Do I think Charlie Kirk should have been murdered? NO.

But it SICKENS me to see so many americans paying tribute to him.

He laughed about violence

At least he can rest eternally grateful knowing that his assassin was NOT a DEI hire.

It's too soon....to forget about his last great piece of content.

Do I think Charlie Kirk should have been murdered? NO.

Why not?

[โ€“] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Because he's been martryed. Because in a civil society rather than being murdered he wouldn't have any real base to start with.

Most people already forgot. Especially his wife.

[โ€“] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He's been fast food martyr marketed like a forced meme. So artificial and it shows lol. Nobody genuinely cared that fuckhead died.

[โ€“] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

Genuine care is not a necessity for martyrdom. In fact I'd say in most cases there is not genuine care.

Note the lack of anyone concerned about providing medical attention.

Who is this guy again? I keep not caring enough to remember.

Something about the Vietcong? And Star Trek? There's just no way of knowing.
