Charlie Kirk was by no means extreme in his viewpoints, regardless of what is said about him from those on the left. For many of them, anyone moderately right wing is considered a hard core right wing extremist. So I do not think that they will be convinced that Charlie Kirk being killed will bring about an even further right wing figure. Because they are all Evil Fascist Nazi's in their eyes.

I know there were voices on the left that spoke out against him being killed and condemned anyone taking joy in his death, though we cannot know for sure whether or not this is geniune or simply performative. From a public eye standpoint, it makes sense to condemn violent extremism regardless of your personal feelings. And in a way, even if you are just putting on a performance, it does show you to be truly different from those who publicly celebrate his death.

The reactions of many on the left in various social media platforms is no surprise either. There were plenty of gleeful posts that are glad he is dead, though it comes off as far more spiteful since he was murdered at a very young age rather than someone who died old and with health problems, such as Rush Limbaugh.

I had a very cautious opinion Charlie Kirk. My impression of him being such a prominent figure on the right was the equivalent of the high school quarterback who just so happened to be the son of the team's coach. That is, I am not entirely sure that he got such prominence based solely on his merits. And it might be the case that the son of the coach shows some competency and plays well as the quarterback. And I could say the same about Charlie Kirk, as he has remained influential on the right.

@Lorgar @VeganMGTOW @Tfmonkey I concur. Just because you can identify a problem does not mean you are able to properly determine a solution. His labeling of tribal societies helping others who were injured as "universal healthcare" shows that he really is not thinking through what it would mean if he were to have a society that was primitive (as he said in point 3). And the people in helping that man still had to work, thus not supporting his point of "you don't need to work to live."

@grey @deprecated_ii many people have pointed out that giving a student something as consequential as a Time Turner just so she can do all her classes is an incredibly stupid idea. The more obvious solution would have been just to tell Hermione that she has to drop some classes.

@caekislove I figured this was the case when state propaganda NPR states "crime is down in Chicago/Baltimore." Just because it is not reported does not mean it is not happening. And knowing what we do about corruption on so many levels of government and incentives to not record crimes, I do not trust these sorts of stats being proclaimed.

@StarProphet Another good point. They do indeed get the approval of the state to riot. But that is not universally true, as many lefties found out that the state no longer gave them their blessing when they protested against Israel. Might have been a first for many to get treated this way.

Either way, they did not have anything to lose.

The reason why white people are not rioting over the death of the Ukranian woman killed by a black man is due to the fact the white people who are angry about this have something to lose if they riot. The whites who engaged in riots for leftist causes did so because they had nothing to lose themselves, just like many blacks who riot have nothing to lose.

Going all in with just 10 dollars is a lot different than going all in with 10,000 dollars.

While I find certain aspects of accessing content such as games, shows and movies to be an annoyance when they are exclusively locked to different platforms, I do not agree with the complainers who seem to think that it is a violation of their rights that they have to pay for additional platforms in order to have access to everything.

Last I checked, video games, movies, and shows are not necessities. Complaints about this being some moral wrong shows that you have it pretty easy in life.

@CobaltSasquatch >insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability

I am mad about this whether or not this is a truthful statement. If it is true, it sounds like the laws are shit. If it is false, this asshole just wants to insist that it is true in a poor attempt to avoid getting called out.

@Justicar I would not be surprised if it did. Though I don't think the uterus is exclusively damaged, and I recall that many marathon runners (men and women) get major health consequences after completing a marathon.
