Something that needs to be said
I can't even TELL you how little I ever wanted to think about Charlie fucking Kirk as much as I'm being forced to now. There's no way I would ever have said anything nice about him after his death, because there's nothing nice to say, but I probably would have limited myself to something like "no one deserves to be randomly murdered, but he both lived and died by the sword, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯."
And that's still basically how I feel. However, due to their hysterical efforts to censor and destroy anyone not issuing encomia to this absolute fucking dipshit, I really, seriously--there is nothing ironic in this post--think it's my duty to talk about Kirk in a way that would really piss them off.
Obviously, I'm small-time. There's very little danger that anything I say here would be seen and seized upon by the fascists. Not NO danger, though, and I have to admit: there's a part of me that feels like, whoa, let's cool off here and not say anything TOO provocative. What if a future potential employer sees it and I lose out on an opportunity? What then?
And then I think, no, FUCK that. I'm not goddamn preemptively surrendering to these fuckers. Fuck them. They don't want me to say this? Fuck them; I'm saying it. I think EVERY non-fascist with any kind of online presence should be saying these things, so here it is:
Charlie Kirk was a real shit dude, and it's funny as hell that he was randomly murdered. The only way it could've been more hilarious would've been for the video of his horrible death to include wacky sound effects. I just wish JD Vance had been there and the rad-ass killer had gotten both of them.
There, is that good enough? I'm not gonna lie: I feel legitimately uncomfortable putting these words out there. But that's the reason I need to do it, isn't it? Pretty perverse that the fascists' efforts are the reason it's important to say things like this.
