Right! He was, no doubt. However, Hitler never killed anyone himself. So what made him evil then?

You can be evil without killing anyone or anything bro. You can have evil thoughts or command other people to harm others. You can rape people, sabotage others way of life. What the hell do u mean…

Lighting hella houses on fire and not hurting anything living is still evil because even tho materials and possessions can be replaced you’re still doing an act of intentional harm for the sake of your own gratification. That’s evil.

Right. My point is, Hitler never personally harmed anyone himself. But his words inclined others to do horrible things. There’s been an awful lot of people on here the last 24 hours claiming violence against words you don’t like is not justified. And while I don’t mean to say the events of yesterday were, but that the power of words should not be downplayed. Words may not directly hurt anyone, but they can inspire others to do so.

Ok but Charlie Kirk never wanted the extinction of a specific race or ethnicity of people !? He also was not the dictator or leader of an entire country? He was a political activist, but he didn’t represent anyone. His vote had the same power as anyone else no one HAD to listen to him. No one should die due to their very common political beliefs!

Read my last comment again. I quite literally said none of this justifies his murder. But, he became famous for his politically divisive takes. A lot of them dehumanizing women, minorities and oh, can’t forget, excusing the extinction of an ethnicity on the other side of the world. He did not hold office, but you can’t deny his words had influence. The circumstances of his death were a byproduct of the words he spoke. It’s the same slippery slope of what the public now despises Hitler for.

It’s just ironic how we all pick and choose who “deserves it” when if you break it down to technicalities, Kirk and Hitler used the same weapon: words. And I don’t think acknowledging the weight of Charlie’s hateful messages is the same as claiming he deserved to be murdered.

Hey. It’s not ironic. 😂 I don’t think all life has the same value. However, evil people committing suicide shouldn’t be celebrated because they never lived without privilege or suffering post actions.

It most definitely is ironic. The only real difference is we have the hindsight bias of winning a war against Hitler 80 years ago and the current knowledge of the atrocities he ordered. Can you imagine speaking to a Nazi back then? They’d probably do a lot of the same mental gymnastics to downplay his words. Charlie may not have been responsible for the Holocaust, but it’s important not to let his death overshadow the hate he put in so many people’s hearts.

I don’t know, he had a pretty strong influence over people and spread some pretty divisive opinions. I’m not saying he deserved to die, but it’s awfully ironic how people celebrate similar deaths to others when we believe they’re on the wrong side of history.
