Extremists and an anonymously run website are posting identifying details about people accused of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats.
This is why I always preach keeping yourself anonymous online. Or using John Smith like names when you have to.
Some online security tips
- Never use your real name
- Never list your employer
- Always use a different username for each platform
- If the platform forces you to use a real name, make one up
My discord username has nothing to do with my lemmy username, and reddit username has nothing to do with the lemmy username, every username I have is unique per the platform. Therefore if you find another Mamdani_Da_Savior on another platform
It ain’t me
And this is why we need to arm ourselves 😮💨 I used to hate guns, but if republicans are willing to murder themselves…
Everything Charlie said in his life made it clear that he would have admonished us for caring about his death, and he would have defended the necessity of it. This is his legacy.
If you spend your life saying hateful and morally reprehensible shit you don’t get to enjoy a posthumous rewrite that is entirely at odds with your life’s work.
It’s unfortunate that someone died and it is a disaster for the division and incipient collapse of US society. This doesn’t mean Charlie was a good person, or that he will be missed, or that we should care about his particular death versus many others.
I disagree. If a prominent right wing figure such as himself had been assassinated by anyone associated even tangentially with liberal ideology I’d bet hugely that he would he been on the bandwagon blaming the left and instigating outrage. The right have time and again proven themselves hypocrites. His words suggesting we don’t let shootings hijack a narrative or gun deaths being acceptable to maintain the 2nd Amendment would conveniently be forgotten or reinterpreted to the right’s benefit.
Apparently posting quotes of Kirk’s can be considered a celebration of his death.
They’re always looking for an excuse.
I don’t know who this dude was, but I just heard him talking about “his” stance on ukraine and I want to say that he was a piece of shit.
Celebrating like this?
I’d like to take this time to suggest we disarm any religious white men that grew up in a culturally conservative families. They very clearly make up the overwhelming majority of shooters. Raise the age to buy a gun to 30, but ban all Christians from buying them if they have children or are planning to have children.
Snowflakes
Wish a conservative would. I celebrated with glasses of wine. It was a nice day too.
Surprised we haven’t heard from the DDOS furries yet.
I wouldn’t say I celebrate it, but there aren’t many worse people this could have happened to.
Why only allegedly?
The “fuck your feelings” people suddenly have feelings.
What a bunch of snowflakes, the best snowflakes, one might say
