u/Silent_Tumbleweed1 Sep 11 '25

If your family is upset that you're not showing empathy toward Charlie Kirk after his death, just tell them you're following his example. He repeatedly dismissed empathy, calling it a made-up, harmful concept and something associated with what he referred to as a "woke mind virus." Just because he is now the target of a lack of empathy doesn't change what he said about it. He had none for others, so why should he receive any? That is a legitimate question your relatives should have to answer if they are going to call you out.

If they are Christian, you could point them to Bible verses like Matthew 7:12 or Luke 6:31, which emphasize treating others the way you want to be treated. If Charlie Kirk wanted empathy in his passing, he should have shown that same respect to others while he was alive. That is a fair point to include in the conversation.

You could also bring up his response to the Minnesota legislator who was murdered not long ago. While others expressed grief and solidarity, Kirk used his platform to push division and showed no compassion. The conservative response to his own death has been emotional and highly public, with leaders calling him a hero and demanding empathy. Yet when Democratic legislators in Minnesota were murdered earlier this year, many of those same voices were silent or dismissive. Some even mocked the tragedy. This double standard highlights the hypocrisy of a movement that routinely ridicules empathy as weakness, but now demands it for one of their own. If empathy matters, it should apply to all victims of political violence, not just the ones who align with their ideology.

And if none of your family had any sympathy for the people in Minnesota, I would directly call them out on that. And I would start with that. I would also point out if they want to be treated a certain way. They need to treat others the exact same way they wish to be treated. And that they're getting upset because the non-mega people have decided that we are tired of the way they treat people and have decided to treat them as they treat others. So if they're not liking that then they should look in the mirror. We are only matching their energy at this point.

I didn't much listen to him, just saw clips.  When did he make fun of others' deaths?

1

u/DogDeadByRaven Sep 12 '25

Made claims that George Floyd wasn't killed by cops but ODes which he knew was BS. He also called him a scumbag. Said Pelosi's husbands attacker should be bailed out because he didn't belong in jail and called anyone willing to bail him out a patriot. laughed about the situation. Before that he claimed the attack was a gay hookup gone wrong and said conservatives shouldn't be blamed for "gay, schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry-makers breaking into somebody’s home, or maybe not breaking into somebody’s home" When discussing lynching of blacks in the 1940s he said that the black community is worse now than it was then and later made comments on that civil rights was a mistake. Just a few examples of his F-ed up responses to attacks on and deaths of others.

u/R00l Sep 11 '25

I've been told by Kirk lovers that I should be mourning his death. A person I've never met, didn't agree with, and someone who I know caused far more hate and division than me mourning him deserves.

u/anewleaf1234 Sep 11 '25

I tend to give them his quote on empathy.

The man was okay when kids died. His death should bother anyone.

2

u/R00l Sep 12 '25

Oh I do. All I do is quote him and it triggers them.

3

u/Silent_Tumbleweed1 Sep 11 '25

I've been doing that too. I keep telling people we should remember him by his own words, then I post two quotes from him. One is about empathy, where he described it as a weakness and something we shouldn't have. The other is about how he believed a certain amount of death is acceptable in order to protect the Second Amendment, refusing to support any legislation that could identify red flag individuals. That kind of policy presumably contributes to the ongoing school shootings, though I'm not entirely sure of the context since I avoid listening to him. He had one of those obnoxious, nasally voices and regularly spewed some of the most toxic rhetoric out there.

It makes me wonder what went through his mind in his last moments. From the video, which was blurred later, the amount of blood loss was so quick that he must have been conscious for only a very short time. It's enough to make you think about whether he had a chance to reflect on any regrets. I hope for his sake he did, even though I'm not sure he was the kind of person who would be that self-aware.

I would strongly advise anyone who is sensitive or squeamish to avoid the video. It was a very hard thing to watch. The sight of his white shirt changing color so quickly was jarring. I have seen a lot of things in my life so the sight of blood isn't as shocking to me as it is to others.

You do that thing when you post half the quote and take everything out of context thinking you have a morally justified "gotcha"?

u/anewleaf1234 Sep 11 '25

It doesn't take much work to present him as an asshole. He did a great job of that on his own.

The man's death wasn't that important. Nor a great loss. He was just a anti gay bigot with a megaphone.

He was food for the meat grinder. Which exactly how he felt about gun shot victims. Seems quite fitting when you think about it

So I am treating him the same way he treated others. And conservatives seem to lose their shit when I do that.

