Your principled opposition to the death of political opponents fell apart almost instantly, didn't it?
Look, firstly, I've seen enough of CriticalGaming's posts to know he's got some substantial right-leaning sympathies, so that's a lot of it.
Secondly, he's one of those people who has said plenty of stuff that looks off, and other users have called him out on it - so of course he doesn't like it. Either he goes introspective and seriously thinks about whether he's the arsehole, or he gets defensive and decides they're the arsehole. Most people instinctively prefer to believe the other guy is the arsehole.
Fundamentally, all states have the attitude that the state has a unique right to commit violence. In most states, particularly democracies, the state wishes it to be believed that the state, it's laws, its governance, are fair, neutral, representative of (with a mandate from) and for the good of the people.
Therefore, state violence can often be presented as fair, neutral, and representative of the people. It's relatively easy to fool people into believing that, even as those same people think the government is in the hands of secretive cabals of businessmen / paedophiles / etc.! And to be fair, a lot of state violence is reasonable. If a cop uses reasonable force to restrain a criminal, that's okay.
There are lots of people very keen to push the idea that state violence isn't political - chief of which is the state itself.
I don't know how you could have missed it. Basically during the Floyd protests, a bunch of protesters drove law enforcement and city personnel out of part of Seattle and declared it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, renaming it to the Capitol Hill Organized Protest a few days later. Basically they took over part of Seattle, had a few scuffles with counter protesters and police, did a ton of property damage, someone died as a consequence, etc.
I'd be curious what the per capita rates look like in comparison. Because the percentage of trans people I've met who have been plausibly accused of sexually assaulting a child is much higher than the percentage of cis men I've met who have been plausibly accused of sexually assaulting a child, but given the orders of magnitude difference in sample sizes whether or not that reflects anything real or if I just have bad luck in the trans folk I've happened to meet is a question worth withholding judgement over.
It's ghoulish, but part of me wonders if in his last moments of consciousness he accepted his own immediately impending death as part of that exchange, or if he only said that because he believed he would never be the one handed the check. AKA, how strongly did he actually believe his own claimed beliefs? Or was he just a chronic masterdebater?
Or someone who's kid died in a school shooting that Charlie Kirk saw as an unfortunate but necessary sacrifice in a prudent and rational exchange for his political views who decided that maybe he should be the next one handed that particular bill.
Harris was quite literally a DEI hire. To be fair so was Biden as Obama's VP. POTUS candidates almost always choose someone who's seen as "shoring up" their weak points based on imagery rather than any kind of competence, and sometimes that imagery is specifically about race and/or sex. Obama needed a boring milquetoast white corporate Dem, same as Trump needed someone who seemed as much like a boring traditional conservative with Pence because his cult wasn't really in full control of the GOP yet so he needed an "adult in the room", Biden needed someone who would act as contrast to him being the boring milquetoast white corporate Dem that Obama needed.
The USA is not a particularly violent place - certainly in the sorts of geographical and social areas the average political shitraker operates. Thus the odds are that he never expected he would be one of the people who would get it in the neck (if you'll pardon the pun).
Senate Republicans trigger 'nuclear option,' changing rules to speed up Trump nominees
The new rule, established by the GOP on party lines, will enable it to confirm Trump nominees in groups, rather than individually. It's the latest move to erode minority powers.
Since evidently people can reply to me (even though I've been banned in the thread so I am unable to respond), here is my response to your quote Phoenix.
You didn't Google very hard @Phoenixmgs if you couldn't find his abhorrent views on Transgender people
Here's a video just in case you want to still figure out a way to whitewash his comments as a misunderstanding or some other bullshit
"We should have taken care of it like we took care of it in the 50s and 60s"
Spoiler Alert; that care included shit like classifying it as a mental illness (with good ol 50s and 60s methods like electric therapy and lobotomies being "The Cure"), getting arrested for "Crossdressing" and other flimsy things to persecute them legally, and then just good old social stigmatizing of 50s and 60s mentality.

If this is the worst thing Kirk has said, this is not much. Him saying "These people are sick" is referring to the NCAA, not trans people. I'm pretty sure he's not talking about lobotomies based on the context of the rest of the what is said, plus who would even think to bring back lobotomies as well. I was trying to find the full interview of this, but I couldn't. In that bit of googling, I didn't find anything Kirk said about trans people that 80% of the population doesn't agree with. If that take merits being killed, then you're OK with over 250 million deaths. Outside of a couple videos of Kirk OWNING liberals on campus I clicked on on Youtube like 2 or 3 times, I know very little about him. He did seem genuinely up to debate in good faith (which is rare) as he would congratulate and shake a student's hand if the student made good points.
"Someone should have took care of it the way we took care of it in the 50s and 60s"
You guys can have actual proof right in front of your faces about what guys like Kirk believe about Trans People and somehow can still just go NU UH! Oh but Kirk is POLITE about his nasty fucking racist, sexist, and anti LGBT points!
This is why neither of you are worth bothering talking to about this kind of stuff. Every piece of shit human being gets constant "benefit of the doubt" because they use pretty language and say GG after spewing their hatred.
Remember that Chorus scandal from a week ago? Yeah, now nobody does. I'm sure Brain Tyler Cohen's happy about that at least.
He is referring to just men being men and saying no essentially...
I've only seen him be against trans women sports and trans surgeries (and probably stuff like hormone therapy) FOR MINORS, both are majority opinions of the population in the US and also the recommendations by doctors across the world.
Where is him saying specifically anything worse (not you interpreting what he said)?
Where the fuck were you when people were celebrating the murder of democrat senator a couple of months ago?
Kirk is in a long line of politically assassinations in the last few years that is meant to curb Free Speech.
You arent cranky that this happened. You're cranky it finally happened to a conservative. Everyone here is just copying what conservatives do every fucking time this happened. More importantly, its how Kirk treated every victim

Well look at that, I was right, it was a conservative who shot Kirk. MAGA world went from "death penalty" to "thoughts and prayers" real quick there.
Just waiting for "he only did it because leftists exist, this will keep happening until we get rid of them".
Here's some good ol' conservative compassion for you.
"Or involuntary lethal injection or something- just kill 'em" in response to homeless people not accepting "the resources we're gonna give you". And the other two hosts don't even bat an eye.
Though really, it does sound like it would be the last solution needed. You could even call it a final solution.
Meanwhile, "free speech protector" Clay Higgins wants to use the power of the government to permanently ban anyone who makes light of Charlie Kirk's killing from the Internet. The entire Internet.

This is this weird position where Trump being a horrible person somehow makes the democrat bad. Yeah the dem tried to go after Trump, but for good reason, Trump deserved to be gone after even back then. If the cop go after a murder, should they just accept the murder trying to kill them?
And he's only been worse since then, he literally asked a governor to make up fake vote to overturn an election.
