I always thought i was left, but seeing how a lot of people on the left gleefully react to someone’s assasination makes me wonder if i’m actually left.
I don’t mourn Charlie Kirk’s passing, i never liked him. But i certainly don’t celebrate his murder either. Anyone who does should be put in a mental asylum as far as i’m concerned. They certainly have mental health problems.
I feel like you but I also feel kirk should be treated a bit by his own preachings. He said empathy is weakness and bad policy and not a virtue. He said gun deaths are worth it for the second amendment. He said families should bring their children to witness executions. All these things he said are embodied in his fate. If anyone ever died in a way that embraces their own words it is him.
What you mentioned is exactly why i didn’t like him. But i also don’t support the death penalty, and i firmly believe in due process. He got the death penalty without a fair trial. For me it’s as simple as that. And that’s not how democracy works in my book.
He was a conservative right wing political activist, but some people are comparing him to Mussolini even. Like WTF! And just because he didn’t believe in empathy doesn’t mean i shouldn’t either.
Fo i think the world is better without certain people? Sure! Do i think assasinating them is the way to go? No.
And yeah, i’m a gay man. I’m well aware of his views about that. I choose to be civilized though.
Yup and I agree with you 100%. There is how I feel about it but I also think about it in terms of his beliefs. They are not mine but its kinda funny because normally one might bring up judging someone by their own standards to be nicer than ones own beliefs might make it out for the person but for him that is certainly not the case.
