Fascists are people. People that need to be fought, but they are people. Dehumanization is the first step to wanton slaughter.

Not to be a mood killer, but he was a person. Dehumanizing people doesn't serve any good, it just normalizes it, and that's a giant fucking problem at a time right now where the last thing we need is for it to be normalized.

With that said;

Rest in piss you fascist fuck

I hope the perp walks free

Tolerance of intolerance leads to fall of tolerant society.

And he was one of the horsemen of that fall.

I can't condemn all violence as some is actually necessary in this imperfect world.

I do dislike political violence, however I am not sure, when we're got a fascist takeover and there are two economies and two classes emerging, maybe it's not 100% "political violence" anymore. Having your kids not be sick and starving isn't really political to me. Dying because of lack of healthcare, even with insurance, sinking into debt because of it, that's not really political. You can not follow politics and still have your house repossessed or your son dead because he didn't have insulin, sure.

In the information age of warfare, it can be so hard to miss the fact that you're at war...

Well good news, Charlie Kirk wasn't actually a politician of any type. He never held any political office and was never elected to any position. So it wasn't political violence, it was just someone taking out the trash.
