Finally a good guy with a gun
I get the attempt at dark humor but honestly, damn, for me, that’s a no.
This is just my perspective, and I never wish harm or suffering on another living being, but if what/who you are and advocate for causes these things and you’re too stupid or bribed to see it and continue being you… Then, for the greater good, good riddance

Don’t get me wrong, he got what he advocated for, I’m certainly not crying or really feeling anything about his death but huh, I guess dude FAFO’ed. I just don’t find the “good guy with a gun” comment appropriate here that’s all even if a small sliver of me goes “yeah, kinda, yeah” because more than likely that guy is very much not a good guy, probably very mentally ill.

Just my thoughts.

I completely understand, and I actually wish that I could share your perspective. Unfortunately for my “empathy for all” perspective, I couldn’t help but smile when I read that he got shot. Because my mind directly went to the “oh, this is gonna alleviate so much suffering” POV

“oh, this is gonna alleviate so much suffering”

That’s not how these things usually go. Quite the opposite.

Any politician that completely supports Trump is fair game at this point. Things will not return to normal by talking. If you dont wanna live in a dictatorship wake the fuck up. If you live in the US (i luckily dont) then learn how to use a gun, because its gonna get much much worse than the way it is right now.
They’re not really using humour. Americans are actually this fucked up. Have mercy.

I have mercy for those that aren’t actively trying to harm and take advantage of those worse off than themselves.

The fascist and their enablers can eat a bullet so we can have a better tomorrow.

I mean, have mercy on Americans. Spare me the tough talk, I’m not impressed.

I’ve now heard these things in reference to Americans from non-americans:

  • Why aren’t you doing something about the rising fascist republicans?
  • And now:

  • Americans are fucked up for doing something against a prominent fascist government supporter
  • I’m not sure which you want anymore.

    There’s more than one person outside of America.
