      Enjoyer of political violence falls victim to political violence. Oh no! /s

      If these guys were themselves pacifists who prided themselves on giving every idea a fair hearing, I guess I would have a problem with any assassinations. As it is, there’s just one side trying to unilaterally manifest a certain level of civility. One that unfortunately doesn’t seem to exist.

      Edit: I believe this complies with rule 6. Lack of concern about violence isn’t the same thing as advocacy.

                  Racists are just tools of the super rich using them, religious, the ignorant disaffected, etc.

                  After they consolidate power they will be relegated with the rest of the population. They are being used because they are ill-informed, but they are not the ones pulling the strings, not the ones calling and running the plays here. It is moneyed interests doing that

              American MAGAs also don’t really want American greatness if it involves immigrants, minorities, or liberals having a good life there. Their love of America and goals for its greatness are VERY selective, all the way to founding values like freedom of speech, separation of powers, and separation of church and state.

              It’s really just fascism. And fascism, for all its claims to be country-first, is an international reactionary effort.

    Well, the Right is trying to make Kirk into a new Horst Wessel figure, so I’m registering this is as a based attempt to keep the Overton Window at its current position.

    Free speech, bitches.

    A pogrom is a violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group, usually applied to attacks on Jews.

    Wikipedia: Pogrom

    I never seen this word before. I’m going to post it here just in case you haven’t either.

    They’ve really carved out a niche as being just outside the level of militancy that’s politically correct. Punk is back, I guess.

    the post I had commented this on was deleted so I’m going to put it here for no reason.

    I hold the following opinions:

    1. political violence is probably a bad idea. this is for multiple reasons, one of which being that it usually doesn’t create the intended effects.

    2. charlie kirk might have been the worst piece of shit commentator of that era. i’m glad he shut the fuck up.

    3. there are a lot of political commentators like him. the benefit of having one less of them is overshadowed by the detriment of the reaction to a political assassination.

    4. his family is the absolute least of my concerns. i don’t think about them at all.

    There absolutely is justification for violence, political or otherwise. To say there is none is a violators way of ensuring they can continue to violate unchecked. Tagging politics as a motivator for such violence is also a misdirection. Hate is not political, race is not political. What makes them seem political is the fact that they are accepted and pushed by our elected officials. Those officials fully believe they are and should be immune to any repercussions for what they do and say. This belief is what gives them the will to ignore the protests and laws on the books that go against their wishes. What other option does anyone have but to show them in the strongest way possible that they are destroying everything they touch?
