RIP Charlie Kirk

[ceannairceach]

Whether you agree with his politics or not, he was a brave man to openly go to areas hostile to him and offer to freely debate anyone who wanted to.

Now murdered by no doubt some pathetic left wing moron who probably has pronouns and “be kind” in “zer” bio.

Very sad indeed.

[Belladonna]

Dude had two small babies who'll never know their daddy - but people are of course celebrating his murder. I mean... I wasn't much of a fan either, but would they not just think about his children? Probably not. Or they'd come up with some sick rationalisation.

[Headshot]

I don't know the gentleman but it's sickening for his poor family

Hearth breaking

Imagine it was 200 years away, that's going to be very difficult to defend if you're not high up in politics and have counter snipers

How many Palestinian babies died today? Charlie Kirk was a huge supporter of the moron in the WH- who in turn is a huge supporter of the mass murderer Netanjahu.
No tears here for Kirk.

I feel sad for HIS babies though. And his wife. And parents and siblings.

The guy was exposing the lunacy of the far left by going to American colleges and having conversations and debates. Of course there are going to be some sick fucks revelling in his death, the ones who are lgbt activists and fly the Palestine flag.

Typically classless fcking response.

To your first question o neither know nor give a fcking damn.

Take your keffir and vile Hamas propaganda and do one.

There are videos of people dancing to Celebration.

Sick fcks to a man. Sorry, to “a gender neutral non binary individual”.

May he rest in peace - and for love of God let this be the end to letting cross dressing morons describe rightful criticism and ensuring boundaries for women as “actual violence”.

Reminds me of the aftermath Brian Thompson’s murder, and how the dumb masses celebrated and created a righteous kill narrative.
Now that it has hit a (second) member of government there will probably be very severe measures put in place and the same idiots who now celebrate will shout the loudest when their rights will be impacted.

I’m seeing so much hate on Twitter - rejoicing that a 16 minth old girl will never know her father.

Why? Because he disagreed with your political views. Because he was a man of faith.

The leader of Canada has not condemned this killing, nor did he condemn the senseless hilling of a young Ukrainian refugee by a dreadlocked psycho.

He dos however condemn Israel for killing a senior Hamas terrorist.

The left are beyond help.

[PinkFreud]

I'm a lefty and probably considered to be fairly woke, and this situation is absolutely abhorrent.

A young man, with young kids and a wife who were in attendance, has lost his life for no reason.

Anyone celebrating this is as twisted as those they claim to despise.

i disagree with pretty much everything Kirk stood for, but neither he nor anyone else deserve death for simply doing their job, regardless of how we feel about their political leanings.

I feel incredibly sorry for his kids and his wife, and all of his family and friends who will see so much vitriol posted about him online.

He was assassinated and no rational person of any particular political leaning should ever celebrate that.

RIP Charlie Kirk.

Those celebrating his death need to wonder if they have woken a sleeping giant. We keep hearing about the “rise of the far right” yet the majority of political violence in the past few years has been by the left. Eventually, there will be repercussions, and my money wouldn’t be on the people who cry when they are misgendered and want guns banned.

[knownunknown]

If you want to know why people constantly harp on about boards mods being the front line in the culture war, take a look at this same thread in politics there, you’ll see trolls celebrating his death with impunity while posters posting that have been there for 20 years have been banned for speaking up against these people.

We all know if the shoe were on the other foot what would happen. Can’t wait to see that place go under.

I read that thread, well the last few pages.

I need a long shower. In bleach.

Poor guy though. It’s crazy what America has descended into. This was an interview Kirk gave just a few months ago about an attack on a college campus. Of course his assassin is going to be antifa. No doubt whatsoever and I’ll happily eat humble pie if I’m wrong.

Hauntingly prophetic.

[Dubit10]

I'm just incredibly sad over some of the reactions to this from certain sectors. What's happening to the world for goodness sake.

From an article on gript

Thus, we have a problem in the modern west. That problem is that a large swathe of the political left has stopped consenting to defeat. It views its opponents as not merely wrong, but illegitimate.
(…)

He(Kirk) was doing democratic politics the way it was supposed to be done. By going into hostile territory, taking questions from those he disagreed with, and winning his audiences over by simply persuading them that he was right. He proved vastly more effective at it than legions of tenured liberal professors, despite never having gone to college himself.

(…)

The determination that the right must not be permitted to win does not in most cases extend to violence. But the violence is the logical extension of an attitude that starts well before the violence commences. It begins with a determination that conservative voices should not be heard. It begins with laws restricting free speech, and laws censoring the internet.

It extends to the funding of an entire public infrastructure determined to load the political scales: In Ireland we see it with our multi-billion euro NGO complex, which exists for the sole and entire purpose of making sure that the public debate is dominated by voices of the political centre left to the exclusion of voices from the political right. It extends to the state’s funding of the media, which is conveniently tied to pledges to cover left wing issues and adopt left-wing internal policies. It extends to the overt and not particularly subtle indoctrination of children in schools with curriculums that are heavily and consciously weighted to the political left.

The violence, you see, is only necessary if you get past all the initial hurdles. Respectable left wingers don’t want you dead, they just want you silent. But if you are not silent, and you happen to win, well, what do you expect to happen?

And then there’s the hypocrisy: In the last week alone in Ireland, we have had to put up with frankly insufferable whinging from the media about threats to Simon Harris. This whining would be more sufferable if it were at least consistent, but it is not. It is the most rank and disgusting hypocrisy.

I didn't always like what he had to say, but he had a right to say it. This is something our Government is trying to take away from us with its hate speech legislation, you can't call a spade a spade anymore (no pun intended). It is something we must fight to the bitter end.

77,302,580 people voted for "the moron in the WH" in 2024 - do you believe they should all be murdered too?

[jmayo]

The left are soon going to reap a whirlwind.

They are pushing anyone that doesn't believe in their fairytale lunacy further and further right.

We have LGBT++++ but mostly trans perverted halfwits, and I don't care if that offends anyone, chanting we are all for Palestine.

Do these fooking eejits not realise how long they would actually last under the rule of Hamas.

These morons and the fookers behind them have infected the institutions of our states, our media, and our societies.

I’d say they probably do - can’t have the sacred cause of Palestine mocked eh ?

I used to be very lefty (although never as bad as the "culture war" loons now - even I found them obnoxious and hilarious when they were in their infancy). I have moved to the centre but I still have core liberal views, and I detest the far right... however, people voice concern about the rise of same, and I can't help thinking: well whose effing fault is that?! Between the dude with how many convictions stabbing that poor Ukrainian girl, the murder of little kids in Minnesota, the assassination of Charlie Kirk... it's a powder keg and people can't be surprised at ugly fallout.

In all honesty i was very much on the left up until around circa 2018 but iv'e just witnessed the left get more and more unhinged and violent using thugs like that George Floyd scumbag as some sort of hero whilst also pushing illegal migration to the max i decided enough was enough. Would have voted SF all my life but wouldn't give them a look in now.

Ireland desperately need a right leaning conservative political movement with money and media behind it or we are royally screwed going forward.
