    Dont rewrite history while its still happening, mate. Saying you dont like him because X reasons is not the issue being brought up. Its the people cheering for his death, celebrating murder and worse calling for more of it. I didnt like the cunt, but I never wanted him to fucking die. But a lot of people on this very platform are drinking and cheering. And thats ghoulish behaviour. Its not about Kirk at that point, its about the people saying it.

      If you looked at Reddit, you would see that any criticism of Kirk is largely being equated to celebration or at least supporting it.

      Even if you ignored that, people are getting fired in droves for saying mild things, and the fascists are trying to force people nationwide to either keep quiet or participate in memorials. Just yesterday Oklahoma tried to force their school children into a minute of silence for the monster.

      And even if you ignored that, just posting Kirk’s quotes are making a lot of people angry.

      And even if you ignored that, there’s a huge attack overall on the left’s free speech in general. The Nazis are declaring war on us from the administration, saying they will dismantle the left. And declare leftists terrorist groups.

      None of this is okay. Open your eyes.

      Maybe it should be about the factors that led to a person murdering another person and not the bystander reactions to a notable event that happened.
