Only pro genocide and pro replacement theory civil war/genocide justification speech allowed. Got it. Even when you just repeat the hate the establishment condones, it is presumed to be opposition to the hate the establishment condones.

You need only to look at his ideology to realize that Charlie Kirk was 100% in support of his own assassination.

And that he would have also been 100% in favour of this professorโ€™s right to speak her mind.

Her violent rhetoric is bad, but they're fine letting alt-right extremists spew their violent rhetoric all over their school.

Fuck them.

[โ€“] rekabis@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

This, exactly. Theyโ€™re letting the violent bullies dictate the terms.

And that never ends well.

Is U of T forgetting what country it's in? ๐Ÿ˜’

It's in Ontario, which acts like any US state.

B-B-B-BASED

I am sure all the "free speech" advocates, such as former U of T professor Jordan Peterson will be making a huge fuss about this. What do you mean no?

Somehow despite the constant news coverage being blasted all over the wire I still can't stop thinking of him as an irrelevant loser.

Number of times I have heard the name Charlie Kirk:

Previous 50 years: -

Past 48 hours: *****************************************************************

Pretty much the same for me. I only found out he was behind the tiny face guy meme after he was shot.

[โ€“] khar21@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe that's because we're Canadian? I already knew about turning point USA, it's huge and apparently a huge reason Trump got so much more of the young vote this time.

[โ€“] kbal@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

I did eventually find out who he was thanks to Justin Ling's write-up which is pretty good: https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-charlie-kirk-anyway

Quite a story, but even so the earth-shaking implications of his death seem to me much exaggerated by many.

[โ€“] anachronist@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I didn't know him by name but by the "prove me wrong" meme. He was a mid-tier grifter on the way down with the likes of Fuentes in the way up. The key thing is he had a lot of access to Trump.

[โ€“] threeonefour@piefed.ca 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Silly professor! You can only say that kind of stuff on campus if you're under a tent that says "Prove me wrong"

[โ€“] ganryuu@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Isn't being a fascist also a requirement?

[โ€“] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago (2 children)

We need a left wing debate bro to go to college campuses and pitch a table saying, "Charlie Kirk deserved to die, prove me wrong."

[โ€“] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Sir, this is Canada.

[โ€“] khar21@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Problem is that no one on the left is as awful as them other than Hasan Piker ig.

[โ€“] Auli@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And that's the problem. The left lets the right do whatever they want and just sits there saying they can say that or well who's truth is right. Well look where that got us.

[โ€“] khar21@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It would have gotten us someplace good if it wasn't for the fact that the DNC kept underestimating Trump and putting in horrible candidates. A pile of shit could have won against Trump, yet the DNC let the nepo baby Hillary Clinton be their candidate? Not to mention Joe Biden in 2024 saying he "finally beat medicare?" And then last minute replacing him with a black/indian woman who performed horribly in the 2020 primary? Are you fucking kidding me? the DNC deserves almost as much of the blame as Trump imo. Utter incompetence and carelessness.

[โ€“] snooggums@piefed.world 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Only the far right gets say this kind of stuff.

[โ€“] khar21@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm so sick of the constant hypocrisy. They never reduce government spending either. Honestly, especially nowadays Conservatism is nothing but rhetoric and nothing about economics, just social policies.

It's also about giving billionaires more money and power.

[โ€“] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 35 points 3 days ago

WHY couldn't that Professor just EXPRESS the Same Views as Charlie Kirk? It would have been MUCH SAFER for Their Job if they just said ALL MINORITIES LIKE BLACKIES AND GAYIES SHOULD DIE!

[โ€“] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 23 points 3 days ago

Damn, most people could only ever dream of being that based.

[โ€“] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 days ago

I understand her statement to mean that they should have to suffer in jail for a long time. How is that violent?

[โ€“] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Odd, the title suggested she was mournful not right.

[โ€“] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

And the "anti-cancel culture" folk cancel more folk...
