I love Carlin but many of the named were not saying that at all. Neither kennedy. Not malcom x, his whole thing was fight back, and for the record I agree.

I got to JFK and my mind went.... one of these things is not like the others. One of these thing doesnt belong!
JFK's mind also went
To be fair, a lot of shitty people get assassinated, too.
Not enough
Somehow the Charlie Kirk thing doesn't fit in there so well…
that was neck, not head
It's only an assassination if they attack the ass region, otherwise it's just sparkling slaughtering
no an assassination, or ass ass I nation, is a nation with only me and fine asses
That wasn't assassination. That was murder. To be an assassination the target needs to have significance.
The fact that people are still talking about him and his killing shows that he had significance. He held significance as a prominent right wing nut job and radicaliser. He held significance as a poster boy for the disingenuous “just asking questions” approach of stochastic terrorism. He holds significance as a so-called martyr of the MAGA cult. Just because he didn’t/doesn’t hold significance to you doesn’t mean he wasn’t/isn’t significant. I don’t like that it’s true, but it is.
Nah the media has been working overtime to try and make him significant but he's really just a meaningless footnote
There are exceptions. Sometimes the universe gets it right.
Wow. Idiots think idiotic things.
kirk wasn’t assassinated lol.
yeah that was gang violence.
You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot!
...
You know they murdered X and tried to blame it on Islam
We turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot!
What was the price on his head?!
God damn this guy was close to a prophet.
Most of this shit is pretty obvious. None of it is new. It's the same shit that's always happened throughout history and keeps repeating. People just don't fucking pay attention.
