🎼 Ah for just one time
I would take the Northwest Passage,
To find the jaw of Fitzjames
Buried on King William Land.
Digging up stone cairns
Full of bones all chopped and crumbly,
And test them at Lakehead Un’versity.

I'm not at all celebrating gun violence. Charlie Kirk absolutely did, for his whole career, insisting that if you don't like someone's politics, someone should do probably something about them. I am in turn merely congratulating the late Kirk on getting precisely the world that he wanted.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

Remember that when Luigi allegedly smoked a CEO and the media did this same act (including Kirk, if I remember correct!) but people were all "naw that was funny we stan our assassin king" and the media eventually gave up. The full court media/politician press doesn't work when people hate a fucker

No, Ezra Klein, Charlie Kirk wasn't “practicing politics the right way.” He promoted racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia. Kirk had every right to express his political views, and his death is an outrage. But no one who believes in peace and love should praise what he was doing to our politics.

Some news organizations have dared report the views that made Kirk famous. The hagiographers can’t even mention those views out loud, because they make clear he greatly contributed to the politics of rage, conspiracy, and violence that may have ultimately ended his life.

Bad, Bad Pope Leo
He hails from the Southside of Chicago (the baddest part of town), but the Pontiff's emphasis on good works is more Jimmy Carter than Jimmy Croce. But will he have the guts to mess around with Don?
