    I find the demands from the far right to have empathy for Kirk so distasteful… I see them dive into their favourite victim role so quickly and all the woe is us and the “See, the left is dangerous” stupid rhetoric.

    Kirk himself said that empathy was destroying the world, why do we need to feel empathy for that asshole now?! Like always the right only cares when it affects them…

    I’m soooo tired about the nonsense from the far right.

    This attack is only going to galvanize the far right, so I sure hope that the shooter turns out to be right wing. If he’s left wing, I fear for the lives of many of us. The nazis are trigger happy.

      Come on dude, there is no left and right. It’s just us. Kirk had opinions that many of us didn’t like, that’s fine. We can all still muster some empathy for the guy and his family. No one deserves to get get shot for expressing opinions, even bad one opinions.

        Fuck you… “Can’t we all just get along?” NO and it was people like Kirk that caused that. He hated people like me and my friends. Why should we on the left offer them the courtesy that they never offer to us?!

        Whenever a leftist was a victim of violence they crowed victory and celebrated.

      its jokes and harassment when the left gets attacked, shot or assassinated, with not a single cry for decorum, or empathy, or anything good out of the right. Just sarcastic smirks and disgusting comments.

      but as soon as a right winger gets shot, Suddenly the country is supposed to join hands in Kumbaya and offer immense empathy and support for the people who spread hate, encourage violence, and do nothing but victimize themselves by stirring up the hate and violencepot with no consideration that it’ll be their own faces it blows up in…all while the right wing hate-o-sphere is on full diatribe about blaming it all on the lefts “violent rhetoric and actions”

          Right wing propagandists have been hard at work trying to exploit yesterdays shooting to push the whole leftists/liberals/wokes are violent/fascist/evilbad narratives extra hard.

            In that case, yes, for once, I take his advice. He advocated for death for people like me (queer), I won’t shed a single tear for him.

              You take his advice. Empathy is destroying the world and you abandon it.

              abandon all hope ye who enter here

            If anyone deserves zero empathy, it’s the scumbags arguing against empathy in favor of hatred.

            I don’t need this creep to teach me that.

              if?

              i’m no fan of charlie kirk, but i was always of the opinion that his “don’t empathize” was actually a dogwhistle for “be open and explicit about your hatred, it’s okay.” are you sure that isn’t what you’re doing?
