It sucks that they won't have a father. Know what would have sucked worse? Having that for a father.
Honestly this might be worse. Now they're gonna grow up hearing about what a hero he was and how he died fighting for freedom and whatever other dumb shit his adult family members are gonna say about him. If they'd grown up in close proximity to him, they'd know first hand how flawed and human he was, even if they loved him and even if he was a reasonably good father. They'd also have a pretty good chance of rebelling against his fascist bullshit.
But now there's no human to see and to criticize. Just whatever fake fucking image his family is going to build of him. I'd say the kids are more likely to end up trying to be like him now.

Extremely bleak stuff.
Speaking of, exactly what I’m talking about

they killed a future president today
god damn, good thing he got compromised to a permanent end then
I wish a very happy compromised to a permanent end to all future us presidents
No they didn't
Cant run if you're dead lmao
I don’t even know what to call this shit because you know a leftist or even Godamn liberal wouldn’t get the same treatment. No one gave a fuck about the dem politician who was assassinated by a chud
Idk this is all so ominous to me, I’m hoping a lot of it is bot/algorithmic activity so I can keep a bit of my sanity. What an extremely stupid day in American history
100% grade-A PR bot slop
Not to make you doomer, but a ton of it is real. At least four of my family members have posted about what a loss it is.
I personally find nothing wrong with acknowledging that it’s horrendous that his children no longer have a father.
He's probably an abusive piece of shit like all trad husbands are when the cameras are off, and it seems like they're financially secure on account of him being a popular grifter. They'll be fine.
I think the majority of people just genuinely don't know how vile he was and think celebrating a public and gruesome murder is in poor taste. I know how vile he was and therefore how this is ultimately good but I am terminally online. Most people aren't.
It is definitely not good, The facists will use this to try to stoke bigotry against trans people. as they are already doing, and charlie kirk is easily replaceable. Charlie kirk is not a central enough figure to the fascist movement in america to be irreplaceable (nor is any really) much less to do significant damage to the movement.
I just meant that the world is a better place for the absence of Charles "face just like that" Kirk
I've seen people die in person, like getting stabbed and it felt bad. Fun fact about me I was present at the 2019 London bridge stabbing, the one where the assailant was subdued with a fire extinguisher and a narwhal horn and two people died. Yeah it felt bad to be in that situation and see that, because they seemed like normal people who probably didn't deserve it.
I'm probably evil though because when I saw Kirk get ventilated I just laugh. The gore part didn't bother me, maybe I'm numb to it? Like I've also seen the one where Budd Dwyer shoots himself. I had a misspent youth on the internet so I've seen beheadings and stuff, I don't know.
I feel nothing other than joy that he's gone. He deserves it. I keep getting told this is a disgusting and disturbing opinion to have. Ok then is most of society disgusting then? Because we seem to tolerate the deaths of untold scores of poor people, Palestinians, trans people etc. But Charlie Dipshit gets put on a pedestal because he's a nice Christian white boy I guess. Fuck this country
Ok then is most of society disgusting then?
You know the answer to this. Humanity has been degraded and debased by capitalism to the point where we can see the symptoms in ourselves if we are aware.
I laughed too and still do thinking about it.
Exactly. The outrage is selective
[tw: SA]
spoiler
he said if his daughter gotremovedd he would force her to keep the baby
i don't think it's that horrendous he wont be in their life lol
She was like, 2 at the time btw
Jesus Christ
He knows it would be extremely likely to be someone in their church or political circle committing the crime.
It's a little wierd for me because I really don't have that emotional reaction most people have to it. Like omg blood coming out of him (???). Idk I don't feel anything nearly as strong as most people seem to be. I could see something a lot more graphic of him and I just don't emphasize. He deserves it. Fuck him. I didn't feel repulsed or anything watching the video. Idk if that's an ND thing or a, I've watched gore before thing.
And yes, exactly. This is what school shootings look like to. This is what Gaza looks like. Where's the outrage from these people?
I like how people are tut tutting about
while ignoring how we can’t say anything bad about it without getting censored lmao
The rest of us aren’t real people to these freaks.
And how many chud school shooters were regular Kirk listeners? The vast, vast majority. People who spend their entire waking life doing everything they can to normalize a society in which it is okay to either kill people or simply allow them to suffer and die are, at the very least, worth significantly less pity than the victims of their rhetoric.

The pictures of starving children in Gaza are far more horrific than Kirk's quick and painless death. I've avoided watching the most graphic videos out of Gaza, mainly sticking to Al Jazeera. But it's still been 2 years of daily images and videos of unbelievable human suffering.
Yet the liberal media has shown more sympathy for Kirk in the last 24 hours than they have for Palestinians 2 years into Israel's final solution.
To be honest, I don’t think most people care really. Among those that know of him and aren’t chuds, how many are really crying about it? It seems more like a media/elite reaction, of them trying to stamp out their newfound vulnerability. It’s like Luigi, except the right is pissed too this time.
Yeah I hope people are just looking at it as a death and aren’t nearly as into it as the average political junkie
Crazy how it’s at the forefront of all media though
Honestly the more people learn, the harder it is for a normal person to empathize with Kirk. His death is one of the most ironic ever, if you look at all the heinous shit he’s said. Heinous even to normal people, not the politically educated.
Maybe it’s the instagram algorithm echo chamber ragebaiting because all I’ve seen are posts about how it’s a tragedy and he was killed for his free speech (lol)
I went to jiu-jitsu class today and work, in both places I'm pretty sure everyone knows who he is and it didn't come up even once.
he deserved it, it's good he's dead instead of spreading more hate, and i hope more nazis get got.
anyone who thinks it's overall bad he's dead is an enabler at best.
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
Is the video online? I didn't hear about this till today and can't find it anywhere, I, uh, need to see it to mourn properly
Holee shit. I think I regret asking
NSFL
Some /r/watchpeopledie / liveleak shit
I'm totally in agreement. I do worry a little bit about how much we cultivate and stoke up our own bloodlust here. People would do well to realise you can happily celebrate a Nazi's death while still acknowledging the fact that there are sad elements to it. That it really sucks that we got to this situation at all. That Nazi had loved ones and it sucks we don't live in a world where he could be contained and re-educated instead.
Fuck him and basically everything he ever said, but public figures are also people with complex lives. His death was good, fire the confetti, I'm all for it. But let's also not actively try to be ignorant to the realities of it either.
He literally advocated for people like me to be stoned to death, so fuck all that.

Yea fuck this, "complex life", "oh he had loved ones 🥺". Fuck off. He didn't deserve to live.
He didn't deserve to live.
Didn't even say he did. I literally said his death was good.
it sucks we don't live in a world where he could be contained and re-educated instead.
You think it sucks he couldn't be kept alive. I do not think he deserved to stay alive. It does not suck, in my opinion, that he is dead instead of living.
neurodiverse
What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
