Not even justifying his death - conservatives will whine about anyone who correctly points out the fact that neither a bulletproof vest, security, nor a good guy with a gun would have saved Charlie Kirk. But he might still be alive if 1) The U.S. had sensible gun regulations, and 2) If the right hadn't been ridiculing the very idea of empathy and celebrating every murder of their political opponents over the past 10 years.
Right-wing politics and its consequences killed Charlie Kirk.
And as the right continues to bemoan left-wing violence, it's important to remember that political violence is very much a right-wing issue: https://youtu.be/B2MB2re24oA?t=962
~~Sorry about the shitty AI audio, I was trying something new hoping that it would make the whole video-making process easier and it didn't work out at all. If you set the speed to 1.25 it'll sound a bit more reasonable.~~
Because you can draw a direct line from the literal decades of conservatives throwing a TSUNAMI of violent rhetoric at Nacy Pelosi straight to the guy bashing her husband's head in with a hammer.
I'm trying, man. I'm looking deep in my soul but I really can't be fucked about a stock market mogul. obviously though this seems to just be me so I need to self examine. in the meantime perhaps this is a great opportunity for C-Dawg and the Pelosi's to put aside their differences and consider how to change their perspective grifts to result in less grievous injuries together.
I don't think it's about whether or not Paul Pelosi is a good person or not, just about pointing out the clear and deliberate inconsistency of the right when it comes to violence
The issue is believing that the right has ideals.
The only ideal the right knows is egotism. What benefits me (or what I think benefits me) is good, what benefits others is bad.
All the other "ideals" they might throw around to support their point is just a smoke screen with the purpose of trying to make it look like there's other justifications for their actions apart from "I'm an egotistical asshole who can't manage to view other people as human beings".
They'll never learn. They are a plague.
oh, okay good point. something I REALLY need to actually check about myself is reactively going "hold up, no duh" every time somebody points out hypocrisy in fascists. I tend to forget that it's useful to some and I don't need to be the guy acting like I'm smarter than everyone else.
