You know what else does a lot of damage?

a 3 letter word that rimes with fun?

[-] Frenchys_prospecting@aussie.zone 12 points 3 months ago

Sun! Because skin cancer

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

A hun! From the 5th century.

An arrow to the knee.

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 3 months ago

Well it's definitely not "new-age", but apparently the worth "empathy" only entered the English language in 1908.

So I'm gonna pretend like it's 1776 like he always wanted me to do and not have empathy for him 😆

This whole thing is irony overload

We wouldn't happen to have the link/recording/article that this came from for context, would we? Not to sound like a "SOURCE?!?!?" troll, but I'm curious.

Thanks for following up with me, I truly appreciate it.

no prob

Empathy does a lot less damage than a bullet to the neck.

[-] TheGreatSpoon@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 months ago

The truth hurts (but not as much as getting shot in the jugular)

[-] TheGreatSpoon@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 months ago

The truth hurts

[-] Frenchys_prospecting@aussie.zone 7 points 3 months ago

Neck minute gurgling sounds

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Lot of people seem to agree with him, judging from the responses to his death.

[-] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Someone’s told me elsewhere that these quotes have been taken out of context. I said he should have been more careful with words.

[+] mub@lemmy.ml -14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I'm guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

edit to the replies - Holy hell this place has turned into reddit on a bad.

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

did-someone fuck that and fuck you, I look forward to using the new unisex toilet. "What about all the other Nazis who might have their feelings hurt?" Fuck off.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml -5 points 3 months ago

You didn't read my post did you? The man was a shit. I said as much. The point I'm making is why give him or his bat shit crazy ideas more air time now he IS dead. Also, have some dignity.

Name a more iconic duo than liberals and pearl-clutching. I'll wait.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 19 points 3 months ago

If this is such a bad thing, then why did Ben Shapiro cancel his speaking arrangements today? All these grifters are freaking out because they never expected to face a consequence for anything they said or did

[-] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 3 months ago

We can't kill fascists because, gasp, they have families too!

[-] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago

All this boohooing about his family. His wife chose to marry him because he’s a reactionary racist transphobic piece of shit. Meaning she herself is one. The only people I feel bad for are the young kids

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Why tho, kids gonna get a bag and not deal with his insanely authoritarian dad, sounds like a win to me.

[-] TheGreatSpoon@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Still traumatizing as fuck, but yeah we can't start giving fascists immunity just because they have kids

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 3 months ago

Nope, this is a message to the MAGA Nazis. Turn it up LOUD.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago

In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn't help the cause.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 3 months ago

You're the kind of person that will walk right into the gas chambers without a peep, and make it easy for the Nazis. They're just doing their job, after all.

A lot of us aren't taking it so easy. We're going down swinging.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I'm not going down at all. Saying that makes it sound like right wingers have already won.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 0 points 3 months ago

That's the spirit!

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

[-] Tippy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

You seem real upset that a white christo-nationalist terrorism advocate is dead. Seems like you're telling on yourself, fashy

[-] mub@lemmy.ml -2 points 3 months ago

Nope. The guy was clearly a shit. Just hope people rise above it and never speak about him again, there are better things to waste our effort on.

[-] Tippy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

I'll gleefully keep talking about a nazi getting his throat blown out by a 5.56 while he was actively blaming LGBT and black people for school shootings, deal with it. You want me stop, call up Trump and have him send ICE to my door.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago

Just having some dignity about it.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

The only reliable way to deal with fascists is to kill them. They will keep killing us until we force them to stop.

Kirk might not have been out there shooting people in the street like a common beat cop, but he built a career out of stochastic terrorism. He suffered the same fate that he advocated for innocent people.

[-] TheGreatSpoon@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Also wholeheartedly supported the 21st century Holocaust, but no biggie to our moral champion mub over here

[-] TheGreatSpoon@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Holy hell this place has turned into reddit on a bad.

You are literally the one expressing the mainstream (and only tolerated) opinion on reddit and doing the cringe reddiqetue thing where you edit your comment to insult others without actually elaborating

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago

I'm sorry. Being vitriolic and spreading more hate is the only right way to react? I'm glad he is gone, and causes right wing shits like him to realise they are not immune to consequences, is great. I just hate the way people are sharing his views in the process. They are just doing his work for him.
