    Well it’s definitely not “new-age”, but apparently the worth “empathy” only entered the English language in 1908.

    So I’m gonna pretend like it’s 1776 like he always wanted me to do and not have empathy for him 😆

    We wouldn’t happen to have the link/recording/article that this came from for context, would we? Not to sound like a “SOURCE?!?!?” troll, but I’m curious.

    We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

    edit to the replies - Holy hell this place has turned into reddit on a bad.

        You didn’t read my post did you? The man was a shit. I said as much. The point I’m making is why give him or his bat shit crazy ideas more air time now he IS dead. Also, have some dignity.

      If this is such a bad thing, then why did Ben Shapiro cancel his speaking arrangements today? All these grifters are freaking out because they never expected to face a consequence for anything they said or did

        In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn’t help the cause.

          Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.

          You’re the kind of person that will walk right into the gas chambers without a peep, and make it easy for the Nazis. They’re just doing their job, after all.

          A lot of us aren’t taking it so easy. We’re going down swinging.

          I’ll gleefully keep talking about a nazi getting his throat blown out by a 5.56 while he was actively blaming LGBT and black people for school shootings, deal with it. You want me stop, call up Trump and have him send ICE to my door.

      The only reliable way to deal with fascists is to kill them. They will keep killing us until we force them to stop.

      Kirk might not have been out there shooting people in the street like a common beat cop, but he built a career out of stochastic terrorism. He suffered the same fate that he advocated for innocent people.

    Someone’s told me elsewhere that these quotes have been taken out of context. I said he should have been more careful with words.
