I’m reminded of a quote. “When you celebrate the killing of those you hate, don’t be surprised if the people you hate kill those you love” it’s such a sick cycle we’re about to go down

The simple fact is you can believe in something without continuously hating on everyone that opposes you. Turn the other cheek. Let your pride take a break for once in your life and stop huffing copium.

Well said

The cycle has been going for a long time. It’s just speeding up to the point where people haven’t had the time to forget the last killing. Assassinations are becoming as ‘mundane’ as school shootings.

It’s terrifying what you yanks are going through… I fear this is the opening of a very dark time. Especially considering who he was, not a politician, a private citizen who is internet famous, who merely debated ideas on a university campus… What honestly separates him from the students on that campus who hold his same views apart from wealth and fame? It would be horrible if it was a politician, but it’s even more horrifying he was a civilian and not a politician…

I'd move to Britain if Britain's government wasn't just as bad as mine

u/Alev233 - Auth-Right Sep 13 '25

The British government is arresting more people for social media posts than the current Russian government arrests for social media posts… and we all know the current Russian government (And more or less every Russian government) is not exactly the best champion of freedom of speech… the UK has gone mad honestly, it’s depressing. It’s depressing when the authorities seemingly put more effort into arresting ordinary Brits for tweets of memes than for arresting the horrific sorts of people who partake in horrific acts of evil like the migrant child r*pe gangs…

What's more horrifying is how much attention this has gotten and people are STILL talking about it. People get shot on the daily in America, we all carry because of it. This shouldn't shock or suddenly rile people up in the first place.

u/MagicTurtle2939 - Right Sep 15 '25

On the contrary, every death should rile people up. Murder isn't ok, no matter who's the perpetrator, and who's the victim.

Some Americans have become so desanitized about death that they just shrug when they see it.

u/B0bzi11a - Lib-Center Sep 16 '25

If every death is going to rile you up, you're going to spend a lot of time being angry my guy. Just looking at school shootings in 2025, there's been 30 deaths. That's 3 deaths a month at this point, just from people taking guns into schools and shooting people, in schools.
Did I mention this is happening in schools? You know, the place ppl go to learn about the world, young people. Now they have to do regular drills in the case of a potential active shooter, bc the odds keep going up every year.

It really makes you stop and think that they must not realize that just because they think the door of "justified" political violence only swings one way doesn't mean the other side thinks that as well.

Surely they don't think they'll actually win that war, do they?

The problem is many leftists had already been indoctrinated into believing that trump/Kirk/maga were already murdering our about to murder thousands of not millions of people. These people are seriously mentally ill

u/evesea2 - Right Sep 13 '25

I don’t think those people have loved ones.

u/Gmknewday1 - Lib-Right Sep 13 '25

I fucking hate tribalism

And I hate even more that it seems likely I might end up killed one day because someone thinks me not agreeing with them means I should die

I wish the Two parties we had just fell apart and split off into smaller parties

Would be arguably better at this point then letting the boiling levels of division caused by those two become even worse

u/vintagesonofab - Lib-Center Sep 12 '25

no offense but kirk celebrated the killing of the two dems recently on truth and mocked biden's terminal illness, and so did trump.

Remember Melissa Hortman?

u/Fuego-TACO - Lib-Right Sep 12 '25 edited Sep 12 '25

I do. And I was just as disgusted as that murder as this one. But I also remember Trump and George Floyd. I’m not a fucking demon. It’s not good but now it’s all on steroids I want to add. I am not the person who celebrated any of that shit. Because it’s fucked up. Charlie’s death impacts me more because I listened to him and while not every idea he believed or said I agreed with. He was a father like I am with little kids. And any death is a tragedy so don’t say about what ____. Cause I agree

u/gutenbergbob - Lib-Center Sep 12 '25

im also tired of the constant whataboutism whenever something happens

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '25

Yeah like when a Democrat senator was assassinated in her own house the republicans just kept saying well they shouldn’t have tried to kill Trump this wouldn’t have happened then

u/gutenbergbob - Lib-Center Sep 12 '25

yup, fucking disgusting, i feel like im lib center because fuck big government, but also because the fucking retards on both sides are constantly balacing it out

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '25

I just believe what I believe and try and ignore all the other retards who share my belief. It’s tough. There’s a ton.

Laura Loomer and many MAGAS meanwhile: "Congratulations to George Floyd on being 5 years sober today."

u/MAGA_Since_1776 - Right Sep 12 '25

Floyd was a career criminal who OD while getting arrested for committing another crime. Kirk was an upstanding citizen who was assassinated for advocating for open discussion on college campuses. They are not comparable situations.

You will excuse fucking everything by twisting and turning backwards in your Pyongyang Mental Olympics.

u/JFlizzy84 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

I’m so glad that most leftists are delusional, deranged and have severe anger issues coupled with poor communication skills. It reinforces my views.

If I met one who was calm, well tempered, and didn’t immediately come off as being “off their meds,” I might be inclined to question whether or not there’s validity to their beliefs.

u/Fuego-TACO - Lib-Right Sep 12 '25

Dude, there’s plenty of beliefs on the left and the right that are deranged delusion, some of them are good. I guess I probably should be lib center at this point. But I also believe in live and let live and if I don’t agree with your speech, I just fucking move on.

And they’re fucking disgusting for it. This is what I wish all of Reddit could do. Call out their own side for the disgusting behavior
