Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

It was sad & tragic even if you disagreed with him. What signal do you think your message is sending out, and how do you think that is helpful?
A fascist death will never be tragic
Kirk consistently advocated for free speech, so I'm not sure how it helps to be happy that he was murdered for his beliefs. It sounds like you might actually support fascism, but you want it done to those you disagree with & don't like. Whatever happened to dialogue & debate. Winning people over by example?
We don't fucking know that.
A MAGA kid shot him but we don't know why. It's possible the MAGA kid just hated his wee little face and huge head. Maybe he met Kirk and Kirk was a fucking cunt to him? Maybe the MAGA kid didn't like Kirk saying to release the Epstein files?
We don't know.
we don't even know if that maga kid is actually the guy
That is also true - although I guess he's admitted it to friends and family. But, he has not been found guilty of the crime.
do we know that he actually admitted it to anyone? like, has anyone outside the government talked about him?
Are you just out of the loop? We do know that because that is what he's said:

Your thought pattern reminds me a lot of QAnon people.
Long opinion piece, but the only words actually said by the murderer are these:
This supports that he killed Kirk for his ideas, but we still don't know which ideas and if Kirk actually had those ideas or if the murderer imagined them. We still have very little information about a real motive.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to know more, but it was about his ideas. At someone point I think it becomes easier to recognize that those who claim to support Democrats, can be vicious too.
I had several people on Lemmy wishing me dead merely for calling out Biden's support of genocide. Like, at what point do people speak up & say no we're not okay with this, this isn't who we are?
When people on the left pretend, like they did with Biden claiming he was young & dynamic, saying he actually firmly stood against the genocide in Israel, all it does is push people further away. It does damage to the party & helps people like Trump. It says, we're also the party of hypocrites but we're better liars about it. When people see others claiming to be Democrats celebrating someone's death for their speech, do you think it is helping?
Like why am I like the only person here willing to say this now? Do you think that leaves me or others hopeful about the future of the Democrat party? Is everyone else here that called me the Russian bot for pointing out Biden's flaws & advocating for a better option sooner than when he dropped out, the actual Russian bots? Are they trying to push for more violence & chaos in America? Or is this really just what the Democrat party has become now?
You're the only qnon boot licker here, go test bite the curb for me
Gross dude, real gross. What goes around comes around, just remember that. This despicable stuff you're saying, that you're advocating for, will come back around to you. Just remember that. I can only hope you meet someone like me that just feels bad for how far you fell, rather than someone like yourself that has become the dehumanizing monster you're acting like.
I never fell, I truly believe in live and let live, but unlike a Republican I blame no one for my problems other than myself. The joy in my heart grows daily with the horseshit mounting by the second as we grow closer to fuckin up some Republicans like yourself for the revolution they want to incite. I'm the true patriot. Your dumbass doesn't even realize how much illegals actually pay in taxes, so next year this time expect to be a poor like me you fuckin inbred fuck
I'm not a Republican nor do I support Trump. I just believe in putting out into the universe what you hope to get back. I believe in being the better person, and leading through example. If you hated Kirk & what he represents, even justifiably, then show everyone what a better person should be.
