RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

I'm mostly just tired of the same people that might take time off to go piss on Biden's grave having the gall to demand that we be respectful of this chud.

These are people who hung effigies of Obama being lynched outside their homes.

What's to feel bad about? He said himself victims of gun violence were acceptable.

Don't forget the tailgate images of Biden tied up.

What's to feel bad about? Briefly, that people are so fucked up in general. Kirk just happened to be a lot worse than most. But he's far from alone in his awful beliefs. Look around the Internet and you will see people giddy and you will see people declaring civil war on the left. We're fucked and that's nothing to celebrate. I'm glad he's dead but it's likely that every day will be worse than the last in America until there's no America anymore.

you will see people declaring civil war on the left

Mango Mussolini comes to mind.

As not one of those people. I would never expect anyone to show him respect, but to want to watch anyone die for pleasure is insane. Frankly.
