The assassination of Charlie Kirk threatens to embolden the far right and provide Donald Trump with a pretext for crushing dissent. Escalating political violence corrodes democratic norms and poses a unique threat to the Left.
Do you think there are any situations where it is reasonable to withhold empathy?
From my understanding the Kirk fellow was a demagogue who was happy to promote all sorts of vile ideas for personal enrichment.
From my time in the US, I understand that this sort of thinking is haram, but I have enough knowledge of comparable demagogues in other countries to not buy into the “sincere belief” gibberish.
Fascists don’t deserve your empathy, ‘cause they don’t spare you any when they send in troops to cull political opposition. You can’ t reason with fascists, we had a whole fucking war about this not even 100 years ago.
I’m endorsing the golden rule. Charlie Kirk endorsed violence, racism and homophobia just to name a few. This is exactly what he wanted, just not to happen to him. The shooter thought Charlie wasn’t conservative enough, by the way.

Charlie is on record saying some deaths are necessary to keep the 2nd amendment. Dumbass literally died being a statistic he believed in.
