“Everybody in the thread just did what Kirk asked them to…” And you dont see the problem there?
As for the world being a better place… I highly doubt it, since hes now going to be a rallying cry for action against “the left”. Hes a martyr now, a symbol that right wing lunatics while cling to as they march down the streets demanding Trans people are butchered, immigrants, legal and otherwise, are shot in the streets. “We need you, Trump, to do a third term. Its a civil war out here, dont you know?” will be next.
Shooting people is never, ever, your first resort in silencing a voice. Facts and words are. Violence only ever causes more violence. Someone out there today, he never hurt anyone, is going to pay the price for what happened to Kirk. You know its true. You all do. Yet youre all still all over social media happy, and cheering, and back slapping.
In the famous of words of John Wick… “Consequences.”
Yup because negative consequences weren’t a thing before the guy was shot

If you haven’t heard any before, you might want to check with your ENT physician.

Consequences indeed
Being murdered for having opinions… What the fucking fuck is wrong with you utter psychos??

They were going to make up an excuse anyways. At least this way, they actually take a loss for it. If you do not understand why this was a good thing, you’re far too innocent to understand the shitty world kirk and his ilk are trying to create.

The fact you are talking like this is a team sport, should highlight to you just how far gone you are into the culture wars. A man is dead, and youre fucking celebrating it like a fucking touch down…

No. Just no. How pathetically shallow minded of you. I speak in terms of how these events play out. I am not the one othering republicans. They are the ones othering me and many of my loved ones.
If somone treats you as an enemy and disparages you as sub-human, only a fool continues as if lines have not been drawn.

Doesnt really matter what excuse you come up with, its the same ones they come up with to dehumanize others, and so on and so on. At the end of the day, youre a ghoul who cheered the death of a guy because you didnt like his opinions, and you let a fucking algorithm convince he wasnt a human being. Imagine being one of his kids, and seeing people cheer that your dad is dead. You would 100% hate everyone that cheered. The context wouldnt matter, like it fucking does anyway.
Hate spreads more hate. Thats the long and short of it. And at some point, things are going to get right out of hand and you’ll be cheering as people die. Just as long as its the right people. Because god fucking forbid any of you culture warriors actually talk to each other, instead of just reading clickable headlines and being outraged.
