I’m not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don’t always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

    I don’t think you should be feeling some of the utter glee that I’m seeing some people espouse. You can find it funny, you can feel indifferent, even a little glad that such a dickhead isn’t in the world anymore, but some of the stuff that people are saying on social media (using their full name and photo like an idiot) is a little disconcerting. I don’t think it’s healthy.

    I couldn’t give a shit about Kirk personally or his family, but I’ve seen friends turn to extreme levels of sadistic joy, watching the video again and again, and trying to get me to watch it, pretending to have a party about it.

    …I dunno, that doesn’t seem like a mentally healthy thing to be doing.
