The comments are unhinged. "Cut off funding to the EU!"
How utterly and hilariously disconnected from reality.

That's the Forbes Breaking News channel. That is a serious insane channel that probably attracts a lot of insane people.
Why would the EU, a completely separate sovereign group of nations, mourn for some American christofascist? I'd be supremely disappointed in them if they did.
Instead of wondering why Kirk matters, we should be asking who put this notion forward. Kirk must have inspired some love from christo-fascists in Europe. Maybe we should be looking at them.
WTF did he contribute to Europe to even consider this?
He (indirectly) contributed that Europe will possibly have another war after 80 years of peace.
Other than making nazism globally mainstream again?
I took a look at the transcript, and surprisingly it did a good job spitting out the German (I think?). Ran it through google translate because I don't speak the language.
Anyways, the woman speaking is saying that the request for a moment of silence was already rejected by the President so that's why she keeps going.
Dude was trying to ignore the ruling that was already issued on his request and go outside of the procedural rules.
Yeah this is the one thing pissing me off about how I'm seeing it summarized on the Other Site and elsewhere. There's a lot of outlets making it look like there was scheduled to be a minute of silence, but a bunch of obnoxious disrespectful leftists kept talking during it.
Christ YouTube is such a sewer. Its like the commenters all have channels now.
It cannot be overstated how pathetic YouTube commenters are.
Noted TrickDacy... Noted
I have no idea what this reference is
The many comments under that video that say "noted EU... Noted". I don't know about you, but I'm scared.
I still don't get it...
Noted TrickDacey... Noted
The reference is that many, as you say, pathetic YouTube commenters write pathetic stuff like "noted EU⦠noted" in an attempt to say how mad they are and that this will have bad consequences. Because you ridiculed such commenters, @Naich@lemmings.world referenced it but using your nickname instead of EU.
There are a lot of suspiciously similar comments on that video
the EU is the new Soviet Union
I'd say the shoe fits the US better, considering how close we are to collapse.
I farted loudly for around 40 seconds (with occasional pauses) while reading about his death on lemmy; does that count?
Respects paid.
Gods. That level of bloating sounds really uncomfortable. Are you alright?
Yeah, the intestinal flora had some unusual reaction to something I ate yesterday, I suppose.
Hope youβll recover swiftly.
Unfortunately no ot doesn't count but still very impressive.
Kirk in and of himself doesn't justify any of the attention that this is getting.
Holy fuck the people in the comments are literally mentally deficient.
I have seen a few heroes clap back really well at the republican degenerates, but youβre not lying. Irreparably mentally fucked. Deport βem to North Korea.
One of the comments claims heβs a victim of hate crime like George Floyd, because there were βanti-fascist engravings on bulletsβ.
Stop the Earth, Iβm disembarking!

Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary called Mr. Kirk βa true defender of faith and freedom.β
The Europe of Sovereign Nations Group, a far-right political group, moved to nominate Mr. Kirk for the Sakharov Prize, a tribute for human rights work.
Europe is so fucked.
You do know that Hungary is NOT Europe?
It's a country in Europe run by a Putin supported dictator
Also, as you can see in the headline, or am suggested it and Europe said "No"
There are a lot of problems going on in Europe, this ain't one of them
Not Europe? So Patriots for Europe is not an European political alliance that in many ways tries to mirror MAGA? You say Putin personally I see Trumps America, The Heritage Foundation as a bigger threat
Well Hungary is fucked, and the Sovereign Nations Group is a bullshit populist right wing group that has <4% of the vote ... I'd say we're still all right, but you know how it is. Gotta vote against the Nazis
He is the one who said that empathy is for the weak.
Why does it always look like someone photoshopped his face to 50% size?
Aw man, it's just an administrative no. They can still request one.
