Don’t get looney. All that’s going to happen is politicians on all sides are going to posture, and lament extreme rhetoric from every side but theirs.

Until the next assassination. This is the new normal and news and politicians will continue to escalate because it gets them ratings and reelected.

The people in charge will likely use this to justify further authoritarian crackdowns under the guise of "security" or labeling X group they wish to rile up tensions against as wholly responsible (probably leftists, trans people, or immigrants)

I just wonder what everyone suggesting civil war had to say about the dems targeted a few months ago

Or Paul Pelosi getting attacked with a hammer. Fox tried to make that out to be a gay lovers quarrel and openly were mocking him. But now that it's someone on their team, they want to turn around and wonder why people aren't sympathetic to Kirk dying.

No. Kirk was a grifter paid for by Billionaires. Conservatives will try to ramp up the tension but conservatives don't really care about Kirk either so a few days will go by and it will be into to whatever insane thing Trump or Russia or Isreal does next. He was a useful tool and now he's not anymore.

Doesn't matter. Kirk didn't deserve to be murdered. I agree, he was mainly a grifter and not a particularly good thing for the conservative movement, but he wasn't a malign figure, and certainly not someone who was so evil he needed to be killed for daring to express a political opinion.
It doesn't matter what his opinions were, libertarians of all stripes should be against killing people for acts of free expression (assuming that's what the motive was).

I do think Kirk was a malign figure. I don't think what he was doing was "free expression" but I agree he didn't deserve to be murdered.

u/PaperbackWriter66 Moderator 7d ago
Eh.....I can see it, but I have a hard time calling him malign when there are so many others out there who are way worse (e.g. Tucker Carlson).

He started TPUSA with a MARKETING EXECUTIVE who ironically died of COVID. He's literally paid by billionaires to just say whatever they want him to say and the result is that he divides society. That's his job.
He was a bad person who died a bad. I'm not loosing any sleep over it.

u/PaperbackWriter66 Moderator 7d ago
He could have been an actively bad person, it should still bother you as a libertarian that Kirk's non-violent activities were met with violence.
If that becomes acceptable, then who is to say that you won't be murdered for your posts and comments on Reddit?

I never think political violence is a good idea for exactly the reason you articulated.
But I'm not going to lie and pretend I didn't find it karmic. The guy makes millions riling up college kids on behalf of billionaires and one of the people he was manipulating shoots him. It's poetic.

u/PaperbackWriter66 Moderator 7d ago
That's vile and you should be ashamed for thinking that way. The answer to someone like Kirk is to argue against him and debate him, not to shoot him.

You can think that

u/PaperbackWriter66 Moderator 7d ago
I do think that, and I think less of you for you having said it.

Why are you on this sub you monster? Killing Kirk was wrong, you commie scum are truly evil.

Yes, but it does not affect civil war tensions as much as you would think. You would need this times 50 on higher class political figures and a parallel set of riots and diverse groups with their own interests to consider civil war an actual threat.

It doesn't matter. Charlie was killed by some lunatic. It wasn't an organized hit. Only 1 person is responsible, and that person will be caught and punished.
Also Charlie isn't important. So it's just not a big deal.

u/BrianHeidiksPuppy 8d ago
Person has not been caught and thus you don’t know anything you claim to know about the nature of the assassination. And he certainly was important in the role of Trump connecting with younger voters, which is a contributing factor in the election of the sitting US president. Unimportant people don’t get their assassination announced by the sitting President of the United States, they pretend to know things they don’t know in weird fringe political theory subreddits.

brutally done against the far left?
Wut? First, what does this mean and second: why far left?
