THEY’RE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!!!!!!!! USE YOUR FUCKING BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your criteria for it to be someone ok to kill someone? How do you make this as objective as possible? Also I don’t like him but just seeing your perspective.

Funny, I missed the part where Charlie Kirk hit the twin towers with planes, invaded Kuwait, orchestrated the holodomor, helped run the holocaust, ran the Japanese empire during World War Two, lead a bloody coup in Chile, or orchestrated the Congo “Free State” Stop comparing men to monsters to justify atrocities. It makes you look like one yourself

How do idiots always manage to miss the point so badly? All they’re saying is that pointing out the fact that Kirk was a husband and a father means absolutely nothing. And if that’s the best you can come up with to justify why everyone should grieve him, then that says a whole damn lot more about him than you realize

I guess you also missed the part where a shooter in El Paso, Texas killed a dozen Mexican and Brown people in a Walmart after writing a manifesto that directly named Kirk and his harmful beliefs. Sure Kirk didn’t do it directly, but Osama also didn’t fly the planes.

No, this is just another example of jumping to extreme comparisons and throwing out extreme buzzwords to bring a conversation to a grinding halt. People are mentioning being a father/husband as just an element to Kirk’s life. Kirk never killed anyone or was never a politician directly impacting policy. He was just a social media/political commentator. He wasn’t in the same lane as these people so it seems irrelevant to compare them on a broad scale.

again, if YOU used your brain AT ALL!!!!! no one was making comparisons. funny that you want to jump in the convo calling people “deadbrained” (did you mean braindead??? bc deadbrained isn’t a word) when you still can’t comprehend the post.

This is literally a post comparing multiple people who all share being fathers and husbands together. That’s a textbook definition of a comparison idk what to tell you. No need to get all defensive and emotional.

I wonder what it’s like to be able to ignore the facts that are placed in front of you so that everything you see can be perverted and twisted to fit whatever narrative/worldview you want to believe in

Idk you should go ask a radical lefty bc they’re pretty good at doing that. But if you just want to run in circles and make irrelevant references, go for it. You and everyone else who rushes to downvote everything can sit on this thread for the rest of the day together👍

That is the point and I get that but they tend to use comparing people who are not on the same side as them as a way to justify it when that person does. And that is usually the situation with posts like these. I hope that you are right in that OP wasn’t being a snarky leftist trying to justify a political assassination on someone who was exercising first amendment rights but usually but unfortunately from what I’ve seen, 9/10 times they are

i understood it as them saying “being a father/husband doesn’t automatically make you a good person”. i’m sorry you’ve had that experience elsewhere but it seems that OP is simply trying to point out the hypocrisy in the argument “but he was a father & a husband!” there’s a difference between justifying his death & discussing the kind of person he was. OP didn’t say anything about justifying his death, everyone assumed that.

personally, i don’t support kirk being shot bc i’m against gun violence & i also support free speech. i also think he was a terrible person. i dont think being a father or a husband made him a better person. these things aren’t mutually exclusive.
