Before anyone goes vouching for this guy, my understanding is that he didn’t see Kirk as pure enough ideologically, IE he wasn’t Nazi enough.
Correct. He was a Groyper. A Nick Fuentes brand Nazi.
Fuentes and Kirk had a feud.
Fascist infighting is a very real phenomenon Americans aren’t taught enough about because talking about how the Nazis were in fact murdering each other to rise through the ranks undermines the narrative that “The Nazis were owning everyone… until America swooped in and saved the day! Oh yeah!”
Truth is, Nazi infighting contributed more to the downfall of Nazi Germany than America did.
Do you have a source on this? I heard initially that he was a groyper but never really saw any evidence backing it up. I would be interested if there were new developments I’ve missed.
This is why we need to understand that you always punch Nazis. I’m tired of cajoling to mods and pretending “fReE sPeEcH” makes Nazis tolerable just to keep from being banned.
Hopefully that’s just my nascent trauma from reddit and I won’t get banned here, lol
“fReE sPeEcH” makes Nazis tolerable
Which is a risk.

Honestly, that’s really just ideological fracturing, scaled up with the degree of radicalisation and readiness to do violence. The more you’re willing to kill the opposition, the more likely you’re willing to also target perceived opposition in your own ranks.
That infighting is probably more visible to us on the left because we see it all the time, while the right wing’s propagandists manage to project an image of unity. Charlie getting Kirked is an example of that facade cracking.
Good.

That should be encouraged.
I’m not disputing this, but I can’t find any verification. Do we actually have any sources on his ideology?
It was initially reported and mentioned online he subscribed to Nick Fuentes. Unfortunately, trying to find sources now a days given how much mush there is out there is harder than I thought. Every site wants a subscription or ad blocker turned off or is questionable.
He doesn’t need to be a saint for it to be apparent he’s a fall guy. Based on what the FBI has told us it’s obvious this guy didn’t do it.
The only conservative nut bag with good aim. Are we sure Erikkka didn’t pay him to off her husband???
So she could be with J.D.? Hell… maybe J.D. was behind it all, lol
Unlikely, she ain’t no couch.
It wasn’t murder. it was a fucking public service. pollination is very bad for the world and his very existence polluted the world.
Pollination is the action of spreading pollen and fertilize other flowers and trees. It’s actually very good for the world.
Don’t use nazi talking points to pollinate, that’s pollution, cancer, even.
corporations have patented plants with pollen that spreads. they use this pollen to force farmers and other plant growers to pay them fees… even for something as simple as cross contamination.
Cool motive, still murder.
True, but there’s a point when i stop caring, like when someone intentionally spreads hate and may be indirectly responsible for murders.
Or a healthcare CEO.But fine, life without parole would do the same.
if you count taking out trash as murder… then you are a serial killer and should be executed on sight.
Cool, it goes to trial then. Maybe his fucked-up wife will testify. That should be quite a show.
Also, this guy deserves max sentence assuming he’s convicted. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend in this case.
The greater of two evils who just decided to eat the lesser
I thought killing Nazis was one of the great American pastimes though? I feel that this was a concrete step towards Making America Great Again.
Thing is that the guy who is suspected of doing it didn’t like Kirk because he wasn’t Nazi ENOUGH for his tastes.
I mean, a Nazi killed Hitler for being such shite at his job…
Nazi Inception
Killing Nazis was a favorite pastime of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. (Fascism encourages killing one’s own allies to rise through the ranks or to “cull the weak”.)
America just showed up late to massacre Japanese civilians (We killed more with normal bombs than with the nukes.), let most of the actual Japanese war criminals in power go, and then claimed we were the ones that killed the Nazis.
Don’t forget the entire cities we set on fire.
Sometimes I really hate the propaganda machine I grew up in
Wells that’s because he didn’t do it, I saw him at the arcade all day that day. He won a giant teddy bear.
The chuds are going to be so mad!
Should plead guilty to fighting for freedom and killin nazis: the true American values. And then spit on the ground every time they say a nazi name.
“… Charlie Kirk…”
Spits on ground
At least the MAGA fucknut did the sane world a favor. Where is the rifle that matches the bullet?
Yeah… he’s worse than Charlie (as hard as that is to believe)

i’m convinced that lemmy users don’t think for even half a second before posting, because wtf are you doing calling a shitstain nazi a hero just because he shot one guy we all hated? hitler shot a guy we all hated, is he a hero, too? fuck sake.
Hitler doesn’t get heroism points for killing Hitler because he also killed the man who killed Hitler. Bastard.
Kirk was worthless small fry who was just a meme for having a freakishly small face. Killing him accomplished nothing even without factoring in that the shooter killed him for not being an “ideologically pure” enough Nazi.
IIRC he was one of fuentes’ followers and viewed kirk as not right-wing enough. So, no.
You recall correctly
I will always upvote this.
Charlie’s neck just did that. His blood pressure was too high from all the hatred and also his tiny face contributed.
Also the dude who didn’t kill him is a fucking weirdo too.
His face was normal and he had a tiny head that was swollen to be bigger than normal from the pressure. His neck was a weak point that finally succumbed to the pressure. That’s why his neck just did that.
Charlie’s neck exploding was the funniest shit. Douchebag deserved it

Lol.
No rule against gore on this sub. And it was pretty tame gore and a historical photo. But whatevs. You do you, boo.
Lol. You have jeffw on your mod team. Now it makes more sense.
I have it saved on my phone and watch when I need to cheer up
Did they ever check for fentanyl in his system? How can we be sure the bullet had any effect?
Kirk, who had no active warrants…
Did he die from the bullet, or simply with the bullet?
Rapid Lead Poisoning.
if you watch the footage real closely you can see he moved his hands in a threatening to me matter
