"Fuck your feelings" crowd sure has a lotta feelings.

While I'm doubtful if it'll help, I reported the site to the registrar and recommend others do the same. abuse@namecheap.com
This is the message I used. (Admittedly, I am not well-versed in legalese and added some links for credibility but I wouldn't be surprised if they called my bluff.)

Fwiw I've had Namecheap for a while and they've been pretty helpful when I needed support. Hopefully they take this seriously

LMAO, reading the submissions on that website are hilarious. Three quarters of the posts on there are super level-headed, saying they don't believe he should have died but they can't mourn or feel sympathy for someone so horrible; IMO, Charlie Kirk absolutely deserved to die. Wanting fascists dead shouldn't be a hot take, it should be the norm.

Yeah he's being treated by the left like the right treats victims of police violence.

Most victims of police violence didn’t help build such a socially damaging machine as TP USA

There's an argument to be made that propaganda to undermine democracy is warfare, so propagandists are fair game.
I'm not quite convinced we're there yet, but there it is.

We have terrorists killing terrorists while other terrorists terrorize people for celebrating that there are fewer terrorists. What a terrible timeline we live in.

Everything Charlie said in his life made it clear that he would have admonished us for caring about his death, and he would have defended the necessity of it. This is his legacy.
If you spend your life saying hateful and morally reprehensible shit you don't get to enjoy a posthumous rewrite that is entirely at odds with your life's work.
It's unfortunate that someone died and it is a disaster for the division and incipient collapse of US society. This doesn't mean Charlie was a good person, or that he will be missed, or that we should care about his particular death versus many others.

I disagree. If a prominent right wing figure such as himself had been assassinated by anyone associated even tangentially with liberal ideology I’d bet hugely that he would he been on the bandwagon blaming the left and instigating outrage. The right have time and again proven themselves hypocrites. His words suggesting we don’t let shootings hijack a narrative or gun deaths being acceptable to maintain the 2nd Amendment would conveniently be forgotten or reinterpreted to the right’s benefit.

My discord username has nothing to do with my lemmy username, and reddit username has nothing to do with the lemmy username, every username I have is unique per the platform. Therefore if you find another Mamdani_Da_Savior on another platform
It ain't me

I mean, I don’t think you should celebrate his death. He’s not gonna hear it, but he still has kids.
DemBoSain@midwest.social · 30 pts · 340d
I'm happy his kids will not be raised by a hate-monger like Charlie Kirk. I'm sad that it took his death to accomplish that. And I'm sad that it probably won't make a single iota of a difference in their upbringing.

Yeah, I'm sure "my dad was killed by liberals" will help with them being less filled with hate.
curbstickle@anarchist.nexus · 14 pts · 340d
Helldiver's 2 memes, dads a 3 percenter, meme costumes - killed by an alt-right groyper is what appears to be accurate.
Fuentes had big issues with Kirk in the past, going back the better part of a decade. They used to interrupt Turning Point events.
Dad got killed by maga who felt some maga weren't maga enough.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 340d
Yeah, it looks like it might have been a fasc-on-fasc faction fight. If that's what it is, it'll be interesting to see the contortions right-wing media will go to to still blame it on the usual scapegoats.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 340d
I read that last sentence as "Dad got killed by Marklar who felt some Marklar weren't Marklar enough".

Its a good question, and I just don't know enough about her to say. They will find out sooner rather than later though I'm sure.
Vupware@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 340d
She had a speech yesterday
curbstickle@anarchist.nexus · 3 pts · 340d
I haven't seen it, if its written somewhere I'd like the link to read it.
That said, I don't think prepared speeches represent the person, especially in a situation like this - Its generally prepared for a reason.
Edit: Just read it.
Well.... Yeah I guess it fits since she married Kirk in the first place. I'm going to guess those kids will be getting the alt-right answers to every question they may have.
Oof.

The shooter was (unsurprisingly) a white Christian male, cis gendered. He hated Nazis and wanted to kill one.

Dude said he’d force his ten year old daughter to carry a pregnancy to term if she were raped. His kids are better off without him if they aspire to be anything other than a trad-wife baby incubator.

Christopher Hitchens was IMO one of the greatest orators of the 20th century.
"Our responsibility is to hate our enemies, and to destroy them before they destroy us"
He was referencing militant religions (or as he put it elsewhere, "people who actually believe the words in their Bronze Age religious texts")

He also supported the Iraq war. I've never understood why people try to canonize that neocon.
