So killing is not okay except when its internet-approved vigilantism?

Example: “Polititian commutes death sentences” Lemmy be like “good”, but then when “Politician condemns assassination” Lemmy have a problem with condeming political violence?

(Like Gavin Newsom commutes all death row immates in California vs when Democratic polititians condemned Luigi Mangione)

Or are these different groups of Lemmings?

    See Charlie Kirk’s murder. He wasn’t the state, he didn’t kill anybody, yet his murder is openly relished.

    I love how several of the commenters disagreeing with you just result in reinforcing your point.

    He disagreed with their “state”, so his assassination is celebrated.

    But, yea, this is the overall thread. For many, it’s a team sport and being on the right team means your murdering is OK.

      It’s a flawed point, as many of those comments also pointed out.

      But, yea, this is the overall thread.

      People who aren’t perpetuating half-truths and whole lies like “Charlie Kirk disagreed with MAGA and Trump”?

      For many, it’s a team sport and being on the right team means your murdering is OK.

      Charlie Kirk did indeed cheer when ICE killed people.

      Kirk was OK with people being shot. “Small price to pay for freedom”. Bet he changed his mind right after he was the one. I do not celebrate his shooting, but I prefer him being shot over innocent people. And I know you understand that but decide to be a cunt. Don’t be like Kirk.
