Fuck all this “let’s not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent” bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let’s dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck

      I have empathy for his living family. I am appalled that he’s being treated like a martyr.

        Kirk is responsible for elevating the tensions that are rocketing us towards a civil war. He’s stated he’s against empathy and that school shootings are necessary for gun rights to exist. He spreads these opinions as aggressively as he is able. How exactly isn’t the world better off without that?

          Idk man. I guess it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. The empathy i feel is more of a philosophical kind of empathy. I’ve watched the close up video too many times and the way he slumps over and just dies isn’t pretty.

          I’ve tried to substitute him for Trump or Nick Fuentes and I can’t say for certain whether I’d feel the same empathy which leads me to believe i didn’t hate Kirk as much as those other names i mentioned and I’m fine with that, but lemmy tries to make it seem like that’s a “wrong” thing, but people aren’t wrong for how they feel they are only wrong when they use those feelings to make wrong decisions.
