    Almost all of the people paying tribute to him didn’t care at all about him a couple weeks ago will stop caring about him completely in a few weeks.

    I’m an atheist. I see ‘demonic’ things. It’s the religious white supremacy Americans. It goes against everything Christianity stands for. Spreading hate, indoctrination, racism, misogyny, child abuse, deportations, violence, crimes against humanity, etc. They don’t even know what, their own religion is about. These people are just pure evil and justify everything they say and do by a fictional man in the sky.

    Isn’t the context of the whole black thing about DEI/Affirmative action though?

      But that’s bullshit. They are still qualified it just makes you look at other people. The amount of people who don’t understand DEI is insane. Watch John Stewart’s video in it.

      Yes, it is. He always used to harp on affirmative action DEI leading to less qualified and able people getting jobs. So this results in the perception that any minority working in a qualified profession like pilot is only there because of DEI, not because of their skills and qualifications.

      Watch this video for context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDjN6A8ruo4 Parts of it are used in the submitted edit.

      Charlie Kirk has said plenty of crap. There’s no need to misrepresent his views by selective editing.

        But that is not what DEI does. DEI is there ro combat the old white boys club. What makes you think hiring Smith’s sin is going to get you the best candidate. To think without DEI you where Gurung the best candidate is such bullshit.

        That’s why I’m questioning why people are using this. There’s literally a clip of him going on about “prowling blacks”

        I think his point was that affirmative action would justify forms of racism in a way, and that was a bad thing, so he was calling it out

    Half!

    So it doesn’t help to shun his supporters.

    Take back their hearts. The racists stole them. Fight the ideology, not the people.

    I don’t condone what happened to Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk condoned what happened to Charlie Kirk.

      I could care less what happened. And hope a couple more go. They want the guns don’t care about shootings. Well maybe if a couple of them die instead of kids they well start caring.

      That’s a circlejerk. Everybody believes that they are on the good side.

          Please elaborate.

          I think whoever does evil thinks of the wrong people as good. Most will simply reject everybody as bad who opposes them.

          So the sentiment is true but it doesn’t work as personal advice.

            Hitler is an obvious example of someone who might have thought they are good and doing a good thing, but his death was celebrated by good people.

            Because being good is mostly an outside measurement and not an inside assessment by the person, therefore your point is nonsensical.

            By your point republicans celebrated the attack on Pelosi and her husband, those are not good people however you slice it.

              So if Hitler’s grandma gave him that advice and he followed it, would he have done what he did?

              Good people celebrated his death, but the personal advice doesn’t work because we personally decide what is good. We distort goodness to what we need, which is fatal if we are on an evil path.

              It is not an objective, outside measurement, but it is sold as such, specifically because it makes good people do evil things for the good side.
