I’m not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.
I have empathy for lots of people even if we don’t always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

Empathy shouldn’t be selective. I get that it ‘feels good’ but it in fact makes you no better than the hate preacher.
He was a cunt. A bad person. However, we should build a society where that behaviour is not tolerated nor rewarded. Don’t like that he got murdered for it.
The irony of the whole thing though is almost comedic.
It is a bit troubling in the feelings department as a whole.
Counterpoint: paradox of tolerance
You should be intolerant towards intolerance. We have a saying for it. ‘It is the exception that proves the rule’.
But being that, murder doesn’t need to be that counterpoint. There should be other avenues.
It doesn’t need to be, I agree. I’m certainly not going to spill any tears when it is, though.
Empathy isn’t something that lasts in the face of persistent hate and intolerance. Its naturally selective in that respect. You can put it any way you like but this man received karma and if you didn’t feel satisfaction at how he ended then you must either be ignorant of his hate and intolerance or you must approve of it.
That’s the point. I am glad he is gone. But I am just against murder. Murder should not have been needed, we should have had a better society were people like him cannot flourish.
Not feeling bad about the situation is nowhere near as bad as actively trying to make the lives of minorities worse. Shame on you for even implying they are equitable.
Well mate, read again. He was a despot. I am glad he is gone. However, murder shouldn’t be the way. Society should be better than this.
Shame on you for not reading
Weird, when I commented on this I could’ve swore that I read that if you laugh at his death you’re just as bad as he was. It was the whole reason I said what I said.
I don’t think you edited this, did you?
Nah mate, I didn’t edit it. I rather be the full bitch if I am one.
My bad then probably responded to a different comment or something
People can be happy he died without advocating for his murder or violence in general. If he was hit by a car and people are happy, it’s not like people are suddenly happy car accidents happen and are promoting car accidents. You can be happy someone died without advocating murder.