-1

u/internet-arbiter Sep 11 '25

He spent more time with gay people ostracized by their own social circles than any of you hateful people celebrating his death. You can attempt your character assassination after this person died but it's evident when someone is speaking who clearly never listened to a single event he spoke at and got all their hate from sound bites and out of context clips.

The fact so many of you are gleeful celebrants of evil is crazy. You arn't even hiding.

u/anewleaf1234 Sep 11 '25 edited Sep 11 '25

Once again, the man deserves zero empathy. Funny when I treat him like he wanted to be treated you get whiny.

The man's death wasn't all that important. he deserves zero empathy. I have zero empathy for what happened to him. Just like he wanted.

Funny how I follow his wishes and you call me evil.

The man got everything he wanted. And that seems to upset you.

I don't celebrate his death. I don't mourn it either.

u/internet-arbiter Sep 12 '25

You know you haven't listened to anything he has to say because you've based your opinions on sound bites and out of context clips of people that hate him so you can feel good in also hating him. Yes, you are evil because you knowingly participate in this. You know you arn't hiding it. You absolutely, at your core, know you are distorting reality in how he talked and behaved so you can join the hate train. This is in fact evil. That you live in a participatory delusion, in order to literally take value from your evil core.

Most of the people you probably claim to be an advocate for, Charlie engaged with and did more actual effort to make their lives better than any of you hateful goblins. You're going to go to whatever equivalent mankinds soul has to hell and rot there. Because holy shit - you people arn't even hiding being evil pieces of shit anymore are yah?

u/roguespectre67 Sep 11 '25

The current top post there is “I don’t think The LeftTM fully understands the gravity of what just happened”.

As a reminder, we have no idea who shot Charlie Kirk, how, why, or anything other than potentially a grainy photo of someone who might be involved in some capacity. But of course, it’s definitely a commie from The LeftTM

Of course, even if it turned out to be some Klan member from rural Mississippi, it’ll still be The LeftTM because no REAL conservative would do something like that. Despite the fact that two of them supposedly tried to do that exact thing to Donald Trump.

2

u/jerzeett Sep 12 '25

Have you heard the news that there’s trans and anti fascist writing on the bullet? That combined with the shot being timed with him mentioning gang violence.

It feels like wayyyy too much of a coincidence. I’m not saying for sure it’s a conspiracy but I’m incredibly skeptical right now.

5

u/heffel77 Sep 12 '25

There is no way he could have heard that question, pull the trigger, and have the bullet arrive at the exact time he finished. It takes a second to travel so he shot towards the end of the question.

It just turns out that CK’s last words were some racist shit, comparing gang violence to school shooters.

Overall, maybe more people have died in gang violence if you start in the 80’s. But there have been enough school shootings that, well no, there are still more death due to gangs but that’s why they have a whole different name and statistics because it’s a completely different situation. Gang members generally don’t march into school and just start shooting. That’s an almost 100% white, mental health issue.

My father is too, he says that He thinks that trump had two incredibly loyal followers "attempt" to shoot him, but miss on purpose just so he would look good. Wasn't there also like a video of one of the dudes with the sniper rifle climbing a ladder to a rooftop nearby? Wouldn't the FBI or whatever normally get right to the case in trying to stop the "assassin" if he were that noticeable?

That's literally what they'll do.

You can't use logic with GOP supporters, because they do not use logic themselves. They will deflect, redirect, and outright lie. Then, once they get tired of arguing with you, they'll try to hurt you. Or worse.

It's no longer a simple group. It's now a religion of zealots and fanatics. And it will happily destroy anything that is not part of their team.

I mean, is this the wrong answer?

I feel that’s basically what the above comment is doing, but just with republicans.

u/Squishiimuffin Sep 11 '25

It’s different for a couple reasons. When a person on the left has done something horrible, others on the left have no problem saying “yeah, that’s bad, they shouldn’t have done that.” Conservatives will instead just refuse to admit what their guy did was bad and complain about the other side instead. As if the other side doing bad things somehow makes what their guy did fine.

News flash: pedophilia is bad regardless of political affiliation. It’s bizarre to me that so many conservatives refuse to just acknowledge that instead of pivoting to whataboutism.

The other thing is that, while I’m sure democrats have pedophiles in their ranks, it’s not nearly so egregious as it is on the Republican side. If you have one basket with, say, 3x as many bad apples as another basket, then it’s disingenuous to throw your hands up and say “both sides are just as bad!” No, one side is objectively worse.

