I am not disagreeing with you about them being better off without the dude. I just made the case for being in favor of the best possible result, yknow, where there is no punishment based on kinship. I don't see how anyone profits from adhering to any of kirks ideas.
Who is punishing the kids?
They're only part of the discourse because people who "feel bad for them" keep dragging them into it. The best thing anyone can do for them is to stop bringing them up. They're completely irrelevant the monstrous things that Charlie Kirk was doing.
Deciding that kids should be exposed to such violence is decidedly punishing them.
I agree they shouldn't be brought up, but they were.
So your gripe is with Charlie Kirk who wanted exactly that, not me. He wanted that exact world and died in that exact way BECAUSE OF HIS BELIEFS. He was the one punishing his kids, not us.
OF COURSE my gripe is with charlie kirk. My point is, i don't wish ill unto humams that haven't done anything noteworthy.
Edit: One of my MANY gripes with these fascist assholes is that they wish ill on a bunch of people that have done nothing to anyone (which is their whole thing, i know).
See, you're twisting my words. I never wished ill will on his children. I said they're better off and you keep trying to say I wanted his kids to suffer. Maybe learn some reading comprehension?
No, i don't. Do you think i am attacking you? I'm not. I was not looking for a fight here.
Writing is missing some nuances of talking in person, happens sometimes.
You keep going on and on about how I'm saying they deserved to see this, which I never said. I said they were better off, a nuance perfectly understood in text. You keep rallying against a position I never took.
Then this whole thread is about nothing. Neat. We are in agreement. I didn't intend to rail against anything you wrote. I do not think you did either.
