The strangest fucking thing about right wingers and Charlie Kirk is that somehow they think we are still in the "polite discussion" phase of this "culture war" they kicked off/invented.

It tells you how goddamn fucking comfortable they are and how few marginalized people are in their lives.

That is to say Charlie Kirk only *said* things apparently. And apparently saying things can't lead to very real violence that people experience.

He was *only* talking. He *only* made a Watchlist of professors to inform people about who had liberal viewpoints, and if those people got horribly harassed & threatened, that's not on him.

They are "only" words.

@artemis trump made a statement about the shooting blaming it on a culture of violence created by the left, specifically saying that by smearing him as a nazi they caused this violence to happen

so clearly they understand that something being 'just speech' can lead to killings, but they clearly only care when it suits them

they know exactly what they're doing
