The Nation, the oldest progressive newspaper in the United States: "Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning" - Lemmy.World

The people going “fuck yeah I love that he died from gun violence” are showing their hands. Just liberals with no real moral compass. The same ones that cheer for genocide Joe. Those are apparently the “extreme leftist” right now.

Meanwhile, the real leftist are just responding to people saying how “great” he was by asking one simple question.

Oh? What views of his did you like?

Because for every “free speech” answer there are 20 quotes from him to the contrary.

I feel like liberals get to excited when something like this happens and just turn into blue maga.

It’s really simple. All you have to do is ask simple non-aggressive questions. You don’t need to do anything more than that. Your coworker or normie friend is just repeating what they heard from the media. You can dismantle that calmly without saying he “got what he deserved!”.

Damn, troll. Daddy really upped your word quota for the day, eh?

Yeah. Trying to explain to people how to counter the narrative the right wingers are actively using to manufacture concent for state violence against anyone to the left of Reagan.

It shows me that the liberal idiots saying “I’m glad he’s dead. Woohoo! Let’s go!” Aren’t actually in the crosshairs of this fascist administration. The people actually out in the street with risk of getting arrested aren’t putting targets on our backs anymore than they already are.

Like, what is the troll? Saying that it’s better to literally just point to Kirk’s literal racist garbage instead of feeling “powerful” because he’s dead?
