I was just thinking about that. Someone will whine about empathy sooner or later and I’ve come up with what I think is a pretty good response, feel free to use it if you agree.
I’ve been putting up with their hateful shit for most of my life, exactly how many years of that are required before I’m allowed to have an empty empathy tank for them?
yeah that was…very not gruesome? i’ve seen people hype it up but, like, that was nothing? unless you’re afraid of blood i guess. most death i’ve seen in my life was way worse.
Yeah, that’s not a good place to get shot. AP news said he, “grabbed up with his left hand to his right shoulder” or some shit but that dude is unconscious.
Not just “violence”, but actuvely trying to downplay mass shootings by blaming them on “gang violence”. He’s a goon, but at least he’s the best kind of goon(a dead one).
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.
Fuck, glad I waited to smoke a joint on that one. That doesn’t really seem survivable. Especially with the way the body moved. Though I want confirmation.
Loved and admired by all!? Good with the youth!? I know we are not supposed to talk ill of the dead, but do we have to literally make up lies about him?

Yeah, news hasn’t said he’s dead yet, but the video is very gruesome. I don’t see anyway he’d survive.

I was eating lunch when I watched it. I’m fine. I have empathy when I step on a bug. Not for hateful people like that though.

You can do even better. Charlie Kirk said “I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage”
Just tell them Kirk wouldn’t want you to feel empathy.

Here is the correct response to people asking for empathy for Charlie Kirk.

A friend is aghast at how I can react the way I do. My response is “do you think these ‘just opinions’ exist in a void?”

There are several liters of blood in a full sized adult. I don’t understand how people are so shocked by a cup or two’s worth.
Mike_Hunt@lemmy.ml 3 hours ago
Yes i know, but it’s not something you see everyday in HD and close up.
Most of the gore videos I saw as a teen didn’t even come close to how clear this was and i saw a cartel beheading video.

That’s a blood-rich area of the body.

Clicked on it. Yeah that’s some NSFL stuff.
shani66@ani.social 22 hours ago
eh. that was a good bit of blood, but if you’ve seen someone die outside of a hospital you’ve probably seen worse.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yeah. Modern medicine is amazing, but that looks pretty much un-surviveable.

I unfortunately looked at it. The guy saying, “Yeah, gang violence” right before, is some weird shit.
Also, why would anyone kill him? He’s been irrelevant for awhile now, yeah?

“Violence “ was the last word that shitstain said in this world. 🤷🤷🤷

I’d love to know the context for maximum irony.
My thot sand prayers go to him, and I agree with OP.

Seleni@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
They’re trying to make him big again. So much for that, I guess
db2@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
He really stuck his neck out for it, worked himself bloody. He took his shot.

My mom is watching cable news and just texted me they said he died. I’ll see if I can find a print version.
