Fucking wild that a right-wing YouTuber/social media influencer was assassinated on my birthday.
I’m genuinely sickened by how many people have been openly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death, like having conservative views or supporting the right to bear arms literally makes you Hitler in their eyes. His two young childen have been robbed of their father, and people are still cheering like they’d genuinely use his grave as a gender neutral toilet.
Also, I worry this is going to be America’s Reichstag Fire or Kristallnacht moment. This could very well lead to pogroms against leftists and ethnic minorities.
Charlie was against empathy, you are being disrespectful by showing empathy to him and his family. Stop.
Also stop referencing the Reichstag fire as though the gestapo isn’t already rounding up immigrants and dissidents. You’re just afraid they’ll start targeting people who look like you (something that was already in the plan, btw).
I agree that we should not ever celebrate someone’s death. Violence isn’t the answer. Sometimes it’s required to defend yourself, but it doesn’t solve problems.
With all that being said, if you think that motivation for his killing was that he was a right wing, 2nd amendment type, well, I’ve got some land in Australia I’d like to sell you.
The guy was genuinely horrible to a lot of non conservatives, and thought gun violence was “a small price to pay” for the second amendment.
Others have detailed his horrific viewpoints far better than I could, so I’ll just leave it at that.
As much as I don’t condone violence, I’m not going to get sad about someone I didn’t know, who held beliefs I don’t agree with, has died. I have some measure of sympathy for his kids. His spouse knew who they were marrying, so I have less sympathy for them, but the kids, in my opinion, are the victims in all of this, if anyone. They didn’t ask for this guy to be their father, and they certainly don’t deserve to lose their father in such a public and very visible way. I have zero doubts that they will eventually see the footage that’s floated around the Internet, if they have not seen it already. That’s a tragedy. They’ll have to see, in full color, the last moments of their fathers life.
I can only imagine the kind of trauma that could impart. I truly feel bad for those kids.
Appreciate you saying this. I too worry that some will take this event as a call to action. We all need to chill with this left/right nonsense. These are our brothers and sisters that are getting killed. I don’t care if they had bad opinions, nothing good comes from celebrating a murder.

This guy’s propaganda helped result in the unnecessary deaths of millions during the pandemic.
