    Well it’s definitely not “new-age”, but apparently the worth “empathy” only entered the English language in 1908.

    So I’m gonna pretend like it’s 1776 like he always wanted me to do and not have empathy for him 😆

    We wouldn’t happen to have the link/recording/article that this came from for context, would we? Not to sound like a "SOURCE?!?!? troll, but I’m curious.

    We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

        You didn’t read my post did you? The man was a shit. I said as much. The point I’m making is why give him or his bat shit crazy ideas more air time now he IS dead. Also, have some dignity.

      The only reliable way to deal with fascists is to kill them. They will keep killing us until we force them to stop.

      Kirk might not have been out there shooting people in the street like a common beat cop, but he built a career out of stochastic terrorism. He suffered the same fate that he advocated for innocent people.

            Please unpack the irony. I’m old, I am no longer fluent in multiply-stacked layers of disingenuity.

            You believe that Charlie is wrong about empathy. But you emulate Charlie. Question: What the fuck?

            You’re just another Charlie of a slightly different ilk. You have to consciously try to learn the right lessons from bad experiences, or you’ll become a bad person.

              I mean, it’s possible to be empathetic and still recognize when a dangerous piece of shit has it coming.

        All this boohooing about his family. His wife chose to marry him because he’s a reactionary racist transphobic piece of shit. Meaning she herself is one. The only people I feel bad for are the young kids

          I’ll gleefully keep talking about a nazi getting his throat blown out by a 5.56 while he was actively blaming LGBT and black people for school shootings, deal with it. You want me stop, call up Trump and have him send ICE to my door.

        In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn’t help the cause.

          You’re the kind of person that will walk right into the gas chambers without a peep, and make it easy for the Nazis. They’re just doing their job, after all.

          A lot of us aren’t taking it so easy. We’re going down swinging.

          Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.
