I'm horrified about how his life ended, because I abhor violence. I feel deep sympathy for his family for losing someone they loved. I'm terrified about the future of our country and escalating political violence.

But all that being said, I can't say I'm sad he's dead. He caused unthinkable harm, and the world is better without him in it. But I do wish he'd died in a less-violent manner that wouldn't be used to justify further violence. He died a martyr for fascists, and that's terrifying.

His family support the shit he was doing. They aren’t absolved of guilt cause he died.

His family caused the same amount of harm alongside him.

He also said empathy was a bad thing, so any empathy you have for him is a waste, he doesn’t want it

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have no empathy for him.

But his children lost their Dad. Kids aren't evil, and they don't deserve to lose their parents. He may have seen empathy as a negative, but since I didn't consider him a paragon of virtue, I value it.

They are too young to remember him, hopefully she will remarry a decent human being and they can have a dad with empathy.

Can you picture a decent person happily marrying Charlie Kirk's widow? Like maybe she has a massive change of heart, but he was young when he rose to prominence, she married him because he was that person.

Hey, as long as you feel no empathy for him then you're doing him in honor. As you are honoring his wishes and his philosophy.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Can I neither feel empathy for him nor honor his philosophy. Dipshit fucked around and well he probably didn't maintain consciousness long enough after learning of the disagreement voiced from the back to find out. He contributed heavily to making America the sort of place that that happens.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I laugh at the people who claim to be so outraged by his death but really wouldn't care if he was not of their hateful ilk.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fascists are gonna keep getting shot the more they advocate for violence.

They are openly admitting violence is the only language they speak.

Thanks again, I try and share, ps I gotta NSFW/NSFL potty mouth, just in case you look at my profile some memes on there

[–] pentastarm@piefed.ca 2 points 2 months ago

No worries. I picked that one up from the bad place (~reddit~)

And a self-inflicted casualty at that! Every new revelation of this story makes me laugh even harder.

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yep. Republican on Republican violence. Let's not get involved.

I propose we set up a network of US citizens who will post and speak on behalf of foreign nationals who would like to criticize the US.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Being a citizen will eventually not protect you.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah, the ole “but there was no one left to speak for me” finale.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Yes. We already know how this ends.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

You're not wrong.

How very North Korea of them.
