Someone should move that mole from his chin to his neck.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

maybe the gun man was actually aiming for that mole? and missed.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Aiming for his head and missing? Sounds far fetched to me.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

probably a being a good "samaritin" thinking its melanoma.

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, shooters are literally taught to aim for center of mass- Like how could they miss his head like that

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 1 month ago

Proof it was a false flag operation imo.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 29 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's honestly amazing that sniper missed that head.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Too many redundancies. The neck was already overworked.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I think he went for the neck on purpose. Skulls are hard. Bullets can graze off. Bullet ain't grazing off a neck.

was aiming for the face but it was too small

[–] Duit@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Man, I was really hoping that some small town newspaper would mistakenly use this as his eulogy photo.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

because both israeli and russians have nazis in thier ranks, at least russia has literal russian neo nazis.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago

Both are governed by fascists. There's no incongruity at all.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Zionism and Nazism are the same ideology the only difference is their choice of scapegoat

[–] s@piefed.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Please get real, calling Israel a genocidal country is like calling the United States a genocidal country

No, in the sense that both countries have committed genocide.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It is 100% accurate.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (5 children)

We really shouldn't platform dead Nazis.

[–] s@piefed.world 39 points 1 month ago

Dead fascists should be platformed the Mussolini way 🙃

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 month ago

Why not? They are the only good Nazis.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’d rather platform dead ones than living ones. It’s a nice reminder of how funny it was to watch him die.

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Before long, his legacy will be just this one picture. A life wasted, cut short by your own decisions bud... See you in the next meme! XD

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Define platforming & explain how we're doing that.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"Platforming" the way the left uses it generally means "I don't want to see anything that worries or upsets me so I can stay in this safe-space ideological bubble, and it gives me something to form an intellectual argument about and feel like I'm doing something for our side even if it's just pointlessly policing what people say or post."

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm sure all the people on fucking LEMMY are going to see this meme and say "HMNN MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK INTO WHAT THIS KIRK GUY WAS ALL ABOUT" jfc

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Any attention is more than he deserves.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The guy is being elevated to sainthood by the right, he was likely the leading contender for upcoming republican presidential elections. It's very worth making and distributing memes making fun of his "legacy." If you ignore people you don't like, they tend to end up with a lot of power and taking away your rights.

My only complaint is it's being posted on Lemmy, which is preaching to the choir. It should be "platformed" on much larger social media sites.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

He's being elevated to sainthood to "own the libs". The more people make fun of him, the higher he will rise in their eyes. If no one cared about him at all, he wouldn't have had more than a week in the news cycle.

If you want to really mess with his "legacy", use his death to promote gun control. Not as a joke, but seriously. That would be infinitely more effective than any meme.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago

Fascists sponsored by a couple of fascist regimes. Shocker.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're fascists.

People just call them Nazis because Nazis are the most recent, prominent example of fascists most people are aware of.

They act like Nazis, because they're fascists, and so were Nazis.

To be clear, all fascists should meet the same end as Nazis.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

They usually do meet the end the Nazis did. That's why I don't understand the appeal.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

...from beyond the grave, my stomach still wrenches...

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

That's the normal size.
