RE: Charlie Kirk & Iryna Zarutska - The Cold Blooded murders in a Cold Civil War?

Only thing i don't agree with here partially is that places like reddit are celebrating it, most of that would get downvoted to 0 and possibly banned site-wide. I guess it's similar to hive in many ways minus the ban thing due to blockchain and most frontends not bothering unless it's a dmca strike.
Twitter on the other hand is far crazier and for sure that may be happening there in every tweet and replies liked to the top on most tweets. It's like they wanna prove they are pro freedom of speech but aside from notes there's no moderation happening so it's mostly crazy accounts being loud and others going along with it seeing how far they can take it.
Tragedy in both cases indeed. First one is far worse to me personally due to how innocent and a nobody she was. If I was living in the US I'd generally be scared of public places seeing the systematic failure of the publics health possibly due to capitalism.
Yeah I suppose Twitter but also TikTok and others, these are flooded with donkey-like braying of cheerful celebrations for both of these murders. It's mental.
I felt much sadder with the first one, when you see her reaction close up and you just imagine she's your daughter in the future or something... damn.
But at the same time, Charlie seemed to have a perfect family who will now suffer for the rest of their lives which is pretty horrid to imagine. USA is an absolute mess.
Luckily I didn't see the video showing the actual stabbing and reaction, don't really have the heart for that anymore. I'm passed the r/watchpeopledie curiosity days 😅
Yeah me too, annoyed I saw it just innocently scrolling by -__-
Unfortunately I did see the kirk one though, wasn't even looking for it, looked quite bad like it hit his spine as well.
Speaking of reddit:
Those downvotes speak volumes! (I've also been seeing an absolute ton of open celebrations there too)
It's hard to say, both upvotes and downvotes are easy to be purchased these days, and the anonymity of them is also a way to let people condone dumb stuff they wouldn't do publicly. So while it is quite wtf I wouldn't say it says much, think of like all the botviewers on streams and websites that themselves inflate numbers to pretend there's more active users than there really are because shareholders.
Maybe, but reddit is famously a left-wing place, and it's essentially normalised now to celebrate such things much like the assassination of that insurance CEO, the killer was practically held up across reddit as a hero to be revered for centuries to come for... doing what the company required him to do. And the Trump attempt, another hero of reddit... sigh.
But yeah reddit is nothing compared to the others; twitter, bluesky etc
They do still censor a lot, i guess it's just the people, luigi was an angel compared to this murderer to them so everyone was taking his side due to who the victim was a ceo of and previous history. I mean I understand what's happening but it's kind of gray area stuff, would be interesting to see how that would go over here. Downvote wars potentially.
Yeah people would get way more butthurt here with real - kinda - consequence heh
