My reaction was just: "it sucks to suck".

RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

And then people post shit like this here: "Russian and Chinese Bots Fueling Online ‘Violence’ After Charlie Kirk Shooting
As if it's not 'normal' people not giving a fuck about some hate spreading dead nazi.
Him making an incredibly racist statement only for the universe's immediate rebuttal to be "we're taking your blood back" was pretty funny.
I got more of a cold sense of "you reap what you sow" justice. If you go around slapping people in the face don't be shocked if you get your ass kicked one day.
I won't lie, when I saw the front row video I felt bad for a second, but that's inherent empathy. That shit didn't last long when I remembered who was shot. While I am not overjoyed by his assassination, all I can think of is that it was much deserved. I am glad he won't spread hate anymore.
I try to keep it for myself, but I will not let people pretend he was a great guy. He was a piece of shit.
He was a monster. Without the Fourth Reich to prop him up, he would be just one random evil douchebag.
The world is a marginally better place with him gone. Well until they use it as pretext for carpet bombing blue cities.
They were always going to. Fuck em.
They would either have their moment or manufacture it. I'm sadly aware of that.
Right wingers: how can you celebrate a murder?
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what makes you cheer.
You can see it written on their RV's.
It doesn’t change them, but it is kinda fun to put together compilations of right wingers celebrating when decent people are murdered.
YouTube randomly gave me this:
Yes, I would like for him to be next if that's what they're saying.
Oh can we have this for christmas? Please please please please please please
Can we get some witches to put a curse on him too?
I don't think you should be feeling some of the utter glee that I'm seeing some people espouse. You can find it funny, you can feel indifferent, even a little glad that such a dickhead isn't in the world anymore, but some of the stuff that people are saying on social media (using their full name and photo like an idiot) is a little disconcerting. I don't think it's healthy.
I couldn't give a shit about Kirk personally or his family, but I've seen friends turn to extreme levels of sadistic joy, watching the video again and again, and trying to get me to watch it, pretending to have a party about it.
...I dunno, that doesn't seem like a mentally healthy thing to be doing.
No, celebrating it makes you not much better morally and emotionally. A sense of justice though? I can see that.
The president is a pedophile. No one in America is mentally healthy any longer.
Ngl it was honestly pretty beautiful and poetic
I laughed, and I fucking hate the fascists for being so vile that that was my reaction.
As far as I'm concerned it was the same as watching footage of a Nazi's neck exploding.
And I'll always take joy in that.
The only good fascist is a dead fascist.
Nice. Let's not lose focus on getting those Epstein files.
