That’s still kind of a crazy take, because while he was in theory just ‘expressing his opinion’, his opinion was extreme and helped normalize the current atmosphere where people are comfortable posting stuff like this online

Look, at the end of the day, it was a gruesome video and nobody deserves to die like that. I feel like most people agree. But calling for the arrest of people who don’t feel bad for him just kind of strikes me as an extreme overreaction

I dont think his opinion was an extreme but I respect the way others could. But even if you believe his opinions were extreme and normalized the “current atmosphere” that you disagree with while others rightfully do not, it doesn’t justify his assassination. You still didn’t answer my question of why you would want to share the streets with people who feel no sympathy after seeing that video. If your answer is because he normalized the current atmosphere, that’s concerning

Honestly, I don’t care who I share the streets with as long as they’re not actively violent. First of all, some people don’t have extreme reactions, or any reaction at all to violence, so that’s not a fair metric to judge things by. Second, building a platform where you know your opinions are inflammatory, and farming content on polarization means people aren’t going to like you, and in some cases won’t feel bad, even if you die. Arresting someone on grounds like that is just unfair.

It just seems like you don’t get the kind of thing you’re saying when you say “we should arrest anyone who doesn’t feel bad for him” when you and I both know the kind of guy he was and the kind of platform he built

“You will feel bad about a man who advocated for splitting up immigrant families and said he’d make his 10 year old daughter give birth to a rape baby for the sake of winning a debate or you will get deported to CECOT for thoughtcrime”

Like it’s just I’m not even touching on the fact that we’re saying “arrest people because of how they feel” bc that’s just like an ethical question I’m not willing to take on I already got a headache

Exactly lmao, if you can’t see the baked in extremism in that sentiment then you’re too far gone

1) Tyler Robinson wasn’t actively violent- he was an unsympathetic leftist hiding on discord waiting to gain the courage to do something this horrific. Anyone could be next. You would share the streets with him, yes or no? 2) THATS THE PROBLEM. We are desensitized to violence and it causes things exactly like this. 3) he went to college campuses and begged people to talk to him- not to solely debate them, but to have civil discourse because he believed communication was the answer-

Anonymous womenfortrump 1w

that’s polarization to you?? 4) arresting all leftists who feel no sympathy is an extreme hypothetical. Obviously it won’t happen. But it’s meant to show you how dangerous feeling no sympathy because of politics is and you’re missing the point.

I think he did build his platform on polarization. His content is a lot more inflammatory than you might realize bc you might be agreeing with a lot of the things he’s saying. But even recently on his instagram he called the act of Muslims (not Islamic extremists, just Muslims) immigrating to Europe “civilizational suicide”. That’s intentionally inflammatory language to get engagement from. And when you say stuff like that ALL THE TIME, some people who don’t like you won’t care if you die.

“Civil discourse” and he was quite literally just farming ragebait views and would redirect good questions into bad faith representations, quite literally his last words were about to be spent blaming mass shootings on gang violence (dog whistle)

Anonymous shrimp_fried_rice 1w

I get the point you’re trying to make, and I do wish people had more empathy towards those who are victims of gun violence in general, the public reaction to his death was NOT a hypothetical like you’re suggesting. Sometimes people just wait for the right moments to post how they feel. Like the post I sent above.

Anonymous shrimp_fried_rice 1w

It’s polarization and inflammatory to you because you disagree with the points he made. And that’s fine!! You can disagree all you want- he WANTED people to disagree with him, as I already mentioned. I saw the video you’re referring to and you know that what you just said is taken out of context… I mean come on, who are you trying to convince right now I’ve followed him since 2020. YOU, cannot call someone else’s OPINION, intentionally inflammatory. Do you get that? The way someone else thinks-

does not have to align with your thoughts and values. Charlie Kirk as an individual was not put on this earth to trigger you or anyone else. If you find someone inflammatory, that is your problem. I’m not trying to be insensitive to your feelings either I’m trying to get you to understand because ik you’re smart enough lol

Polarization pretty much just means dividing the public opinion about you. Some people love you, some people hate you, and I’m sure we both agree that’s what he was all about. And there’s no video to be taken out of context, that’s just what he said lol

2

Anonymous womenfortrump 1w

I feel like I’m coming at this from a fairly neutral standpoint here, because I never even really followed him. Inflammatory language doesn’t mean I’m getting mad at it, it just means attention grabbing by its extremity. He knows it’ll get people to engage with him when they disagree. It’s all just part of his persona and his marketing tactics

Anonymous shrimp_fried_rice 1w

There is a video that goes along with that and it would make more sense to you had you seen it. You should look for it. It’s the reason why all of England is protesting right now. Yes I do agree that that is what polarization is lol thanks for the definition! But you’re using the word as a negative connotation to the work that he did and I think we both know that as well. If his beliefs aligned with yours I’m sure it would no longer be polarizing, right?

0

Anonymous womenfortrump 1w

I’m not using the word as a negative at all, I just am trying to explain why some people don’t feel bad for him. But what you said alone proved my point kind of. He has all this nuance to his opinion but instead of posting the video, he posts that instead because he KNOWS it’s an extreme opinion, and he KNOWS that it will get more engagement by nature of it being extreme. This was his whole career, this was the guy he was, this should be no shock at all that some people hated him

Anonymous womenfortrump 1w

It would absolutely be polarizing if I agreed with him. I’d just be on the “I love him” side instead of the “I hate him” side.

Anonymous shrimp_fried_rice 1w

I am begging you to please look in to what the people who loved him are saying about him. As much as it may pain you, watch Candace Owens 2 most recent TikTok’s about him. Watch the way his wife speaks about him. Watch the way he speaks about his wife and his family. Please go out of your way to find the things that your algorithm is intentionally not showing to you. I promise you will see him in a different light if you have any ounce of compassion. Put your feelings to the side

Anonymous womenfortrump 1w

I’m sure they all had great things to say! But that’s just not my point at all. He played into the algorithm for the most extreme engagement to be pushed to the top. I’m sure people who looked deeper into his content understood the points he was trying to make, maybe, but he made money off of the fact that people hated him.

This is what ALL social media influencers do, it just so happens that in an increasingly volatile political environment, the best way to do that as a political influencer is to throw your peppercorn of an opinion onto the pan and watch your shit explode

I’m not trying to say he deserved to die, I hope you know that. I’m just trying to get at the type of content he put out and why it’s not surprising some people aren’t sympathetic as they would be if it was some random person Yknow?

Anonymous shrimp_fried_rice 1w

I just want to make sure that I’m understanding before I make an argument back to you. So you are basically suggesting that it’s the influencers’ fault that people are reacting this way, because they intentionally post extreme things that others will undoubtedly disagree with? And for that it’s reasonable to understand why others would not be unsympathetic to his public assassinatiom?

0

Anonymous womenfortrump 1w

It’s not his fault that he died, that’s the fault of some cringe 4channer who decided he wanted to commit an atrocity for fun. He’s a victim in that sense, and I don’t think his engagement tactics warranted a bullet in his neck, because nothing does. But it’s not unreasonable, based off those same engagement tactics, to note some of the general public will be less than sympathetic towards you about it. People don’t want to give their emotional labor to someone they feel they hate

6

Anonymous shrimp_fried_rice 1w

But I feel like most people, like 99% of people still feel the baseline empathy of, “oh, that’s awful what happened, that shouldn’t happen to anyone.” But that’s where the sympathy ends, Yknow?
