He had shitty opinions, we know. I won't follow them. I will have empathy and I will not celebrate his death. Still, I think the world's population improved with one less hateful person around.

He had shitty opinions

I think we should stop saying this.

He was killed for his actions, not his opinions. His audience members are the ones who kill for opinions.

Discussing his personal opinions feels like a bit of a republican both sidesing talking point, honestly. I mean, if one side can kill the other just for having conservative opinions, then certainly they can fight back and kill people just for having blue hair and using the "wrong" bathroom!

It was the same with talk radio hosts decades ago. People would argue whether Limbaugh or Hannity really believe all the BS or if they just do it for ratings.

I only remember caring about that distinction when I was still immersed in the conservatism I was born into.

edit: added many word was not there

I will have empathy

How dare you dishonor his memory.

The more we normalize assassinations, the worse the world becomes. America is slightly more fucked today, not because this guy died, but because extrajudicial assassinations are not cool. This only accelerates the collapse of american society and rule of law.

Some tankies/accelerationists want this, but they are mostly clueless kids.

[–] Kaerkob@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Just to add, assassinations are not cool whether they're extrajudicial or not.

You can celebrate his death without celebration his murder. I'm not from the us so what I think doesn't matter, but I think both things can be true "good thing he is dead, his killer should get proper punishment, if everyone takes justice into their own hands we lose every semblance of a functional society"

I'd also add the argument of, "Don't stare into the abyss, lest we become the monsters we're denouncing."

What would you say if someone on the left was killed as revenge?
