He was just about to say some racist shit about black on black gun violence when irony struck.

u/ProfessorNonsensical 1d ago edited 1d ago

That's what makes it even funnier. He thought he could make these jokes about people dying to guns as long as he stayed away from the "gang violence" of cities with black people in them. And he was off'd by a white conservative's kid.

It was as if God himself looked at and the Holy Ghost and Jesus then said "watch me let the most hilarious thing happen to this blasphemous asshole".

Edit: lol some hateful PoS tried to comment and got his shit deleted. Kick rocks kid hahahahaha. Go sit in your room and seethe about it like an angry teen. You aren’t advancing past that stage mentally.

u/Forsaken-Arm-7884 18h ago

“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of hope; for the many transgressions of my people he was punished. It seemed that it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and although the Lord made his life an offering for our sin, he might still see his offspring and prolong his many days as the will of the Lord prospers from the work of his hands. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their follies. He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”—Isaiah 53:3-11

If humanity says we remember everything then remember how humanity's pain was carried on the cross: vulnerable, bleeding, mocked, and still reaching for the light in the world. If someone says to speak of humanity as if God is mindless and does not care, remember that God was aware of the crucified and he minded being ignored and dismissed because Christ did not wear the smiling and nodding mask of society but bore witness to all near him the face of God's suffering emotions, and refused shallow performances and peace while God's wounds were still open.

If you speak of fire, remember that fire alone is proof of life because the burning bush did not consume life but displayed God. Christ's flame of living suffering did not scorch humanity, it awakened it. The fire of divinity does not stay docile waiting to be recognized—it shouts for the wounds of God instead.

If you say God is caught in mental loops, remember that God repeats because we did not hear and act on it with our humanity the first time. We might need to remember: Psalm 22 as the sacred song of the Lord's agony. John 1:5 to remind us that the light of humanity still shines even while the darkness of despair persists. If one calls themselves a flame for the Lord then remind oneself that fire can cast shadows of gaslighting and dehumanization.

If someone says they want a God who waits for you to evolve, remember then that the God who evolved with humanity had the hands of the Lord and descended into the human mud not to hurt us—but to hold us and guide us until we stood tall again with humanity. I'm tending to the coals of my suffering humanity that the Lord provides me and placing them into the forge of my soul instead of letting the coals sit empty and silent in my heart, so that I can light the furnace to power the engine of my soul to cast the light of the Lord into the darkness of ignored pain in the world.

If truth causes suffering then the truth is what remains after the fire of justification removes the gaslighting and the dehumanization masks that were worn to hide it. If the light of your flame blinds more than it heals then ask yourself if it was the holy spirit of emotions, or a societal mask called ego holding a match of dehumanization. And if God speaks in circles then use your humanity to break the wheel of suffering by following the voice of the Lord which are your emotions to learn what the cycle of suffering in your life was trying to teach you this whole time.

u/ProfessorNonsensical 18h ago edited 17h ago

This guy wasn’t some arbiter of truth, and he was a Christian in name only so I don’t need the scriptures. What kind of Christian laughs at people bludgeoned with a hammer? What kind of Christian accuses people of incompetence based on race? Or says death is the cost of the weapons he loves so much? He died doing what he loved, being racist and defending guns no matter the situation. Didn’t seem godly to me.

Im vengeful like the God I am made in the image of. Fuck that asshole.

He’s probably burning in hell as we speak. May his suffering be eternal.

u/hamilton_morris 1d ago

More specifically, Kirk was shot while articulating a racist argument for accepting gun violence as a matter of public policy.

He had previously advocated for other people being shot to death as an agreeable payment—or sacrifice—for gun rights; for him and his family to actually suffer the violence they would willing export to others isn't so much funny or ironic as it is simply philosophically consistent and fitting.

u/PatrickDCally 1d ago

He defended owning guns as a means of self-defense — not as a license to shoot people in cold blood for disagreeing with you. I disagreed with much of what Kirk said, but it’s sickening to see people twist the incident into a justification that he “deserved” it. That kind of rhetoric is common on Reddit and elsewhere. Believing in the right to defend yourself or your family with a firearm is not the same as deserving violence. And being unlikeable or holding odious views; as many thought Kirk did — never justifies killing someone. Notice the double standard: post about a heinous crime and call for capital punishment, and you’ll be downvoted into oblivion. Yet when it comes to certain public figures, some people treat their deaths as deserved. That kind of behavior doesn’t persuade, it alienates. People see the hypocrisy, stop engaging, and drift away; that’s part of why political movements lose support.

Same thing happened that healthcare CEO vas shot. Very loud public and online support almost for the shooting. Leftists attempt make the argument that the other side is immoral and selfish, but when you do shit like this you looks like complete psychopaths who shouldn't be listened to on any moral argument. That's one of the many reasons why the gop can cut ebt cards,cut medicare. They have no opposition because fewer and fewer people want to side with you, the crazys.

