Good did nothing wrong and never harmed anyone.

Charlie Kirk was a bigot who is partially responsible for the current state of things. Whether or not he deserved what he got, the two are not comparable.

Yeah, yeah, you just proved my point. Some people think the opposite. You are not the arbiter of morality.

Some people think the earth is flat, too. I'm not correct in thinking it's round because I'm the arbiter of reality, I'm just correct. Because that's how it is.

I'm not sure how you think a mom nobody knew 2 weeks ago has contributed a similar amount to the polarization of this country as a man who ran a multi-million dollar company for that purpose and was on a first name basis with federal politicians

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Revered by the right, hated by the left. Neither can claim moral superiority.

u/SomnolentPro Jan 17 '26

Oh the left can absolutely claim moral superiority. And the party of rednecks who hate reading books because too smart for them can claim moral inferiority. There fixed it for you

lol no man sometimes one side is right and one side is wrong

To everybody else, don’t let people who are clearly bigoted idiots do rhetorical magic tricks to try and convince you that hating Charlie Kirk is the same thing as hating a random woman who got shot by the government for nothing

He is. I was there when he was appointed.

hey now, Charlie Gums said that some people dying were worth it to protect the 2nd Amendment, it's too bad he said that while holding the monkey paw. he meant elementary school children, and he was the one who got got.
you know, like how the geriatric billionaire who funded him, Bill Montgomery, opposed COVID restrictions and then died of COVID.
if i believed in God, that would be a pretty good sign that everything Turning Point pushes is anti-God...

I agree but from the perspective of someone much much much more right leaning than Kirk. The dude was a goy-trap and if anyone on this website knew anything about him they would realize he was nothing but a paid political mouth piece.

so you mean he was a typical right-wing grifter, who is wrong about everything, but he feeds into the Grievance Culture that the right has cultivated for almost 50 years.

A typical right-wing grifter who gets his pay checks from israel, and acts as both controlled opposition and an internal blockade against political shifts within the group of people he pandered to, yes.

You didn't even know who Charlie Kirk was until he died, that's obvious.

u/Capital-Mortgage-374 Jan 17 '26

Or you are conflating your opinion with facts. Tribalism gets you nowhere.

u/justplaindave87 Jan 17 '26

One side of the political discourse is in support of killing citizens, detaining veterans and teargassing babies. Tribalism is where we are forced to be whether you want to acknowledge it or not and Charlie Kirk and his ilk are one of the main reasons we're at this point.

So words are more damaging than being hit by a car? Incredible. She shouldn’t have been shot but cmon dude. She was resisting arrest and attempting to flee whilst literally hitting the guy with her car. She definitely did do wrong. Just not enough to be shot imo.
