I’m gonna try and spend less time online. definitely has nothing to do with the existential dread I feel about the world

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.

But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Goodbye Charlie Kirk.

I have lots to say and I am convincing myself to say as little as possible, but I don't think a society that has been absolutely saturated in unavoidable looping videos of snuff films for a decade is one that can hold. Power will and has coalesced around those who best weaponize the snuff films.

It’s been five fucking hours.

I do think it’s interesting to see some leftists act like what happened today won’t make republicans worse at all. As if they can’t get any worse
Yall we should all know it can literally always get worse
Sure, they don’t need an excuse to take away rights, but an excuse sure does help make it easier

the rightwing loves to be like “this is the moment we become the nazi party”

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

this is going to create the worst political discourse we've ever seen and it wont even be close. aside from the fact that his children lost a father (even if hes a shitty one, idk), anyone celebrating this isnt considering how this is going to rile the right up even further and harm so mnay people.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I'm honestly terrified of what the right will use this as justification for. They're itching to engage in violence against their enemies and this will give them the excuse to do so. This is why political violence is never acceptable. It just descends into uncontrollable chaos and more violence.

Be very careful about you post right now.

I'll block anyone calling for violence.

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

this is far more tragic and important btw

Remember. Shut the fuck up.

This was always true before, but even more so now with a government that is just ITCHING to arrest anyone it can for anything.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

be very careful about what you post online

man I just don’t think anything that comes out of this is going to be good

Political Violence is crying over a podcaster while ignoring a school shooting.

I definitely trust that a referendum on a controversial issue would get +95%. That’s a thing that definitely happens

That’s a cool opinion

One more time, shout out to the very serious people who suggested that RFK had some really good points about public health. No way to have predicted how things would turn out, except to look at his past record and everything he said about vaccines.

Oh now that’s just mean spirited
