I'm saddened to see how many people on this thread are just fine with killing a strong advocate for values that they do not hold.
This kind of hate just entrenches the "other team" deeper In their support of those other values, which doesn't just hurt you. It hurts the rest of us who hold similar values to yours.
It also makes it harder to differentiate our values from theirs because this is exactly what they do to the "other" and what we claim to be against.
Hate is the path to the dark side.
I am sad that I am ok with a strong advocate for values I do not hold, ending up murdered.
Values are not universally valid.
The values held by this dead person were harming society by the theft and denial of human rights for others.
Totally agree. I feel there is a difference between quietly feeling evil met with consequences and celebrating a murder.
It happened, society might be better off, but taking joy from murder and feeling that is good is likely to lead to much more death and mayhem.
Imagine someone murdered AOC and thousands celebrated. Would you be more or less likely to politically reconcile with people from that political group?
I would be less likely, which leads the whole society toward civil war and horrific bloodshed.
There are people who feel your values are invalid. Better watch your back if they feel the way you do about how to handle that.
One of those people caught a bullet.
Waah.
I'm saddened by people who are OK with a man using his very public platform to say things like this, and it's very clear they hate their own children. Please explain to me, if you have children, why do you support their murder? Sick and demented. Disgusting.
There's no place in this world for violence against children, but you disagree. Why?
Where did I even imply any of that vile crap you vomited up? You clearly lack the capacity to understand basic decency or form a simple argument worth discussing.
I'm fine with the fact that a harmful, hateful person who inspired people to perpetrate violence against vulnerable people is dead
That's all
The world is a better place without him, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise
If you don't think that people have been murdered by someone inspired by that worthless piece of shit, then you're delusional due to lack of oxygen from up on that high horse of yours
Nice - that will win friends and influence people. Keep it up.
If you need influencing to recognise wtf Kirk was saying... You're not worth the time.
Whoosh! That was sarcasm. I guess I need to add "/s" in the future.
Possibly. It's hard when it's been said without hint of irony...
It's the major flaw in text communications.
I have zero interest in being your friend
Whoosh! Again.
If the value is basically calling for a cleansing? Fuck your values.
I agree with that. I don't think that makes it okay to murder him, while you do.
No one sane said its okay to murder him. I'm fine with those being called "far left" fuck em, it's same level of grifters the right got.
We need less extremes.
