If you were to have said this about Charlie Kirk, or inevitably Trump himself when it happens, you'd be treated like you had killed them yourself.

Many people literally lost their jobs for saying much kinder things about Kirk.

And for saying less kind things, but by directly quoting the deceased.

HN commenters were saying those quotes were taken out of context. I have no frame of reference, but is this not true?

[plagiarist]

If that were true, the response would have been, "no, you're a bit off," instead of apoplectic rage and trying to cancel the person quoting him.

Let's not view any of this in isolation either. None of those accounts will say a single negative word about Donald's (most recent!) shockingly disrespectful thoughts for the deceased.

Most kirk’s comments context is quite evident. His final words for instance.

The fascists' only use high minded ideals as rallying cries to influence people who don't do the work to apply those ideals to the fascists' own actions - whether they're doing it deliberately as a team sport, or have mostly checked out of politics. For those in the currently-designated ingroup, the hypocrisy is the point.
