Charlie Kirk, "... I can't stand the word empathy..."

[uponit7771]

Horrible that he was shot but it's hard to have empathy for people like him who stoke violence against others or persuade others to not show empathy.

1. His miserable life was spent making money talking shit

About the voiceless. He was propped up by big money hate. Sorry.

2. My sympathy today is with the three children shot today while at school

due to the extreme gun violence Kirk has said is "worth it."

3. Combine this with his statements about gun deaths being a rational trade for the 2nd Am,

and you never need use your own words to respond to some butthurt fool complaining that you aren't being respectful enough about this asshole getting whacked. Just use his own.

6. Yep, looks like he was stoking violence against trans people right before he was shot, I've seen multiple vids

.. of this and want to confirm that was him.

If so its even harder for me to have sympathy.

4. He'd hate that new age nonsense, but by refusing empathy - in line with his beliefs - you are being empathic.

Hilariously, the people smearing him in death are showcasing far more empathy that the finger-wavers saying others shouldn't be grave dancing.

You're respectful by being disrespectful, but disrespectful by being respectful.

What a headache inducing Catch-22.

5. Important for people to know how despicable he was

He was a piece of shit.

Fuck him.

9. Yep, we can be against murder and admit Kirk was an asshole

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Good catch. It is fair and fine to have no empathy for him while condemning the murder. . . . nt

8. Well, give poor dead Charlie a break.......

He's probably unfamiliar with the term because it's rooted in a guy from the Middle East a couple thousand year ago he probably never read about who said "Love thy neighbor as thyself." So yeah, it's a foreign concept to him.