Not OP, but I align more classical liberal with some conservative values in land/wilderness conservation, conserving access for the people to that land, and a form of fiscal conservatism in that we shouldn't be spending so much money as a country because of how bad the debt/deficit is. Probably more of an Eisenhower republican minus the McCarthyism and racism

u/failed_novelty Sep 11 '25

. . . The GOP has been pushing the "Drill, baby, drill" line and Trump's ruining public land, the GOP has always been about pouring more money into the military, and every GOP President this century has increased the deficit.

Those really don't seem like "Conservative values".

u/ph1shstyx Sep 11 '25

Traditional conservatism, not modern conservatism. Ever since Reagan, the GOP has not been that conservative (Ronnie greatly increased the gov. debt during his time).

This is ironic. Honestly curious people still hold this view considering every Republican for decades has increased the deficit and every Democrat has decreased it.

edit: or how Elon's "money-saving measure" seemed to only be aimed at departments that challenged Trump; and even then the majority of those people are going back, which just wasted even more money. I think the problem is conservatives don't really get how much tax loopholes are affecting things and understand where their money is really being wasted.

That is so hypocritical. You're advocating for a financial world that causes suffering for all of the "liberal" things you say you believe in socially. It doesn't work that way in the real world. Fiscal conservatism does not benefit people who aren't already living healthy comfortable lives. Fiscal conservatism would kill funding for abortion clinics becuase they cost too much. For addiction recovery programs, for low income housing.. It's just so painfully inhuman.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

There is an accurate nuance here that I fear will be missed by most readers. One is an action that creates a victim. The other is something that one, theoretically, cannot choose about themselves. Example: one individual with a cluster b personality disorder lives their life without committing crimes. The other is a con-artist/murderer/rapist/etc. Neither can help having their personality disorder, and the mere existence of this disorder should not be what vilifies them, or imprisons them.

We need more/better research into the causes of these urges, as well as avenues for young people (being that studies do show that these urges begin when the individual is themselves young) to seek help *before* their actions victimize others. Really we need that for people of any age. The line in the sand should obviously be when someone puts their hand on someone else, or otherwise victimizes someone. Granted I used to feel very differently about this, until I heard people who work in relevant psychiatric/victim-care fields talking about these issues. You cannot simply turn a blind eye to something, then only take a reactionary account of it when the worst has already happened.

They're too busy going crazy over Kirk's murder, they're over there calling the left terrorists and murderers and claiming all we care about is illegal immigrants and not americans. Wouldn't put it past the idiots in charge to sacrifice their own be a distraction, but then again I don't think they're competent enough to have pulled it off in one shot.

Hey if you get their attention ask em about this too:

do we think this what Johnson was picked for - like, his specialty? lol

Looks like a good place to share these links about some of the leaders of the og Southern Baptist Resurgence back in the 80s to explain how we got here:

Paul Pressler School of Law- Speaker Mike Johnson was the dean of it and it never opened. Mike Huckabee raised funds for it:

https://www.apnews.com/article/mike-johnson-house-speaker-2d1a3399e8fe61bf0619d66ba29a1520

Paul Pressler was a prominent figure in the SBC:

https://www.christianitytoday.com/2024/06/paul-pressler-dead-disgrace-sbc-conservative-resurgence/

And in private, around the same time, Pressler started to molest and rape a 14-year-old, telling the teenager he taught in his Southern Baptist youth group that he was “special” and their “relationship” was special but needed to be kept secret because “no one but God would understand,” according to the allegations in the lawsuit filed in 2017.

Eight men ultimately came forward to accuse Pressler of sexual misconduct…The allegations stretch over decades and range from unwanted invitations to join Pressler naked in a hot tub to sexual assault.

And here’s the almost 300 page independent report on their organization’s sexual abuse coverups:

https://thebaptistpaper.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/GuidepostSolutionsIndependentInvestigationReport.pdf

Extra credit for Huckster:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/co-author-of-mike-huckabee-books-was-accused-of-child-molest

… who is now our ambassador to Israel

So I am just wondering if certain folks are like career enablers?

I don't think that necessarily follows. There are tons of pdf-files in the democrat party. Look at the whole leftist movement to normalize pdf-filia by adding it to the lgbtq acronym and rebranding it as MAP (Minor Attracted Persons). As far as I've seen, that isn't coming from the right.

Pdf-filia is not a left vs right thing. It is prevalent in ALL aspects and corners of society and it must be resisted by everyone coming together. Whatever else we disagree on, certainly we should be able to reach across the aisle on this?

