  At the end of the day he is a human being, that’s why.

  Julius Streicher was also a human being. He was hanged at Nuremberg for the same kind of hate-mongering that Kirk made his whole career doing. Kirk was guilty of crimes against humanity.

  Maybe it’s time to start fighting fot our liberties, instead of feeling bad for the guys taking them away.

    There’s a long list of people taking our liberties away, and the guy who says stupid shit is pretty far down on that list. Words matter, but they’re not violence.

      Why do you think the actual white power, right extremists are getting closer and closer to power everywhere? Why is there is a spike in young men leaning right? Because they listen to assholes like this one. Words are very dangerous in the long run.

        No, its because they see asshole like you cheering for the murder of people who say dumb shit. How the fuck can you not see your own extremism when its so fucking blatant??? “People who dont agree with me deserve to die!”. That you lot, thats you lot right fucking now.

        Yes, words matter.

        But the ends don’t justify the means. Morality isn’t outcome-oriented. It’s wrong to kill someone just for their words and ideas.

        If the assassin had targeted the people enacting those ideas, that might be different. But assassinations tend to be a net negative. I can’t think of an exception.

  No, someone who spread as much hate as he did, doesn’t deserve sympathy.

  I hope the bullet is ok.

  No he wasn’t a human being, he was a fascist. The two are mutually exclusive. The world is a better place now that he’s not in it and that’s worth celebrating.

  Whatever. He was fucking gloating ever since the MAGAts took over, while others are being violently oppressed for “not qualifying” to be “American”.

  while the progressives and liberals are supposed to care about all people supposedly.

  This is like saying “so much for tolerance” when progressives don’t tolerate intolerance. It’s a social contract: if you are intolerant of others you don’t get the benefit of tolerance extended to you.

  If you are unsympathetic towards others then you don’t get the benefit of sympathy.

  People don’t sympathize with their trash when it ends up in landfill.
