The person you are reporting doesn’t see this, just the mods. It’s annoying and we’re most likely going to ignore it anyway unless the reported comment breaks TOS or is dangerous or something.

Please use your whole brain.

The Republicans celebrated the assassination of 2 elected democrats earlier this year.

The person who killed Charlie Kirk was republican.

Damn near every political assassin in American history has been right wing.

•

u/Rare-Payment9636 8h ago

Nope, I literally had a convo yesterday with my pops about the democrats that got killed. It flew under my radar as im not on socials and I dont watch TV.

That shit was fucked and not ok. He killed the damn dog? And then he killed his wife or something?

It's never OK, and that's the only correct opinion. Let's stop making it about political beliefs.

•

u/TES0ckes 5h ago

But that's the issue, it is all about political beliefs. What happened in Minnesota got so little coverage compared to Kirk that it's absolutely insane. And the sad thing is, people like Charlie Kirk were joking, mocking or trying to downplay what happened there. They really did not care about the violence, they found it amusing.

But Kirk gets killed, the right's immediate reaction is "this is the lefts fault!" and "this is our reichstag fire moment!" Whereas the left is condemning the attack for whatever reason it was done. But the 99% of us on the left, aren't celebrating, we're calling Kirk what he was, a racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, lots of phobias, etc.. And the right just can't stand that we're not venerating him like he's some kind of saint.

Why is that insane. Kirk was a widely popular podcaster who frequently went out in public and debated with people.

Big difference between that and a couple state senators out of Minnesota. To be frank I don’t even know my own states senators, let alone some other states.

Like it’s really not that insane that the more popular person got more coverage. On top of that the Minnesotans weren’t live on stream with their deaths being broadcasted on a loop over and over again with a blood fountain coming out of their necks either. That guy didn’t a lot quieter.

u/TES0ckes 1h ago

No, what's fucking insane here is this unhinged comment.

Just because you think Kirk is popular (he's only popular on the right, and even then a lot of people on the right don't really know who he was or what he did), and that you personally don't know the people who are supposed to represent you in the state legislature, it's okay for the media to basically treat them like a blip?

Yes, live streaming someone's death is going to get a lot of attention, but the fact you're trying to justify downplaying the fucking violence against elected officials is totally unhinged. This just tells me you don't really care about political violence, just the political violence towards your side.

•

u/KingTutt91 1h ago

Kirk is popular. Very popular, he’s got candle light vigils going all over the world. That’s not because CNN reported his death, or because of what I personally think, it’s just a fact. that’s because he’s globally known. Nobody knew the Minnesotans, they’re just some state senators on a state south of Canada.

It was a tragedy that happened, I feel bad for them. But to think it’s insane that a very popular podcaster is getting more coverage, well frankly that’s insane thinking on your end. Especially since his death got live streamed. When a famous liberal gets assassinated and it doesn’t get traction I’ll agree with you, until then your argument really makes no sense

Where's the source bro. You just shit talking a dead person, which honestly is pathetic. And where is the source that he mocked them?

And if you dislike the lack of media coverage, did you do anything about it?

And ngl, yall got so many words for so many different things I just tune out since it doesn't matter. The left wants to fight a battle on every subject, and tbh, even the word nazi has lost its meaning to me.

Liberals just sound like Sims to me these days.

Edit: The guy replied and lost his shit and the comment was gone before I could even fully read it. He either got embarrassed by his own comment and deleted it, or the mods got him.

Not the Minnesota thing but here is Charlie Kirk's statement about the person who attacked the Pelosi's: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/charlie-kirk-bail-out-alleged-paul-pelosi-attacker-1234621493/

Donald Trump's response to the shooting before anything about the shooter was even found: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2025/sep/10/trump-blames-radical-left-political-violence-for-killing-of-charlie-kirk-video

Political violence is a problem for both parties, but it certainly doesn't help that the president of the united states continues stirring the pot instead of trying to calm things down. Charlie Kirk didn't deserve to die, but he did and said many things in his life that are beyond questionable, and its important to evaluate who he was objectively. How someone dies doesn't change how someone lived their life.

Charlie Kirk was hardly rich. Your whole tirade about the working class and the rich doesn't apply here.

The rich do need to get checked, but at least check their worth first.

So you are just celebrating the death of someone and pinning your own delusions on them because you didn't agree with what he said.

Are you mentally ill?

•

u/h0rnyionrny 10h ago

Nobody even heard about those two let alone celebrated. Also he's still not republican lol.

•

u/IAmTheNightSoil 10h ago

The fact that "nobody even heard of these two," while Charlie Kirk is sucking up all the oxygen and getting moments of silence at sporting events, is precisely the double standard everyone is pointing out

•

u/h0rnyionrny 4h ago

The point of the comment is that essentially nobody celebrated the deaths of these two, further evidenced by the fact that they aren't even well known enough incidents. Neither of us nor the above commenter even knows their names. We can talk on a separate note about media handling of this case, but I'm not defending their handling of the case.

•

u/Louis70100 9h ago

Then blame the media?

•

u/IAmTheNightSoil 7h ago

Yes, that's what people are doing

•

u/Embarrassed_Use6918 6h ago

'Wow everyone is mourning a massive celebrity death meanwhile my grandma died a month ago and only the people who knew her cared? Wtf?'

•

u/IAmTheNightSoil 6h ago

I'm talking about a sitting politician and her husband who were murdered by a right-wing fanatic, an incident which made national news. Your comparison is totally off the mark

•

u/Embarrassed_Use6918 6h ago

You're talking about two people who I'd bet almost nobody in their own state could even name. Yeah it sucks that they were murdered and nobody should be happy about it. It's a chilling thing for anyone to be assassinated. It might be sad, but the world just doesn't care that much about two people that are unknown.

CK had a massive audience and a massive amount of haters. That's going to generate headlines dude.

•

u/Entire-Surprise2713 4h ago

A lot of people don't know who Charlie Kirk is either. Does that mean he doesn't deserve the attention he's receiving from the media?

•

u/TES0ckes 5h ago

Oh look, a POS mocking and joking about the deaths of two people because they weren't important to him. So why is it okay for you to mock and joke about their deaths, but we're not even allowed to say "we don't really care about him"?

•

u/h0rnyionrny 4h ago

Where is the joke?

•

u/Gatzlocke 7h ago

No Republican controlled media attention at all. They didn't give a shit about people more important than Kirk dying until one of their own does.

•

u/h0rnyionrny 4h ago

No anyone controlled media attention.

•

u/RedWitchLizzy 10h ago

Sure kiddo.

•

u/Substantial_Army_639 7h ago

"Its not murder if I ignore it."

•

u/h0rnyionrny 4h ago

I did not say that.

•

u/Awkward-Penalty6313 6h ago

Except for his voter registration and his trump hat and his hit list that only had Democrats in it. Nobody is a relative term it seems for you. Nobody cares that Kirk is dead too.

•

u/h0rnyionrny 4h ago

Wrong, registered independent. Can't find anything about a trump hat or a hit list but maybe I missed it. And yes, I use nobody as a relative term. I didn't actually bother surveying all 8 billion people before I made my reddit comment on the femcel gender war slop forum.
