raisedbymooglesLook I get why people object to celebrating the deaths of hated public figures. The guy who makes a big production of dancing on the grave of your Uncle Walter because Uncle Walter slept with the guy's wife is The Asshole even if he does have a legitimate grievance that never satisfactorily got addressed when Uncle Walter was still alive. And you know when Biden shuffles off this mortal coil shit's gonna get extremely ugly over in Conservapedia World. To say nothing of Obama.
But like, we're in a place now where a bunch of extremely powerful people are out here murdering millions with the flick of a chainsaw pen and I know, I know there's things ordinary people can do and are doing to stop them or at least mitigate the damage but those things are hard and slow and incomplete and it can feel like you're insects trying to defy a steamroller. There are just no consequences to these people anymore.
Well, here's a fucking consequence. Be a fascist? Here's how you'll be remembered. And you can't pay your way out of it and you can't stochastic terrorism your way out of it. Your grave is destined to be a public toilet, your name is destined to be a curse and the only way out of it is to Change Your Ways and we all know you'd sooner flay yourself alive than stop being cruel to people you'll never meet and can never hold you to account in life.
Tbh I think this is what shook the right the most about Charlie Kirk's death. They may (or may not) have been legitimately sad and upset about his death, but they also couldn't wait to make him a martyr they could shake in our faces and make us shut up, because aren't we supposed to be the nice sweet tolerant ones who think every human life has value? Well, that didn't work so well, did it?
So yeah. Rest in piss, Lindsey. Here's hoping McConnell and Trump follow you soon.
