Couldn't have happened to a bigger piece of shit.

Now we just gotta keep the ball rolling and erase the lifetime achievements of everyone else on the Far Right.

Very inspirational tweet. Thanks for the pick-me-up, OP.

I mean his death couldn't have been more memable. He literally got shot at a school by a white kid. While talking about school shootings, trying to shift the focus onto black gangs, standing under a prove me wrong tent.

Got shot at a school, by a white kid for being not racist enough

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, the land of the free. Where you might get shot by a racist for not being racist OR shot by a super-racist for only being normal racist.

Trump just needs to die on the crapper to cement his legacy.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I need it to be so much more televised. I need him to just stop talking mid-sentence, fall over, and shit himself all on live TV. So far ive only gotten 1/3 of that.

The ONE TIME in his life where he finally leaned left on the topic of gun violence. So inspiring!

Thank you for your service, Charlie o>

Proof that people can change

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 50 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He was a joke way before that

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep. Huge head, tiny face, running Toilet Paper USA.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 48 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Wait why is it sinister and demoralizing? I find it a laugh. Also he’s been fucking canonized by the other side so cry me a damn river.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They killed him so I mean…

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s ok. He himself said it’s worth it to have the second amendment. If he could be, I’m sure he’d be happy about it.

That’s what should happen to people who simp for the Fourth Reich.

The public mocking or ... the other thing?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

The other thing. Mockery only strokes the ego of the one doing the mocking. Direct Action eliminates the problem.

He wasn't even a believer in the shit he was peddling, just a talking head paid by grifters.

Oh, please. That asshole got exactly what he asked for. And after he was gone, his wife showed exactly what she is: a spineless, petty, money-grubbing whore.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 9 points 2 weeks ago

He said, to paraphrase because i don't remember exactly what he said, that a few gun deaths is fine as long as they keep their 2A rights. Serves him right. ironic as fuck.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He deserved it. His legacy is shit and garbage because his life was shit and garbage.

He was a tiny faced meme in life too.

[–] tomkatt@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Demoralizing? Knowing that absolute shit people will always be remembered as absolute shit people is heartening.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

There's something incredibly satisfying and encouraging about this, like watching a viper's leaden soul being weighed by Anubis and devoured by Ammit in real time.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

it's telling that she's more pissed off over been mocked by a black guy than the death of her husband.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I'm supposed to give a shit that some fascist propagandist died?

Bring his widow here and i'll laugh in one of her two faces.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, I still keep confusing him with Ben Shapiro.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ben talks funnier, while charlie had a funnier head

This is only true amongst the people who are always laughing at him. Amongst the people who always liked him, they still worship his ideology.

The thing I really wish happened upon his death is the deconstructing his table shtick. Clearly a bastardization of what started the free speech movement at CalU Berkeley in the '60s. When the students set up off campus to talk about the discrimination happening with local business hiring practices, and the authorities, including the University, who's property they weren't on, tried to stop them.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds good

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is stupid because most of the people who know who Kirk is, only learned about him upon his death.

I'm pretty online, and didn't know much about him when he was alive EXCEPT that he was a huge meme.

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, his face wasn't a huge meme. It was rather tiny, really.

That's exactly how it's supposed to be for evil people. Once they croak, nobody comes to their defense except other evil people, and their heart just isn't in it because, well, they're evil.
