I keep reading people complaining about how people are taking these quotes out of context.
So went to the source, and I see them in context.

They are actually worse in context.

My dad was team horse de-wormer back in covid. Don't talk to him much.

Mom now says the he was a christian and he did everything right.

Guess sometimes parents can suck too

I had someone try to tell me I was stooping to his level with my dark humor memes.

I told them, I can't do that because I'm not 6ft under.

He had shitty opinions, we know. I won't follow them. I will have empathy and I will not celebrate his death. Still, I think the world's population improved with one less hateful person around.

Ding dong the witch is dead? It's hardly unusual to celebrate deaths of some public figures. Especially ones that are disliked by large numbers of people.

I keep seeing this photo of Charlie Kirk and I keep thinking "There's no way that's Charlie Kirk".

Here’s the frustration and why this should not be celebrated:

Charlie Kirk spent years dehumanizing people, making lives measurably worse, and profiting from hatred. The cosmic irony of him being shot while calling trans people dangerous and minimizing gun violence feels like the universe delivering a punchline he wrote himself. There’s a cathartic release in seeing someone who seemed untouchable suddenly silenced by the very violence he dismissed.

But that catharsis is blinding, vile, and destructive. Every celebration post, every "rest in piss" meme, every "fucked around and found out" joke is already being screenshot and weaponized. The worst people imaginable, those eager to exploit violence, are being handed exactly what they want: supposed proof that “they were right,” justification for crackdowns, and, most dangerously, a martyr whose blood sanctifies every awful thing he stood for.

Celebration may feel like a dunk on fascism, but in reality it accelerates it. It may feel like strength, but it exposes a movement so strategically bankrupt that it mistakes emotional satisfaction for political victory. Kirk alive was one influencer among many; Kirk dead is a rallying cry that will outlive us all.

The rage at what he represented is justified. But celebrating his death guarantees those very ideas will flourish. American democracy is dying, and a gravedigger falling into the hole is no victory when it only deepens the grave.

His ideas needed to be defeated. Instead, they’ve been immortalized.

trump is honoring him with a military procession, to distract from epstein. people said he was killed over, because he was pining for epstein files to be released. Kirk did more harm than good, but MSMS seems to try to sanewash him.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

No really, if he was a nicer guy this probably wouldn't have happened.

I thought there were no good Nazis, but he just proved me wrong.

His last words

He was asked how many shooters were trans in the last 10 years and replied "Too many"

He was corrected, the number is 5.

He was then asked how many shootings happened in these years (there were 5700)

He asked back: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" and got shot

I don't give a shit about Charlie Kirk, rest in piss, but my celebration is mildly stunted by the fact that this is a dangerous thing to normalize and this is a massive notch in that direction given how huge of a public figure he was and the nature of his assassination being so public.

Of course, the right is largely responsible for that normalization, and Charlie Kirk's death is actually on people like Charlie Kirk's very hands. However, for me its just the consequences and the dark future that this seems to push us further into.

Hopefully the right fails to capitalize on his death effectively and we move onto largely forgetting about the piece of shit.

I remember every single time someone they didn't like died. They would rejoice in the most vile manner imaginable. Fuck them.

I am betting that Kirk's killer was a fellow conservative who found him too soft and not hard right enough.

Or... maybe it was the same guy who killed Brian Thompson... because Luigi is innocent.

I firmly believe that there are people who make the world better by dying.

OK, honestly I’m not going to celebrate a murder. But nothing can stop me from appreciating the heck out of the irony.

Yep. I've already said this like three times on other platforms: it's ok to be happy about this. He gave you permission. Twice, actually. The "it's worth sacrificing a person every now and then if it means we get to have guns" and this empathy thing.

This is maybe the only time it's ok to be happy someone died.

I'm laughing at the song choices being posted on the music community.

I hate how some are trying to spin this as "he was killed just for having different opinions" like no, he didn't just have "different opinions" that's grossly oversimplifying things, he advocated for the genocide in Gaza, said kids being shot in school is "worth it" because "god given rights" (which version of the Bible had assault rifles in it?) ridiculed disabled people in his circles, and said if his 9 year old daughter got raped he wouldn't allow her to have an abortion

All while in a position of authority and power with influence over a significant portion of people. How anyone can sympathise for him I don't know

Not wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest and all and arguing against gun control.

He was asking to be shot...

/s obvsly ffs
