RIP Charlie Kirk.

You were a good Christian man with moral principles with a wife and 2 kids. You were killed by a lunatic while you were exercising your freedom of speech, you were persecuted by your opponents. Some may say that's a form of fascism, the same party that accused you of being.

The violent rhetoric of the left influenced some weak minded soul to take you from your children, and also taken your quotes out of context.

Charlie Kirk never robbed a pregnant woman at gun point, or robbed a bank, or killed a woman on a train, but instead encouraged open conversation between all parties so they could understand each other in a meaningful way.

May you rest in peace, and may your naysayers see the evil in their ways and repent. They may mock you because they're unable to refute your debates, but they will reap what they sow.

RIP Charlie Kirk

    He also ran a propaganda channel that catered to christo-fascism, and pushed for policies that are deadly to millions of people. Do not white wash him. Goebbels also never did any of those things, he also deserved to die for being a fascist propagandist.

    You could just Google his comments or listen to his podcasts he promoted violence.

    Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been "repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show".

    Sometimes he targeted his violence specifically against trans. Other times, he incited violence more broadly against LGBTQ along with other minority groups.

    He was using Christianity as a shield, he was a fake Christian

    violent rhetoric of the left?

    as far as Ive seen the left mostly talks about taxing the wealthy and universal health care while the right focuses on removing women's, trans rights and jailing immigrants.

    let's not forget that Kyle Rittenhouse was openly celebrated at a Republican convention essentially for killing a black protester.

    do you have examples of this violent rhetoric?

    Charlie Kirk was evil through and through. Kindly leave this platform if this isn't completely sarcastic.

    I don't condone violence, but the world is certainly better with that evil fuck dead.

    Again, leave this platform. I have no more time for someone who fucking thinks that piece of shit resembled anything like 1% of a Christian. He had zero compassion and intentionally led a campaign of hatred and bigotry. That's his legacy.

    Yeah he also never did anything Jesus taught. But if I'm wrong I'd be glad for you to show evidence of it. Otherwise your silence is admittance that you know you're wrong.

    Even the Bible shows that violence isn't only sin, as Jesus showed when he flipped the tables at the temple and even took the time to make a whip to chase out the money changers. In this case the changing of money for example being blasphemous enough to warrant violence from Jesus.

    Likewise, Kirk never directly was violent with anyone, but that doesn't mean he wasn't sinful.

    That you think the left is the only one spouting violent rhetoric though shows that you're just talking in bad faith however, when there are so many examples of the right wing - the one currently in absolute power + of doing so that it would probably be more than the word limit a comment on Lemmy has. I'm sure a book could be written just from violent quotes from the right. And not even recently but going on for decades.

    Ahh a "good christian man" he was anything but. Why do all of the "good christians" go against everything Jesus taught? Why do they only use his name to oppress others? A true christian would welcome and accept those that are different not try and belittle and shame them for their differences.

    Begone CHUD.

    Didn't he say gun violence is unfortunate cost just so people can own a gun to protect from the boogie man? I'd say live by the gun, die by the gun. He got his honorable death or something so you should be happy.
