If you were to have said this about Charlie Kirk, or inevitably Trump himself when it happens, you'd be treated like you had killed them yourself.

- bayarearefugee 7mo agoMany people literally lost their jobs for saying much kinder things about Kirk.
- plagiarist 7mo agoAnd for saying less kind things, but by directly quoting the deceased.
- Freedom2 7mo agoHN commenters were saying those quotes were taken out of context. I have no frame of reference, but is this not true?
- nickthegreek 7mo agoMost kirk’s comments context is quite evident. His final words for instance.
- plagiarist 7mo agoIf that were true, the response would have been, "no, you're a bit off," instead of apoplectic rage and trying to cancel the person quoting him. Let's not view any of this in isolation either. None of those accounts will say a single negative word about Donald's (most recent!) shockingly disrespectful thoughts for the deceased.
- mindslight 7mo agoThe fascists' only use high minded ideals as rallying cries to influence people who don't do the work to apply those ideals to the fascists' own actions - whether they're doing it deliberately as a team sport, or have mostly checked out of politics. For those in the currently-designated ingroup, the hypocrisy is the point.
