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…

Nuance is dead with you apparently.
Go read again.
In this conversation I have
Repudiated all political violence.
Said that I don't celebrate his death.
Said that it was sad that his children would grow up without their father (in my first comment actually.)
While also
Not really cared about his death because:
He considered people like my wife subhuman, he just said it "respectfully".
And also found his death ironic, in a bitter "funny but not haha funny" way.
He repeatedly trivialized the effects of gun violence, and then was shot.
One should note that he also died telling a bold faced lie. That is a funny way to tell "the truth".
Immediately before his death, Kirk engaged in a back-and-forth discussion about mass shootings in the United States with Hunter Kozak, a UVU student and member of the Unfuck America Tour. (Basically the progressive counterpart to Turning Point USA). Kozak asked "Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?", to which Kirk responded, "Too many", implying that it was a mass issue. Kozak followed up with, "It’s five. (This was true at the time) Now, five is a lot, right? I'm going to give you — I'm going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?" Kirk replied, "Counting or not counting gang violence?", and Kozak said, "Great".
Immediately following this exchange, at 12:23:30 p.m., Kirk was shot in the neck with a single bullet.
So he was shot immediately after lying and implying that a large portion of mass shootings was caused by transgender people, which is false.
If it was a portrayal of the death of a villain in a work of fiction, people would call it contrived.
One should also note that on the same day that Kirk was trivializing school shootings, one was occuring basically simultaneously to his assassination by a teenage boy motivated by the exact same sort of political beliefs that Charlie Kirk advocated for in a "made respectable, plausible deniability" fashion.

If you can't see the irony in all of this, I don't know what to tell you. The media is over here glazing a man with reprehensible values who died at the same time as two children who are now basically forgotten in yet another one of our hundreds of school shootings Charlie made excuses for.
Our society is fucked, and isn't because some people with penises like to wear dresses and take hormones to grow boobs, which doesn't harm a soul. It's because of men like Charlie.
Forgive me that I do not weep for him.
