saw this about Kirk [View all]

A nazi was shot by an American (presumably), for the first time since 1945. Charlie Kirk was a fascist, an American nazi. The same day he was shot, two school kids in Colorado were shot by a classmate, who then committed suicide. Kirk would not have cared, as he did not care when so many have been killed before. He was responding to a question about mass shootings when he was hit. He was a second amendment absolutist. Bullet ridden school children, church attendees, shoppers in grocery stores....he did not believe in empathy. He was an "evangelical" who had no faith in the actual, historical Jesus. All those death by guns were acceptable. It was additional poetic irony that he was shot in an "open carry" state.

He also believed there was no limit to speech, no limit to hateful and dishonest speech (at least the kind he spewed). He was a zealot, and missionary for hate and false speech. Naturally he rallied people to *rump. So let us think he would remain consistent, and not think of him as a possible hypocrite (as many who mourned him are). And it would be hypocritical for him to have objected if someone would have unpleasant words, or feelings concerning his death. But immediately other American fascists were making of him their Horst Wessel, and calling for vengeance. None of these had a word of sorrow for Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog when they were all shot dead, and for John Hoffman and his wife, both survived being shot by a politically conservative (read: fascist) evangelical.
