I not only celebrate Kirk’s death and the manner in which it happened, but I also continue to hope that there will be many copycats. I don’t want social conservatives to feel safe anywhere in public. I want them to be terrorized.
Careful what you wish for. When Reinhard Heydrich was killed in an attack by Czech resistance fighters the Nazis imposed martial law over the whole country for two months, arrested 3000 people, executed 1300. Additionally they burnt two villages to the ground, executed the entire male population, all women went to concentration camps and all but 9 children in those villages where murdered.
Don't get me wrong, I relish in the thought that Heydrich died like a dog and I'd say it was the right thing to do, just as I will absolutely not shed a tear for that shit stain Kirk, but the price can be very very high and those lunatics will retribute, cruel and senseless.
edit: holy cow forgot the most essential word in my comment, I will not shed a tear for that shit stain Kirk. I will not!
They might have done that regardless of retribution being a rationale.
Wow if only the Czech resistance didn't kill that dude, we could have avoided the Holocaust! The real fascists are the ones resisting fascism.
Is what I said.
I don't know how you got from that to your comment.
All I was saying is that the fascist will retribute cruel, unreasonably and disproportionately.
Maybe there's some phrase I misused, English is not my mother tongue, but I still feel that your facetious comment misses my point completely.
I definitely agree with everything you wrote in your second paragraph, it's that first part I take issue with. The American fascist movement is going full steam ahead with their Nazi shit, and would do so regardless of Charlie Kirk getting murdered.
Will they try to make a martyr out of him? Of course they will.
I however disagree with the notion that Nazis wouldn't be Nazis if opposition "took the high road" and debated the Nazis instead of responding to their violence in kind. The Nazis are gonna do Nazi shit regardless, and their justifications will always be bullshit.
Do you truly think the Nazis wouldn't have imposed martial law if it weren't for that assassination?
