    No one cared about this guy, only the right wing filter bubble did.

    The algorithm shows them what pisses them off. All it needs is one person making fun of their Horst Wessel and it’s all over their feed.

    I don’t know about y’all, but I’m still very much celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death. My friend and I send each other the video on a regular basis. We like it when awful people die.

    The right celebrates every leftists’ death. The right especially likes to celebrate trans suicides. The right has no right to complain about fairness.

    On principle, I don’t celebrate anyone’s death. I mourn the loss of potential to do good, however unlikely it might be to ever be realised. Imagine what his influence and charisma might have achieved, if he’d turned his bullshit around.

    I do celebrate the end of people doing evil, however. I am glad he stopped being a lying, manipulative piece of shit. I hope more of his ilk will follow his example.

      if he’d turned his bullshit around

      I think it’s safe to say a college dropout who chooses to spread hate and misinformation to make a quick buck is probably not redeemable in any way, shape, or form.

        Yeah, hence my “however unlikely it might be to ever be realised”.

        Anyone can have some significant personal event that fundamentally alters their outlook and worldview, sort of like a " coming to Jesus" moment (though it would have to be the “help the poor, treat the sick, love your neighbour, fuck the rich” version of Jesus and also more of a metaphorical personification of decency than the altruistic bait of a toxic cult).

        But if we can’t have that, then anything stopping him from (personally) doing more harm is the next best option.

      I just want to be able to hang out with my neighbors in the middle of the street while burning a Trump effigy and getting shitface wasted. We’ve earned it.

      If he dies without seeing any consequences for his actions, I’ll be a little disappointed (and not even slightly surprised). I’d rather see him live a long and miserable rest of his life behind bars.

      But I guess sometimes we have to take what we get…

        As satisfying as it would be, I don’t want this over just being done with him. Seeing how shitty things are, there’s a chance he doesn’t stay behind bars. It also doesn’t actually do any good, besides people just getting off on revenge.

        I’m pretty done with revenge fetish shit. It’s a large part of why our prison system is so fucked up. If you’re trying to reform someone then fine, lock them up. If you’re just doing something for revenge then I’m not really for it, especially if it comes with a large risk in the unknown future.

        (This isn’t to say I agree with the death penalty. The justice system fucks up far too frequently to allow it to have that power.)

        He ensured that with this last election. I said it after his first election. No consequences will happen to him. We may know he did wrong. But all he will do is point out the weak points in our system. It’s on us to fix them.

        I thought like this when Biden was elected. I thought it was only a matter of time before Fatboy McKiddieFiddler was behind bars…now I just want him gone. And for just one person in america to have enough spine to go after the rest of that crime family and enablers.

          This is how I’ve been. As much as I’d love to see them suffer for their crimes I just want them gone from this planet as quickly as possible.

          The suffering of hanging at the end of a rope or the fear of knowing the bullet’s coming is enough for me

        Nah, he’s a coward who will be too scared of the ruling class for bold action. Trump gets away with bullshit because he has an unbeatable cult of personality, but the oligarchs have never liked him and have always wanted to replace him with someone weaker. Unfortunately for them, he’s intentionally set up all his underlings to fail, with charisma blackhole nobodies all throughout the entire line of succession.

        Their movement is designed to die with Trump; it’s the will of the rich and of the man himself. Why do you think they’re so intent on keeping the Democratic party out of the left’s control?

      For like a day, assuming his handlers didn’t already have a worse replacement at the ready, which is likely.

    The day he was killed someone posted the uncensored video somewhere on the Fediverse.

    I downloaded it.

    Send it to friends and family.

    I send it to coworkers.

    I joked.

    I laughed at other people’s jokes.

    It was beautiful.

    If you’re a fascist pigsau and don’t know how to have a good time, it’s your own fault.

    The people who have spent the last few decades spewing bile nonstop are upset when they get the mildest bit of pushback. How very predictable.
