    This man wasn’t Hitler. This man was an annoying loudmouth who at the end of the day has a wife and kids he comes home to. He did not deserve this; this will only divide us more and contribute to the cycle of violence.

      You’re right. He wasn’t Hitler. He was Julius Streicher.

      Charlie Kirk’s life ended on September 10, 2025 shot in the neck by an assassin’s bullet.

      Julius Streicher met his end on October 16, 1946, hanged from the neck in Nuremberg Prison.

          Seriously. The idea that they’re just words and they have no meaning is historically ignorant. We executed Nazi propagandists, even if they never killed anyone with their own hands. Inciting others to genocide is still a crime against humanity.

          Kirk was openly calling for the extermination of a group of people that represents the same portion of the US population as the Jews did in Germany prior to WW2. It is not all hyperbole to place Kirk’s death in its proper historical context. We literally executed people for doing what Kirk made his whole career doing.

      You make a reasonable argument, unfortunately these are unreasonable times. Think about it, were more or less already in a revolution right now, I’d deign to even say rebellion is over the next hill.

      Be ready.
