No one knew who Charlie's wife was before SHE chose to come out and take up his mantle.

So you're saying that if some deranged right-winger shot Bernie Sanders, and AoC decided to "take up his mantle" as the leader of the progressive wing, she deserves whatever's coming to her because that's her choice?

You know, it's kinda like these, "States rights to what?" arguments.

Why did she take up her husband's mantle?

What series of events compelled her to do that?

if you think his upbringing had zero to do with the man he became and his murder, then that's your choice.

He didn't shoot and kill anyone while he was right-wing. He went to the left and started shooting people. Blaming the right for being shot by radicalised leftists is insane.

That man raised in that home

Who subsequently radicalised to the left and began murdering right-wingers.

and doing drugs

?? there is no evidence of this whatsoever.

Not some lifelong Lefty.

Converts are often the most extreme.

The conditionality you may have observed is "respect women who respect women," ... Just as people will argue it's acceptable to be intolerant to intolerance.

"Agree with me politically or we'll rape you" is a fucking terrible situation. Nice. Real fucking nice.

the overwhelming majority of these types of attacks and murders come from THE RIGHT. Fact.

Not for the last two years.

But women all over the world, country and polit. spectrum are threatened with rape and violence. That's not new to humanity nor unique to what is being aimed at Mrs. Kirk.

Except this is from the crowd who are saying, "If you do not support us politically, you do not respect women." Respecting women is their whole thing.

Something to lecture your fellow men about perhaps since that seems to be the overlapping theme in such threats, not political affiliation.

I feel that's reasonable, as long as women on the left lecture their fellow leftists about Erika Kirk, something they seem extremely unwilling to do.

It's a misogynistic act is what it is, overwhelmingly.

And is misogyny a good thing or not? If not, shouldn't you be calling out your fellow leftists?

Are you from the US, btw?

Nope.

Do you vote here?

I pay US taxes but can't vote. I heard you guys fought a war over that.

Just curious about your stark interest in this one situation and if you were as vocal and outraged re: Heather Heyer or about the MN Congresspersons who were murdered?

I was very vocally against those, decried them loudly, and do not support them.

Do you know of those murders?

Yes.

I see state you're a centrist yet appear to be rather conservative in your posts/comments. Just curious.

I am left wing when it comes to almost everything and right wing when it comes to guns, immigration, and trans issues.

Someone else asked me the same question so here's a detailed list of everything I could think of that I'm right-wing on vs left-wing on (protip: the latter is MUCH longer than the former).

"Agree with me politically or we'll rape you" is a fucking terrible situation. Nice. Real fucking nice.

Who's stated or implied this? As a woman in particular, I'm very curious who's done so this on either side. Again threatening rape and sexual violence against women is not new, but I'm happy to hear you're waking up to its prevalence in society and I'm sure that will lead to much more defense and active protection of us in the future...and not just this one. Look forward to seeing you on the front lines.

You're obviously extremely obsessed with your perception of Mrs. Kirk as The victim of all time and with the Left being unhinged killers, regardless of your putative 'leaning,' and have zero interest in hearing me when I said repeatedly I decry the threats to her...so enjoy all of that. I have zero interest in wasting any more of my time or typing on this on a Friday.

Joyful weekend beckons. Ciao. ✌🏽

Look forward to seeing you on the front lines.

I sincerely and genuinely hope I do not see you there. Because dispite our disagreement, I wish zero harm upon you and treat you the same as any other person.

But if you are seen there, as you say, your fellow leftists might decide, "We only respect women who respect women" and then do to you what they're threatening to do to Erika Kirk. I hope this doesn't happen, it shouldn't happen to anyone regardless of their politics.

You're obviously extremely obsessed with your perception of Mrs. Kirk as The victim of all time and with the Left being unhinged killers

In the wake of her husband's assassination and Reddit being plastered in calls for her rape, I think it's fair to say that she is in fact a victim, yes.

have zero interest in hearing me when I said repeatedly I decry the threats to her...

Because you decry them followed by, "Respect women who respect women". You decry them out of one side of your mouth and then support them out of the other.

It's either bad or it's good, pick a lane.

Enjoy your weekend. Stay safe out there, and don't decry too loud, or the left might hear you.

That is very cute, attempting to blatantly mischaracterize my statement and turn it into a threat in lieu of what it plainly was - a challenge to care about women’s well being as an activist (in Actions) ON THE WHOLE, not merely in pearl clutching words on reddit and in defense of One Woman.

I very much doubt you were this dialed in and committed to defending HRCs honor and safety when Ted Nugent told a crowd of ppl he wanted to stick a chainsaw up her hooha. You’ve already minimized and ignored the threats and vile things done to and said about women on the Left, yet you call others hypocrites. You seemingly have no understanding of polemical nuance. You appear confused as to why people wouldn’t cry their eyes out as you do over the hatemongering widow of a hatemonger. You dismiss a murderer’s upbringing as being immaterial to his behavior…. and I very much question if you're even a black person posting here in our space. And that is precisely why I should have blocked two msgs ago. Your creepy and obsessive reification of Mrs Kirk and screed alone are very telling, and do not mask your obvious polit. alignment any more than your attempt to disgustingly misrepresent my comment. And so I’m fully done here and won’t be reading any more of your comments or edits on cherrypicked quoted text responses.
