Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

My god, can we stop talking about fascists as if they were actual people with souls?

Honestly, cause at the end of the day, it was just another shooting in a country that gets a lot of those.

He may be forgotten, but the vehicle he created for driving right-wing politics has been supercharged with him gone. It is being scaled up and institutionalized as a much more powerful tool of propaganda and political influence.

Some arsonist who got burned i think

Some dude with the opinion that "it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights". So you don't need to feel sorry for him, his death was an acceptable cost after all.

I think he was a youtuber who died doing some sort of weird challenge

I love that souther and red states have streets named after him. People are going to think about 100 other Charlies and Kirks before thinking about the actual one. ʘ‿ʘ

Charlie Chaplain? Captain Kirk?

Did he say he was sorry?

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing original or special about him at all. Just another of a million hate preachers of the hate religion christianity. Worthless and bland, just like all followers of the hate religion christianity.

The second time you die is when everybody's forgotten your name

You mean he got the school shooting treatment?

[–] if_only@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 hours ago

No, he was talked about after the shooting. Most school shootings don't even make the news.

Aurrr naurrrr

I still watch that video of him getting shot every few days when things start to look bleak. Always good for a laugh. I kind of want to sample the clip to make a dope beat.
