Since these people are busy rewriting their history and deleting their posts, here's how the "lower the temperature" right acted when they thought Charlie Kirk's shooter was a transgender liberal. pic.twitter.com/fMI17t8X34 — Max Burns (@themaxburns) September 12, 2025

Heywood, Charlie spoke about gun deaths as being neither "deserved" nor "condemnable", but rather as the "unfortunate" price we have to pay for the second amendment. We already discussed that. As I mentioned before, he said that to satisfy the Algore Rhythms. He might have believed in that, or he might not have. Or he might have believed in it as long as the "unfortunate deaths" didn't happen to him or his loved ones. If he deserves to die for being a hypocrite, so do the rest of us. He also instructed his followers that empathy is a "woke" waste of time. This too was taken out of context. Here is Charlie Kirk's entire quote: "It was all about empathy and sympathy. I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy." Again, his quote was framed to satisfy the Algore Rhythms. There isn't much intellectual consistency in it. It's all written in a way that satisfies his base of support without actually discounting the value of empathy, or sympathy, or whatever he feels like calling it at the moment. This is a pattern that I have noticed in Charlie Kirk's words. It's something Jordan Peterson is also fond of doing. Even JD Vance has fallen victim to this wordplay. Putting too much value in his words just to feel good about hating on him makes no sense to me. Tenchusatsu
