Misleading title. Yes, Charlie Kirk’s assassination sparked a conversation about the importance of free speech and disavowing political violence. The standing ovation was not for Charlie, but for the outcome of that speech.

Still, you’d think they’d at least TRY to be reasonable with the optics of the conversation.

Why are my tax dollars being used to give a racist, bigot, fascist and all around waste of human life a standing ovation?

This is utterly ridiculous to a country as diverse as Canada that I would think overwhelmingly disagrees with the hate Kirk spewed out of his filthy pie hole.

They want to mention that political views shouldn’t turn violent, great. But don’t waste my money on mourning an absolutely horrific person with a standing ovation. This pathetic human doesn’t deserve anything except that grave he’s now being dumped into.

My queer, female co-worker was mourning him and binge watching his content recently. I mentioned i was surprised she would listen to him given his views and she basically rebuttaled “uhm actually he does respect women, see he interviewed some porn stars and only fans girls.”

Yup. Exactly. And ndp is just in the corner shitting the bed

Me when I read the headline: DAFUQ

Me when I read the article: oh, ok.

Me when I realized it was yahoo: God damn me for falling for click bait.

That all said, those celebrating Kirk’s death are as much simply expressing themselves as Charlie Kirk was, when he was denigrating immigrants and those that didn’t fit the ideal Aryan description

And we should also publicly denounce people threatening journalists and professionals like Rachel Gilmore, who had been simply lamenting the appetite for escalation that would come from those seeking retribution, but this was wildly interpreted as a celebration and now is facing a constant barrage of death threats. Which only proved her point btw.

… in relation to the death of a fascist

The benefit also being increasing their power over the rest of society by means of exercising control over their assets and public institutions staffed by likeminded people. For example by buying news media and shifting focus away from those same issues that provide those benefits.

E: Saw headlines about a couple of rumors - David Ellison buying CNN and Larry Ellison buying TikTok. The first is the same Ellison who bought CBS via Paramount and is planning to install Bari Weiss as head of news. The second is his dad, Oracle owner and a top 3 richest person in the world.

Yes, the title and article is.

That’s right. If they had not mentioned him or mentioned a few examples, him among them, that would have made the optics very different.

Read the article, title is clickbait.

Thr moment I saw thr link I thought “This has GOT to be really shitty bait.”

But isn’t what Kirk did constitute as hate speech here in Canada. We don’t have freedom of speech, we have freedom of expression.

He didn’t deserve to die but he was toxic in every sense of the word.

She’s a special kinda stupid.

She’s welcome to listen to what she wants, i was just surprised the respect she had for him given he wants a world where she wouldn’t have rights.

Wouldn’t have rights because she’s a woman? Or queer?

Both.

I hope somebody is keeping a list of all these people because it’s straight up a list of fascists.

can we stop applauding nazis in parliment for gods sake.

Propaganda works, y’all. It’s serious.

NO!!!

Kirk wasn’t a ‘conservative pundit,’ he was a bigot, a homophobe, a white supremacist, a sexist piece of shit who cheered on the deaths of others.

Make it clear: he was a source of hatred and violence.
