Nah empathy is for the weak.
Well fuck. Now I have to actually have empathy for his death or he will get what he wants. π
have empathy for his children, who didn't ask to be born into this
and uh I guess that's about it
Empathy for the bullet too.
Yeah no way that thing walked away unscathed.
Well at least it wasn't a waste.
He did say kids should see public executions.
"Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to see public executions?" -Kirk

nah, those kids are definitely gonna privately celebrate. i know i did when my horrible dad died
His daughter just turned 3, and his son is 16 months old. I don't think they're going to celebrate. But, they're going to grow up hearing stories about how their father was a martyr who died heroically, trying to save the soul of the USA. Let's just hope that as adults they're able to see past that brainwashing and understand what a truly horrible person their father was.
Depends on how involved their mother is in the crazy movement.
At least one of the other Toiletpaper guys (Matt Walsh, or the change my mind guy maybe?) was treating his wife so badly that she left him and posted the surveillance videos of his dickhead behavior.
Honestly, they're all so interchangeable. I thought Charlie Kirk was the Change My Mind guy. It turns out that conservative white guys with big fat heads are a dime a dozen.
we can only hope that they realize what he truly is
Can't understand me right now? Just play this when you eighteen <- Kendrick Lamar
They gotta be too young to come out of the programming.
Yeah i guess they didnt asked to be spewed from his tiny rancid worm
Sounds reasonable.
Does that mean you don't believe in empathy?
Sincerely believing in empathy as a guide doesnβt mean only when itβs convenient. Empathy isnβt supposed to be convenient.
For clarification, I'm not claiming he deserves empathy.
Empathy for the other people attending that rally who had to see such a violent event. Some were there to cheer him on, so fuck them. But, others were there to try to debate him. It was dumb of them to play into his game and participate, but still, some will be leaving that event pretty traumatized.
Eh, we can start tomorrow.
Never forget
No because you kjow he meant 'except for me. Have empathy for me.'
So laugh at him and offer your neighbors dome help
You know what else causes a lot of damage? Getting shot in your facist neck.
This is the full context of the quote for anyone curious like I was.
https://rumble.com/v1nnu66-dont-believe-your-lying-eyes-everything-is-fine-bannon-sheriff-lamb-patel-w.html?start=2180
TLDW is that he follows saying he prefers sympathy over empathy
TLDW. what would the difference between sympathy and empathy be?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/sympathy-empathy-difference
I would argue that the average person refers to a mix of both when they use the word "empathy":
Classifying one as "a terrible problem" and the other as acceptable seems (at least) a bit pedantic. Specially when it comes to language, a dynamic phenomena in which words mean what (the majority of) people deem them to mean.
my two cents
The train of thought he talked about right when he said that was that in the past politicians said they feel your pain, even if they are an opponent. Now politicians try to make the case that people aren't in pain.
In that comparison I linked one of the differences is sympathy is feeling pain as your own and another is acknowledging pain without feeling it at all.
I'm not saying I agree with his take, but context made the quote made me go from "this guy doesn't care about others at all" to "grammar police sidenote where he wants people to say sympathy more" in my head
Context is important and I never heard or watched him at all so I wanted to share for people who were interested like I was.
Now finish the quote
I think all of his quotes are finished, now.
