Global Politics - General Chat

[Aragorn]

Political violence being always horrible patently ignores history. Charlie Kirk was nothing but a reprehensible grifter so in the grand scheme of things he is insignificant; but when the state has an absolute monopoly on violence, and when people that fall in Kirk’s camp are perfectly happy to utilize that violence - laying over because of some ideal utopia where we all happily sit around tables and discuss our problems away is ignoring reality.

I squarely identify on the left but believe in gun ownership for this reason. The American left’s problem isn’t that they’re too extreme, it’s actually the opposite - completely toothless when your opposition has shown time and time again that it is perfectly happy to break your spine and laugh while they’re at it too.

Non violence only works when your opponent has a conscience. The fascist right has none.

As for Kirk himself and his family - he was perfectly happy to incite his audience on the disenfranchised, and was an ardent supporter of an ongoing genocide. They too had & have families, and they deserve far more attention and sympathy than a total waste of oxygen. So yes, I still would piss on his grave. Karma’s a bitch.
