Extremists and an anonymously run website are posting identifying details about people accused of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats.

    I mean, I don’t think you should celebrate his death. He’s not gonna hear it, but he still has kids.

      Christopher Hitchens was IMO one of the greatest orators of the 20th century.

      “Our responsibility is to hate our enemies, and to destroy them before they destroy us”

      He was referencing militant religions (or as he put it elsewhere, “people who actually believe the words in their Bronze Age religious texts”)

      Dude said he’d force his ten year old daughter to carry a pregnancy to term if she were raped. His kids are better off without him if they aspire to be anything other than a trad-wife baby incubator.

      I’m happy his kids will not be raised by a hate-monger like Charlie Kirk. I’m sad that it took his death to accomplish that. And I’m sad that it probably won’t make a single iota of a difference in their upbringing.

        Yeah, I’m sure “my dad was killed by liberals” will help with them being less filled with hate.

          Helldiver’s 2 memes, dads a 3 percenter, meme costumes - killed by an alt-right groyper is what appears to be accurate.

          Fuentes had big issues with Kirk in the past, going back the better part of a decade. They used to interrupt Turning Point events.

          Dad got killed by maga who felt some maga weren’t maga enough.

            Yeah, it looks like it might have been a fasc-on-fasc faction fight. If that’s what it is, it’ll be interesting to see the contortions right-wing media will go to to still blame it on the usual scapegoats.

            I read that last sentence as “Dad got killed by Marklar who felt some Marklar weren’t Marklar enough”.

          The shooter was (unsurprisingly) a white Christian male, cis gendered. He hated Nazis and wanted to kill one.
