This is the same man who said gun deaths are necessary for freedom. Who was shot immediately after exaggerating trans gun violence and downplaying the rest of the gun violence. He reaped what he sowed. His death is directly caused by policies he advocated for. I would of course be elated if we did not have these problems in the first place, but if someone is going to die because of this shit, I'm glad it's one of them actively making it worse.
Charlie Kirk himself wouldn't have wanted it any other way. He's quoted saying that empathy is made up and is dangerous. He didn't want my empathy and he certainly didn't fucking earn it.
This IS the begotten violence. MAGA chuds have already killed what they perceive to be left wing leaders. And their own leaders are in the process of killing the rest of us. No one wants this, but when the violence has been already happening? Yeah, it's nice to see that it's a nazi dead for once.
But I'd much prefer there weren't nazis in power trying to put me and others like me in the fucking death camps first. Until then, yeah I'm going to cheer when a nazi dies.
What someone says does not exist in a vacuum. His rhetoric encouraged gun violence and vilified empathy. He played a not insignificant part in violently radicalizing fascists, ones that have already been killing or showing actionable intent to kill. He wanted me and others like me to be eradicated from society EXPLICITLY and by running his mouth convinced his base that this was for the best by painting us as child groomers and pedophiles, thereby stirring even more violence in the shocking number of people that listened to him.
He wanted me and those like me to not exist. I'm glad he stopped existing before he could make that a reality. If it's monstrous to be relieved about one less person advocating for my eradication, then I suppose I'm as monstrous as they come.
