RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

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

Of course it did, the world is better than it was before it.

My reaction was just: "it sucks to suck".

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Nice. Let's not lose focus on getting those Epstein files.

Watched it and I'm happy too.

Like watching Hitler get shot would be, IMO.

I was immediately worried about the consequences from the right to feel any joy about what happened.

This question (or its answers) are probably not fine by instance-rules, but either way:
Does anybody have a link to the uncensored video? (PM is fine too)

I don't think you should be feeling some of the utter glee that I'm seeing some people espouse. You can find it funny, you can feel indifferent, even a little glad that such a dickhead isn't in the world anymore, but some of the stuff that people are saying on social media (using their full name and photo like an idiot) is a little disconcerting. I don't think it's healthy.

I couldn't give a shit about Kirk personally or his family, but I've seen friends turn to extreme levels of sadistic joy, watching the video again and again, and trying to get me to watch it, pretending to have a party about it.

...I dunno, that doesn't seem like a mentally healthy thing to be doing.

The president is a pedophile. No one in America is mentally healthy any longer.

I can never actually rejoice in it. I avoided the video and my wife sprung it on me and like other things like this I berated her (she knows I don't like reality gore and prefer printed news). I made comments because its a bit hard not to with mister a few killings here and there are the price you pay for gun freedom.
