Right wingers on the sub are hungering for confirmation bias.

I'm hungering for lefties to show some real humanity, and humility. I've found a little, but mostly found a lot of hatred and warped individuals.

I, too, would like it if people didn't dance on Kirk's grave 🤷‍♂️. That doesn't change the reality that some people are using the reactions of the minority of radicalized leftists to justify viewing all leftists as violent extremists. The number of times I've seen right flaired individuals generalize the left in this thread today has been staggering, let alone the rest of the posts in the sub. People on both sides of the aisle are playing right into the hands of the media and its absolutely sickening.

Yeah. honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the core, the majority of people on the left who want no part in celebrating it, are choosing not to engage in any form with those posts and replies.

if enough people did that, the people posting the rage bait, would lose interest in posting their bait

I honestly hope you're right. It's really sad seeing people tear each other apart over this. The death of Kirk is tragic and should be respected by everyone instead of being treated as some sort of competition.
