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.

Same! I think curiosity and sleep depravity got the better of me when i sought out the video.

Then i instantly and continuously regretted watching it as it was fucking foul! I cant get the image of the neck snap and blood exploding from his neck our of my head.

I absolutely despised this guy, but watching anybody die should have a natural effect on anyone.

I cant get behind this sentiment of wanting to watch him die for pleasure. That makes me think there are a lot more sick people on this platform than i had previously believed.

    I absolutely agree. And the smug self righteousness here is even worse than reddit. People really disappoint me sometimes. This feeling I have right now is similar to the two times trump won. I always thought people were better than this.

    Then just when you cannot think more badly of people, some dick will come along and tell you that you support fascism. Because that's clearly what being disgusted by watching a murder means, right? The lack of empathy for even the living is palpable.
