The more we normalize assassinations, the worse the world becomes. America is slightly more fucked today.

He had shitty opinions, we know. I won’t follow them. I will have empathy and I will not celebrate his death. Still, I think the world’s population improved with one less hateful person around.

Just to add, assassinations are not cool whether they’re extrajudicial or not.

He had shitty opinions
I think we should stop saying this.
He was killed for his actions, not his opinions. His members are the ones who kill for opinions.
Discussing his personal opinions feels like a bit of a republican both sidesing talking point, honestly. It was the same with talk radio hosts decades ago. People would argue whether Limbaugh or Hannity really believe all the BS or if they just do it for ratings.
I only remember caring about that distinction when I was still immersed in the conservatism I was born into.

I’d also add the argument of, “Don’t stare into the abyss, lest we become the monsters we’re denouncing.”

What would you say if someone on the left was killed as revenge?
