One must spend only 5 minutes on social media to see people celebrating this horrific act of violence. My eyes don’t deceive me like your heart deceives you. |
Because he was a vile human being who spewed hate speech. You RWNJs are desperate for this kid to be a “leftist” so you can rounded up and kill all the democrats or people who live in blue states. When Colbert was fired, Trump says Kimmel was next. This is why the head of the FCC had Kimmel fired. Not for what Kimmel said. Wish Fox News and the WSJ were held to this standard. |
Yes maga is very happy this happened. Now they can kill everyone who questions Trump. |
So what to all of that? Even people who never even listened to Kimmel once and have no opinion about him at all understand the problem here. Does any of what you wrote give the U.S. government the right to threaten to pull licenses from ABC or to file expensive frivolous lawsuits to try to bankrupt people? |
The government now controls speech. Only government approved right wing hate speech will be allowed.
|
That’s not the point. Our President is controlling what we see on TV and read in the news with his lawsuits, interference and constant jabs that causes his followers to lose trust in anyone other than who he says is ok. Does that sound like a democracy to you? |
DP: Are they people you personally know? Because if not, you have no idea who is actually posting what the algorithm is feeding you. This is internet 101 -- know your source before you get inflamed by what you are seeing. If what you are seeing causes an immediate negative reaction -- don't trust the source. Do better research. Also, ask yourself why hateful things are appearing on your algorithm. I'm not seeing it on mine. The internet gives you back what you look for. |
This 100%. No different then when the left lost their sh*t over the (truthful) claims that Obama wasn't born in the US. |
It’s bots for the most part. You know that, right? |
Probably because he was a terrible person. |
I have spent a lot more than 5 minutes on social media in the last week and I haven't seen anyone celebrating the killing. Perhaps the problem is in the people you are following on social media. If I saw someone celebrating a murder, any murder, even the murder of Charlie Kirk, a man I detested, I would simply unfollow them. My instinct would not be to call their employer and get them fired. Because I believe in free speech even when I disagree with it. That's why when Charlie Kirk was alive, I handled the vile, hateful things he said by simply ignoring him. |
Don't forget Charlie Kirk celebrated violence himself. He made jokes and urged his supporters to bail out the guy who attacked Paul Pelosi. |
Trump and republicans need to issue Executive Orders on what type of speech is legal in this country. We know criticism of Israel, any mention of Kirk, any criticism of Trumps and trans/gay stuff is against the law.
What other speech is outlawed needs to be defined. Should Hunter Biden’s 12 fake laptops be off limits or should every Fox employee who pushed the “election was stolen” be punished? Certainly the Epstein files that contain criminal information on republicans and Trump must be suppressed. |
This is a big reach-did you actually listen to that episode? He said in that same episode that the attack was terrible. |
A reasonable compromise: Trump has weaponized the government to push his ideology and that had a hand in this, and also that Kimmel was a partisan hack who had alienated a lot of viewers and was no longer funny, similar to Colbert.
Regardless, we're in a dangerous situation. I was having dinner with a friend last night who stated simply "the next election probably has a 50/50 chance of being rigged" and "after Trump, Vance will be the President, and civil wars tend to happen under the successor to the original personality cult." Seems reasonable. |
