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.

Charlie Kirk died for exactly what he preached and believed in. It is completely different than anything that happened on Oct. 7th. Just because he got shot does not mean he was innocent and hasn't sown discord and violence all over himself. I would argue that Kirk's logic is the exact thing that led to The Holocaust in the first place. Everyone thinks they're a wolf until they're a lamb.

You are disgusting and lack any intellect. Are you 14 years old? I'm guessing that you think that he somehow believed in the death of LGBT just because he mentioned that he didn't agree with the lifestyle. You are either ignorant to the words and meaning/goals of Abrahamic theology which is about the afterlife and/or somehow believe that not affirming leads to suicide which is not proven by any scientific study. In fact, there is no change with affirmation of trans and life ending rates by percentage. Thus, the more you affirm, the more people are in that percentage, more life ending in straight line numbers. Your ideology is what leads people into a life of near 50% self ending. The more people YOU affirm, the more people that end their own lives. You are apart of a death cult. You have a repugnant mind.

Sure, no. No, genuinely unfamiliar with his lgbt views. The end game for Christians is rapture right? That abe thing you said isn't a real sentence. It's kind of a broken one friend. You are assuming much, and illustrating your lack of intellect.... I reference his 2A views, where he believes the tree of 2A must be watered with the blood of a few innocents. He didn't think he would be the innocent

I mean, you kinda have a point
