There were some things he said I completely agreed with.

There were some things he said that I completely disagreed with.

I despair at the fact that there are people that will celebrate/condone the murder of someone based on the opinions.

Absolutely.

Anyone saying 'but, but, but' here needs to have a hard think about what they're advocating.

At a man being shot in the throat, in front of how many college kids?

In front of his own kids 😢

I’d heard conflicting stories if they were there or not.

I wanted to believe they weren’t 😔

I’m creating alarm?
Not the people posting themselves dancing, singing, laughing with joy? At a man being shot in the throat, in front of how many college kids?

But it’s me that’s sowing division?

It’s just an ‘illusion’ I’ve made up?

I’m not allowed to express that the sheer joy being displayed, so openly, is absolutely fucking insane?

I have to moderate my uneasiness because you, the apparent fucking arbiter of morals and motive, has decided so?

No.

No they are not creating alarm. They are exercising their free speech, as Charlie Kirk wanted them too.

You are the one interpreting it as disgust and fear, and then creating posts pointing that out. That is creating alarm.

That is your choice to do that, instead of shaking your head and blocking them.

Charlie Kirk chose to build a platfrom on having controversial discussions to get attention and generate personal wealth. After being shot, there will be some people for whom he was extremely judgemental about to (generate his personal wealth), that will also want to get attention by behaving in a controversial way possibly even to generate their own personal wealth.

This is the current state of social media- you have to enrage to get engagement.

Yes, extremism exists on both ends of the political spectrum. But I’d argue that American right wing extremism tends to result in greater losses of liberty for the poor, vulnerable and underprivileged.

American left-wing extremism tends to involve expanding freedoms or benefits to groups in ways some consider excessive (e.g., abortion, trans rights, gay marriage, universal healthcare, immigration) which can result in economic instability and friction in communities. However what America considers extreme left is generally moderate-center in Europe. The American left also has a tendency to label critics of iliberal policies as “deplorable”, "bigoted", etc- which shuts down meaningful conversation.

By contrast, American right-wing extremism, often seeks to dehumanise minorities and vulnerable groups, and actively strips away their rights, through policies and rhetoric reminiscent of the beginnings of fascism and segregation, for example:

Women: restricting abortion, undermining maternity rights, and promoting values/policies that limit women's career and lifestyle choices.
The poor: cutting access to healthcare and imposing tariffs without concern for economic impact; limiting employee rights
Black people & minorities: denouncing the civil rights movement, denying the legacy of slavery, using stereotypes to justify institutional racism and systemic bias (i.e. greater rates of incarceration of minorities for the same offence), and dismissing accomplished minority figures as mere “diversity hires.”
Immigrants: dehumanising immigrants through rhetorics that compares them to vermin and blames them for societal problems; deporting legitimate citizens and/or people who have contributed to American society for many years without issue; viewing white people as the only true Americans leading to different treatment of white and minority immigrants
Gun control: refusing to regulate firearms, even though the resulting deaths far outnumber those supposedly “protected” by the right to bear arms.

This is my view, but I'm sure many will disagree.

“Trans rights” in the way many leftists interpret it, is a problem for society and especially for women’s rights, which amounts to more than just “friction between communities”. Also, that’s clearly an AI summary, can you not express in your own words?

Some people use ChatGPT to better express the point they want to get across. It doesn’t make their contribution to a discussion any less valid.

It matters because LLM are not critical thinkers in the same way as humans are, and could possible make things up which woudl undermine the posters credibiltiy.

See this video to explain.

AMansAManForAllThat · 11/09/2025 21:35

I am relieved to see that posters here are, as usual, being level headed- Disgusted at the attack on free speech and the murder, while disagreeing with most/all of his opinions.

I don’t think it’s appropriate to attack each other on here for differences of opinion, or to blame women here for the vitriol elsewhere.

I agree. And there are many men who think exactly the same about women who speak up against the trans agenda, let’s not forget. Look at how they gloated at Magdalen Bern’s’ tragic death from brain cancer. Look at their violent threats.

It really upset me when I learned that they'd done that (I was later to peaking so only became aware of Berns after she'd sadly died). It's an awful thing to do, to gloat over someone who died because you disagreed with them, especially as it was cancer.

I couldn't imagine anyone GC gloating over Janey godleys death from cancer, in fact I myself felt very sad, for her family, her daughter particularly and I was aware that she was an active trans activist during her life. It's why I get so pissed off when people say "both sides". No, it's just one side issuing death and rape threats, violence and gloating when people die and now actually being violent by killing someone they disagree with. And it's not the women who stand up for our sex based rights. The problem, as always, are men. Their rage knows no bounds. Sick of it.

Yes, sadly I do think a LOT of people are trolling or shitposting to get engagement.

Just as bad imo. If everyone's performing for the world, sincerity dies.

It absolutely does devalue their posts.

If someone cannot express their own opinions in their own words, how can we possibly trust that they first thought about it, second, came to their own conclusions and finally, are accurately expressing their thoughts?

