American Christofascism is a death cult. Change my mind.

    “I’ll tell you that you’re not allowed to celebrate his death, while I go over to this tent and celebrate his death”.

    Can we just start publicly call them weird to their faces again? Please!?!? It worked and started to break through their silly imaginary world where they own limbs at a convention for weirdos and kiddie-fiddlers! I don't know why they stopped!

    Wow, that's completely tasteless. You would think that's what the murderer would want to see and visit. Good job guys.

    I feel like Charlie Kirk should be nominated for a Darwin award. Dude literally campaigned for guns, said it was Ok that some people die from gun violence and then got shot while sitting under a tent labelled "prove me wrong".

    he had children

    EDIT: which means he cannot get the Darwin award. this is not defending him.

    Everyone always screws that up. The Darwin award doesn't just mean the person died from their own stupidity, it means they did the world a favor and removed themselves from the gene pool before passing on their genes. By that note, people who are unable to reproduce also cannot be eligible for the award.

    This is grotesque, I couldn't imagine thinking this is normal or okay. These people are so detached from reality.

    they're creating a new religion before our very eyes. best to get versed in discussing theologies because that's the propaganda language they speak and how we'll deprogram enough of them to survive this

    "And Charlie Kirk would have been sitting right here when he was shot in the fucking neck."

    Churches have a statue of a man being tortured to death on a cross prominently placed within them. So it's kinda on brand.

    It's a death cult. Makes sense for them to have a shrine to death.

    you know, before that troll gurgled his last slur the term "getting kirked" was more likely to mean you're being fucked by a spaceship captain.

    I like the new meaning instead.

    What a fitting memorial to Charlie Kirk's final words, when he said we shouldn't care so much about gun violence because so many of the people getting shot aren't worth getting upset over. That's an important lesson in irony.

    Honestly, this doesn't feel different to me than using the cross as a holy symbol for Christians. Both are very weird culty behaviours, but not much different. Although at least Christianity has the centuries long traditions, history, and international numbers to justify their behaviour. The tent thing without that context makes it extra weird.

    "murdered" or "had his own beliefs regarding gun control practiced"?

    To be fair, people are paying for cross necklasses after their last religious leader died on one...

    Still weird though. I like the hbomberguy phrased it; 'how do people know I'm part of the jesus fan club if I'm not repping his holy merch??'

    Right up there with "We're all domestic terrorists" from a few years ago.

    I feel like people who support this type of politics are emotionally blunted and stunted. They'll use his death as a tool of martyrdom for their movement, which this is a prime example of, but I don't really feel like anyone loved him or mourned him in any genuine sense. I think it's because they don't really have any attachment to anyone in a real sense. I'm not saying that other people of other beliefs don't use grief as a performative tool either, but I feel like most of the problem with conservatives at the root of it all is blunted emotions.
