        We’re talking about people’s reactions to widely covered murders.

        In one instance, we have a guy who consistently spewed hate speech and stochastic terrorism that received exactly what he thought and convinced his followers others should receive.

        In the other instances, we have two people who were subject to systemic racism and police brutality.

        They are part of the problem, but it’s not the same problem and it never will be.

        They are the enforcement wing of fascism.

        If you have a way you plan on tying your comment in to convince me that Charlie Kirk was against fascism, please do share.

          He obviously wasn’t, but the divide between left and right is pretty extreme. And something like ‘George Floyd challenge’ is downright atrocious.

          It’s hypocritical if the left were enjoying it then, but now crying wolf.

            Who is ‘he?’

            And

            Enjoying what?

    Unpopular opinion: Memes like this just further divide the two sides.

    Obviously both sides have crazy, inhumane people on the fringes. But most normal people, regardless of political leaning, did not laugh about any of those three deaths.

      I get your point, but anyone offended/annoyed by this meme fits pretty squarely in the fascist camp. You can’t play nice with extremists; no matter how well meaning your intentions, or well thought out your arguments, they don’t care.

    I’m pretty sure it s because the call to violence rather than just saying we aren’t sad for him. Sadly some are so use to them that they don’t understand how problematic it s specially regarding the recent most discussed political assasination

    The right is so absurdly hypocritical, it’s amazing how a human can get that low

    The sad part is that there’s 77 million of them, and they own the government

    He’s not even worth a meme to me. I thought he was a reddit thumb and too small face years ago and that was it.
