I don’t give a shit about Charlie Kirk, rest in piss, but my celebration is mildly stunted by the fact that this is a dangerous thing to normalize and this is a massive notch in that direction given how huge of a public figure he was and the nature of his assassination being so public.

Of course, the right is largely responsible for that normalization, and Charlie Kirk’s death is actually on people like Charlie Kirk’s very hands. However, for me its just the consequences and the dark future that this seems to push us further into.

Hopefully the right fails to capitalize on his death effectively and we move onto largely forgetting about the piece of shit.

Your last sentence is what I’ve been worried about as well. We all know Trump is a blathering idiot, but he’s chomping at the bit to use military powers on US soil, and so far has been with no real reason. He could very easily use this as an excuse to further deploy troops and/or push more of his fascist agenda.

  He doesn’t need an excuse though. He’s going to do it no matter what happens. There is absolutely no hope he won’t, just because you don’t make a fuzz about it. It’s not like he’s just now thinking: “well now they’ve done it! They’ve gotten violent! I gotta make concentration camps, and use military personel and weapons to quell their protests, and maybe even attack the whole democratic process!”. He’s already doing it.

  Didn’t he already deploy to Chicago? What excuse is needed when he’s already doing so? I don’t understand how everybody who portrays your sentiment is so daft/ignorant to what’s already going on.

Exactly who could have one iota of care for a shitstain who made a living spewing this type of hateful screed. Rest in Piss indeed.

  Is that a speech of his or just his opinions?

    It’s a list of the shit he’s said in the past, shit he wished to force on everyone else in the US.

We have a MAGA dictatorship with a corrupt government being led by a literal sex offender, felon, and pedophile. This guy getting shot wasn’t murder, it was a heroic attack made in self defense of our nation.

  Our nation has failed itself by letting Trump fucking win.
  
  This assassination just makes it more likely I get dragged into violent civil conflict. One that could have been avoided had every anti-trump individual had fucking voted against him winning and they didn’t.
  
  Kirk was a piece of shit but I wont be the accelerationist’s pawn. This all could have been avoided and I deeply resent that it wasn’t.

  Exactly where I’m at. I just hope the next one takes someone actually important., and useful to Project 2025. Fascism isn’t defeated with words, it’s defeated one bullet at a time. When Fascists are afraid, then we will have Liberty again.

  Not have Trump as president right now is a small first step.

  One side cannot unilaterally declare peace. We’ve tried for years and they made it clear the terms of peace are to redefine it so their violence against innocents is peace in absence of opposition.

  Same lesson the South had to learn in the late 19th century.

  Historically? With extreme violence, let’s hope we do better this time but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
