I very specifically noted the things that make you a crypto right winger buddy, none of them had to do anything with your valiant defense of the racist sexist podcaster. Also I called the guy all of those things on the day of the assassination, basically because he was all of those things, with quotes. Nothing more distasteful then fake outrage, especially coming from the guy known for gleefully explaining how murdering 8 and 11 year old boys for stepping over an imaginary line is A-OK. | ||

The guy who murdered him was a white Christian from a conservative family, but don't let that interfere with your preconceived notions. Saying a piece of shit bigot is a piece of shit bigot is not hate, it's rational analysis of behavior of a piece of shit bigot's life and works. | ||

Charlie Kirk said "I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." The assassin evidently agreed. | ||

Give it a rest for fuck’s sake, you’ve already made him a martyr. I haven't made him anything, and I didn't kill him or ask anyone to kill him. Also, given his outspoken pro- gun violence position, remember that Charlie Kirk absolutely condoned what would eventually happen to Charlie Kirk. He probably hadn't considered the veil of ignorance, or never seriously thought he'd be a victim of his own stance. | ||

A bigot is a person who holds obstinately and unreasonably to their own opinions and prejudices. They show extreme intolerance toward those who hold different beliefs, backgrounds, or ways of life. This intolerance typically manifests as discrimination, hatred, or contempt toward groups based on factors like race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Let's hear what he had to say about Trans folk: "The one issue that I think is so against our senses, so against the natural law, and dare I say a throbbing middle finger to God is the transgender thing happening in America." Or on Race: "The reason why there is disparity in outcomes in America is not because of systemic racism, it is because of cultural choices, it is because of family structure, and it is because of different levels of intellectual capacity." And women of color: "You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously". Now, I could go on but I'll wait for our resident bigots to come to the defense of these sentences since they agree with them so we can all be on the same page where someone lands on the bigot spectrum. | ||

Partly because the right wing tried really hard into making him a martyr but everyone thinks that it was overblown. Personally i don't care that he died. Why would i? This was a guy whose political positions were making life harder for anyone like me. I live like he asked (eg; not letting empathy come in the way of gun ownership). After all some gun deaths are acceptable to keep the 2nd amendment. | ||

Just move on, and say "who cares" if somebody makes a statue.

1) he was ok if people like Charlie Kirk were shot to death so long as people like Tyler James Robinson are allowed to own guns. 2) empathy is a sin. Sounds like building a statue in honor of Charlie Kirk is the opposite of what he wanted. If anything he'd want a statue of Tyler James Robinson. | ||

I never said the statue was those things. I said that Charlie Kirk was those things. Because he was. And he will forever be known as those things, just like how Hitler was a Nazi and how Trump is a rapist and fascist. We don't stop describing people accurately just because they die or have a statue erected in their honor. | ||
