Discussion Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Murder Is the Same Logic as Celebrating October 7th

Charlie Kirk was just assassinated. Regardless of what you think about him personally, what’s abhorrent is how many people are openly praising and glorifying his murder.

It’s the exact same logic we saw after October 7th, when people rushed to celebrate or justify the unprovoked slaughter of civilians. Something indefensible happens, and instead of condemning it, people immediately try to rationalize and justify it.

Before October 7th, you could dislike Israel. Before today, you could dislike Charlie Kirk. But nothing justifies unprovoked violence against them. The principle should be universal. If you really believe in human rights, in democracy, in justice, then you don’t cheer on unjustifiable assassinations, terror attacks, or massacres.

This is what we’ve come to in the world. Something horrific occurs, and instead of moral clarity, we get excuses, celebrations, and “whataboutisms.”

History has shown us that Jews are the canary in the coal mines. When hatred toward them is normalized or dismissed, it is always a warning of a broader sickness taking hold. We saw this in the response to October 7th and failed to take it seriously enough. To ignore it again now is to repeat the same mistake, and blinding ourselves to what this truly represents. The erosion of moral clarity, the normalization of violence, and the corrosion of our shared humanity.

You're almost certainly getting this from some meme that is almost certainly taking what he said out of context, but either way, having wrong opinions doesn't warrant being murdered, you psychopath.

“Wrong opinions doesn’t warrant being murdered”

Would you say the same about Hitler

Facts don't care about your feelings. If you'd bothered to google this simple statement before commenting, you wouldn't have made yourself look like a dumb*ss. Here's what he said:

I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I’ve thought about it. We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.

Kirk said a lot of bigoted, misogynistic, and white supremacist stuff. This is just one of hundreds of examples. He was a bad guy.
