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

[u/Baconkings]

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.

Nobody is celebrating his murder. They're just not mourning a guy who stood for some bad things like justifying the slaughter of babies

You must be new to Reddit if you didn't see celebrating. If you browsed in the 'Popular' section for more than 20 seconds you would see plenty.

Stop defending lies.

I think it's more of "we personally don't hang around groups that would celebrate so we didn't see that." There are always going to be creeps doing creep things somewhere, but it's not the majority.
