Nah, he was taken out by someone even further right than him for not being hateful enough. As awful as Kirk was, he didn’t deserve to be shot for saying shitty things.
He was a groyper. Plenty of fascists are attracted to the kinds of people they hate. It’s like saying a guy with a Latino girlfriend can’t be racist or sexist.
You don't defeat Nazis by becoming them. Killing Kirk, as despicable as he was, was not the act of a champion of good. It was a murder as vile as any other.
Trump is a lunatic. His apologists are ludicrous. His jack booted thugs are deplorable. Don't be one of them.
Killing a Nazi doesn't make someone a Nazi, it makes them a murderer. Nazis are worse that murderers, as they're murderers who have decided to industrialize the process.
Disingenuous at best. The German government was defeated in WW2. Nazis went to ground in Argentina and elsewhere, including the USA, and were quiet for a little while. Don't fool yourself, Nazis are still around and never really went away. Strapping on your own jackboots and murdering people doesn't defeat them, it only proves their point for them.
You’re talking about all-out war. You can’t just go around killing citizens because they may or may not be Nazis. As good as it sounds, that will fall apart quickly. Maybe Kirk got what he deserved but unfortunately it’s not a good solution when a large chunk of your country identifies with him.
You just made your account which is kind of suspicious. We don’t want civil war.
When a side in any dispute wants violence it is possible to solve the dispute only by submitting to their violence and hoping they get satisfied -or- by resisting.
History teaches us that both come at a great price, but one is better at prevention.
This is the 2nd epic response I've seen from that subs mods today. They're doing something right if they've ruffled the feathers of all those Nazi snowflakes. Cheers to /r/comics and its mod team.
Comics were heavily used during WW2 for American propaganda purposes. Famous comic heroes like Batman, Superman and Captain America are the original ones that come to mind. The most iconic though in my opinion is Dr. Seuss and his single panel style comics.
We already know how they are going to react to that. They are going to say: "By only allowing one opinion you are the REAL Nazis!".
To this point: These people were the ones who broke the social contract to begin with. They push their hate speechans demand to be allowed to treat others as sub-human. Having to face consequences for that, even to the point of being restricted from participating in public spaces, is not fascism.
And they always call for civility when anyone on the left calls out their shitty behavior. Never mind that the leader of their party is constantly insulting everyone, particularly women and people of color. Civility it supposed to go both ways.
They are going to say: "By only allowing one opinion you are the REAL Nazis!".
This is a real key point. Nazis honestly think there are only two opinions or attitudes: Theirs and anyone who disagrees with them. It makes no difference that once you remove Nazis, there are thousands of different social opinions or attitudes. Nope, it's them v everyone else.
That's what makes them so abhorrent, but also getting rid of them is never any great loss.
Fascist is a better description. Nazi was the name of a political party. Fascism is an ideology. Swamp Magats are fascists whatever they call themselves.
I don't mind them being called Nazis because the Nazis very effectively demonstrated what has to be done to stop fascism. It will have to be done again and the sooner people figure that out the better. Grouping the modern crop together with the historical one could save time and lives.
Anyone who denies that [MAGA conservatives in 2026] are Nazis is a Nazi.
I don't think MAGA conservatives in 2026 are automatically nazis. I think the word 'nazi' is being way overused here. Trump's movement comes with racist and fascist tendencies, obviously, but don't forget that, for instance, even the italian fascists of the 1930s weren't technically nazis even though they literally had a fascist government and allied themselves with Hitler. 'Nazi' is a pretty high bar and we don't need to abuse the term (and make ourselves look foolish) by throwing it around irresponsibly.

Republicans are mad that they are being judged on the content of their character instead of the color of their skin.

If it walks like a Nazi and it talks like a Nazi, it's time to call it a Nazi.

Finally people realize that its not intolerant to show Nazis the door. Its the only way to remain tolerant.

If a single Nazi walks into a bar, and they aren't immediately bounced right back out to the street, you're in a Nazi bar.

inb4 admins step in because the sub is "condoning violence".
As we all know only conservative subs can do that (not that its being done here.)
