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

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?
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.
