    We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

    edit to the replies - Holy hell this place has turned into reddit on a bad.

      If this is such a bad thing, then why did Ben Shapiro cancel his speaking arrangements today? All these grifters are freaking out because they never expected to face a consequence for anything they said or did

        All this boohooing about his family. His wife chose to marry him because he’s a reactionary racist transphobic piece of shit. Meaning she herself is one. The only people I feel bad for are the young kids

      You are literally the one expressing the mainstream (and only tolerated) opinion on reddit and doing the cringe reddiqetue thing where you edit your comment to insult others without actually elaborating

        I’m sorry. Being vitriolic and spreading more hate is the only right way to react? I’m glad he is gone, and causes right wing shits like him to realise they are not immune to consequences, is great. I just hate the way people are sharing his views in the process. They are just doing his work for him.

          Yeah so hate to break it to you but the real world isn’t like disney movies and there’s no holy battle between good and evil. Yes, I celebrate when active rapists and serial killers get killed and I also celebrate when fascists get killed.

          It’s not praxis but it’s still a nice bonus regardless because these are people actively inflicting harm on the actually innocent people whose lives you seem to completely trivialize. If you think that’s a bad thing your priorities are grossly misaligned.
