      Charlie thought having gun deaths was worth it to maintain the 2nd Amendment. If he were alive today he’d say the same thing, but it would sound like “gleugguuuluulge glurgle glurgle”

      No, I don’t think I will.

      Hell, if I lived in scamerica then I’d probably find his final resting place and have a shit on it. And I’d be fucking proud of it, too.

      Also, fuck you and go fuck yourself with a cactus. Cunt.

      the guy was a cunt, but I do agree that it’s weird to hold a shrine community celebrating someone’s death.

      Imagine if there was a sub solely-obsessed with the death of Hitler, posting “Hitler rekt” memes every day. It is a bit unhinged

        This sub isn’t obsessed with the death of Charlie Kirk. It’s about mocking him as a human, mocking MAGA as a movement, and calling out the lies and bullshit in a comical way.

        Kick ironically and comically died because of horrible gun control laws and ease of getting guns in the US and was shot by a young man radicalized by extreme right wing rhetoric. These are the gun laws he fully supported and the same extreme right wing rhetoric he used to promote. I think it’s hilarious.

        Hitler’s death is a constant source of amusement for many and the shitbird has been dead for what? 70 years?.

        There is a game on Steam called Fuck Hitler and the only point of the game is to desiccate the dead, ragdoll body of Hitler. It’s fun for a laugh but honestly not very deep.

      Well, the person who killed him wasn’t from one of the groups he used to demonize, so I’d say yes, he did. His last words were him continuing to spew his hateful misinformation to gullible idiots. The world is better off without him around.

      He was in the middle of trying to brush off gun violence as gang related, which is code for “black people”. And literally in the middle of saying his racist bit, he got shot in the neck by a white conservative.

      So you tell me.

        Look, I’m not saying “easy access to guns might result in bad people getting what they deserve” was a good argument for him to have made, but you gotta admit the practical demonstration was pretty effective in driving home the point.

          You’re not wrong, it’s just that there’s better ways to achieve that end state without the rampant school shootings that happen every other day in the US being as easy to do as microwaving a burrito.
