Funny I looked you up and basically everyone dislikes your opinions on this platform ๐ I think you might be the one with the issue
I do have an issue. All you cunts laughing at a dead man, laughing at the trauma his kids are going through, and calling for more deaths for the high crime of people who dont agree with you. Youre all fucking batshit insane. The fact you think being surrounded means Im the asshole, is a fucking wild theory, mate. Maybe take a look at the echo chamber you are in, and ask yourself if laughing at people being murdered and the subsequent pain of their loved ones makes you the fucking good guy in all this... Spoiler alert, it doesnt. Its fucking ghoulish behaviour. The fact there so many of you, is fucking scary.
"Disagreement" is not the same thing as doing active harm to myself and people I care about. His right to speech ends where violating the rights of others begins.
Imagine YOUR child gets murdered in cold blood and some scumbag shithead goes on national TV and talks about how they're a necessary sacrifice and we should be ready to accept that, and then prevents any action that could prevent the next one.
Here's my free speech: while I don't condone extrajudicial murder, the world is better off without him and I won't pretend it's not because of how that came to be. It's a tragedy that his children will grow up without a father, but the hundreds of families of murdered children that won't have to hear him mocking and fighting them will grow up in a better world. Plenty of horrible people who do horrible things have families. If you want to be remembered fondly, stop doing horrible things.
And you want to talk about ghoulish? Being a good father to your children with the money you get from stripping rights from other people and ruining their lives and ability to have good relationships and lives of their own, and not feeling the tiniest bit of remorse about it? That's ghoulish. That's the definition of ghoulish.
Not only did he excuse gun violence and the deaths of innocent people, he also disparaged the concept of empathy. Now that he is the victim of the gun system he endorsed, you expect us to offer him the empathy that he denied other, more worthy people?
People who don't offer respect or tolerance to others, shouldn't expect it in return. It's not a difficult concept to understand, nor is it immoral.
Do you have the same empathy for the innocent people who died in Iraq/Afghanistan/Gaza? Other gun deaths? Gang members have families too. The tens of thousands who die to car accidents every year? The answer is NO. You're just using a single death to attack people you don't like. When Hillary, Biden, or some other democrat dies MAGA will celebrate.
Its not about sympathy, about the cheering it on. If you were all cheering on the deaths of kids in Gaza, Id call you out on it as well. The point isnt sympathy or empathy or anything else like that. Its about YOU, and those like you, acting the way you are in public forums. You want to be seen to be cheering for murder. You are treating it like your team scored a touch down. Its the type of thing that MAGA does, yet here you all are. Acting just like the people you hate.
You think Im upset with you because you dont care that Kirk got killed. I dont care that Kirk got killed. What I care about is that WE, the supposed left, dont all get radicalised to the point that we dont see ourselves acting just like the pricks that we hate. But look at you all? Laughing, cheering, saying "get JK next!" and many other repugnant as fuck things. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Youve become the very people you hate. And its disgusting.
I felt more sympathy for his poor kids when he was still alive.
You dont have to feel sympathy for him, you can be happy hes dead if you want. Its the public cheering and back slapping that ghoulish. Why do you all feel the need to take to social media, and cheer and clap and say dumb shit like "rest in piss"? Cos, up until this week, I thought that was the purview of the MAGA pricks. But here you all are, acting just like them. And none of you see the problem, which is alarming.
I don't really care if you find the gleeful reaction alarming. They're proud fascists. Right now, Charlie is one of the few good ones, and I hope all the rest follow in his footsteps.
No they arent, at least, not any more than you are. You lot really dont understand that word. Youve all just said it so much, it means the same amount of nothing that "woke" and "boomer" and "simp" do now. You lot abuse the fucking of buzzwords, and then scratch your head when youre repeatedly proven wrong. Left, right, doesnt matter. If youre part of the culture wars, 9 times of 10, youre dumbest cunt in every room.
Thought so. Fuck off fascist.
Dont lie, you dont think. You just repeat dogshit.
