And someone that the right wing seriously floats as a future Presidential candidate. It's astouding. |
Clearly, you haven't seen people mocking his death, cheering about his death, taunting Kirk supporters, reenacting the moment he was shot, etc. I'm neither maga nor a Kirk fan, but I've seen those posts and Instagrams, etc. They're disgusting. |
Gee, it’s almost like they are huge fvking hypocrites. |
It’s insane. |
Let me break this down for you. They are upset about the implication that it's okay to murder someone if they have unfashionable political views. It would be like gloating if a person died during an abortion or transgender surgery and quoting them about how these surgeries save lives. At a bare minimum, it's astounding bad form. |
Why does this matter? Why? Why. We are adults. (We hope this part of the board isn’t attracting the fail-sons who haunt the Relationships part of DCUM). We are really going to be adults and give a flying f about…an Instagram post by someone reacting to news? Unless you can link me up nice and quick to a post where a “left” “liberal” “progressive” person is rallying a new Crusade to go and physically harm everyone who is like CK or voted like him or is suspected of thinking like him…so what? So. What. You are justifying the classic fascistic response to ordinary people having contrary views. Your response is precisely what abets fascism and complacency, this schoolmarm disgust. Use your brain, please. |
They just can’t handle a differing opinion. They disguise it as some moral superiority, but everyone can plainly see it. What they don’t see is how weak and fragile it makes Charlie Kirk’s message seem. It you have to put this much effort into protecting someone’s ideas, to the point of protecting them from people quoting their own words, it not meant to be long lasting, I guess. |
Even better, if you find out your employee is out reporting people for their thoughts and beliefs like a sniveling little fascist, fire them, because you cannot trust those people. |
Can you imagine what would happen if someone like Ibrahim Kendi or Jon Oliver was assassinated and then people started posting about how it was great and they deserved it. You all would be begging for them to be fired, such small minded hypocrites. |
No, because my media consumption is normal. I don't follow right wing pundits who are scouring the far corners of the web curating cherrypicked/fabricated posts with inflammatory content. My feed is not full of whatever garbage you're seeing. If leftists everywhere were posting vile things about Kirk I'd see it. But I don't. But meanwhile, I HAVE heard of people who are being doxxed and attacked for posting legitimate criticisms of Kirk, and for posting things that Kirk actually said, for example his racist remark saying Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn't have the brain power to be taken seriously, that she was an affirmative-action pick that took a white person's slot. Charlie Kirk ACTUALLY SAID THAT on his show, July 13, 2023. And here people who point that out are being canceled and attacked by the right wing, called liars. There's video of it. It's been posted in this thread. Stop gaslighting and lying about things Charlie Kirk actually said. |
I don't follow any right wing pundits either. My Instagram is filled with items about dogs, cats, cat/dog rescues, music of all types, hilarious comedians, and the high schools and colleges my kids have attended; but I also read internet news articles from a variety of sources. If you haven't seen any, then you're the one in a bubble. |
This. |
Would you feel this way about Fr. Martin Luther king or President Kennedy or anyone else you admire who's been murdered? We are all flawed human beings. |
