As more division happens, more control happens.
While we fight over frivolous politics, they laugh.

There are those of us who are fighting over the life or death shit though, not the frivolous stuff
Charlie Kirk was a genocidal science denialist
I would have followed him on nostr, not because I agree with this position, but because open dialogue in an open society is the only way to correct misinformation.
I once saw a news story in the 90's about a black dude who became friends with a white supremacist.
The white supremacist changed his mind. This is the main reason I am against censorship.
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. We cannot have an open society in electronic discourse manipulated by digital overlords.
Open dialog on nostr is what made me aware he may have been killed by Israel for turning against them. I feel dumb for "celebrating" his death now (but I had also been saying I hoped he would survive)
This is a genuine conundrum for me. When we do comparative suffering. Clearly palestinians and others in the middle east are suffereng and dying by the thousands , its unbelievable suffering. But one man who people kindof knew who he was but gets suddenly killed, it grabs everyones' attention. I think become desensitized by the mass killings because of the numbers. Still we dont want to encourage killing or violence. This is a weird thing we humans do when we are not in a dangerous environment already. Why do you say that Charlie was a genocidal science denialist? In what way??
He supported Israel's genocide in Gaza, but he may have been breaking out of that and turning against Israel at the time he was killed, according to some people on nostr
He was a denialist about climate change and I think also the COVID pandemic, both things with life or death impact
I see. Some people would see him as "dangerous" and wanted him out
Israel isn't always shy to take out citizens of other nations either and they are good at it. What I find sad is how im seeing all these people cheer for his death... I dont rhink he deserved that, no matter his political opinions, bc those can change.
It's too late for a lot of people to change their political opinions, Nazism has gone too far. But I agree we shouldn't celebrate his death

Welcome to the system. Everyone's a victim. Doesn't matter, black or white, it hates you all. Here inside the system, violence is a symptom. Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong. - Tom Macdonald "The System"
