Rest in piss Charlie Kirk.
😵💫
Every dead fascist is a cause for celebration! I hope the next corpse is orange-faced.
If your company has control over what you’re allowed to say, you do NOT, in fact, have a good job.
I work for the elected officials of my left leaning state government. I think Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit. The violence saddens me, but I am not sorry he is gone. I still have to observe decorum, no matter my feelings.
IMO it’s fully decorated to say “I was taught that if you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, don’t say anything. For that reason, I will not be talking about Charlie Kirk.”
Decorum forcing people to only say nice things about a piece of shit person because any criticism or expressing happiness that he is gone being misconstrued as supporting the way in which he died is bullshit though.
Being forced to say nice things about him would, indeed, mean you have a shitty job. Consequences for saying negative things about him is different. On social media that’s identified with me or easily traced back to me I say nothing about Charlie Kirk. Lemmy, on the other hand…
No one is forcing me to say nice things about him at work. I just can’t openly talk trash about him at my job, which means I say nothing. Even without being in a government job, don’t most people avoid politics in the work place anyway? I’m here on Lemmy because my comments can’t be linked to my actual life and job.
Never believe that [bigots] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [bigots] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you were a weapon of the enemy in your life.
Pastor Howard-John Wesley on Charlie Kirk’s death.
Jobs under capitalism are just wage slavery/servitude. The “privileges” you are allowed will change with time or workers movements. But the relationship of exploitation hasn’t changed here. The level of control in the existing exploitative relationship is what is changing. It’s the relationship of capitalism evolving into what we call fascism.
It doesn’t have to be good good. Just good enough to keep your chronically ill child insured.
If my company is looking at my Lemmy posts all I can say is what a huge waste of time and resources.
There’s a concerted effort by a group of trolls/facists to scrape the web then doxx the commenters and have meemaw and pop pop call customer service crying.
Or to directly contact C suite in cases where that’s possible.
The woke right is really punching thier own nuts
This is why you shouldn’t have social media under your real name lol
The idea that people ever say anything on the Internet that the whole world can see, and do it in their own name, seems ridiculous to me.
If something is in my real name, it’s only for work purposes, like say Linked In. And in that case I’m only ever posting there if I need a job or something.
I wouldn’t talk about my favourite sports team, let alone anything political, if it were in my own name.
Yeah I’d probably be in a lot of trouble now if I were to. It’s kind of ironic, because the right used to bitch and moan about the left “canceling everything and limiting free speech”. Who’s doing that now?
They always have engaged in cancel culture. But it only bothered them when it was against them.
srsly. I never even did. And anyhow, make a sock puppet.
I probably should but at this point it’s been so long I’m not sure it even matters anymore.
Comment on Kirk all you want. I’ve tried.
There is absolutely no way logic, reason, history, or even the man’s own awful words that will penetrate the thick, fact-resistant, hate-filled skulls of the right. They want blood, they make up completely wild BS about the “violence” of the left, and they don’t want to hear anything about any other shootings that right wingers did.
It’s not that hard to keep your social media separate from your actual identity. I mean, I’m not posting anything they could use against me on my fucking Facebook. And all my other social media doesn’t lead to my real identity in any way.
I deleted facebook Jan 2025 and scrubbed everything that was there. Same with reddit. I have a tiktok account just so I can watch videos but post nothing.
my whole company laughed at his death :3
i love yurop
Uhhhhhh if you have mainstream social media and are posting on it, I’m sorry but I have no sympathy.
Get off the apps and profit driven social media! It’s melting your brain. Plus you are giving money to the absolute worst people ever.
This is the definition of political violence. The right would never settled for being silenced this way.
