The assassination of Charlie Kirk threatens to embolden the far right and provide Donald Trump with a pretext for crushing dissent. Escalating political violence corrodes democratic norms and poses a unique threat to the Left.
Do you think there are any situations where it is reasonable to withhold empathy?
From my understanding the Kirk fellow was a demagogue who was happy to promote all sorts of vile ideas for personal enrichment.
From my time in the US, I understand that this sort of thinking is haram, but I have enough knowledge of comparable demagogues in other countries to not buy into the “sincere belief” gibberish.
