- Republicans warn against mocking Kirk’s death, threaten dire consequences
- At least 15 people fired or suspended for allegedly disrespecting Kirk’s memory
- Online campaigns directed by Republicans continue to target Kirk’s critics online
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - After the fatal shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, U.S. Republicans have a warning for Americans: Mourn him respectfully or suffer the consequences.
Over the past several days, Democratic and Republican leaders have widely condemned the murder of Kirk, a 31-year-old activist and Trump world celebrity known for his hard-right views and pugnacious debating style.
Republicans honor the memory of Charlie Kirk by doing… _checks notes _…”snowflake liberal cancel culture”
Yes, “mourning”, that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Me too. He went so fast he didn’t know what was happening.
Those frames immediately after impact keep replaying in my head and it makes me feel uncomfortable in public spaces. It’s so difficult to hide my erection.
My dick is tiny so I don’t have that problem.
Nah. Fuck your feelings. Rest in piss, shithead.
If you mourn a nazi you are a nazi.
At the same time, always remember that whatever you say online can be used against you. Now or 10 years in the future when your life is much different than it is now.
Good, fuck Kirk and any other right wing piece of shit. I hope they all get a bullet.
“removed by mod” lmao how fucking poetic
Nice to see mods here are working overtime to appease the fascists. I am aware of the comment’s original message, and am in agreement.
I mean this is ‘Lemmy.world’…
Noticeably the worst (most reddit like) popular Lemmy instance
Just gonna scoot by here and…oops, dropped the publicly accessible mod logs
That’s why I’m glad to be an old fart. The only thing different for me in 10 years is that I’ll give even fewer fucks.
Just wait till Trump’s 3rd term where he saves the budget by denying social security based in social media posts.
Social security wont exist by the time im ready to retire
Wherever his grave will be, it will become a public toilet.
And a dance floor. The logistics might be a challenge but we’ll manage.
His greatest achievement will be his contribution to public sanitation.

Appropriate.
Who do these people think they are?
Our lords and masters, literally.
They think they are everyone’s betters. They have God on their side y’know.
I’m not American. Let me teabag his grave for all of you who can’t afford the risk.
I can’t say I feel sorry for him, specifically.
But anyone who can’t agree with the fact that us being here, where a man (whether you agree or not) was shot at a public event for his beliefs and people are celebrating it, is absolutely insane for things to have gotten to this level. Needs to do a bit of thinking.
And I mean that as, whether you think it was his beliefs (which I fully believe are WILD) that led to him being shot because they had no basis in reality and only sowed hate or the guy who shot him was crazy and shot him, we all need to admit, this situation is so far out of normal that I’m not sure there’s a chance to go back.
Sure that’s something to be addressed if the murderer is a leftwing extremist. All the evidence suggests this kid is an ultra-nationalist Groyper. Media silence all but confirms it.
The bigger issue is that conservatives care so much about what others think. If you see someone doing something you don’t approve of you call them an asshole and move on. You don’t threaten violent retribution and another Civil War.
Sure, people celebrating the death of Kirk is a bit unseemly, but they’re not hurting anyone so leave them alone. This all comes back to control and I’m against bullies above all.
The bigger issue is that conservatives care so much about what others think.
They are essentially Puritans. At least when it comes to anyone the merest iota different from themselves:
Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
they are also very shallow people, they care about other peoples looks, and how people percieve them look, hence thats why they go complete the “mar-a-lago” face surgeries.
Wtf are you even talking about he was a literal Nazi shot by another Nazi for not being Nazi enough lol.
I’m not sad that a fascist was murdered.
I am sad that the US has got to the point where fascists are being murdered, in public.
There’re millions of Americans who are ordinary people who are watching their home burn to the ground and are effectively powerless to do anything about it.
Let’s not forget it was a fascist murdered by another even-more-fascist fascist for not being fascist enough.
Yeah. It is sad that that is what its come to.
A much better way of putting my point.
The fact that someone like him was elevated to the status he was coupled with someone feeling they needed to go as low as killing another human to make things better is insane. I hope American history (as long as America still exists long enough for this to become history) looks back at this like we looked back at other huge events in American history and some 4th grade teacher someday has to try to explain to our great-grandchildren how we let things backslide to this point followed immediately by a chapter on the first presidential debate held entirely virtual with augmented reality and holograms.
Correction, he was not shot because of his beliefs, he was shot because of his actions: running a Republican fascist media company.
Running a not fascist enough media outlet apparently … Charlie Kirk, the neo left wing, what a time to be alive
Agreed - but I’m not going to mourn him. And I think those lionizing him should be noted, doxxed and have their place of employment notified.
Because they are honoring a Nazi.
I am sick to fucking death of people saying that we are ok when assholes like this die because we hate their beliefs. They were not hated because of their beliefs. They were hated because of their fucking shitty actions and the shitty words that came with those. Get the fuck out of here with this fucking belief bullshit.
Cracks fingers
Time to start logging into my Xitter, ND and FB alts again LMAO
Dude I logged into my Facebook yesterday for the first time in a long time.
First I found out an old friend from highschool of mine unalived, coming up on the first anniversary of the event. Not close…we were on the football team together one year, we hung out a bit for a few years after I graduated, but honestly I think I’ve seen him once in the past 20 years.
But then on top of that, I see so many people writing words of praise and support for Kirk. People that I thought were friends, but honestly, I dont think I want to associate with them anymore.
Lemme clear something…any death is a tragedy, there are better ways, etc etc.
But, to use their words against them, he was asking for it.
This guy is the Christo-Fascist version of Joseph Goebbels, and his death is being treated like MLK’s…
Prominent conservative talking head and one of the big people behind MAGA, Turning Point, and a big proponent of all the associated propaganda. He would sit on Vance’s couch while they take turns sucking Thiel’s dick.
I guess Nazis would’ve mourned Goebbels if he were assassinated
Thiel, for those that don’t know, is basically the New World Order. Legit everything that conservative conspiracy theorists have been scared of for decades, and they are lapping it up.
And I get this funny feeling that Kirk is going to become this generations Franz Ferdinand. Not the singer. Part of me even thinks this was intended to spark a civil war, and the internet rage machine is just working as designed. And probably even arranged by a dickhead like Thiel.
I’m not saying he deserved to be assassinated. I’m saying that he doesn’t deserve mourning. He has committed his life and legacy to turning back decades, if not centuries, of societal progress. Fuck. Him.
Sorry to hear about your acquaintance, “unalive” (and its other forms) is still ridiculous.
America is powerless these days. If you act like a whiny toddler, you’ll get treated like one. He practiced what he preached, time to face the music.
Or else what, you hateful pieces of subhuman trash?
I’m sorry, I just don’t have the empathy to mourn Charlie Kirk. It would sully his memory.
These yahoo’s can all go eat a bag of dicks.
Who?

Looks like we’re really gonna have two Americas soon
God, I wish. It would be so nice not to be weighed down by all the baggage. All they do is steal my tax money without representation then piss it all away.
I fully support an independent union of western states.
Becoming the Canadian province of Pacifica or Cascadia would also be acceptable. Let Gilead fend for itself.
Pretty good idea ngl, could even be the precursor to a sorely needed general strike for better working conditions and political representation of non-corporations.
We need a site connected to the fediverse too be able to catalog such information and cooperate secretly and publicly too do things like Target companies for reasons like this. Obviously I am referring to targeting those companies within the bounds of the law that goes without saying.
Do we still have laws? Or is it just whatever Dear Leader decides is law…bcz Im not sure I see that as rule of law exactly.
