I’m not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don’t always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

    Their messaging is also weirdly contrived. They almost never do the same for deaths of innocent people, they consider them statistics rather than people. But then a bad guy meets a bad fate, and they bring out their alts accounts to tell you “yOu gUyS aRe eViL.”

    Irony is lost on some people.

      Yeah. Reading conservative subreddits last night was depressing. I was convinced most of the users are bots though. All of them seem to be saying the same shit.

        Sadly that is actually the level of critical analysis that CK listeners operate on. The biproduct of being religiously conditioned to trust in authority without question.

          Well, I say they seem like bots not because they are mad/sad he died, or about their beliefs. But just the way that thousands of people are all expressing hatred and intent for violence against the left, in very similar ways. They sound like LLM output to me.

          What a sad day to be literate.
