Ideological assassinations are a huge step in the wrong direction. Once you open the door to violence in place of speech and exchange of ideas, it's a bad place. Everyone should condemn this. Do you honestly believe it's a good idea to start killing people? Who is next? It's not always going to be people you disagree with, and ANY murders need to be condemned.
This is just the trolley problem. If you can save 5 people by killing 1, is it correct to do so, or take no action?
Well, we've got lots of people taking no action, and look where that's got us.
You don't get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn't some complicated ethical dilemma.
suspect? rofl! Charlie was evil. Unquestionably.
Does a good person call empathy a weakness? Does a good person say some gun deaths are totally acceptable for the 2a? Does a good person dogwhistle about minorities and cast blame on trans people for things they didn't do?
You're either woefully stupid or trolling. You should think before you type either way. Occam's Razer should require some thought.
Should his (possibly) millions of his supporters also die? Should they preemptively start killing people they view as threats to them? You know, since some people are saying that they should die for their opinions... you see how this goes? It's not hard to see how a zero sum game ends without any winners. That's why you have to compromise by at least not killing each other.
OK woefully stupid it is, then...
You know they're TRYING to do those things you said, right? Why do you think they keep mentioning trans people every chance they get along side bad news?
You realize "there are people out there saying others should die for their opinions" IS CHARLIE AND HIS KIND, right?
You are utterly and completely missing the entire point of the paradox of tolerance... Charlie Kirk and his ilk are ALREADY fomenting intolerance. They're ALREADY planting the seeds of violence. Me noticing it and saying, "yes, these vile actors deserve to be stopped, even if it comes to the worst option" IS NOT the same as them inventing boogiemen like trans/gay/etc people out of thin air.
They WANT people to get violent towards innocents, and are doing many things to try and make it happen. Jist look how they practically celebrated the Pulse nightclub shooting... That makes them a valid target. These ARE the despicable people you're so afraid of. Why can you not see it?
Tell that to Charlie. He advocated for that actual fucking reality.
Dude you are sick
Our citizenry is headed right toward authoritarian dystopia. I think what we have in store is worse than death. If you were trans and black right now, you would not defend them. They are causing anxiety and suffering, and they absolutely do not care about the Genocide in Gaza. This surveillance state, widening inequality, constant war, rampant racism, homophobia, and everything else they are doing will destroy us all. We have no future. That is sick to me. Psychopaths win every time. These will too. I am just holding off until I need to die.
