Comment on Elon Musk is trying to silence Microsoft employees who criticize Charlie Kirk
anachronist@midwest.social 3 weeks agoI always thought i was left, but seeing how a lot of people on the left gleefully react to someone’s assasination makes me wonder if i’m actually left.
I don’t mourn Benito Mussolini’s passing, i never liked him. But i certainly don’t celebrate his murder either. Anyone who does should be put in a mental asylum as far as i’m concerned. They certainly have mental health problem

Comparing Charlie Kirk to Mussolini…
Yeah, i stand with my comment. You need better health care.

Someone with more time than me could easily do an entertaining mashup of Kirk and Mussolini quotes

How many people did Charlie order to kill? Since when was he the dictator of America? Please do enlighten me, because clearly you know so much more then i do…

Charlie’s job was propaganda. He laundered the fascist ideology into mainstream discourse. If my coworker said some of the awful shit Charlie said, I’d just think he was a racist piece of shit, but I wouldn’t celebrate his murder (nor would I mourn it). But Charlie had an audience of millions, and was paid handsomely to spread his fascist propaganda. I opened my nicest bottle of scotch when I heard the news.

Show me a Charlie Kirk in charge of a country and I'll show you Benito Mussolini.

How many people did Brian Thompson directly execute? Do you also argue his hands were clean?

you start off by saying you’ve always thought you’re on the left
but the moment you disagree with someone, you start shit like this, which is a very common pattern of argument from right-wingers.
“I think your opinion is so wrong that it’s a symptom of mental illness” is just fucking stupid. do better. or, if you refuse to do better, stop attempting the “I’ve always been on the left but…” shtick. it is absolutely see-through and does not fool anyone.
