Flippanarchy
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.

Kirk is responsible for elevating the tensions that are rocketing us towards a civil war. He's stated he's against empathy and that school shootings are necessary for gun rights to exist. He spreads these opinions as aggressively as he is able. How exactly isn't the world better off without that?
Idk man. I guess it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. The empathy i feel is more of a philosophical kind of empathy. I've watched the close up video too many times and the way he slumps over and just dies isn't pretty.
I've tried to substitute him for Trump or Nick Fuentes and I can't say for certain whether I'd feel the same empathy which leads me to believe i didn't hate Kirk as much as those other names i mentioned and I'm fine with that, but lemmy tries to make it seem like that's a "wrong" thing, but people aren't wrong for how they feel they are only wrong when they use those feelings to make wrong decisions.
Having empathy for him is fine, just don't judge others if they don't.
Literally the OP
I mean, I do agree with you here. Kirk was pretty low on the list of evil people, and I do empathize with him and his family.
