Did Fox News just call for the assassination of the president? Sure sounds like they did!

Of course, we all know they take "mentally-ill" to mean "trans people".

Speaking of mentally ill, someone just shot Charlie Kirk (yes, that one), and it appears he may not survive 🥳

Geez... when I woke up this morning I sure wasn't expecting this day to end on such a high note.

Yeah that's normal for real people with honest opinions.

I'm certain thousands of people got permabanned yesterday afternoon.

When good people turn into violent fascists, they're not good people anymore.

Paradox of tolerance. Fascists want to kill you, your family, and/or your friends, so what’s the defence?

You think an appropriate use of force is to shoot someone in the throat while they are peacefully speaking to children, because of words they have said. You're fucked in the head. If a fascist reaches for a gun, okay, shoot him first. That's not what happened here.

You're looking for an excuse for something that is inexcusable. Why? I can condemn everything Charlie ever did or said, but you are too ignorant and cowardly to condemn an actual political assassin. You think whoever did this is on your side, just because the person they murdered is someone that you dislike. As if that makes him any different than any other murderer who ever lived.

I am so disgusted with the children of this website who have never faced tragedy, never helped someone put their life together after violence, and have no idea what it actually means to live with violence.

I don’t know what the solution is, but that’s a lot of words you just put in my mouth.

“Honest debate” is not what he engaged in, and apparently neither do you. He promoted an ideology that rips honest people from trying to live a peaceful life and shoves them in to camps.

The violence has already started.

I didn’t shoot him, nor would I have, but I would shoot someone threatening my friends or family. He himself said that a few deaths are a price worth paying to keep the second amendment. This is what he wanted, so do I care that someone removed this fascist? Nope. 🤷‍♂️

So I ask you again, what’s the solution?

You would have shot him if you could have. I would have too, but the likelihood of either of us Canadians being at a speaking event of his with a gun in our hand is next to nil.

But if we did...

I didn’t shoot him, nor would I have, but I would shoot someone threatening my friends or family.

I mean, if someone threatens your family in a direct way (not just by discussing the decisions / laws of a country that anyway would have to be agreed upon by the people, or at least their representatives) then that's not political violence.

He himself said that a few deaths are a price worth paying to keep the second amendment. This is what he wanted, so do I care that someone removed this fascist?

I'm far from being pro-guns.. I'm happy my country does not have such amendments... but did he really say he does not care? ...many people die everyday in car accidents (the top leading cause of death of people 5 to 29 years old).. I don't even have a car myself.. but I can understand how many could care about those deaths and at the same time argue that the laws regulating who can have a car should not be as strict as I would want them to be.

I know, a gun is a different beast (I already said I'm against guns).. but my point is that it does not seem incompatible to defend the existence of something while at the same time being unhappy about it when misused.

peacefully

Preaching extermination. Hitler did not become peaceful after he took power just because he stopped pulling the trigger himself.

Svum like kirk have a body count. Obfuscated, but they do. AFAB people who die with bloody coathangers in their hands. Children who kill themselves because daddy wont stop raping them and being not-his-property is so far off. Queer kids who get beaten raped and thrown out and kill themselves-or try to live with no support and just don't make it. Children who die panicked on the inside of a police cordon as a shooter hunts them through what used to be their school and the survivors who are forced to go back there and can't pretend everything's fine.

You act like we should use the great power of words, like the pen is mightier than the sword-but it was just talking; that's so unfair to kill it. You'll respond with some bad faith bullshit that ignores his effect on the culture and institutionalized acceptance and long history of being an intractable fanatic totally devoid of compassion, one who specifically said some killings are an acceptable cost of the things it believed in.

Fuck this disingenuous respectability bullshit. I have scars from this shit. Ugly ones that effect how i dress and move. I have had my world taken from me multiple times over because of this shit. This comment you made is violence. It is the philosophical and logistical cover for the death camp i will die in as much as an ammunition factory or a military training facility or a bioweapons research lab.

I'd love to live in a world where nobody has to kill anybody, but the fascists have unilaterally chosen otherwise. We're in triage here. I don't know if this was the optimal decision, but it was an attempt to reduce harm with an ounce of prevention keeping it from turning more young people into fascists, and nobody who dismays at the sight of visible bones of someone who can still talk thinks otherwise. If you're genuinely comitted to nonviolence; delete these violent comments, violent against the weak and protective of those who would victimize them, and get the fucking nazi cocks out of your throat before trying to speak in the future.

Or maybe you are a lying nazi piece of shit. In which case; follow your fucking leader.

Now that they caught him and he turned out to be MAGA am I free to say that I don’t care that a dude that denounced empathy and said gun deaths are a price worth paying for the 2A died?

I am not so stupid that I have been inside your borders since your war mongering government "special renditioned" and tortured my countrymen (and your supposed allies) more than 20 years ago. I'm shocked that it's taken this long for my neighbours to all get on board with me. Your country is a pariah and this is exactly fucking why. It's not because of your president, it's because of Americans.

Funnily enough, celebrating political violence has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a fascist, you know what does though? Hating people simply because of their nationality, that's very fascistic.

What do you think fascism is, dear?

Because im pretty sure none of the common understandings if that word are how you're using it. Unless youre lying.

If you think a soldier celebrates violence, you don't fucking know any soldiers who saw violence. They are celebrating the end of violence. Violent dumbass.

Who's the violent dumbass? Your buddies the groypers are part of the right. Or are you rejecting Republican values now?

Lol. Yet when it's on Democrats, the right cheers and memes.

Fuck out of here along with your kink neck nationalist friend.

The right are nothing but low testosterone snow flakes.

No, it's just not shitlib.

Which is not to say we're blameless; tolerating his violence was faschy. None of us killed him. I assume. Makes us all guilty.

Oh no! Mentally ill news hosts admitting they wanna be euthanized! What a shock!

Who could have seen this coming? /s

he actually didn’t say that, he said “involuntary lethal injections” for homeless people that refuse services….
btw, “services” for homeless people are fucking horrible in most places

The Venn diagram for mentally ill criminals and conservative media hosts is a circle.

A friend's fiance was murdered by a mentally ill guy. Pretty sure the killer wasn't a media host of any affiliation or it would have been bigger news on opposing programs.

My condolences for yours and their loss. I'm sick right now and wrote my comment without a fully functional brain.

You mean a pair of concentric circles. You might not have fucked up the joke, but you fucked up the diagram, which is worse.

lemmy.world

Omg, thank you! I'm sick right now and couldn't come up with the word "concentric." I didn't wanna say "a circle inside another circle."

ETA: I'm not gonna edit my comment, but I am gonna downvote it now.

Why?

I mean, oh thank goodness. Anything but a bunch of muscular men and women manhandling and humiliating me! I hope they don't wear leather or latex and that they aren't into biting! Nooooooo......

One circle means that the two sets are identical. They are not identical. One is a superset of the other. I get that mistakes are often funny in a slapstick, keystone kops kind of way, but I don't think that is a mistake made for the humourous value, my dude.

These people are idiots. Fuck that guy and he should get the punishment he preaches. Do onto others as you would have done onto you.

You reached the end
