• 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.

    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.

    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.

    That's not a "warning," that's a threat.

    It is just and righteous to threaten them in kind and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

    2. Create a centralized repository of those businesses

    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.

    Republicans honor the memory of Charlie Kirk by doing… _checks notes _…”snowflake liberal cancel culture”

  • source
  • [–] 40 points 1 year ago*

    I’m sorry, I just don’t have the empathy to mourn Charlie Kirk. It would sully his memory.

    I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage.

  • source
  • [–] 39 points 1 year ago*

    I do not condone murder. I don’t even support a death penalty. But I do not and will not mourn terrorists, nor will I tolerate the whitewashing, sanewashing, or saintwashing of that hateful, monstrous person. Who dedicated their life to spreading fear and suffering and damnation among his fellow man.

    I am a staunch atheist, but since Kirk frequently masqueraded as a Christian, I’ll leave you all with this:

    Matthew 23:13-15

    Tap for spoilerYou will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! Because you have shut people out from the kingdom of heaven you will never enter, just as you have stopped others from entering.

    You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! You would rob a widow of everything she has left, while verbosely pretending to pray; therefore, your punishment will be unimaginable.

    You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! You would travel any distance over land or sea to win one convert; and when you have one, you make them twice the child of damnation that you are.

    I'll say this about Charlie Kirk: while inconsistent, at some point he wanted the Epstein files released. Let's mourn him properly. Let's get those files. Do it for Charlie™.

    Kirk was a piece of shit. Everyone defending him at the very least is shit stained by association

  • source
  • [–] 31 points 1 year ago

    “Prepare to have your whole future professional aspirations ruined if you are sick enough to celebrate his death,” said conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump and one of several far-right figures who are organizing digital campaigns on X, the social media site, to ferret out and publicly shame Kirk’s critics.

    Laura Loomer and Kirk's assassin were both Groypers. Nick Fuentes backed Loomer for congress, and she was shit-talking Kirk over his Epstien stance last month. She's more culpable than anyone she's whining about.

    Mourn him properly? Sure. Well as the man himself said it, it is a necessary cost of having the second amendment. Also as he stated empathy is a disease of the woke, so nothing to see here, just move along.

    Charlie Kirk was a racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, quite honestly not that intelligent piece of shit and the universe is better off now that he's been assasinated by a member of his own group in a totally ironic way due to his calls for political violence folding back on him.

    Come at me Republicans, I stand by my stance of pointing out Kirk is a POS even after his death. Besides I'm just doing what Charlie would have wanted anyways, shown him and his family no empathy because empathy is a made up term.

    I got an email at work about this, saying there would be an investigation into employees' posts.

    I can understand if they say something heinous from their work accounts (unless you work for the POtuS, apparently), but there are already rules and regulations for that stuff.

    MMW they will use this sort of surveillance and censorship to go after anyone critical of political figures on the far right. If they're this protective about someone like this, imagine what they could do to silence opposition of other leaders who are alive.

    Kirk did not deserve to be killed.

    I won’t mourn him and no one else should because Kirk and many others like him on the right have been pouring gas on the fire that is violence in the US.

    Had Hasan Piker or any other left wing commentator been shot, Charlie Kirk would have been crowd funding to get the shooter out on bail.

    I'm self-employed, so nobody can fire me but me ( and I've been tempted at times). Luckily, my boss despises MAGA Nazi Traitors, as much as I do, so I'm safe.

    Also, I'd never be so stupid as to post my political views under my own name.

    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.
