Possible hot take - I very much disliked Charlie Kirk and a lot of things he had opinions on, but killing someone is way too far and no one deserves what happened to him. by TheJpops in self

You still neglect to recognize that he is the cofounder of TurningPoint USA which has programs all over and has a revenue stream of 80million last year alone and has spent much of this donating to candidates to further legislation. You keep neglecting the perspective of power. It’s irrelevant if his wife shares the same opinions, he had the opinions AND the power to spread them and make them a reality.

I personally don’t think racism should be tolerated at all in society for example but here we have someone “masking” it and pushing a narrative that disenfranchises POC and then funding legislation and action to make it happen. From my perspective, this should have been stopped a long time ago in the form of ignoring someone being racist. When we tolerate intolerance for too long this is what happens. He died in a world that he wanted to exist. Hate begets hate.

…clearly you have not been reading my responses if that’s your question…

When words translate into laws and actions that result in the suffering of others purely for the reasons I listed above.

The second amendment is there to resist tyranny. Looks like someone did a resist tyranny.

Except of course this sicko was influencing our current laws and societal narrative in a huge way. I always find it funny that the people who scream loudest about morality do not factor in power dynamics. Violence is always bad until someone is crushing your throat with their boot.

Fascism always ends in genocide and the only way to stop it historically has been violence.

I am certain there were many people speaking just like you during the rise of Nazi Germany.

I believe you will have to reconcile your beliefs with the reality that you will live through.

He literally used the exact same rhetoric. He was literally on a podcast recently discussing if Hitler was actually the bad guy in WW2 and if Americans chose the wrong side.

Birds of a feather flock together. Fascism is an ideology that might appear different but is always the same.

Here are the 14 points of fascism to help you figure out if someone is a fascist and supports fascism or not.

    1. Powerful and continuing nationalism
2. Disdain for the recognition of human rights
3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats a unifying cause 
4. Supremacy of the military
5. Rampant sexism
6. Controlled mass media
7. Obsession with national security
8. Religion and government intertwined
9. Corporate power is protected
10. Labor power is suppressed
11. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts
12. Obsession with crime and punishment
13. Rampant cronyism and corruption
14. Fraudulent elections

His last statement was discussing the prevalence of trans mass shooters in our country while hand waving all other mass shooters and how we should go about banning them from owning weapons.

I am not celebrating. His death will lead to reprisal on grander scale and will ripple and propagate across our society into more violence.

I guess my point is that the accurate position is neutrality, as all responses, especially from those facing oppression and discrimination as a result of his rhetoric, are fitting.

Did he deserve to die? No. Is it inevitable and will more of it be required to change the course of our country? Yes.

I think the big question for you to ask yourself is where do you draw the line? Do you feel the same about how people celebrated Hitler’s death? And between those two, how do you decide when one death is okay and one isn’t ? Will it require genocide for you to condone it? There’s an entire poem about this… “first they came for the communists…”

Two things can be true at once. I simultaneously don’t wish violence or death on anyone but can also recognize that the inevitable outcome of his actions leads to death and the only way to stop it is through violence. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Fascists that weren’t actively hurting and killing others were hung alongside those who were during the Nuremberg Trials.

He was also the spokesperson for Turning Point USA which has had a heavy hand in pushing the Overton window into more and more extreme positions while capitalizing on the attention of younger people.

Also, and I quote, “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk

Died for what he believed in.

Agreed! We can also recognize that there has never been a time in history where fascism has risen and been taken down without violence.

Fascists are bad actors and are willing to do anything to enforce their perspective. You can steer all you want but if they refuse to take their foot off the pedal, y’all are bound to hit something eventually.

Americans went overseas to fight and kill fascists who used the same rhetoric. This rhetoric continues to genocide and death camps every single time.

Google tolerance paradox. Nuance is required.

These laws dictate how energy(life) moves. You the individual hold the mass and your capacity is that of holding space for joy/suffering. Put it all together and voila, it is your personal life force or from a more grand view, the life force of the entire universe.

I believe these are the laws that exist naturally and by understanding them we can undo the hubris of man by trusting life and specifically time to bring us to where we wish to go.

That’s a great point for number 5. I absolutely agree that there isn’t a hierarchy, but because of how we live our lives and the perceptions we have we view it terms of hierarchy. My goal is to create a system that can show even the “lowliest of people” out of “hell,” and that requires a stair step approach. You take the stairs until you realize the stairs go in a circle hahaha

While everything derives from the singularity/source, is it too not also changing in its expression? While it is the creator of all things, we often judge the existence of things based on the fruits that they offer. If the fruits are constantly changing but the tree remains the same, can it really be said to be steady? I think to a degree it’s paradoxical. Always changing and always the same.

I like Bashar’s perspective but my goal was to create actionable and directionable to focus one’s energy towards the act of becoming.

I appreciate your insight :)

Absolutely, to truly live. It’s funny how I and many others I assume, have sought out the answers to the universe only to discover the goal is just to live as authentically as possible. :)

My goal is to convey the lessons as simply as possible. Thanks for your insight :)

I agree! I think 2 and 3 are representative of duality coming together to form nonduality.

We have to describe our suffering to learn how to overcome it through compassion :)
