Political violence is, of course, bad. But Charlie Kirk got what he deserved, and it's not like this is the first time ever for political violence, it's not even the first politically motivated killing this year. Fuck Charlie Kirk, a true bad faith debate pioneer, responsible for indoctrinating a generation into believing that actually racist bigoted totalitarianism was a good idea. I remember thinking Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit when I was in college and now that he's dead he's just a dead piece of shit. Being dead doesn't make you magically a better person. Fuck Charlie Kirk and fuck every MSNBC liberal who says political violence is too far now, but can't even remember Melissa Hortman's name.
