I’m not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don’t always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

      Ok, so looking past the condescension. What im hearing is you have been personally affected by this or at least by something similar, and you have personal feelings of hatred that surpass your natural humanity and allow you to be ok or even enjoy watching this person die.

      What ever you want to belive about my personal situation and experiences, is of no consequence. If it looks like, from your perspective that i am taking a moral high ground, i apologise, as thats not my intention. I would argue that its possible that you might be in two minds about your own stance if you think that my stance is a “high ground” i personally dont see it that way.

      I want to understand what makes someone capable of enjoying murder. I dont personally think it matters who is murdered. Watching it is disgusting to me and makes me feel sick. Even if i am happy that someone has died, i cant watch it happen because it makes me feel sick. And i dont think thats a marol standpoint. I think its just the default. I think you need to be desensitised to things like this to be able to reach a point where not only does watching it not bother you, it actually makes you happy.

      Im not trying to put you down. I apologise for any time i made it seem that way.

      I just want to understand.

          Sorry, but you haven’t explained how you are desensitised to it. You said he affected you family or you directly, but I go into detail.

          But again. I am not arguing the point of being happy he died. Because again, i agree. I am talking about finding joy in watching that happen. Not joy in knowing he died, joy in watching someone die in a gruesome way.

          I don’t know how to be more clear in that distiction.

          I don’t know what it is, either i am not being clear, or you are too annoyed with me and angry with kirk for it to click.

          I am glad he is dead. I felt sick watching his neck explode. And i agree with people who are happy he is dead but i wish i understood why people can enjoy watching that.
