Reminder that Charlie Kirk was an extremist, who wanted to “remove” (read: genocide) people he didn’t like.

    I don’t care, I don’t give a fuck about these horrible people.

    I’ll never out awful them, and they’ll never grow enough feelings to introspect.

    I don’t want them doing this to others, even though I know they would and do.

      That kind of is the actual Ubermensch mentality, I guess. I respect that morality but I also know what they’d do to you for the crime of just being a gentle person.

        Doing this kind of baseless shit doesn’t bring me joy or anything. I don’t see the point. These people have no sense of decency or irony, and they’ll never see or acknowledge they’re wrong until they face real consequences.

        Actual consequences for nazis racists and bigots I’m all in favour of.

          The point would probably be everyone’s probably cut out for actually living in a gentle and egalitarian world. We’d just bring our baggage into it and ruin it for everyone else. There probably was a time where I was but I got it beat out of me and now I just find dudes fortnite dancing at the dead Nazi’s wife irreconcilably funny. But it’s more because actual in this current zeitgeist they’re so far beyond the reach of any actual consequences.

          I can’t reconcile that situation with my desire to live in a world where we don’t fuck with people. And I don’t really think holding back and showing them kindness prompts the various Kirks of the world to look at anyone differently. It never protected me anyway.

      The golden rule just doesn’t work with fascists. The sooner people learn this, the sooner we’ll be able to kill this ideology of hate.

      You should give a fuck. He mocks kids who are in demographics where they may kill themselves because of people like him. But he does it on stage. With sponsors.
