charlie kirk died for what he believed in. in a literal sense: he believed in a world where gun deaths are inevitable and the solution to problems is violence. he excused his own death before it happened. if anyone else had died he'd already be weaponizing and relativizing it.
so when Charlie Kirk gets shot everybody wants to start talking about "this is above politics, he has a family", but when Palestinians are slaughtered, agreeing with it is a fair political opinion...
People will look you dead in the eye and tell you to "have respect" for a person who has spent their entire career making sure YOU don't get to live an equal and happy life, or live at all.
Things to remember about Charlie Kirk:
- he said it was a mistake to pass the Civil Rights Act in 1964
- he blamed "Jewish money" for ruining American "culture"
- he said gay people are a disease
- he said the 2nd amendment is worth the cost of "some gun deaths"
