    Empathy does a lot less damage than a bullet to the neck.

    Well it’s definitely not “new-age”, but apparently the worth “empathy” only entered the English language in 1908.

    So I’m gonna pretend like it’s 1776 like he always wanted me to do and not have empathy for him 😆

    We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

            Please unpack the irony. I’m old, I am no longer fluent in multiply-stacked layers of disingenuity.

            You believe that Charlie is wrong about empathy. But you emulate Charlie. Question: What the fuck?

            You’re just another Charlie of a slightly different ilk. You have to consciously try to learn the right lessons from bad experiences, or you’ll become a bad person.

          Empathy is when supporting blatant genocidal fascists responsible for perpetuating the system that has killed and is currently killing millions.

        I’m sorry. Being vitriolic and spreading more hate is the only right way to react? I’m glad he is gone, and causes right wing shits like him to realise they are not immune to consequences, is great. I just hate the way people are sharing his views in the process. They are just doing his work for him.

          Yeah so hate to break it to you but the real world isn’t like disney movies and there’s no holy battle between good and evil. Yes, I celebrate when active rapists and serial killers get killed and I also celebrate when fascists get killed.

          It’s not praxis but it’s still a nice bonus regardless because these are people actively inflicting harm on the actually innocent people whose lives you seem to completely trivialize. If you think that’s a bad thing your priorities are grossly misaligned.

          Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.

      The only reliable way to deal with fascists is to kill them. They will keep killing us until we force them to stop.

      Kirk might not have been out there shooting people in the street like a common beat cop, but he built a career out of stochastic terrorism. He suffered the same fate that he advocated for innocent people.
