Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

It's because they believe the first amendment only applies to them and them alone.

Wait.. "you hurt my feelings... so, because of your hate speech i am glad you were offed"

is this normalized?!

I'm not glad he was offed, it sets a very dangerous precedent, but I'm not shedding a tear

If conservatives didn't have double standards, then they wouldn't have any at all

It's, like, really weird that for most of human history we were surrounded by death on a daily basis, and then suddenly death turned into a sacred thing we hide from kids and are always respectful about and stuff. Like, Achilles was a hero because he was the best at killing people and we gathered in circles and told stories about him killing people. And now we have to say unalive instead and hate anyone who kills people.
