    Alex Jones went on his show the day Charlie Kirk died and within 20 minutes of the shots started exploiting the whole story for his own gains, letting the video of the shot hitting Kirk play on loop, in slowmo, “zoom in on that” while plugging his products and rambling about the left. He is a disgusting piece of shit grifter that doesn’t stop exploiting people’s misery, even if it’s one of his own. Kirk wasn’t even pronounced dead before Jones started building a narrative around it. If I were someone from Kirks family or company I would sue the living shit out of Jones for this, it is vile and disgusting even his co-host was a little taken aback by it.

    Cry harder you sentient anyerusm. Cry much harder and feel way more unsafe. Then you’ll know what it’s like to be queer and why I couldn’t give a damn about whether you live or die

        Almost as if any of these grifters don’t believe anything they themselves say. I thought it would be more comforting that these people were idiots, but no, its just evil.

        He still got one thing left to lose, and that’s another story I would celebrate.

        Death that has an actual positive influence, and ends negative influence should be celebrated.

        Him dying would make me, all the SH families, and a lot of people that have wanted him to stfu since his first public appearance smile (positive influence), while ending his career (negative influence.

        The good and bad definitions vary between people, and that’s ok, different groups will celebrate different ones.

        I don’t agree with murder being the method they die by, until their negative influence is so high that I start to consider it an execution instead of murder.

    Republicans keep acting like they weren’t the ones starting this trend. They were nasty towards Obama for 8 years. And Trump came in and increased the nastiness towards anybody that said anything against him.

      The guy that shot the Kirk was still one of them, just from a sect that couldn’t stand him.

      If anything, from recent assassinations only Luigi could be connected with the left, but even then it looks more like he did it due to personal experience with UnitedHealth.

    I really don’t get how people can see what Charlie Kirk has said and celebrate this man’s message. Our country is already fallen to idiocy.

      It’s because to them the only thing that mattered was his in-group status. He was a “great Christian”, not because he followed Jesus, but simply because he identified as such and did it loudly.

      They don’t see what he said. Most of the probably haven’t actually listened to him or even thought about him before this.

      But even if they had listened to him in the past, or looked him up now, the grounding bias of “he’s a good person”/“he’s on our side” has been established. That’s a bias that’s nearly intractable.

      It’s better to think of it more like a virtue signalling club. It’s the epitome of in vs out group.

      It doesn’t matter what your group beleives/say, but when someone in your group beleives or say something you’ve gotta do it +1. So they’re all trying to one up each other to be like “see I’m not one of them, I’m one of you… No actually, I’m more like you than you”

      It’s actually, unfortunately, a very common/normal social group interaction. Like, everyone does it, but normally in small amounts, or about harmless topics.

      E.g a bunch of metal heads talking about metal bands (which coincidentally all have death in the name) "I really like ‘mega death’ ", “yeah but they’re not as heavy as ‘death’”, “well they’ve got nothing on ‘napalm death’” etc.

      It’s the actual terrifying result of online echo chambers. More extreme people egg each other on and get more extreme. And it’s ironically what they always accuse “the left/libs” of doing

    Oh, did he have plans for his future? So does everyone gunned down by senseless violence. Including criminals. Including people of colour. Including school children. Get off your high horse you lying faker, no one cares about you or your guy anymore than you care about the hundreds of school children gunned down every year in your country. I thought this idiot lost his platform? Wasn’t he forced to sell it when he lost that lawsuit about him lying and harassing children?!

    The left is now celebrating Charlie Kirk’s brutal murder

    I’m guessing there are some who do, but I can only speak for myself.

    And for myself, I’m not celebrating his brutal murder. I’m mostly just very satisfied that first, he won’t be spreading lies and misinformation anymore.

    Second, that it’s apparently right on right violence. The left isn’t responsible and it’s the right’s violent rhetoric that is giving them all of this grief.

    Third, that an evil person got his comeuppance in a manner consistent with his own rhetoric, and so all of the right’s hypocrisy is exposed.

    Fourth, that the shooter’s engraving on his ammunition show pretty clearly that he’s been failed by the education system and has succumbed to the sort of memeing brain rot that has become our modern plague, so I get to talk about that.

    Charlie Kirk was simply a person who improved a room by his absence. And now, he’s gone for good.

      TBF, it’s literally me. I probably shouldn’t front like nobody is celebrating because my post history is full of heinous and bloodthirsty jubilation at his death. I’m just not at risk for the doxxing that 4chuds are doing this week so I’m not hiding it.

      But you know the fact Kirk died and not any of the individuals who are now pretending to be victims is a fluke belying that the shooter had priorities beyond affecting the actual changes that would result from their deaths.

      This isn’t actual fear, this is just opportunism to play victim once again and drum up more insanity from people who are so far removed from danger that it only exists mythologically to them

      They’re trying to say the shooter “Had a trans girlfriend” and therefore was “totes a leftist”. Though there’s no evidence of the relationship or the person even being trans.

    David Hogg is surprisingly good at this stuff. I wish him a long and successful career. I realize that will probably mean I’m going to hate his guts in twenty years, but that’s ok.

            The same can be said for a lot of the views these days. In my youth with my white christian nationalist, church going family I was taught to be compassionate, treat others with goodwill, be polite, help others, donate, help out the community. That same family now says that’s the thinking that is hurting our country. I don’t understand how even empathy for others is now considered a bad thing. I mean, why is there an argument over “You know, I don’t want people treating me like shit. I won’t treat others like shit.”? The Golden Rule is ignored now, lest you become “woke” or a “libtard”.

      I’ve hated his guts since he started speaking out, but that’s because he’s just correct enough and has the moral standing enough that I have nothing to use against him and his pro-gun-control platform.

      He’s a DNC shill, but whether he’s a kool-aid-drinker or just using them(no sign of that, but this coin-operated boy can hope), I can’t help but wish him the best after what he’s been through.

          My lane is that Kirk needed to die, and listening to Hogg would have prevented it. Same goes for the leftist revolution that needs to happen, but I’ll settle for laughing at arterial blood spray for now, because I already know I’m an awful person. What’s your excuse?

          Hogg has views that are correct for him, what he’s lived through, and sure, decent countries, which ours is not. The one view is unfortunately incompatible with what the people need for the US government and its cronnies.
