    to charlie kirk’s children in the future (if you’re reading this, assuming lemmy is a bit more popular than reddit, and i really hope so): i’m very glad you’re able to come out and go under a new surname. seriously!

      or pop an M&M candy for charlie kirk if you’re sober

      in all seriousness, i have nothing to say about charlie kirk’s death - if i say that charlie kirk deserved it, i’d get comments defending him; if i say that charlie kirk DIDN’T, i’d get comments from people saying otherwise. addressing charlie kirk’s death is like an ethical quandary to me, that’s why i prefer NOT to say anything about that. i neither condemn nor endorse his assassination in any way, and i deserved to be called a fencesitter just for saying this.

      i do have to say when i watched charlie kirk’s death video (and DON’T worry it was blurred - i’m pretty sure i saw it on the new york post), and when i heard the gunshot sound, i said “oh god!” - that’s how i reacted. again, the actual assassination was blurred (luckily, so i DON’T have to see it uncensored). oh and i strongly disagree with charlie kirk - a very polarizing figure, i’d say.

      in other words, i oppose charlie kirk, but i prefer to avoid defending or condemning his death. malcolm x should be celebrated a bit more than charlie kirk though - rip malcolm x (1925-1965). seriously!

        He was literally spreading stochastic terrorism and cited by multiple mass shooter manifestos. It is an objectively good thing he can no longer do that. You’re right you don’t have to say anything especially not this centrist take. If you’re worried about people defending him if you say he deserved what he got then idk what to tell. Personally I do not care one wit about pissing off Nazis and Nazi apologists.

        It’s easy to pretend to be above it all when you aren’t one of the millions of us who he was encouraging the stripping of our humanity at best and outright extermination at worst.

        Edit: Oh LMAO IT’S YOU. Knew I recognized that name.

          1. i said that i deserved to be called a fencesitter for what i said, so i’ll give you that one.
          2. again, i strongly disagree with charlie kirk - being someone who’s non-binary, NO ONE should ever call for people losing their human rights simply because of who they are. seriously!
          3. i was on hexbear, but i got banned because i said stuff that they disagree with - i’m still learning. i agree with the idea of socialism, and i’m looking for resources from across the socialist spectrum (including marxism-leninism). if you have any resources on this, please let me know.

            You got banned for bullheadedly both side takes on literal genocide. Go fuck yourself.

            You aren’t learning because you are repeatedly refusing to learn from people that were more generous with you than you deserved.

            They should have just told you to fuck off the first time you flattened the conflict to being a “feud”. You have clearly learned nothing and continue to demonstrate you are unwilling to do so.

            Even now I am being more generous than you deserve.

              1. my socialist views are like a cross between market socialism, welfarism (as seen in social democracy), left-libertarianism, minarchism and georgism
              2. your comment (especially the “gfy” part) is very insulting. you weren’t trying to be generous, you’re acting very mean.
              3. let me just ask what comments were you talking about that got me banned?
