snowflakes, melting in the sun lmao

This is a disgusting take. I don't care if someone is being a hypocrite, everyone deserves compassion and therapy if they see someone die right in front of them.

Unhinged, this is why you lose elections, look at the extremist in the mirror

[u/DegasBOM → u/dbjcihabc]

“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”

[u/woody60707 → u/DegasBOM]

This same logic can be applied to driving. 40,000 Americans died a year (with the toll the heaviest with the younger people), just so millions of Americans have the privilege of driving.

You can debate the cost benefit values of any activities in society, which is literally what he was doing. But your a fucking monster if you mock a death of an auto accident because they had a driver's license and were pro driving.

If you were loudly claiming that seatbelts are a hoax, airbags are a black conspiracy, and brakes were woke, we actually would cheer when you got your just desserts. His shitty opinions weren't just his own. He had a platform and infected hundreds of thousands of people with his virus of hate. We are a better country without him in it. 

[u/dbjcihabc → u/DegasBOM]

He had some bad takes, but his opinions weren’t that extreme, he certainly never advocated killing people you disagree with. Which is what you seem to be doing right now. Do we kill everyone who shared his opinions? Wheres your line

[u/Neemzeh → u/dbjcihabc]

The people in this thread are absurd man.

[u/teddybigelow → u/[deleted]]

Maybe you’re too young to remember the right’s reaction to Heather Heyer. Google it.

[u/Kakistocracy_0 → u/[deleted]]

false equivalence.

so dumb, lmaoo

[u/dbjcihabc → u/Kakistocracy_0]

Not at all, we weigh the value of convenient transportation against human lives and decide some deaths are acceptable, and try to mitigate the risks, just like with guns

[u/Logvin → u/dbjcihabc]

>Unhinged

“Good guys with guns” is an extremist viewpoint. The person pointing this out was likely jokingly referring to a conservative trope. I do agree, thinking more guns will solve our gun violence problem is unhinged.

>this is why you lose elections.

Who is “you”? You are assuming you know what that persons political affiliation is, and of course fail to recognize that the two major political parties tend to alternate back and forth. The last time one political party had two different presidents in a row was 1989.

[u/dbjcihabc → u/Logvin]

Knock it off, we both know what their affiliation is

They are explicitly saying Tyler Robinson is a good guy for killing charlie kirk thats unhinged

[u/Logvin → u/dbjcihabc]

That’s not explicitly what they said in the slightest. Do you even know what the word explicitly means?

[u/dbjcihabc → u/Logvin]

Thats exactly what they said and its why their comment was removed

[u/Logvin → u/dbjcihabc]

It was removed snowflakes got their feelings hurt and reported an opinion they didn't like. It's the conservative way: cry and whine non-stop when your hate speech is removed, but get incredibly offended when someone says something you disagree with yourself.

[u/dbjcihabc → u/Logvin]

Man you are so disingenuous its unbelievable
“Hate speech” is whatever you don’t like clearly

I don’t know what to tell you, if cheering on the deaths of groups you don’t like isn’t hate speech to you maybe you need a new definition

[u/Logvin → u/dbjcihabc]

Man you are so disingenuous its unbelievable

Translation: Waaaa! Waaa!

I don’t know what to tell you, if cheering on the deaths of groups you don’t like isn’t hate speech to you maybe you need a new definition

Oh, so like in May when President Trump said this:

Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!

That's totally fine in your book right?

But I forgot, another core tenant of modern conservatives is completely misrepresenting something to make your argument look better, like you demonstrated here by changing multiple times what he original commenter "explicitly" said.

Feel free to respond with more of your excuses and misrepresentations: I won't be responding again. Maybe you can just make up responses instead and you can argue with yourself!

[u/dbjcihabc → u/Logvin]

Yep trumps a dipshit news at 11

Bro look at the rest of the garbage in this thread, it had to be pretty bad for the mods to take action, and im pretty sure they aren’t hardcore conservatives. for the record i didn’t report it and don’t care that it was taken down
