They died for what they believed in, gotta respect that.

Charlie Kirk died doing what he loved.

Getting shot.

The syllables in that last bit i had a hard time fitting the song. But I made it work.

jballs@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 127d

Yeah it's a bit much, but you can't put limits on art. Not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping someone else would pick up the thread with Bill Montgomery. Something like:

It's like starting a "grass roots" student group

When you're seventy two

tanisnikana@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 127d

I’m so posthumously proud of them. Real men of convictions they are.

Is it irony or poetic justice?

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 127d

Yes.

Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 127d

For song purposes it's ironic

kokesh@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 127d (4 replies)

Love this so much. They died by what they stood for. Now they are in hell having free heating for eternity. Thoughts and prayers 🙏

ERIKA Kirk did celebrate his death

NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 127d

Wouldn't expect any less from a cia asset, that's kinda their entire thing.

Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 125d

With Super-Duper Moral Vance, no less.

When jerks like this die (Limbaugh, Cheney, etc.), I always have a slight regret at being atheist. Upon hearing the news of their deaths, I often take a moment and imagine that if I were a believer, I would be taking pleasure from knowing that the monster is now entering Hell where he is is being sentenced to an eternity of fiery torture.

But, alas, no. They're just dead. Not nearly as satisfyingly dramatic, but good enough.

FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 127d (1 reply)

It was deliciously ironic.

Unfortunately the mania they kicked up for cash lives on.

Smaile@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 125d

thats a good thing, it tarnishes they're reputation and goals. the Charly Kerk song is a good indication of that.

libre_warrior@lemmy.ml · 12 pts · 127d (2 replies)

he also claimed he was pro life

trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 127d (1 reply)

Why did he die then? Curious.

samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 127d

Pro Covid-12

Live by the sword… Reap what you sow.

ilinamorato@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 127d

Checkmate, atheists.

DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 127d (3 replies)

"died to"?

Died from? Died due to?

GandalftheBlack@feddit.org · 4 pts · 127d

It's perfectly valid

I'm picturing it like a Dark Souls boss fight

soul@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 127d

YOU DIED...

RagingRobot@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 127d

Dreams can come true!

PunnyName@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 127d (2 replies)

This could be a Magic card.

But it shouldn't. We should see less of these dead fascists, not more. Ignore their existences. Let them fade into obscurity.

trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 127d (1 reply)

As long as fascists exist, I prefer seeing dead ones over live ones.

For letting them fade into obscurity, I agree to a degree. But it is a two edged sword. Because the only thing that enables those vile individuals to take power in all sorts of places over and over again is because people forget about fascism and how it works.

Remember how one of the most prolific examples of fascist rulers came to power. Hitler himself didn't just grab power. He tried to do so, was convicted and jailed for his attempted coup, wrote a book detailing all of his plans and insane ideology while in jail, was released early, and was subsequently allowed to run for office again. Once his party gained an alarming number of votes, conservatives collaborated with him, thinking they could control him, and made him Chancellor. The rest is history. See any parallels between how the Weimar Republic turned into Nazi Germany and some other country acquiring a fascist ruler in this recent time?

PunnyName@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 125d

I'd prefer to see zero fascists. Ideally because they died. Once dead, forget them.

AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 127d

Good to know life is still keeping a sense of humor through all this

Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 126d

It's like RAAAAYYYIIIIAAAAIIIN on your wedding day!

OldChicoAle@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 127d

LMAO. Good riddance

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 127d (1 reply)

Don't ya think? A little too ironic...

0x0@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 127d

...and yeah they really don't think.

DragonAce@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 127d

Its down right poetic.

"Died to?" Unusual syntax.
