"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, 2023

I hope that's this little cock sucker's epitaph. Rest in piss you small-minded cuck. Wasted your life spewing hate and garbage, let it guide you to your final rest.

Be careful, celebrating too much will get your comment taken down by mods.

Can’t be happy about dead Nazis.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 60 points 2 days ago (5 children)

If he dies, I will legitimately cheer.

[–] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

The news already brightened my day.

He's literally called for attacks on trans people as well as other marginalized groups. He was one of many who were laughing at assaults on liberals and the left. He and others have actively caused harm and death.

Fuck'em. I won't "directly" call for violence, but I will engage in shaudenfruede. They can taste their own medicine.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

He deserves the same amount of empathy he would give any of us. Absolutely zero

Genuinely asking so I don't have to wade through a cesspool... Do you have some sources I can scour through?

In 2024, Kirk cited Leviticus 20:13 (“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them”) as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters”.[105]

Kirk argued against gender affirming care for transgender people, saying, “We must ban trans-affirming care — the entire country. Donald Trump needs to run on this issue”, according to Media Matters.

copying a different comment, but there ya go. there are absolutely more examples to look for too, but i am not going through a dead nazi's history rn, too busy having a good time.

He's dead. I hated him but I can't cheer.

This is too violent, too awful for the country I grew up in. I am sad not because I give a shit about a dirtbag like Kirk, but that we are now losing Rule of Law and the social contract. We are falling as a nation, and this is just one more domino in that process. They made this world for us but they're not the only ones who are going to suffer from it.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is what happens when violent and hateful rhetoric is allowed to be aired freely under the guise of "good Christian values", while voices calling for checks notes being nice to other people are silenced. We all know that sowing division absolutely rakes in the profits, so do the math on who benefits from that.

This is not a right or left issue. This is the tolerant refusing to tolerate the intolerant after nothing else has worked.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

but that we are now losing Rule of Law and the social contract.

The last chance to recover this was gone when Biden failed to uphold it against Trump and his followers after Jan. 6. Now Trump is back and throwing the last vestiges of law and order away. You need to accept that we're not going to vote our way back to normalcy.

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

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (15 children)

How did my removed comment directly incite violence?

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

checking. Wasn't me.

I don't remember comments getting removed when Brian Thompson was killed

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] tortina_original@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

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.

Ironically, this assassin literally justified the 2nd Amendment. You use it to off tyrants. And boy they sure did.

To quote Jesus: live by the sword, die by the sword.

That’s all that comes to mind.

These people who have been pushing for getting rid of trans people and throwing immigrants in concentration camps, and generally just calling for (and profiting from) hate need to realize doing so only has one consequence: more hate. Hate boils into violence.

People can pray for him, but he did not live a life according to Jesus’ teaching when he preached hate.

Just in case there was ambiguity for anyone, he suggested we kill homosexuals, and ban life-saving healthcare for trans people.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He was literally debating trans people as mass shooters when shot according to the reports I read.

The important takeaway here is, we know he'd be happy to have been shot. I think that victim statement should be taken into account in the eventual trial.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

It's just... too poetic. I wish we weren't here as a country, and that's so heartbreaking, but we've been heading here for years if not decades.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

He became the sacrifice he hungered for, good riddance

[–] Xella@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

LMAO what a quote.