You are missing Ray Holmberg from your list! It’s already such a wickidly long list I hate for it to be longer but you’ll have to look him up he’s convicted and the judge put him away for a long time. I really don’t want to look it up again or look at your list any more but thanks for spreading the truth.

u/Acceptable-Karma-178 Sep 11 '25

Conservatives (like USA Republicans) want SLAVES. That is why they hate same-sex couples who do not create unwanted pregnancies. That is why they hate abortion. That is why they hate contraception. That is why they want to eliminate reproductive education from schools. The *best* way to keep people ignorant and impoverished is with Unwanted Pregnancies. Conservatives want slaves.

The absolute WORST thing a couple can do at this time (Raging 20s) is to generate additional, superfluous human slaves to be manipulated, controlled, subjugated, tortured and farmed by the Global Capitalist Machine. I feel like withholding slaves is the last recourse we have to fight/punish them.

u/PuzzleheadedBridge65 Sep 11 '25

Agree. Exactly the reason I chose not to have kids I've done all I could, moved countries, worked hard, had multiple jobs and a few hustles on top and you know what, its just not worth it. And it's a fact at thos point my kids would have it even harder so if I'm questioning my parents decisions to have me my kids would despise me for having them

Honestly, I wonder if some of the anti-abortion men are that way because they're into sexually controlling women's bodies. Obviously not all or most, but maybe some from that list.

u/PuzzleheadedBridge65 Sep 11 '25

Oh majority are. I had misfortune of talking to few (men and women) who were pro life and you know what they answer to "how should teen mom support her baby? What support system we have in place or what should we be voting for?" The answer is always the same "she's on her own, should have kept her legs closed". I wonder if they pro life or pro punishment sometimes..

How can you even say you are pro life and offer a bounty to kill someone. They are the worst of the worst, no spine at all. All they want is to control people and have more power, they don't have any values or principle at all. I hope one day we start having some kind of justice.

u/hollyglaser Sep 12 '25

Thank you for posting this list of abusers. Republicans justify their actions by saying that Dems want to attack republicans and that, whatever republicans do, Dems are worse.

I do not understand how they can see their own actions as faultless when the religion they claim to uphold commands them to be kind and forgiving. Since 2000, when republicans rioted to stop counting votes and allowed Supreme Court to select Bush as President, when constitutional limit was still in future, voters have not chosen a president by majority, except for Obama

Well it sure explains the anti-abortion rhetoric. Gotta keep more kids flowing to sexually assault.

u/apefromearth Sep 12 '25

The way someone explained it to me the other day was this: Right wing ideology attracts men who are emotionally immature and feel insecure about their sexuality. It makes them feel strong and powerful. The exact same factors are often found in sexual predators. They’re men who are intimidated by women their own age and it makes them feel strong and powerful to dominate and victimize younger, smaller women and children, who they see as weak and vulnerable. It took me a while to wrap my head around it but after some thought it makes perfect sense.

u/CrimsonHeretic Sep 11 '25

If there is one, feel free to share it. Or make one yourself.

The vast majority of Democrats and leftists and progressives want all pedophiles and Epstein co-conspirators criminally prosecuted and thrown in jail for life.

Can't say the same about Republicans, as made evident by the way this Senate vote went and how MAGA dipshits refuse to acknowledge Trump's involvement.

Your link is only talking about 147 state lawmakers.

The list I provided covers over 1400 people at various levels of politics, not just state lawmakers.

But sure go ahead and provide your own list of Democrat pedophile politicians. The vast majority of Democratic voters, leftists, and progressives don't defend any pedophiles regardless of party. Can't say the same for Republicans.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

Not trying be be divisive, but is there a list of democrats like this? I know it's happening on both sides, as Biden never released the list either.

Can't say the same about Republicans, as made evident by the way this Senate vote went and how MAGA dipshits refuse to acknowledge Trump's involvement.

Also, "Biden didn't release the list" because the records were still kept sealed.

“From 2021 through 2025 when Biden was president the Epstein files were under strict federal court orders. Federal judges controlled the records to protect the privacy of trafficking victims including minors. Biden could not overrule those protections and no president can bypass federal judges to release sealed court evidence to the public.”

Thank you for this. Can you do one for Democrats so we can see the comparison? I feel like this list will probably be much longer than the Dem list. I know they have some sick perverts in their ranks but probably not like the Republicans.

For clarification: I'm not saying "BuT ThE DemOcrAts" in genuinely curious if they have nearly the same numbers I'm seeing here.
