    I always thought i was left, but seeing how a lot of people on the left gleefully react to someone’s assasination makes me wonder if i’m actually left.

    I don’t mourn Benito Mussolini’s passing, i never liked him. But i certainly don’t celebrate his murder either. Anyone who does should be put in a mental asylum as far as i’m concerned. They certainly have mental health problem

            Charlie’s job was propaganda. He laundered the fascist ideology into mainstream discourse. If my coworker said some of the awful shit Charlie said, I’d just think he was a racist piece of shit, but I wouldn’t celebrate his murder (nor would I mourn it). But Charlie had an audience of millions, and was paid handsomely to spread his fascist propaganda. I opened my nicest bottle of scotch when I heard the news.

            Show me a Charlie Kirk in charge of a country and I’ll show you Benito Mussolini.

              You’re proving my point. Charlie was never in charge of a country, so you can’t possibly compare him to Mussolini.

                Holy cognitive dissonance, Batman! That means there’s nothing comparable? So, which one was the human, and which one was the golfball?

                You can’t compare hate-spewing fascists because they because they weren’t the same RANK!

                I’m honestly impressed; you’ve surpassed Mental Gymnastics and created Mental Parkour.
