OK so magas making comparisons,,Iryna Zarutska and Kirk. Really

The person who stabbed the lady was homeless with mental illness.

He didn’t give two ****s about “the left” or “the right”.
 
Nope. I very carefully sprinkled examples in what I wrote that should have shown you that this comes from a variety of social sectors.
"People who lean into that, such as Kirk, immerse themselves into that social decay and find themselves targets of the very decay they are contributing to."
 
Yes, comparisons can be made and you're, ironically, demonstrating the connection: the left's lack of concern for human life when the matter doesn't jibe with their political views.
And yet in the Colorado school shooting, not one MAGA chimed in to provide thoughts or prayers. Proves that MAGA are selective in their concern for life.

MAGA are all in their feels about Kirk and how his death is the work of “the left”.
 
"People who lean into that, such as Kirk, immerse themselves into that social decay and find themselves targets of the very decay they are contributing to."
Do you go into the scary part of town at night and make a scene?
 
Nope, nothing is on me. I have been very clear the whole time while you have ether responded in bad faith or tried to make a very nuanced situation black and white.

That's almost the opposite of what I wrote.
Yes, you have been clear. You believe its Kirks fault for getting shot. If he hadnt dared to disagree with the left, he would be alive today.

You're in a a reality bubble.
 
When you wave away school shooting deaths as acceptable losses to preserve the second amendment there is always the possibility that someone who lost someone in a school shooting would be mortally offended.

Not saying it was the case here, but it could have been personal rather than political.

Why do you bother debating other people if you just want to repeat your own narrative and not actually listen to what people write?

This just happened yesterday. Is there a thread on it?
 
So you're equating intolerant, left-wing political orthodoxy with a "scary part of town?"

Interesting.
As I already mentioned, since the wealth gap has increased and we have had increasing social instability, basically the entire US is the scary part town right now.
 
You're in a a reality bubble.
Bullshit.
The Colorado shooting thread has 55 posts.
55.
That’s right. 55.

The Kirk thread has over 3000K.

Tell me again which side is stuck in a bubble?
 
This just happened yesterday. Is there a thread on it?
Both happened on the same day.

Being in the MAGA bubble having to “oh pity Kirk”, you had no time to see that kids were needlessly shot at school.
 
There were 40,000 automobile deaths last year. Are those acceptable losses to you? Or should we ban cars?
 
But what you are saying is that people who do not subscribe to your political views, somewhat understandably, put their own lives at risk. Yes?
Nah.

Just that we have crappy mental health care and readily available firearms and shit is gonna happen when that is the situation.

Y’all really need it to be political when it could quite likely be personal.

By definition an edgelord exists on the edge. It’s dangerous on the edge. That’s why it’s called the edge. One can fall off.
 
Bullshit.

You tell me. This site is like 80-20 liberal, why are you libs so disinterested in the school shooting and obsessed with Kirk?
 
As I already mentioned, since the wealth gap has increased and we have had increasing social instability, basically the entire US is the scary part town right now.
But when you adjust for taxation and social benefits, the "wealth gap" (as measured by the GINI coefficient) really hasn't changed in 40 years.

Charlie Kirk's "problem" is that he was an unapologetic social conservative. He was murdered for speaking his mind. To even remotely imply that he somehow courted that fait or deserved it is as ghoulish as it is reprehensible.

You can kill someone with a hammer. Should we ban hammers?

I’m a second amendment liberal that is also a federal felon who may never posses a firearm.

My situation proves categorically that the second amendment isn’t actually a “right”. Rights by definition can’t be taken away. But my right to keep and bear arms was taken away.

So it’s really just a privilege and as such can be modified. Have conditions imposed.
 
Nah.

Just that we have crappy mental health care and readily available firearms and shit is gonna happen when that is the situation.
If you believe this, why do you engage in the type of hateful rhetoric that would lite a fuse under such unhinged people?

Lol. Of course it was political.
By definition an edgelord exists on the edge. It’s dangerous on the edge. That’s why it’s called the edge. One can fall off.
So it was Kirks fault for daring to challenge the left.
 
Charlie Kirk had a lot of problems. Do you know he once advocated for children to watch public executions? Apparently he thought it would do society a lot of good. Ironically, he would later be gunned down in front of his children.

 
Bullshit.

What you're politics won't let you consider is the possibly that post volume often equates to disagreement. No one in their right mind was defending the Colorado shooting or trying to imply it was somehow connected to student behavior. The controversy, and thus the back-and-forth, begins when people start to imply the murder victim somehow had it coming.
 
The “acceptable losses” argument may not have swayed everyone who lost a loved one in a mass shooting.

And there’s definitely a difference between cars and guns. Accidents are accidents. Nobody accidentally shoots up a school.

See the difference?

You will have to show that. You will also need to explain how this is an adequate replacement for wages and property among people.
Charlie Kirk's "problem" is that he was an unapologetic social conservative. He was murdered for speaking his mind. To even remotely imply that he somehow courted that fait or deserved it is as ghoulish as it is reprehensible.
That is what you keep asserting. I am showing you what’s really going on.
 
You can kill someone with a hammer. Should we ban hammers?
By the 'logic' of the left, yes.
No, its a right, just as your liberty is a right. The problem is, you engaged in criminal behavior that, if you were sent to prison, caused you to lose your right to liberty and your right to bear arms. If you did your time, your liberty was restored. Not sure anyone agrees that felons should have access to weapons one they get out.
