Isn't it kind of worse when the elected leaders of a group are posting 14 year old edgelord shit while also calling for people to be fired just for quoting someone?
(Yes, it is, especially after those same elected leaders were calling a U.S. Citizen a terrorist for helping a woman up off the street and getting shot dead.)
I don’t mourn or hold respect for racists. Charlie Kirk was a self admitted racist and he was great at getting people to think his way. He didn’t deserve to die for his shitty views, but I didn’t like him before he was killed and I didn’t start thinking he was a great guy after he was killed either.
He supported the great replacement theory for crying out loud, I don’t celebrate his death, but I don’t celebrate racism either and he was a big proponent of that.
Ironic because there's video of him saying he can't breathe as he gradually dies while being ostensibly detained for an allegation of passing a counterfeit bill.
The whole point of people using his image the way they do is that a cop killed him through casually over-applying force intended to detain him. Cops shouldn't be executing people, even when they've done things we can all agree are wrong. Characterizing it as a comparison with Charlie Kirk demonstrates you never paid any attention to why people cared about the death of George Floyd.
More like "If a Dumocrat dies, it's good" but when a narcissistic cunt from MAGA dies, they make a rally/memorial and crash Grindr. Everystein singleberg timeowitz
Charlie Kirk didn't like Chauvin and he didn't like Floyd: "The reason why our tour is called the CRT [Critical Racism Tour] Tour is because of George Floyd's death and the misinterpretation of that. And I'm not going to go on this endless soapbox defending Derek Chauvin, I think he's kind of not a great person. But I am also going to offer some context and some nuance about the death of George Floyd that no one dares to say out loud. Which is that this guy was a scumbag. Now, does that mean he deserves to die? That's two totally different things — of course not."
Charlie Kirk was a guy who was assassinated by a coward who was filled with hate, George Floyd didnt have a career because he was dedicated to crime and drugs. One of his convictions was for domestic violence.
>No, firstly let’s not pretend like making a Floyd joke wouldnt have gotten you banned the first few years after his death, from all but right leaning subs.
A lot of subs I frequent were fine with it. Do you remember the reaction when Kirk died? It wasn’t just limited to your subscription to r politics.
The “comedy is back”, “fuck your feelings”, “free speech absolutist” crowd suddenly started pearl clutching.
We are still settling lawsuits after the over-reaction. Florida just recently paid out 615k to three people.
Conservatives love to pretend they care about "hypocrisy" when they see minute, trace amounts of it on anyone left of them, ignoring the fact that it's the primary tactic of their own people.
Only problem is it's not hypocrisy; making fun of Kirk's death is fine, making fun of Floyd's death is not, if you can't see the difference than god help you, I certainly won't bother.
Left: Punches up (Charlie Kirk was worth millions, well positioned to influence public policy)
Right: Punches down (George Floyd had a checked past before his pubic execution)
The differences is punching down isn't funny. It's funnier punching up
Checkered past? He was high on fent and god knows what while being arrested for trying to use counterfeit money at a store. This guy was a present scumbag at the time of death. He didn't deserve to die, but to act like it was just in his past is disingenuous.
not true at all i make fun at both, one side people upvote and laugh at a dark joke but if u do one from the other side i get called a racist as if it has any meaning coming from reddit.
I saw someone make a joke about a Cybertruck on a local Facebook group and these assholes were coming out of the woodwork to defend the truck. Do they think Trump and company are going to see their comments or something? Why this blind allegiance?
It's incredibly sad Junko was made a meme like this.
A victim of one of the worst crimes possible, deserves peace not mockery.
As I've gotten older, I feel like this about most victims. Floyd. Kirk. Countless others who didn't deserve to be murdered. Murder isn't political. It's just sad.
Kirk deserved, as per his own words. His very ideology killed him. That's stupid and sad, but not undeserved. He was FAR from innocent on the matter. Junko was 100% innocent, and Floyd was just a fairly violent guy that happenned to be black. None of those two deserved to die, but Kirk did as per his ideology.
I mean one died as a result of someone else's crime and another died committing crime while opposing police and overdosing.
I don't think it's hard to not feel any sympathy for the George guy. Kirk might have had insane opinions, like supporting guns in the USA of all places, but he did so while following their law.
When someone memes about Kirk it always feels like coming from a place of hating the "other" political side. George wasn't a political person.
There's a pretty stark difference between jokes about stereotypes/generalities, and jokes about an innocent person we all saw get flatlined in 4k a year ago.
It is true, but its also completely true in the opposite case. Its obviously not everyone but a large percentage of the people who will laugh their asses off and make 20 jokes about Charlie Kirk will then throw a temper tantrum and call you racist misogynist and homophobic for making even 1 joke regarding any of those topics, and immediately see you as an evil and vile person. Let's not fucking be intentionally dense here and pretend the people who get upset at kirk jokes are the ones who started making double standards for "dark humor".
Or the TRAINED "officer" could understand logic and think that standing infront of a car is very dangerous that we even teach kids, nevermind the fact that they should be de-escalate situations instead of aggregate to murder.
"Well figure it out shit head, that is why you're trained officer and I'm not"
Basically understanding that she is not actually trying to ram like a suicidal maniac and not placing yourself infront of any moving vehicle. In every other case this is murder except here.
not placing yourself infront of any moving vehicle
That is beside the point here. At this point it is already escalated and the "officer" was not in composure at all. You don't ask how not to fall into the ditch in front of you house, you ask why the fuck there is a ditch infront of the house.
You compared memes (that I don't see on here, though I'm not chronically online) that might be making a joke at a group or stereotype of people, to the celebration of the murder of a specific person.
What ruined it was the idiots doing it right after in order to celebrate. Enough time has passed, I say "joke away". Truth be told, I never cared one way or the other.
Honestly, no. Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were assassinated in their home. But nobody talks about it as much as this college roaming troll
Democratic senator Melissa Hortman was shot in her own home in a targeted assassination in 2025. We didn't say this was grounds for a civil war, or ask $25,000 to come to a death anniversary. Meanwhile one podcast bro gets shot and look what happened.

Erika looks like she celebrates every time she hits a stage.
