George Floyd and Trayvon Martin were ordinary citizens living their lives, whose deaths were linked to (and probably caused by) oppression and racism. They never wanted national attention, certainly not for this.

Kirk was a propagandist whose speech contributed to the environment of political divisiveness, bigotry and intolerance. He was a public figure who thrived on the controversy caused by his hateful speech.

I can't upvote this meme, it feels like false equivalence (I agree with the sentiment, though, it just... they don't care if they're being hypocritical. That's their game).

I don't think that that equivalence matters here, or that they don't care that they're being hypocritical.

We can still enjoy a meme about how they are hypocrites and how their stated beliefs crumble under the smallest pressure.

I get what you're saying, but they would be even more gleeful if it was some left wing icon that got an unplanned tracheostoma.

Imagine Gretta getting blasted. She's not even a propagandists, but the closest I could think of off the cuff.

Dude, they fucking fantasize about offing Greta, it's not even a rare thing amung these people

Sure but she didn't, she's not in the meme I'm critiqueing. I wouldn't have that complaint about that situation. I'd have other complaints, if I wasn't completely drowned in a bottle or something
