On the face of it, I don't have an issue with saying this, as his family weren't the ones preaching hate. But choosing to single out this particular person's family rather than all the other recent shooting victims is a bad look.

Everyone grieves differently, but his wife literally turned around and used his corpse for Instagram content before he was even in the ground! Add it to the list of videos I wish I hadn’t watched this week

It's pretty much a given that anyone who would marry him must be an awful person.

Plus that wonderful speech she gave about how her husbands death was a rallying cry to the right to take care of the libs, so, like fuck her too.

It's cause Charlie Kirk was rich and famous; those kids and any other faceless poor has no value or meaning to these folks even though the only reason these fucks are rich and famous is because of the fucking faceless poor. I hate it here.

Partially, but it's also related to the fascism our country is under now. Prominent non-government people who are on the government's "side" are treated as if they actually are part of the government, because the corruption means they essentially are.

His death helped the world see who's far right. Very interesting

Looks like the corporate rock fans are mad that their band is a corporate rock band

And i think thats a good thing. You should be free to like whatever kind of music, even if its the worst garbage imaginable to my ears.

Does not mean you have to accept political shit-takes from the creators.

It's like how Jack Black had to pretend to be mad at Kyle bc he's in so many big budget movies.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I hated how he reacted to that and people were defending him. Over a joke. Black has done some dirty shit, but supposedly got so upset over that joke he cancelled a tour. Fuck him too. #teamkyle

I assumed it was less that he was mad and more that he didn't want to get shot by some right-wing nut.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Actually the opposite. He's hoping to continue getting shot by right wing nuts. That's why he can't be controversial or they won't cast him.

If only, I am so tired of chubby carrot top.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

He should be knowing first before making such statements pertaining to peace and coexistence. Especially if the subject matter happens to be an extremely vile personage with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Hell no, Tool is awesome (as a band, i'm not so sure on their views).

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 24 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I guess you don’t get to choose family, but not sure how this was a high priority for Chris Martin given everything else going on at the moment.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 54 points 23 hours ago

People in the back.
