Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

This young evangelical guy is one of the most popular man in the US. Many americans respect him.

He said Joe Biden was an illegitimate President because Trump won the 2020 US Presidential Election.

He had no issue when JD Vance falsely accused Haitians in Ohio of eating cats and dogs. It didn't bother him at all that these people received death threats.

He praised Trump for sending people with no criminal records to prison in South America (1) (2)

He said the US had wonderful gun laws that shouldn't change. He thinks Canadian gun laws are silly.

I don't condone violence or murder. But I'm not going to cry either. Sorry.

Kirk said gun deaths were worth it to keep the 2nd Amendment. I'm sure he'd include his own in that opinion.

[–] orioler25@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He was about to say that again before he was cut off.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well he did have "Change my mind" all over that event. Maybe he changed his mind on that, but we'll never know.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

All we can say is that someone gave it a shot.

The 2nd amendment was made for kings but fascists work, Kirk died doing what he loved.

I like to judge people by their own standards, making sure to apply their own ideology to them. This is why I'm perfectly fine with fascists getting shot, or conservatives going hungry or without medical care, or bullies being beat up, or bigots being ostracized. It's all tragic... But it's what they wish for, so I'll celebrate for them.

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Dude literally said some collateral damage is a-ok in defense of the second amendment. Remember him for who he was and knowing he was perfectly fine with other people going out this way, so why is he any different? He reaped what he sowed.

And I'm seeing a bit of "well we shouldnt celebrate this" type bs. No. Fuck that, full stop. If you're such a miserable sack of shit that people celebrate your death, then be a better person when you're alive if you don't want that. You don't get to ignore human decency your entire life and then cower behind it in death.

i'll save my sympathy for the victims of evergreen high school who also had a school shooting but who won't get covered because the media will be swooning over this ghoul.

I will not celebrate violence. I will not celebrate murder. It's wrong.

I'm sure he loved his wife. He loved his church. He loved his kids.

But this very same man had no issue with throwing men with no criminal records in horrific south american prisons. Men who simply wanted a better life.

He had no issue with spreading lies about election results, even if the result was violence.

He had no issue with lying about legal Haitian migrants eating dogs and cats, even if they received countless death threats.

He believed Canadian gun laws were silly, any angry man should be able to easily purchase guns. He didn't respect Canadians. He laughed at them.

I don't want to sound like a horrible monster, but it's hard for me to feel empathy.

“I can’t stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics,” - Charlie Kirk

That cannot be a real quote Jesus Christ

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

There’s a concerted conservative effort to make empathy a bad thing. Research it. There are many conservative pundits trying to portray empathy as bad.

I will in fact celebrate his death. We got here because we allowed tolerance to go WAY too far. Shame needs to make a comeback and if you actively advocate against other people being treated with basic decency, then your death deserves no decency itself. Respect is a two way street - a social contract. You break that and no one owes you shit.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yup, cheers!!

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

I mean, I feel sorry for his kids. They didn't choose this life. But I would have felt sorry for them even if he didn't get shot.

He chose his lifestyle. He upset a lot of people and actively defended gun violence. And that did him in.

So it goes.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I celebrate because he tried to erase me and i outlived him.

He loved his church

He found his church to be a convenient venue for his hate speech.

I'd never heard of this guy until yesterday. He is some social media influencer that believed in the 2nd amendment. Apparently MAGA people are losing their shit, Fox News commentator claims this is an act of war.

Social media bubbles are wild.

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And they want a moment of silence for him in europe, the other side of the ocean to them. Go suck your dusty mums, how about that? Moment of silence for your political crony barely any1 even knows? You've got a cheek.

"He had a wife and kids" - so do 30% of the civilian gazan casualties, the other 70% are the wives and kids themselves in Gaza, all deaths he condoned, so do I care about his death? No. Live by it die by it 🤷‍♂️

Do not let those with a monopoly on violence tell you that violence is wrong.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I told my buddy. That intersecting Charlie’s wishes and provide no empathy to the situation. It would be weak to care about his death. Thanks Charlie. And my buddy had a meltdown.

Reddit is going to ban a lot of people today. Some of them might end up signing up for Lemmy.

Just you wait. They will seize this opportunity to oppress more Americans.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

No need to wait, right wingers are already saying left wing groups need to be investigated for their connections to the shooter even though they don't even know who shot him.

Trump is going to use this as excuse to send troops to every state. Who knows maybe Trump called the hit, he’s know for throwing his friends under the bus literally.

[–] GodofLies@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think everyone has the wrong take on this. If this happened to someone on the left, most people will just twiddles their thumbs on their keyboards and goes on about their lives.

What people need to realize is his actions and what he has promoted has consequences.

I'll leave it at that.

He was a racist piece of propagandist shit. One less ~~mouf~~ head to feed on this lonely rock, I say.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

He condoned political violence so he was asking for it really

[–] Fives@discuss.online 8 points 1 week ago

I’m sure that as he fell over dead, his last thought was “God bless the 2nd Amendment!”

He died as he believed. Good for him.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

It's an absolutely terrible thing to happen, that Charlie Kirk had said was necessary to an extent. I will hold our restrictive Canadian gun laws dearly.

And while I am against gun violence of any sort, I will be a lot more upset about and sympathetic for the victims of today's American school shooting at Evergreen High.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Due to political figures like him, tens of thousands of Americans are shot and killed each year

I feel sorry for the innocents killed, not the people that helped promote gun violence

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

While you are busy signaling how honorable you are, not only are they condoning it, but they are carrying it out on anything remotely hispanic or that just suits their political intentions at the moment. 11 dead on a boat, torture by ICE and deaths hidden by deportations to "shit-hole countries", financing and enabling a modern day genocide. While you are busy white knighting your ideals, they will be busy coming up with real or fake reasons to condone it against you.

Zero tolerance of intolerance. Revolutions are led by people like Luigi, not people justifying fractional improvements in a system decaying by strides. The guy should not have died, but society should not be in the state they have rushed it into. There are no perfect solutions in imperfect systems. I did not give a shit about the guy, but I certainly won't begin to give a shit about him now.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so we can have the second amendment to protect our other god-given rights."

"We cannot allow them [the shooting victim/s] to emotionally hijack the narrative."

He died by a shot that could only have been made by a high powered rifle. Words to live for, words to die for. While not respected, they are poetic.

Don't feel bad for Charlie! He's graduated! He's now a good Nazi.
