  1. It’s a damn shame how successful these attacks were.
  2. Remain stupid, it’s whatever.
  3. Hey man, you are actually confused about this. Almost literally nobody here likes that he was murdered. I think he was a piece of shit and the world would be a better place if he had never existed but there are numerous reasons why I wish he hadn’t been murdered, some of which relate to the wrongness of murder and some of which relate to the ramifications of a shithead like him with a large following of impressionable morons who wield enormous political power being martyred. Nobody is glad he was killed [edit: I mean virtually nobody in this conversation in this thread], it’s not gaslighting. We just still think he was a piece of shit, same as we thought yesterday morning.
  4. I think it is very easy for folks to confuse expressions of “you reap what you sow” with “he got what he deserved”, when they aren’t really quite the same thing.
  5. getting turning point folks to post Lamar Jackson quotes on Facebook would be an interesting first step but there’s some promise to it
  6. I was downvoting it because it was a stupid comment, not because I think it’s good that he was murdered.
  7. The nuance that you’re failing to grasp is that none of us like that he was murdered but are having a hard time being sad for one of the individuals most responsible for your complaints above. It sucks that this happened generally, it sucks that this is where we are, it sucks that the people who fall for this stuff again and again are falling for it once more with the revisionist history of who he was and what he stood for, and even if someone does the sowing it’s a shame when they reap something like this. It would be morally and intellectually inconsistent for people who share your sentiments above to not recognize Kirk’s role in getting us here as we talk about what his death means.
  8. You don’t need to imagine. Literally do the opposite of the imagining that you are currently doing.
  9. We don’t know who did this and why, but the only people who think of Charlie Kirk as a Christian are Charlie Kirk supporters.
  10. Guys guys guys, a man is dead. Let’s honor his memory by setting aside petty grievances and not getting tangled up in asinine bad faith arguments over how much we can assign the blame for gun violence on black people.
  11. If they catch the shooter at a fast food restaurant I hope it’s some weird regional thing like a Taco John or Runza. Maybe Perkins.
  12. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than a prairie dog.
  13. Your hero protagonist literally rapes children but OK guy
  14. I keep meaning to make a double mast for that day.
  15. This comment has me wondering how ( if at all) unprecedented it would be to half mast flags on federal buildings for some unelected political commentator.
  16. Sorry, quickly read my bad
  17. He was one of the right’s best and brightest, and a moral leader for their cause. He will have a lasting impact on history and I’m saddened that he was killed.
  18. Likely just Bayesian probability in action
  19. The timing of what Kirk was saying with when he was shot makes me think that there wasn’t a lot of time spent for sound to travel and then the bullet to travel. No idea if 200 yards is short enough but it seemed like the shooter picked his moment.
  20. ok yeah that's fairly stupid, although obviously people who have no information at all and haven't seen any footage and are reacting live
  21. is there video of this?
  22. Goddammit. This sucks for a lot of reasons. I hate the idea of Charlie Kirk being a martyr.
  23. Reading books is gay ergo illegal. Quid quo pro.
