      Pollination is the action of spreading pollen and fertilize other flowers and trees. It’s actually very good for the world.

        True, but there’s a point when i stop caring, like when someone intentionally spreads hate and may be indirectly responsible for murders.
        Or a healthcare CEO.

        But fine, life without parole would do the same.

    Cool, it goes to trial then. Maybe his fucked-up wife will testify. That should be quite a show.

    Also, this guy deserves max sentence assuming he’s convicted. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend in this case.

      Correct. He was a Groyper. A Nick Fuentes brand Nazi.

      Fuentes and Kirk had a feud.

      Fascist infighting is a very real phenomenon Americans aren’t taught enough about because talking about how the Nazis were in fact murdering each other to rise through the ranks undermines the narrative that “The Nazis were owning everyone… until America swooped in and saved the day! Oh yeah!”

      Truth is, Nazi infighting contributed more to the downfall of Nazi Germany than America did.

        Honestly, that’s really just ideological fracturing, scaled up with the degree of radicalisation and readiness to do violence. The more you’re willing to kill the opposition, the more likely you’re willing to also target perceived opposition in your own ranks.

        That infighting is probably more visible to us on the left because we see it all the time, while the right wing’s propagandists manage to project an image of unity. Charlie getting Kirked is an example of that facade cracking.

        Good.

        This is why we need to understand that you always punch Nazis. I’m tired of cajoling to mods and pretending “fReE sPeEcH” makes Nazis tolerable just to keep from being banned.

        Hopefully that’s just my nascent trauma from reddit and I won’t get banned here, lol

      He doesn’t need to be a saint for it to be apparent he’s a fall guy. Based on what the FBI has told us it’s obvious this guy didn’t do it.

    I thought killing Nazis was one of the great American pastimes though? I feel that this was a concrete step towards Making America Great Again.

      Killing Nazis was a favorite pastime of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. (Fascism encourages killing one’s own allies to rise through the ranks or to “cull the weak”.)

      America just showed up late to massacre Japanese civilians (We killed more with normal bombs than with the nukes.), let most of the actual Japanese war criminals in power go, and then claimed we were the ones that killed the Nazis.

          They are — all humans are capable of the kinds of cruelty fascists espouse, and to claim otherwise just makes you open to lines of thought like “I know I’m human, which means I can’t be as cruel as them”.

            No, it doesn’t, and I resent that implication. There is no line of reasoning between your not-even-wrong claim that all humans are capable of these unspecified kinds of cruelty and the conclusion that claiming otherwise leads to logical inversions like the one you have chosen.

            1. I am not capable of the kinds of cruelty fascists espouse. I would die before committing them.
            2. Claiming 1. does not impair my ability to do logic.

              If I may… I agree that we shouldn’t use their tactic of dehumanization, BUT… we absolutely need to adjust our policy of what kinds of horrible behavior actually does justify a punch in the face (fascism and nazi stuff)

    Charlie’s neck just did that. His blood pressure was too high from all the hatred and also his tiny face contributed.

    Also the dude who didn’t kill him is a fucking weirdo too.

      His face was normal and he had a tiny head that was swollen to be bigger than normal from the pressure. His neck was a weak point that finally succumbed to the pressure. That’s why his neck just did that.