2021x · 11/09/2025 21:11

I observed that you observation is biased, and creating alarm without reporting all the facts.

There maybe "1000's" of posts celebrating it, but there are equal if not many more condemming it, even from people who disagreed with it.

Therefore my conculsion is your are only posting to create panic and the illusion that a group of people are disgusting and should be feared.

This is the shit, that I beleive you are stirring up.

The people condemning it and saying murder is always bad aren't a threat. The people celebrating it and saying murder's great and should happen more often are a threat. Obviously.

Whether it’s “less valid” to have a machine collect a lot of points you possibly don’t understand well enough to be able to articulate or explain is entirely a matter of opinion. It doesn’t make for a particularly engaging discussion.

We’re all exercising free speech.

I think they’re wrong.
You think I’m wrong.

Now what?

I think you’re downplaying how many ‘extremists’ there are.
I’m now wondering why?

Of all the internet posts you could be responding to, of all the posters of all the platforms there are to scold, you’re focusing on me?
I’m the biggest cause of division you need to focus on?

If I blocked them all, I’d have no sleep for days.

There’s that fucking many.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 11/09/2025 21:40

I am still shocked by the video, I know people get shot everyday, to see it at close range, watching him take his last breath, blood rushing from his neck. Awful.
I don't think his DC were there. I read earlier that they had not been told yet, he is not coming home.

This is my view, but I'm sure many will disagree.

I would argue that left-wing extremism has attempted to force people to accept things that many people profoundly disagree with and the left’s tendency ‘to label critics of illiberal policies as “deplorable”, "bigoted", etc- which shuts down meaningful conversation’, is the reason why were in the situation we’re in.

When you shut people out of a conversation about things they disagree with, it’s not surprising people react in a bad way, especially when the people who are doing the shutting down are the government and it’s officials.

If the number of people who are being dismissed, ignored and insulted are in the 10’s of millions, it’s going to get ugly.

Newton’s 3rd law, for every action there’s an equal an opposite reaction, the far right is a reaction to the extreme ideology of the left.

That is an interpretation, for sure. The same argument could then be used to say that Graham Lineham should be prosecuted for saying "punch them in the balls" which only 2 days before the right wing supported as "free speech".

The people celebrating this murder on social media, are telling you that they a) felt victimised by Charlie Kirks ideology and b) are pretty stupid for celebrating murder publically that can be seen by everyone forever.

The person who is dangerous is the person that bought a gun, and trained to use it to murder Charlie Kirk.

That isn't how AI is used, it can be changed to reflect the tone of the person using it. I have used ChatGPT, Grammarly and Co-pilot and they are all the same.

I reported your post to see Mumsnet and their response said they don't have a policy on the use of AI. So in these controversial threads its good to bear that in mind.

It's not an AI - I'd expect ChatGPT to be much more articulate and concise than my rambling wall of text!

I've acknowledged that the left extreme is not perfect - but as a black women, I know which extreme I'd rather live in. My way of determining which extreme is worse, is by imagining you were drawing lots that would determine your position in society - with a risk that you could draw a lot of that would make you the weakest member of society (e.g. a young or elderly, disabled, minority ethnic woman who grew up in foster care and is in an abusive relationship). Which America would you rather live in? The extreme right or the extreme left?

For me the answer is obvious and suggests that American right wing extremism causes far greater day-to-day harm and hardship than the left wing equivalent.

'The left is the party of murder.'

Both parties are parties of murder. Melissa Hortman, Daniel Salas, almost Nancy & Paul Pelosi, almost Josh Shapiro (arson attempt on his house), almost John Hoffman and Yvette (by the same man who shot Melissa Hortman and her husband)

Josh Shapiro's arsonist sited support for PAlestine and targeted him for being jewish, he was from the Left.

Recently from the Left we have had-
Trump - 2 assasination attempts and death of crowd member in '24.

Brian Thomson murdered, shot in the back by Luigi Manjioni in '24.

25 dead during black lives matter riots in '20.

Boulder, Colorado -antisemittic attack, 12 victims of a firebomb one death in antisemittic attack in '25.

Two Israeli Embassy staffers killed in 'act of terror' in Washington, DC in antisemittic attack in '25.

Tesla vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles, charging stations, and dealerships in early '25.

Trans activist shootings -Westman -mass shooting at a Catholic Church and school in Minneapolis in '25.

Hale- Trans shooter in Nashville shooting a Christian School in '24.

This is on top of trans activism of the sort that J.K.Rowling/ Graham Linihan /Kelly J.Keen have experienced where they have been doxed, hounded by litigious activists and threatened. Kelly J. Keen was nearly killed in New Zealand event in '23. Kathleen Stock was hounded out of her job at Sussex Uni. etc etc.

Charlie Kirk it has been reported by the Washington Post they gun they recovered was engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology and it's looking like another violent attack from the Left.