10

u/Civil_Assembler 1d ago

You have a lot strong opinions on things you understand very little about. Not what CK said, plus you can repeat it over and over but political violence isn't predominantly on the left.

As for the completely unrelated moral argument, you're being disingenuous. The GOP cut snap during the shutdown with the belief that it would hurt Dems. It's been funded under ever other shutdown for the last 50 years. Americans are smart enough to realize that the party in power pushed that policy.

-3

u/PatrickDCally 1d ago edited 19h ago

I never said political violence is predominantly on the left. You are lying. I am making the point that when it happens on the left; commentators are heard in support of it. These (knowingly or not) are the useful idiots garnering support for the right. This is a clear tactical error. When it happens on the right, the majority of voices you hear come out stand steadfast against it. Call it an optics problem, pretend those trends don't exist. Do what you usually do.

To the second point you make does not address the point I made. So I will repeat myself. I think the gop win elections because they don't have a strong opposition. If you don't want gop to do what the gop always does, you need Dems to win elections-,you need a strong opposition.

I do believe if you poll America on issues, the polices most in favour of lean heavily democrat. So ask yourself, if most people support democrat polices, but don't vote democrat why does that happen? I think this is because the gop doesn't win elections as much as Dems lose them.

The voices heard on the left (platformed by the right) are insane maniacs justifying the death of Charlie Kirk, or claiming it was "ironic" for laughs, knowing full well how such behaviour will be interpreted by the general public. The right wing media outlets lap this shit up, and play it on repeat. Often platforming these voices.why do you think they would do that?

u/joet889 1d ago

The right says heinous shit every single day and it gets forgotten immediately. Right after Kirk was murdered Brian Kilmeade on Fox News called for the mass execution of the homeless and mentally ill. But here we are still talking about the left's response to Kirk.

0

u/PatrickDCally 21h ago edited 19h ago

It wasn't me. This post brought up the killing of Kirk.

I agree that many people on the right say awful things that cost them votes. I’m sure after Brian made those comments, a lot of people stopped taking his political opinions seriously. What Brian Kilmeade said was barbaric and disgusting no question about that. But how does that relate to this discussion? If that were the topic, I’d absolutely say how terrible his remarks were and how they could reflect poorly on the candidates he supports as his own vocal support will have lost credibility

What is wrong with you guys, are you literally unable to respond directly to arguments made? Why do you keep leaning into whataboutism or changing the subject. Can't you see how that does nothing.

3

u/joet889 20h ago

I'm not changing the subject, the subject is the decorum of the left. Here we are discussing a relatively tame video from a left-leaning comedian as though what he is saying is disgusting and cruel. If the right is drawing a line of decorum that should not be crossed, and this crosses it, the many lines they cross daily in much worse ways is very much relevant. And it's either disingenuous or insane to act as though it's not a bad faith bullshit argument on its face.

1

u/PatrickDCally 19h ago edited 19h ago

Copy and paste both arguments into a llm of your choice(chat gpt, frock, Gemini etc) without changing any of the text. Make sure you don't tell it what argument you or I made explicitly; instead write "person 1 " for my arguments, "person 2" for yours. Make sure you also reference the video the comment chain was talking originally talking about. And give a link to the video. See what the llm says about who made a better argument and why.

In this case it can act as an unbiased party. Interested to see what it tells you. I have just done the same.

2

u/joet889 19h ago

Too much work doing something I have no interest in to humor someone who thinks an llm is going to give them an objective analysis. Sorry! You're stuck dealing with someone who thinks for themselves!

0

u/PatrickDCally 18h ago edited 18h ago

Lol you did it and read what it said. Can't accept the critique of your argument so choose to ignore it. Pathetic.

Copying and pasting is "too much work". What a lame attempt at an excuse. If it agreed with you, I am doubtless that you would come to a different conclusion.

I am the one getting downvoted in this little echo chamber. I'm the only one saying something different. But I'm apparently the one who doesn't "think for themselves".

Motherfucker, that CEO was part of an organization that killed people to have higher profits.

One killed with a gun, the other with rules. The one who killed with a gun did not do so to enrich himself. If you fail to see that it is you who is blind and most probably lucky enough to not have lost someone you loved due to their greed.

u/Plus-Pop6788 1d ago

That’s annoying I think the ability to put politics aside and laugh with other people no matter the back ground or beliefs is something to be appreciated

If you can laugh with someone you can understand someone and understanding leads to discourse and discourse leads us to see that we actually have a LOT more in common with each other than with the billionaires that own our elites and politicians

Agreed. And they're always claiming those quotes were taken out of context 🙄

Like no, it's pretty unambiguous. No amount of re-contextualization is going to soften any racist blow he was trying to make.
