I don't know that I love equating rhetorical violence with physical violence. Seems like a bad road to go down.
"That guy advocated that I should be killed, so I was justified in shooting him in the face," isn't my favorite take.
about 3-4 posts down I see a collection of a particular someone's quotes
Look, I fully agree Kirk was trash. You're preaching to the choir here.
But I shy away from saying "any extrajudicial killing is fine when it's against someone I think is trash."
If he'd died a natural death the world would be a better place for it, but that doesn't make it okay that he was murdered.
It's a dangerous game when we just start saying it's okay to murder bad people without due process.
Due process would be nice, but it doesn't seem to be a thing in the US anymore for anyone leaning right.
Killing fascists is good, actually
nope I'm joyfull that he is dead.
I don’t think many people are saying it’s ok he was murdered. Just that we aren’t that upset about it.
No. It's cool. Lots of people probably have justified hangovers from celebrating too hard
I mean, perhaps you're right, but I bet if we took a poll here we'd get a majority of people sounding off that it was a good thing he was murdered.
But maybe you're right and everyone agrees it was bad he was murdered. I wouldn't bet on it though.
Didn't happen soon enough.
