I’m not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.
I have empathy for lots of people even if we don’t always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

Let me put this in a simple way. His death should not be celebrated but you shouldn’t mourn for him as well.
Just go “phew, that’s one less bigot” & move on
Hm i felt very happy for a day. Great success!
That’s exactly how I feel. One less bigot on earth
I think you are downplaying his role though. And it is critical to understand this in order to understand why people are actually kind of happy he died. He is not just a bigot, he is a person with a very large sphere of influence who uses this influence to turn people into bigotry or make people who are already bigots more extreme bigots. Overall it is a really huge benefit for society, orders of magnitudes more than just a single isolated bigot.
My reaction was just: “it sucks to suck”.
Him making an incredibly racist statement only for the universe’s immediate rebuttal to be “we’re taking your blood back” was pretty funny.
I got more of a cold sense of “you reap what you sow” justice. If you go around slapping people in the face don’t be shocked if you get your ass kicked one day.
He was a monster. Without the Fourth Reich to prop him up, he would be just one random evil douchebag.
The world is a marginally better place with him gone. Well until they use it as pretext for carpet bombing blue cities.
They were always going to. Fuck em.
They would either have their moment or manufacture it. I’m sadly aware of that.
they should bomb blue MAGA cities if they exist
Yes, we should hope that the nazis bomb those people you don’t like. Sounds quite reasonable. Like someone whose name eludes me might suggest.
Should I name a few? How about Clinton, Obama, Biden or every other president from that cancer country?
They ARE nazis that bomb brown people constantly all over the world.
US imperialism, warmongering and genocide collaboration is bipartisan.
But that doesn’t bother them OC, only now when it’s internal.
Fuck your ‘Blue states’
You all deserve what you created.
Right wingers: how can you celebrate a murder?
Your boos mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.
It doesn’t change them, but it is kinda fun to put together compilations of right wingers celebrating when decent people are murdered.
You can see it written on their RV’s.
YouTube randomly gave me this:
Yes, I would like for him to be next if that’s what they’re saying.

Oh can we have this for christmas? Please please please please please please
Can we get some witches to put a curse on him too?
I watched the video, shrugged my shoulders, and moved on to watch Casual Geographic. At least that is fun.
Honestly, I didn’t feel much from seeing Kirk die. He is just one many conservatives, that I would simply like to turn into dust. They sometimes fill me with anger, but…it isn’t much of a feeling, most days. I want to get on with life.
I won’t lie, when I saw the front row video I felt bad for a second, but that’s inherent empathy. That shit didn’t last long when I remembered who was shot. While I am not overjoyed by his assassination, all I can think of is that it was much deserved. I am glad he won’t spread hate anymore.
I try to keep it for myself, but I will not let people pretend he was a great guy. He was a piece of shit.
As far as I’m concerned it was the same as watching footage of a Nazi’s neck exploding.
And I’ll always take joy in that.
The only good fascist is a dead fascist.
I laughed, and I fucking hate the fascists for being so vile that that was my reaction.
It’s so fucking hard for me to even begin to disagree with you. I want to feel empathy for this human being but for fuck’s sake… you can feel the irony and hypocrisy…
he thought empathy was fake, don’t give him any lmaooo
but I believe in empathy. since when do i let people like charlie kirk tell me what to feel and think? fuckin never is when.
200 people die in the USA to gun violence each day and no one cares enough to learn their names.
This guy helped perpetuate that.
So, you know, feels wrong to give him more than the other 200.
Years of bad faith argument by professional high school bullies does that. Years of spreading hate and intolerance to their “others”, but shock and horror whenever someone didn’t tolerate them. Years of snide comments or glee whenever there was an attack on someone they didn’t like.
I really didn’t care when Paul Pelosi was attacked because people like him don’t care or even notice when someone me gets attacked. Why should I care at that Kirk was attacked?
People are saying that this attack with spark more violence, but it didn’t really matter that Franz Ferdinand was shot. WWI was going to happen some way or another. Whatever happens next was going to happen one way or another.
I agree on a lot of particulars there, but I feel compelled to quibble on behalf of historical contingency. We are separated from the past by an infinity of momentary possibilities, and just as people in the past did not know what was going to happen, we can never know what possibilities did not come to fruition. It seems impossible that there was ever such a thing as a foregone conclusion in light of the sheer amount of things that are left to chance every single day. Any historian worth the time of day will tell you that their subject is a litany of unintended consequences, and I am happier knowing that no fate is preordained, especially not war.
I see what you’re saying about possibilities, but there are definitely patterns to history. Historians will be the first to say that “history rhymes.” The pattern of events that we’ve been seeing unfold over the past few years has occurred countless times before, and surprise surprise, it’s never ended peacefully.
As much as I wish that we, as a society, could have learned enough from the past not to keep falling into the same routines, I see no evidence that we’ve matured that far as a species yet. If the building of tensions has led to violent breaks over and over again throughout history, what makes “now” so special as to be immune from the same fate?
Feel empathy for the fact that people like Charlie, other white supremacists, have something so fundamental missing in their souls they treat other people so poorly. Feel empathy for the fact he was a piss poor human and didn’t understand love, respect, community, humanity, etc.
I like treating it like a game. Think of rabid far right radicals as people under the influence of a cognitohazard. You can’t really help them, and if you listen to them for too long, you’ll pick up the cognitive hazard as well. Like a cold. Only thing to do is quarantine and isolate the infected until they can be humanely put to rest. It’s IRL SCPs
Its not about empathy. Its one thing to be indifferent. I am indifferent. I didnt like him, I thought his way of debating was disingenuous. Not giving a shit that he died, is where everyone should be who didnt like him. This glee, this joy, this is not normal. This is sign that a lot of people have been radicalised by their echo chambers.
And worse, now they are calling for others to be murdered. People like JK Rowling. Theres fucking crimes being committed everywhere, all under the guise of “they are nazis!”. The exact same shit Putin said to justify his attack on Ukraine. Theres just something so wrong in peoples heads now. Social media has fucked a lot of people brains.
Charlie Kirk died while doing what he loved:
Being a horrible horrible person, and a blight on humanity.
He died in the midst of what he loved: a school shooting.
I guess he was the violent gun death he hoped for to keep the 2A.
Gotta be high on the list of most ironic deaths of 2025.

And then people post shit like this here: "Russian and Chinese Bots Fueling Online ‘Violence’ After Charlie Kirk Shooting
As if it’s not ‘normal’ people not giving a fuck about some hate spreading dead nazi.
I think those bots are also on Charlie’s side, like pushing an antileft agenda, because they want us to have a civil war to damage our country.
I’m surprised we didn’t get a condolence tweet from Putin too.
