RIP Charlie Kirk

[jmayo]

The other thing that is noticable is the morons who cheer on this assassination parrot certain comments which are usually taken out of context.
Kirk did talk about empathy being overrated and bull (to paraphrase) but he did also talk in the same instance about sympathy and compassion.

Only the knobends fail to mention that or probably are too dumb to even look up the entire statement.

Seriously history really needs to be taught, probably with a mallet, to people.

A guy who espoused US right wing Christian values, challenged people of a different opinion to debates on college campuses is equivalent to Hitler, a despotic dictator that was in power over his country for decades slaughtering thousands and the leader of an islamist organisation responsible for thousands of dead.

FFS.

South Park featured him recently and mocked him and he took it in good spirits and was happy to have made it into common culture. Imagine how other people would react.

They are being lied to by their influencers. Only a few posts back we have a poster lied to from somewhere else. They can even find fact checking sites to support this fake news. They aren’t morons for being lied to, but the people doing the lying need to be shot.

“We do know that the roommate that we had originally talked about, we can confirm that that roommate is a boyfriend who is transitioning from male to female," Cox said. "I will say that that person has been very cooperative with authorities.”

The governor has confirmed the shooter. Robinson, was in a relationship with his transgender roommate/partner.

Antifa are the armed militant wing of this left wing ideology and one of the biggest issues for them in “fighting fascism” are transgender issues. That’s why I and many others predicted a transgender and antifa link long before the suspect was caught.

And yet the left lap up the nonsense photoshopped pictures of this dweeb wearing a Trump tshirt.

"Oh he's a white male so he must be x, y and z" says the white male leftist who's celebrating Kirks death. These people aren't even midwits, they're utterly stupid.

Yes, is it lack of self awareness or arrogance I wonder. Probably both. Like when I see dumb white women complaining about white women, "Karens", pick-me's etc... I mean you couldn't make it up.

Right whiff of misogyny there ..

[Belladonna]

Well they think they couldn't possibly be misogynistic - they usually identify as feminist... and yet there they are, being utterly misogynistic.

Another one who said Charlie wanted to stone gays to death and then later publicly retracted his comments. I hope these people start to realize who’s lying to them.

Tbh tho that rat lied to start a war and had a scientist murdered so this was chicken feed to him.

I’m a woman - one of the dinosaurs with wombs - and have been more judged by women than mrn.

I think it’s key in The Handmaids Tale that women are crueler to other women.

On the Handmaids Tale thing - I read the book years ago - I have read many of Margaret Atwood's books, and especially loved the MaddAddam trilogy and The Blind Assassin. I haven't watched the TV series made from The Handmaids Tale, but from what I've read and seen, it seems to have taken a very different interpretation to the subject matter than the book did, fueled, at least in part, by the height of Trump Derangement Syndrome that was prevalent when it was being made.

Oh yeah I agree with every word but I'm just saying that it's not heinous for someone to say they didn't deserve to be shot however they weren't a fan of them - that's not the same thing as "haha they're dead yay!" And that such behaviour would only come from the left.

If people discuss his politics, just after he’s been assassinated then let’s be honest, it’s someone saying he deserved to die in veiled language. Would you not agree with that?

No one focused on the politics of Jo Cox or the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, if they did it was on the positives.

"It's pathetic that some people are pushing the lie that "the left did it""

Breathtaking arrogance and hypocrisy - that same poster blames the right, as a bloc, for every ill and trouble in the world, and labels people as fascists (as he does in this post) by association constantly. Then, when the left actually kills someone for their opinions, and a huge number of leftists all over the world openly agree with that action, he denies it's anything to do with the left.

It’s just disgusting, I can’t see how anyone could defend this. This type of poster goes on about dog whistling all the time. Hypocrisy is not a strong enough word.

They have been pushing dangerous narratives and fake news for years and finally people are standing up and saying we’ve had enough of your bullshit and it’s fantastic.

I’d be surprised if the other mods were not sick of this type of posting, too. Every post like this conveys what a miserable and pathetic existence they must live to express such constant negativity.
I don’t mind different opinions, but posts like this are more than that.

I don't know about everyone who says that. I've said things far more banal like "I wasn't a fan (although I did agree with him on one or two things) but murder?! His poor kids, the people celebrating it are disgusting" etc. I'm just mentioning I wasn't a fan because, well, it's just the truth and I'd be hypocritical to pretend I was a supporter of him.

What that mod said on Boards though - well a guy on the left did do it. They don't like being called "the left" I've noticed, even though they use the term "the right" all the time. How is "the left" an insult... And there's been some mad craic over the last few days with "Kirk shooter was actually a MAGA guy", some posting "I knew it!" Yes because clearly a MAGA guy assassinating Charlie Kirk is the totally logical conclusion.

The telegraph describe the German media’s reaction as “beyond disturbing”.

This is a sign of how far the political mainstream in Germany has drifted Leftwards. It is no longer enough to oppose your adversaries. They must be delegitimised, dehumanised, treated not as mistaken citizens but as moral outcasts.

Conservatives are no longer simply wrong; they are wicked, even “fascists”. And if they are wicked, then what happens to them is of little consequence. A society that cannot even pause to mourn the death of a man who dedicated himself to free speech has lost its moral bearings.

The parallel is obvious. Just as Kirk’s murder is rationalised by citing his supposed sins, so too is open menace against Jews excused as the “unfortunate by-product” of “oppression”. The logic is the same: our values – free speech, the sanctity of life, Israel’s right to exist – apply only when the “right” side commits the violence. It is moral relativism dressed up as sophistication, and it is political poison.

And ordinary Germans see it. They see double standards, indulgence of left-wing thuggery, contempt for common sense. And increasingly, they turn to the one party that at least voices their anger – the AfD. By treating dissent as illegitimate, by excusing violence when it suits, Germany’s elites are nurturing precisely the beast they claim to fear most. Every smear instead of debate, every indulgence of extremism instead of confrontation, drives voters further into the AfD’s arms.

Charlie Kirk died for his belief that words, not bullets, should settle political disputes. Germany’s media elite could not even bring themselves to honour that conviction. Instead, they applauded the silencing of a man who did nothing more dangerous than challenge his opponents. If this is the moral standard of the German mainstream, then its democratic future is far darker than its leaders dare to admit.

He’s a vile excuse for a human being and the reason why EDI teams should be disbanded.
