtube for months on end, its hard to find something Righteous, justice about him. unlike if someone shot a person in the MEast.
and also the gop dont really care about him, they are grifting right now.
Like I said before, "Good Riddance!".
The masses are asses.
Jokes on them I'm unemployed
Wow look at what it turn into when you sell your soul. A real demon mfer.
I'm an atheist. I see 'demonic' things. It's the religious white supremacy Americans. It goes against everything Christianity stands for. Spreading hate, indoctrination, racism, misogyny, child abuse, deportations, violence, crimes against humanity, etc. They don't even know what, their own religion is about. These people are just pure evil and justify everything they say and do by a fictional man in the sky.
Didn't Christians talk about false prophets and the devil pretending to be holy?
I keep putting it off, but I'm creating an LLC so I can start a damn church.
I can't get a fucking job to save my life, so why not just profit from the ignorance and stupidity of the lumpenproletariat?
My time is now.
They did. Several hundred years ago. Then it fell out of fashion.
As someone who was raised Christian and considers myself one, I think Christianity has a few fundamental philosophical flaws (every religion does).
The major issue is hinging everything on an abstract ideal of faith. Under Christian doctrine one can only get into heaven by believing in Jesus. He is the only path to salvation.
This creates a mk Oral quandry. Could the worst person in the world beleive that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour and get into heaven? Perhaps not, they must also aspire to live a Christ-like life, and the worst person likely isn't doing that.
Let's instead imagine the most Christ-like and righteous person in the world. What if they don't believe in Jesus? According to Christian doctrine, they will burn in hell for eternity.
If this is the case, what's the point of living a good life? Can't we all just believe in Jesus and just coast through life being morally ambiguous and still make it into heaven in the end?
What you end up with is a religion where it starts to feel like only one thing matters - do you believe in Jesus? It doesn't take long before moral principles are thrown out the window and people start judging others less so by their thoughts, words and deeds but instead by just how much they beleive in Jesus.
Other religions have their flaws but particularly Eastern religious philosophy at least attempts to tackle how to live a good life a bit more directly.
The deeper you go into the Christianity, the more obsessive it becomes about faith and the less concerned it is with how to live a good life.
Which is pretty warped if you think about it - shouldn't the whole point of religion be to learn how to live well?
Surely not the whole point, since you don't need religion to do that. This is a question that philosophy has been tackling for thousands of years.
One big problem that I see is people neglecting the good life on earth for their anticipated good life in heaven. Why bother trying to live well on earth when you're only going to be here for a short time, and you'll have an eternity of living well in heaven?
What I think is flawed with the religious MAGA is that they forget one of the biggest fundamental thing of christianity: forgiveness. They don't care about that. They just use their religion as a basis for their hatred towards others so they can create their perfect world. It's like they only want to be a good christian if the setting is up to their standards. And they are willing to do anything to reach that setting, no cost is too great. Christian values only apply when you're dealing with other Christians. When they aren't Christian (exactly the way you want them to be, like white cis hetero) you can dehumanize them and do whatever you want to them with a clear conscience. Like, how fucked up are these people?
Religion is a way to show people how to live. Many people need it so they don't have to think about it themselves. They need the structure. Sure, I can understand, even though I think it's dumb. Why the need to believe in something unnatural, a fantasy, to know how to live like a proper human and how to treat others? But ok, sure some people need that apparently. But MAGA does that only selectively, whatever fits their agenda. It's the same with pseudo-science. Instead of trying to find ways to destroy your theory (and if that fails, the theory becomes more solid) they try to find ways to support their theory while neglecting the rest. This is nitpicking. That's not how it works.
Either you're a christian or you're not. You can't be half christian and use it as support for your actions, while your actions go against everything christianity stands for. Same goes for other religions of course. But there are always extremists who abuse it. Whether it's a religion, a system, whatever.
That’s not just a moral failing of judgementalism over actual morals, but a logical inconsistency
This guy disagreed with that tradition and tried to reset his church toward empathy, care, morality
