It’s really telling how ashamed they are of Charlie Kirk’s own words. |
There is a fundamental difference between the cancel culture that the left engages in and the “canceling” that the right is doing in the wake of Charlie's assassination and the left's celebration of it.
The difference is that the left will cancel you for saying objectively true, good, normal things. To the extent the right cancels you, it's for objectively abhorrent, perverse, sick things. This distinction matters. For years, the problem with the left's attack on speech is not just that they're attacking speech, but that they're attacking true and right speech. They want you to be fired for saying men can't have babies, women don't have penises. The problem isn't simply trying to get you fired for saying something. They want to punish truth, and that will always be worse, obviously, significantly worse. There is a difference between the statement 'Men aren't women' and the statement 'Charlie Kirk deserved to die because he was a fascist, Nazi, racist, bigot.' What's the difference? The first statement is the most obviously true thing anyone can ever say. The second statement is not only a lie that smears the good name of an innocent man, but also implicitly encourages violence against millions of people who agree with his politics. The idea that we can't advocate social consequences without accepting or approving such consequences for the former statement is asinine. The idea that society must treat all speech exactly the same is ludicrous. I don't think that such ranting should be made illegal. I don't think the people celebrating Charlie's death should be banned by the government from saying those things. But it is good that they are humiliated and must live with the repercussions for it. Free speech does not mean that we should act with anything but revulsion and disgust to people who say revolting and disgusting things. Take the nurse. Her first reaction was to cuss out his kids and their mother and gloat about the murder. That kind of statement is not just an expression of opinion. It is a revelation of character of someone who is barely human at this point. It's the character of someone who should be shunned and alienated by society. Not through force of law, not through legislation or legal consequence, certainly not through violence, but through social rejection. Because people who cuss out the children of men who are murdered on live TV deserve to be treated as monsters. |
That’s a whole lot of words to be completely wrong about everything you said. You can’t try to talk your way out of being a part of the hate machine you created. You can’t backtrack the man’s words. You certainly can’t erase all the horrible things maga has said and done over the past 10 years. If you were trying to win a prize for hypocrisy, congratulations, you’re the prize pig. |
And they are throwing these words away, along with the Constitution. |
Compare the Don Jr post someone posted above to many of those recently fired after denouncing the murder but calling Kirk out for hate speech. |
Right, like how the left cancels people for being bigoted against Black people. That's just totally normal stuff. The Right cancels people for pointing out irony and quoting our own violent rhetoric against us. I mean, what monsters! You're an insane person PP, living in a fantasy land where your side somehow has the moral high ground. |
God is watching you, son. If you care at all about your eternal future, you had better quit it with the lies. |
That’s a lot of projection and a very slippery slope. Be careful that your neighbors don’t report you when they’re tired of you and want you to suffer. Learn some history. |
https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/09/15/iowa-lawmakers-call-for-termination-of-isu-employees-for-online-comments-on-charlie-kirk/ Iowa lawmakers call for termination of ISU employees for online comments on Charlie Kirk Lawmaker Miller-Meeks says new UI free speech center should be named for Kirk Rep. Taylor Collins, R-Mediapolis, and Sen. Lynn Evans, R-Aurelia, signed a letter directed to the Iowa Board of Regents this weekend calling for the immediate firing of employees who they said “publicly celebrated his killing online.” Collins identified the social media posts mentioned in the letter as coming from two Iowa State University employees, though the Iowa Capital Dispatch was unable to independently verify the posts. One of the posters stated they are “pretty sure we’re all okay with political violence,” but did not mention Kirk or the shooting. The other pointed out comments previously made by Kirk as to the trade-off of gun deaths and 2nd Amendment rights, saying in their post he “got what was coming” and they are “happy he’s rotting in hell now.” Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks said in a post on X that the UI should name its new center for intellectual freedom after Kirk, which would honor who she described as “a true defender of free speech and open debate.” |
Really telling on yourself there. |
Everyone wear their Lui gi shirts and green today?! |
I totally support firing a person that cheers the death of a fellow American. You just have to be a psycho to do that. |
I don't give my support to any cold blooded murderer. They all belong in prison for life with no chance for parole. |
