No one should die for their views, but I'm a firm believer you play with fire you can get burned.

Let's not pretend Charlie Kirk was some angel of a man, he ran a network pushing some very divisive and racist ideas. He pushed white supremacist ideologies, spewed a lot of hateful and racist rhetoric. This is the same guy who claimed that empathy is bullshit, proposed that black people were too stupid to attain the skills and education to enter career fields such as being a pilot, and that if you saw a black pilot it was simply because "DEI", the now classic dog whistle of the modern era.

Imagine being a young black kid and hearing this asshole come to your school trying to indoctrinate other kids by spreading that type of bullshit? Fuck that.

Words matter, and when you push out hate, hate can come back your way. I feel for the man's family, but he died playing this culture war game to his own economic benefit that is destroying society.

There is an irony is many ways that he died while trying to spread a falsehood that gun violence is perpetrated by "trans" people and "gangs" aka negros, meanwhile 99% of mass shootings are conducted by white men, notably the man who shot him.
