His death helped the world see who's far right. Very interesting
Kirk was a man full of hate. Why should I feel any obligation to send any love to him?
He was pro gun violence and anti empathy. It goes against everything he believed and stood for to send love. These jackasses pretending to care are just masturbating their own ego to make themselves come off as some paragon in divided times. Kirk died for what he believed in while doing what he loved. We should all be glad he did. Even those foolish enough to listen to him and support him should be able to see that.

Curious how he doesn't send love to the families of children killed in the school shooting that very same day. What did they mean by that? Logically it can't be he's just sending out good feelings because of a tragic situation otherwise he would have mentioned the school shooting, so that means that Coldplay must specifically endorse Charlie Kirk and his rhetoric. That's The Logical conclusion I draw.
oh my god, as someone who hated Coldplay with passion for a quarter century, I feel so vindicated. thank you.
Seriously, to think that for years I was wrong about why I hated fucking Coldplay. Only Coldplay could make me like Nickelback
Wow, let's not use this as an excuse to try normalizing Nickelback

Looks like the corporate rock fans are mad that their band is a corporate rock band
It's like how Jack Black had to pretend to be mad at Kyle bc he's in so many big budget movies.
I hated how he reacted to that and people were defending him. Over a joke. Black has done some dirty shit, but supposedly got so upset over that joke he cancelled a tour. Fuck him too. #teamkyle

And i think thats a good thing. You should be free to like whatever kind of music, even if its the worst garbage imaginable to my ears.
Does not mean you have to accept political shit-takes from the creators.
People in the back. 
On the face of it, I don't have an issue with saying this, as his family weren't the ones preaching hate. But choosing to single out this particular person's family rather than all the other recent shooting victims is a bad look.
Everyone grieves differently, but his wife literally turned around and used his corpse for Instagram content before he was even in the ground! Add it to the list of videos I wish I hadn’t watched this week
Plus that wonderful speech she gave about how her husbands death was a rallying cry to the right to take care of the libs, so, like fuck her too.
It's pretty much a given that anyone who would marry him must be an awful person.

I advocate that we start calling anyone calling for sympathy for this shit bag woke. See how quick it flips their script suddenly doing woke things.
They’re already doing cancel culture so let em be woke now too, fuck it

Why are Coldplay concerts suddenly this relevant?
Their new album, HotTakes, is wild
Go on...
All that goodwill(?) from the cheating CEO hilarity ruined by pandering to the cheer squad of some dickhead.
Sending love to his family? That sounds awfully like that New Age empathy shit, don't you know how much damage that causes?
Best I can do is sympathy, sending tots 'n pears.
Fuck Coldplay.
Wow, if I didn't have a reason to not like them before, I sure as hell do now.
I guess you don’t get to choose family, but not sure how this was a high priority for Chris Martin given everything else going on at the moment.

He’s such a tool
Hell no, Tool is awesome (as a band, i'm not so sure on their views).
He should be knowing first before making such statements pertaining to peace and coexistence. Especially if the subject matter happens to be an extremely vile personage with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
eww, he's normally chill, what happened
He kept getting richer
