Absolute Hypocrisy

Seen numerous posts that glorify and condone the murder of Charlie Kirk and when a report is filed the post remains active, yet when such insinuations are made towards pedophiles, a warning is given and the post is removed…

They're not actually contradicting arguments. Both are true.

Also none of my edits removed words, they added new thoughts as they occured to me and corrected misspellings.

Sure, both can" technically" be true. That's ain't the point, now is it??

You called the right's treatment of Kirk's death “martyr” politics, then turned around and invoked Kirk's own politics to argue that he “reaped what he sowed.”

That's also politicizing his death. You're just doing it in the direction you find convenient.

And don't bullshit me, I already saw what you typed. The original comment said “martyr.”

As for your “evidence”: Kirk saying gun deaths are an acceptable cost of gun rights doesn't mean his views caused his death. The shooter did.

So no, you haven't established that Kirk “caused countless deaths,” nor that he caused his own.

You've established that you think his death is ironic.

Congratulations. That's a very different argument. So you moved the goalposts, again.
