      I 100% agree. Reminded me of budd Dwyer. I’m all for gibbing and violence in video games because it’s not real but watching it IRL is a little sobering…

      Some guy yesterday described it as all the hate he spouted had emptied that bucket of empathy a normal person would feel. There are only so many times you can hear such hateful and hurtful things that POS said before you lose the ability to feel any sympathy for them. Sorta like what he felt for everyone but just for him. In my case I felt nothing bad when I saw that video. Nor the image above.

        In times like this, fascists will work to weaponize empathy. They’ll say you’re an awful person if you don’t feel bad about it. They’ll say you’re awful for shit-talking, because you lack empathy. In reality, demanding empathy from the victims of fascism is another violence against the victims that those fascists actively work to oppress.

        Fascists have mastered the act of shooting and crying, then using empathy (or more specifically, the lack thereof) to demonize the same people they have been shooting at. They begin by oppressing people. When those oppressed people eventually refuse to show empathy for the fascists, the fascists claim that the people they have been shooting at are monsters. And that is used to further justify the fascists’ actions.

        Don’t fucking fall for it. This is the same idea behind “the tolerant left” being coined by conservatives. It’s used as a cudgel whenever intolerance is refused, like some sort of gotcha. If you feel empathy for him, then great for you. But don’t let anyone make you feel bad for refusing empathy against an oppressor. Because the person attempting to villainize you is only working to victimize you.

    30.06 to the fucking neck. For those not in the know, that’s for taking a deer, through everything, lungs and heart. Considered a humane way to drop a medium-sized animal instantly. No pain. The shockwave is astonishing. Kirk’s brain and spinal column were shut down, he felt nothing, had no idea anything happened. He was “disconnected”.

    My FIL shot a deer from front to back with that same round. He was so horrified seeing that animal ripple, never hunted again. I’m no hunter, but I feel him. I have my own reasons for not hunting.

    Or, you’re living in WWII and shooting Nazis, which we see here. Get fucking used to it. This will be a sight on your own block soon enough. Take my AR? Aight. I’ll break out the 30.06.

    Most gunshot deaths are exactly like this, with less spurting. Early internet, I saw a Mexican college kid protesting. Took a 12-gauge, 00-buck, straight to the chest, 12". He merely looked surprised, little blood bloomed on his shirt, dropped straight down.

    It’s not Hollywood, people flying backwards through plate-glass windows. Nah. People simply drop on the spot, sack of potatoes. No drama. Simply dead. Early cowboy movies caught grief because the actors would simply drop when shot. That’s how it works.

    I know most of y’all aren’t shooters. Here’s my poor joke on the difference in AR-15 rounds vs. 30.06. Charlie was hit with a fucking cannon.

    Here we have an image of an actual white-supremacist Christian-fascist Nazi suffering from the consequences of their actions from their own spreading of hatred, and you all are cursing and shitting on OP for not tagging it NSFL, when this is an issue with the Fediverse not OP being a dunce.

    The other Lefties in these comments just being absolutely complete limp-dick losers is making me realize why we are losing elections to right-wing extremists across the globe.

        This pic is gonna be pretty fucking tame compared to what we American’s will soon be seeing in real life. Studied WWII? I took two years of Advanced European History in high school. Fascism is here, now, today. American democracy is not hanging by a thread, it’s all over but the shouting.

        Pick up a fucking rifle, learn it, practice safety and marksmanship. Same goes for your choice of pistol. I’ve been onboard since 2020. If you’re not onboard, you will be onboard a train. Yes, you will risk death. You’re going to die either way. I choose to die with my boots on.

        This is not macho talk. I fucking hate living like this. Been out all afternoon, shooting my new .22, and writing this reminded me to get my AR-15 and nightstand pistol out the safe. How fucked up is that?!

        I’m scared shitless to take my wife back to the Philippines and get her legal ass back in. Seeing a little blood isn’t scaring me anymore. Maybe I’m less human?

      It’s the trolley problem. If you can save 5 lives by killing 1, is it correct to kill the 1, or do nothing?

      Charlie Kirk made a career at the expense of the dead. Fuck him, I’m glad he’s dead, I’m glad it was at the hands of another and not natural causes, I’m glad that it happened right in front of hundreds of other like-minded Nazis as a reminder of what awaits them, and I can’t wait to see who the next dead Nazi is going to be.

        Please don’t wait. Please don’t sit on your hands because you’re too scared to do shit yourself. Be the change you want to see in this world. Stop hoping that another mentally ill person kills people you don’t like.

        This is a fucking cliché of limp-dick Lefties like you: only waggling fingers and waving signs all day to high five each other thinking they make a difference, when in reality the shit in this image is what is changing the world.

        You are doing the same shit as Republicans with their “sending prayers” do-nothing bullshit. Go out and do something peaceful, but armed as a deterrence. Don’t go out seeking violence, because it’s coming for you eventually from the MAGA Christian fascism eventually.

      /u/dessalines I would suggest that community consensus should be able to apply the NSFW tag without poster or moderator intervention.

      I think some “moderation actions” should be better crowdsourced beyond simple upvote/downvote system, to offload the burden on moderators who can then, only review community consensus actions, rather than perform all actions themselves and have to view and decide everything. One example of this is the “community notes” of Xitter. I think there is a lot of opportunity for improvement compared with the shadowy and unaccountable ways that moderation is usually performed on social media.

        Yeah, you could keep usual moderators as the basis and ultimate arbiters, but it would be, at the very least, interesting to try your approach. E.g., anyone can check the mod queue and be randomly assigned to moderate a recently reported post, and to avoid abuse or mistakes it could require 2 or 3 people agreeing on how to resolve something.

          I would also like to see most moderation actions, be a filter applied client side and under full control of the user. Moderation becomes a “default view” of the consensus, that users are not forced to abide.

          After that, we can have client side ability to ignore certain user’s moderation action based on their account history and history of reliable judgment and the user could decide how much weight to give to various actors in the ecosystem

        People with PTSD exist and are on the same internet as you. People browse the internet in public where they don’t want to be flashing around images of dead people.

        Deranged way to respond to someone who asked that a post be flagged as NSFW for people who don’t want see footage of someone being killed. Do you think anyone wouldn’t ask for footage of the school shooting to also be marked NSFW?

        Go hang out in gore communities if the best reason you have to shove images of death in peoples’ faces is “victims also had to see it.” Seeing shit like that regularly is incredibly psychologically damaging, and you have no idea what other people are dealing with when they scroll across something real and violent like this.

        Talk to a therapist if you think shoving these images in the faces of people who don’t want to see it is normal.

        People can care about school shootings while also not wanting to see a dying body and someone’s bloody gunshot wound randomly appear on their timeline when they’re just trying to look at some fucking memes.

        This is like if I started filling your timeline with random snuff films and gore videos, and when you complained, went “OH you don’t like this? Well the human trafficking victims used in these videos didn’t either.”

          Gun violence is a reality in America and the longer you guys close your eyes and do nothing the worse it will get.
