Fuck all this "let's not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent" bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let's dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Assuming we're talking about genuine empathy rather than performative fake empathy:
Somebody living in poverty will suffer a lot more in a week than this guy did his whole life, including when he died and after his dead he was beyond all suffering.
The only people in this whom my heart goes to are his family, and I bet at least his children are better off since the guy was a Psychopath or Sociopath so I'm actually thorn between feeling pain for them and actually being happy for them - it really depends what kind of dad he was and my expectation isn't that he was a good one. Similary for his wife.
Also he was wealthy, obtained through ill means and spreading suffering. His wife and children will be well cared for and will want for nothing.
Fair point. I'm more concerned with people celebrating this like it's some victory when in reality, such reactions only okay the same thing to be done to leftist commentators
The same thing has been happening to left leaning people in the USA for decades, arguably more.
I suppose such reactions are the product of this kind of thing happening to this kind of person feeling a lot like Karma, or Natural Justice, especially when the Legal kind of Justice isn't actually Just, not even close.
I suspect people would celebrate this a lot less if they felt that Legal Justice worked and equally made people accountable for their actions.
This guy has been instrumental in indirectly making a lot of people suffer, in some cases to quite extreme levels, so the glee of many when he paid the ultimate price for it is understandable.
True, Empathy has nothing to do with such reactions.
Empathy for the people he's left behind. He's dead, it's not for him.
Why should I feel any empathy for whoever raised or willingly married this formerly-breathing POS? I think my empathy is way better spent on the people he continuously discriminated, victimized and oppressed.
As a father, he was advocating for a world where school shootings are a normal, and according to him necessary, occurrence. He believed children as young as 12 should be made to watch public executions. He defended and supported pedophiles. If have any empathy for his children it isn't because he died, but because they had him as a father in the first place.
Didn't know you had a limited supply.
I feel empathy for people who are suffering and that likely includes the family of this guy.
It's not a matter of having a limited supply. Quite simply I cannot feel any empathy for people who caused their own suffering as a consequence of causing the suffering of millions of others. Anyone who supported and surrounded Charlie Kirk enabled him and most likely shared his opinions, which is just as awful as his direct actions. They fostered the climate that took him away from them. Crocodile tears, FAFO, leopards eating faces, call it whatever you like.
