It's his own fault he is dead. Yeah, someone shot him, but he was basically advocating for mass extermination. So, the shooter basically defended third parties with his divine bullet of holy judgment.
Rot in hell Kirk.
its also someone more right wing than he is. hes practically the left compared to FUENTES team.
Wouldn't it be something if Fuentes was ne. . ..
Nah, I don't want to accidentally violate a rule on Lemmy
Pretty sure the mods have half given up on that front. But yeah it'd be a right shame if Fuentes was the next one, after all it'd stop me from possibly giving him permanent paralysis and locked in syndrome. :D
So then polling indicates he committed suicide?
Yeah, Kirk’s own political rhetoric was pretty extreme and violent.
and got killed by someone more extreme than he is.
He basically killed himself
Not as violent or extreme as the groypers who killed him for not being violent and extreme enough tho...
Did I miss credible evidence coming out that he was a groyper?
Last I heard that theory had been retracted because it was based on a misidentification of the markings on the shell casings.
I mean yeah, there's no question that extremist rhetoric got him killed. and yeah I'd have to say it's far more of his own style of it. The part that baffles me is how it's only 60%, unless they somehow posed it as rhetoric against him. To me that question is as basic as saying "did gun violence have anything to do with his death?", uhh yeah.
I have feeling the question is vaguely worded so that they can then try and tear it to say "is it people saying he supports facism the reason for the violence". So that they can push to criminalize describing reality and pointing out real problems, because some people might try to solve problems with violence.
He who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
Reminder that 99% of terrorism this century has been right wing
The day people stop hearing right wing voices is the day most political violence ends.
he was killed by a conservative
a more RIGHT wing conservative than he is, aka fuentes is who is ultra right wing. Kirk is more akin to TRUMPs leaning, than a groypers.
Nazi trash, is nazi trash and always will be
Extreme in which direction?
Yeah, ask these people to define what they mean by "rhetoric" and I bet this common ground dissolves pretty quickly
Republicans blamed rhetoric by the widest margin, 73%-19%, but independents (53%-28%) and Democrats (54%-34%) were also much more likely to blame extreme political rhetoric as a factor than to discount it.
Say stupid shit, get popped.
Who?
Just another gang shooting at a school. Don't worry about it
Just another school shooting victim. No need to know his name.
How about asking what they think about white wing terrorism
"if you take away the mentally ill you'll find that white wing terrorists don't exist." - probably
Wrong, you’ll just be left with the evil ones
Root causes, huh, like instilling a president that has had a history of actively rooting for his voterbase to "fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore". Among other violent rallying cries.
In same way that water is contributing to drowning.
I wasn't aware that guns responded to violent rhetoric! Perhaps they should be more carefully restricted if they just go off like that.
