Not enough slurs if you're going for authenticity.
The trouble is that -- at least for now -- the worst things we can call them aren't considered slurs.

We’re at the Thought Police stage it appears.
Also, Charlie Kirk was a rage-spewing hate-muppet who was killed by an even worse wannabe nazi piece of societal deadweight. He got what he deserved. Come at me, THINKPOL.
NPR just posted an article about this, and it’s no longer “several” but rapidly escalating. I’ll repost what I wrote in that article on !politics@lemmy.world
This is not merely the escalation of political violence against the right’s out groups, it is the proliferation of a culture of right wing terrorism. They said it was civil war, and while that rhetoric has tempered due to the unsurprising discovery that the assassin was yet another right wing radical, they fully intend to escalate their civil war goals by robbing opponents of their means to survive in our capitalist hellscape of a country.
This is my advice, if you find someone who has had their livelihoods stolen from them for expressing relief at a slightly kinder world, share their employer. Share the website, the Yelp, flood them with emails and 1-star reviews letting them know that terrorism will not be tolerated.
The republicans said we are war. It may not be a war of bullets and bombs, at least not yet, but do not doubt them.
What is the legality of the terminations?
In the US, most states have no worker protections whatsoever and you can be fired for anything or nothing. The worst part is, employers can and do lie about their reasons for harming their workers in order to prevent them from collecting even the pittance that is unemployment, and the workers have very little recourse. Worse, potential employers asking applicants why they left their past jobs or if they have ever been fired has become standard practice in the US, despite such questions being very inappropriate.
Wasn't Charlie supposed to be some kind of advocate for free speech? Because this sure doesn't seem very free speechy.
They didn't want Free speech they wanted hate speech
Free speech - offer not valid for some political persuasions, mouthy women, POC, foreigners, those not sufficiently ~~Marklar~~, excuse me, "maga", non-xtians...etc.
THE MAN SAID CHILDREN GETTING MURDERED EVERY OTHER WEEK WHERE THEY GO TO LEARN WAS WORTH IT SO HE COULD PLAY WITH GUNS. CHILDREN. CHIL. DREN.
It really is to the point now where public employees don't get to have a personal life.
Many years ago I got in trouble at work for posting a meme making fun of the bible. A client of ours didn't like it and complained to my boss. This was on my personal facebook page at the time.
I learned from that lesson
I dare anyone to figure out who my current employer is, unless your a cop and know my real name and have the ability to pull my records from the IRS you aren't going find out.
People, please. Let me be your voice, I work for myself, and in a way where my good will means fuck all. I can’t be touched and I’m a massive fucking asshole
I like the way Snrub thinks!
Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, meanwhile, has ordered staff “to find and identify military members, and any individual associated with the Pentagon, who have mocked or appeared to condone Charlie Kirk’s murder”, NBC News reportedFriday.
Wessel's funeral was given wide attention in Berlin, with many of the Nazi elite in attendance. After his death, he became a propaganda symbol in Nazi Germany. A march for which he had written the lyrics was renamed the "Horst-Wessel-Lied"("Horst Wessel Song"), and became the official anthem of the Nazi Party. After Adolf Hitler came to national power in 1933, the song became the co-national anthem of Germany, along with the first verse of the previous "Deutschlandlied", also known as "Deutschland über alles".
It’s word-for-word (better in the original German) the same playbook. This ToiletPaperUSA guy is, I guess you could say, a kind of . . . nuclear Wessel.
Heh.
Yeah, yeah, I’m going
Criminalizing your political opponents is very much on brand
So, it's okay to lionize the guy - and that's not political speech that a company or org needs to worry about?
Right?
The problem is if you don't show sufficient sadness about the killing of a Nazi?
Shouldn't liberals maybe be keeping lists and doxxing the people that show outsized support for this Nazi, and demanding that THEY be cancelled?
I thought conservatives don't like cancel culture
Maybe I just don't pay enough attention to right wing online culture (it's too exhausting) but why are they acting like this guy was the second coming of Saint Ronald Reagan? Like was he that important to them? Would they have the same reaction if it was Shapiro or Crowder? Are they just outraged that one of their own caught a bullet?
Because his death gives them an excuse to promote more fascism. That's it, that's the whole thing.
I never even knew this loser existed till he died lol
Yeah, that's what pisses me off so much. I get that the Nazis are butthurt that people are mocking this, but how is it that people are not being fired for publicly praising a fucking Nazi?
Instead, orgs and corps are firing those making fun of the dead Nazi?
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
This is exactly the time to spread Charlie Kirk's videos and messages far and wide. There is no better way to celebrate the man than to let the world hear his message. It is his legacy. It was his life's work.
And the Democrats in Congress should write up the "Charlie Kirk Sensible Gun Reform Bill" with background checks and red flag laws. That's it. Surely this is the time, in the face of senseless death, to honour Charlie by bringing this bill forward.

I mean I for one plan to visit the man’s grave before I die to pay my respects
And I don’t plan on pissing the entire drive there
Isn't America all about free speech?
It's nice that you think that, but no, it's only allowed and celebrated if you're speaking fascist rhetoric.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Laura Loomer, a Trump loyalist, posted to X: “Prepare to have your whole future professional aspirations ruined if you are sick enough to celebrate his death. I’m going to make you wish you never opened your mouth.”
jokes on her, i don't have any professional aspirations, future aspirations, or future. may past performance indicate future results.
What's even crazier about the crazy shit this crazy bitch spouts, is the vitriolic hatred she's spewed directly at Kirk even within the weeks just before he was shot. All scrubbed from her media account now, of course. There's a lot of indication that it was her stochastic terrorism that drove the shooter (who subscribed to her X feed) to pull the trigger, because of her comments that Kirk wasn't pure enough for the magats.
Also, where are the Epstein files?
Yeah, why aren't we applauding Charlie using his feedom of speech? /s
They got a website where MAGA can just submit anyone on their social media feeds for being anti-Kirk, and they'll happily doxx you it seems, and it does have that chilling effect, I deleted anything about it and am slowly pruning the conservatives out of my friend list if this is what it's coming to.
Plenty of neo-Nazi shitbags holding candles in the photo. The companies, politicians, school leadership, etc...are revealing themselves too.
fascism in progress
There needs to be protests to force them to be reinstated. We have to have solidarity to fight this.
They need to be made to understand that capitulating to the fascists -- let alone being one -- is worse for them than standing up to them.
the purge has been underway
I hate that people keep bringing up free speech like that means you can say whatever you want without consequences.
Free speech means the government cannot act on what your saying alone. Anyone else and corporations are fully allowed to react anyway they want to your 1st amendment rights. Including firing you, or using their 2nd amendment rights.
