    Nah. We’re focusing on removing things that are in direct contrast to instance-wide rules (directly advocating violence).

        You literally said a human being deserved to be shot in the throat in front of everyone for saying words. How far is your head up your own ass.

          Kirk literally said kids should watch public executions, so arguably, he was just providing an example.

          I know Hitler comparisons are kinda stale, but Hitler never actually killed anyone (even during his WW1 military service apparently). He just said words and then other people killed for him. The same is true for plenty of dictators and politicians that indirectly caused the deaths of thousands or millions. Words have power.

            It was true then, and it’s still true now.

            Inciting violence is OK if you’re a conservative.

          As he was shot, he was suggesting that transgender people are more likely to become mass shooters, which is a dangerous lie that the current administration is itching to use to remove 2A rights and potentially institutionalize/forcibly detransition transgender people. There are also likely transgender people to be murdered themselves as part of the hatred that he is participating in whipping up.

          I do hope that it wasn’t a trans person. But yes, I am happy that he is dead. When Donald Trump dies, I will be happy. If Alex Jones dies I will be happy. These people are actively destructive to society. They chose to dedicate their lives to harming others. People who harm others should not be surprised when that is turned the other way.

            I mean, devil’s advocate here but that wording yes it does. I imagine if it was worded more as “I’m happy it happened” than “this should happen to anyone who does this” it wouldn’t count as inciting. Though that being said I have no clue, just using my powers of empathy to see if I can understand the thing. Something that a certain someone didn’t use.

              It’s too bad Charlie Kirk will never be able to attempt to feel empathy, not that he ever would have.

            This way lies madness.

            Yes, he was a human being. With all of the associated rights, responsibilities, and various other baggage that comes attached to that. Dehumanization of the other is exactly what leftists are upset at conservatives over, and is what leads to situations like present day Palestine and Israel, where people are killed en masse with no remorse. The IDF is reportedly having fun murdering civilians. The only way that happens is that they are taught these Palestinians are not people, they are animals. This is what it leads to.

            Was Charlie Kirk a piece of shit scum fucking loser who deserved exactly what he got? Yeah, absolutely. I will not shed a single tear over this man’s passing and I wish they shot him an additional time in the knees first.

            But he was also a human being. No matter how disgusting our opponent we should not stoop to dehumanization. If we must kill them we must kill with a heavy heart. To do otherwise is to dehumanize yourself.

              There is no need for heavy heart on justified killing, he was actively speaking in favor of limiting other peoples freedom and spreading hate all around him where ever he went. Only thing he was good at was deflecting questions and points that went against he’s believes. Hell, he’s legacy will most likely be used to fuel the hate even more.

              We should not feel bad about the death of some purely evil people. The world will be a lot better place without him. Sure dehumanization should not be extended to civilians or masses of people but rather on some individual people who are full of hate and evil to the core.

              they dehumanize themselves. and everyone else, but thats besides the point. i was raised by garbage to be garbage and i didn’t turn out like them. they could all choose to be better than what they currently are, if they don’t they are the ones choosing to make themselves out to be less than. they dehumanize others because of inherent traits, thats vastly different than what the wizard or any other lefty did or does.

        I don’t understand why they are so careful, no ones taking any of the social media sites with nonstep threats of violence against liberals all day, leftists always cater to the right to be nice while the right steps on them

          Exactly. I’m tired of taking the high road or “being the better person” while monsters like him actively call for my death on a near daily basis.

          This trans bitch is going to get a cake and put “The only good nazi…” on it.

          Nice people still believe that tolerating the intolerance works.

          It fucking doesn’t.

          My only regret is that it took me decades to actually understand that. I always believed that being nice and compassionate to others, no matter how much they hate would eventually woke out. It doesn’t.

          Now I tell cunts to eat a dick immediately, no more wasting time being nice.
