    Get wrecked white supremacist fascist, advocate for gun violence and against empathy means you shouldn’t be surprised when someone takes you up on that bet.

    “I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - G M Gilbert

      I feel like it’s cruel but this should be posterized and waved around his funeral. Maybe the people dressed in black will understand the concept of empathy then, violence really does seem to be the only language a fascist understands.

        These ass hats tried to make empathy a bad word to give license for them to be evil. But they will lash out and cry when other ppl don’t show them empathy. Fuck 'em.

          Elon Musk cried like a little bitch when people burned his teslas and protested his ass for being a nazi… and he did that right after saying that empathy is wrong.

      Charlie Kirk is dead. Good.

        nah, the mods over at /news are going ban happy if anybody says anything resembling approval of the outcome of this event

        pretty pathetic considering the community and instance rules weren’t broken

            I guess they just got pissy at me when I called them out on it because they removed one of my comments that wasn’t even as “bad” as a bunch of others I see over there now

            so they’re just pissy little cunts, I guess

            “finally some good news jfc maybe we’re not cooked???” is what they removed as “praising/promoting violence”, which is (1) inaccurate, and (2) not even against the rules of the instance or community

            then I called them out on deleting anti-Nazi comments and they got butthurt

    My coworker showed me the video. Then proceeded to tell me that he’s been watching Kirk since last year and that it was probably a “transgender” that shot him. My coworker is Mexican. Also several other coworkers stated that they enjoy the things that he used to say.

      The most respectful thing we can do is honor his beliefs:

      “I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” - Charlie Kirk

      "“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that has done a lot of damage” - Charlie Kirk

      “Guns save lives” - Charlie Kirk

        Apparently his oldest just turned 3, his youngest is 18 months or so. I wonder how often they’re going to be pushed in front of a camera in the next year or two. They’re probably going to be raised hearing that their daddy was this wonderful man who died trying to make the US a better place. I just hope that when they’re adults they’re able to shake off the brainwashing.

        No idea. My limited knowledge of him is that he was a commununity college dropout who spread hate for profit and was shot.

      I can’t find video since everything is flooded with news people talking about it and won’t show the actual footage. Got a link?

      Edit: found one on mastodon. It’s extremely NSFL. Do not watch if even remotely squeamish. I fucking hate that motherfucker and it was still pretty tough to watch. Very lights-out.

        I saved it, not sure where to post without it getting taken down tho…

        Edit: If anyone wants to see it and can’t find it, message and I can send a link. I don’t want to post it here as it’s probably against the rules. just be forewarned, it is NSFL and shows a lot of blood squirting.

          That wasn’t squirting. That was a gusher. I doubt he even knew what happened. His hands instantly clenched. Immediate access to the machine elves.

            It’s too bad that he just suddenly appeared in hell(*) looking around like Confused Travolta. It would have been more just if his brain had had a minute or two to process that after spending his life promoting guns, he was killed by a gun.

            (* Yeah, hell doesn’t exist, but he thought it did)
