RIP Charlie Kirk.
You were a good Christian man with moral principles with a wife and 2 kids. You were killed by a lunatic while you were exercising your freedom of speech, you were persecuted by your opponents. Some may say that’s a form of fascism, the same party that accused you of being.
The violent rhetoric of the left influenced some weak minded soul to take you from your children, and also taken your quotes out of context.
Charlie Kirk never robbed a pregnant woman at gun point, or robbed a bank, or killed a woman on a train, but instead encouraged open conversation between all parties so they could understand each other in a meaningful way.
May you rest in peace, and may your naysayers see the evil in their ways and repent. They may mock you because they’re unable to refute your debates, but they will reap what they sow.
RIP Charlie Kirk

Good luck talking to these guys there like 2 year olds that can’t have a Adult discussion. They’re philosophically and morally in mature children.

Truly, without sarcasm, I invite you to read the gospels and actually get to now about Jesus. The shortest is Mark and can be read through in one evening.
Lumisal@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah he also never did anything Jesus taught. But if I’m wrong I’d be glad for you to show evidence of it. Otherwise your silence is admittance that you know you’re wrong.
Even the Bible shows that violence isn’t only sin, as Jesus showed when he flipped the tables at the temple and even took the time to make a whip to chase out the money changers. In this case the changing of money for example being blasphemous enough to warrant violence from Jesus.
Likewise, Kirk never directly was violent with anyone, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t sinful.
That you think the left is the only one spouting violent rhetoric though shows that you’re just talking in bad faith however, when there are so many examples of the right wing - the one currently in absolute power + of doing so that it would probably be more than the word limit a comment on Lemmy has. I’m sure a book could be written just from violent quotes from the right. And not even recently but going on for decades.
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Ahh a “good christian man” he was anything but. Why do all of the “good christians” go against everything Jesus taught? Why do they only use his name to oppress others? A true christian would welcome and accept those that are different not try and belittle and shame them for their differences.
Begone CHUD.

Didn’t he say gun violence is unfortunate cost just so people can own a gun to protect from the boogie man? I’d say live by the gun, die by the gun. He got his honorable death or something so you should be happy.
fosho@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
violent rhetoric of the left?
as far as Ive seen the left mostly talks about taxing the wealthy and universal health care while the right focuses on removing women’s, trans rights and jailing immigrants.
do you have examples of this violent rhetoric?

Great foreshadowing too.
Earlier this year, Utah passed House Bill 128 allowing people to conceal carry firearms on university campuses. One of the campuses where conceal carry was now permitted is, of course, Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk was visiting today. He was sitting under a tent with the slogan “Prove Me Wrong”.
Immediately before the shooting, he was taking questions from the audience:
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” an audience member asked. Kirk responded, “Too many.”
The questioner followed up: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk asked.
Then a single shot rang out.

It’s unfortunate that he’s ineligible for the Darwin Award because he leaves behind 2 very young children and a culture warrior wife, because otherwise he’d be a great nominee for the 2025 Darwin Awards. Normally to get a Darwin Award someone has to directly kill themselves. But, I think in this case we could have make an exception for someone who was a cheerleader for gun rights and was sitting directly under a banner saying “Prove Me Wrong” when he was killed with a gun.
vga@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
This was apparently done by a sniper, so not really a conceal carry thing.
merc@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Surely the sniper was stopped by all the people conceal carrying though? I’m told that lots of guns makes everything ever so much safer.

I actually looked up that meme template before making this, but then I realized that’s not Charlie Kirk. It’s another, though at least alive, conservative commentator Steven Crowder. Who, I imagine, is probably questioning his career choices today.

You guys don’t understand. I am so sick of seeing calls for violence. I’m so sick of seeing coldness toward violence.
Someone is going to want to retaliate. That’s what the fuck violence brings. Unless you win completely, and the only kind of motherfuckers who win completely are people who exterminate everyone who opposes them.
Is that what the fuck we want?
Do we want to see important figures in a left-wing movement assassinated? Someone is going to be upset enough to fire a gun at someone you care about.
Violence begets violence.
I can’t stand reading this shit anymore. I really can’t.
A bunch of fucking keyboard warriors stoked as shit when someone gets killed. Never ever fucking smart enough to think about what comes next. Well, get ready for it. Someone is going to be angry enough to shoot back, that is a promise. Go look at a fucking history book. Nobody takes this kind of thing sitting down.
If you think anything good is going to come from this, you are a goddamn fool.
Liters in a movement you care about are about to be assassinated in retaliation by some moron with a fucking gun.
I’ve got to get the fuck away from all this noise. I’m half tempted to fucking throw my phone in the creek and never look back.
Y’all want to kill each other and then cheer when someone is fucking murdered, fine.
Goddamn.
I fucking hated Charlie Kirk. If he had died naturally, I’d be the first one to piss on his fucking grave. Some idiot made a martyr, that’s what they did. Curious motherfucking kids who never heard anything he said will now listen to everything he ever said. You can’t kill an Ideology by killing the people who espouse said ideology.
I just want to beat my head into a fucking wall. I’m so fucking burned out. Fuck anybody who is OK with bullets traveling through the flesh of any of their fellow men. Go into a field and fire the guns yourselves against other idiots who want to fire guns, the rest of us are sick of your fucking violence.
Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
This IS the begotten violence. MAGA chuds have already killed what they perceive to be left wing leaders. And their own leaders are in the process of killing the rest of us. No one wants this, but when the violence has been already happening? Yeah, it’s nice to see that it’s a nazi dead for once.
But I’d much prefer there weren’t nazis in power trying to put me and others like me in the fucking death camps first. Until then, yeah I’m going to cheer when a nazi dies.

Well go be violent then. Fuck it up for those of us that don’t want any part in your bullshit.
I’m out. I’m done. I’m tired of reading shit from you cowards who do nothing day in and day out but inspire crazy people.
You’re animals. You’re no better than goddamn wild animals…except you call other people to violence and do nothing. That’s all that is left of your humanity. You’re like Hitler. You dream of gassing your enemies but you’re too cowardly to run the camps yourselves.
Comment back when you’ve killed someone you coward. Go on. Get out there. What’s stopping you?
Let me guess, you’re too comfortable. Your life is ok. Day in and day out with your little dopamine hits. Dreaming and doing nothing.
Go on, coward. Kill someone. Or are you somehow above it? Is that why I’m reading about people other than you in the news every day?
Shut your goddamn mouth until you’ve fired a shot. When you do, I hope you’re crucified in the streets.
I’m so done. I really am.
save_the_humans@leminal.space 7 months ago
There’s a Wikipedia page on nonviolent revolutions, so is violence itself necessary or is the threat of violence sufficient? History may not actually be in complete agreement in favor of violent resistance.
“Nonviolent campaigns have a 53% success rate and only about a 20% rate of complete failure. Things are reversed for violent campaigns, which were only successful 23% of the time, and complete failures about 60% of the time. Violent campaigns succeeded partially in about 10% of cases, again comparing unfavorably to nonviolent campaigns, which resulted in partial successes over 20% of the time.”

quacky@lemmy.world 7 months ago
some thoughts
- he made a lot of people feel powerless with his manipulative debate tactics. People resort to violence when they feel powerless
- he was asked about mass shootings before being shot in public. Coincidentally, there was a high school mass shooting in Colorado the same day.
- We all have to be aware of and prepare for the risk of homicide whenever leaving the house
