I think it is because it’s a death of a man, a man with a family. I don’t think his wife or kids would want people on the internet pissing on his grave. I understand now having empathy for him but what about his family? Have empathy for them
Did you read my comment? I don’t care how you feel about him, but he had a family. Like how would you feel if your lover got murdered and everyone was making fun of your lovers death?
But… he said empathy was a harmful concept. So, by lacking empathy for him, we are giving him the respect he would have wanted in life. And the respect he gave to leftists who were also subject to political violence. It’s only right, right?
I’m not saying have empathy for him, I don’t, but if my lover was murdered I wouldn’t want the internet to be making fun of them the day after. It’s disheartening to see how rude we are to people that we disagree with
If he was such a horrible person as Charlie he wouldn't be my loved one. Thousands of people die of violence, that he helped promote, every day... So no I really don't care about his family.
I never said your lover was charlie, just that your lover got murdered and everyone’s making fun of them. People love others for a multitude of reasons, why you love someone is irrelevant, what I’m saying is you wouldn’t be happy if the person you loved was murdered and then made fun of.
I’m not cheering for anyone to die, no one deserves to be murdered. The fact that you can’t show empathy for someone else like his family just because you disagree with him is disheartening
Half of his family is babies… you’re really hating on babies right now? Even then you don’t have to share someone’s view to like them. Even then it’s still another human losing their lover. I dont care who your lover is, what they believe, if you lost someone who meant a lot to you I would feel bad for you, if you lost your dog you would feel bad, why is a human any different? Just because you disagree?
I am not hating on babies, I just don't care about them. Every horrible human has loved once. Hitler had loved once, do we need to be respectful to him because someone out there loved and cared for him? Why don't you worry about the actual children that are being murdered and prosecuted thanks to the things he said.
Also he is not just disagreeing. He literly want people like me to die.
This is a lie. The overwhelming social media posts that glorify death come from the left. Social media is overflowing with articles and references to people getting fired from their jobs for it.
"The new communications strategy is not to do what Bill Clinton used to do, where he would say, "I feel your pain." Instead, it is to say, "You're actually not in pain." So let's just, little, very short clip. Bill Clinton in the 1990s. It was all about empathy and sympathy. I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That's a separate topic for a different time."
But sure, keep sharing things out of context to fit your narrative.
Your argument and the rest of the smooth brains on this sub and website is “We don’t have to have empathy because he didn’t believe in it” but in reality you’re just using the quote out of context to broadcast how shitty you are as a person.
This has nothing to do with his political views whatsoever. The brutal video of him getting shot, and all the blood, reminded me of a scene from Evangelion. Is it disrespectful? Maybe. Did right-wingers make fun of the deaths of leftists? Yes. And you know what? They have families too.
I’m not justifying any sides, I just find that the rampant memes about his death to be disheartening, on r/lazerpig there’s a lot who are justifying it, I don’t think anyone should be making fun of someone’s death right after they died.
