					<description><![CDATA[Love the article ed, I really do and frankly it makes sense now with your own personal experience as per with cigarettes hence I see why: I for one on the other hand, still struggle and still hurting by alot to which my addiction disorder has been a pain of my fucking ass for years since I was a teenager due in par with a myriad of trauma that was inflicted onto me for years and I struggle to be happy in general. Given how I&#039;m dealing with things as of late it seems to be pervasive and all in all insane in some fashion to be honest. I make the effort to have people in my life especially as to try to be and make the effort as per being there in their lives; but to honest it seems to be the opposite cause I feel that people have this aversion with me due to how iam and frankly would find any excuse to distance and not talk to me at all especially how my relationship experiences had been including my ex I dated a few years ago and I thought he was the one but sadly I was wrong.  

The point I&#039;m trying to convey my friend. I&#039;m just lonely. I make the effort to get past from that and it just ends up the same every time and since I work now it&#039;s become even more difficult cause all I do is work and have no social life and it gets hard for me to connect simply because people aren&#039;t interested nor don&#039;t have the time.


But I&#039;m going to let you go I just woke up from my induced marijuana nap ( lol ) and that&#039;s the only thing that is prescribed from my doctor that helps numb my pain......but I&#039;m just tired especially of what I just conveyed to you in this comment.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;This lovely day, Cory Doctorow (okay, his newsletter) told me this phone call happened. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;This lovely day, the linked horror story told me this music existed. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;This turrible day, the linked audio file proved the Internet is an ephemeral space that no one should trust their repository of bookmarks for. Actually, that last bit isn&#039;t true. I learned about bookmark heartbreaks when I happened across an amazing dissertation on Pulp Fiction, deconstructing it via the lens of &quot;love&quot;, and how every scene in its out-of-chronologicality does indeed run in a logical, meaningful fashion. That was in the early 00s. &lt;span&gt;IIRC i&lt;/span&gt;t had disappeared by &#039;09 (I shoulda saved that !*@# html file).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Charlie Kirk was the kind of hateful bigot who loved to persecute and dehumanize marginalized minorities like the disgusting coward he was. His entire ideology was deeply rooted in hatred and bigotry. He literally said that he would oppose his own daughter getting an abortion, even after a r*pe. Why would I feel the slightest bit of empathy towards a scumbag like him? Especially since the latter himself said he despised the aforementioned word with every fiber of his entire being. 

He spent his entire existence spreading hatred towards the most marginalized minorities. He glorified violence to an absurd degree of stupidity. Yet, I&#039;m pretty sure he was arrogant enough to delude himself into thinking he would never be on the receiving end of that violence. He said that a few deaths were fine if it were for the sake of protecting that so-called god given right to defend themselves with guns. It&#039;s quite ironic that he ended up being killed this way.

People who vehemently insult the author of this article are a bunch of hypocrites. You guys are always willing to mention free speech when it comes to spouting the most hateful and bigoted BS towards minorities, but you cry like babies when you get a taste of your own medicine. Charlie Kirk outwardly mocked George Floyd after he was killed in 2020 by Derek Chauvin, calling him a scumbag.

As far as I&#039;m concerned, I see Charlie Kirk as the incarnation of what&#039;s currently happening in the USA ever since the 2010s. A country that promotes violence towards marginalized minorities (immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and disabled people). A country that glorifies white supremacy, misogyny, and ignorance. A country that has elected a p*dophile convicted of 34 crimes not only once, but twice.

The fact that some people try to turn such a hateful bigot into a martyr is extremely concerning. Donald Trump and MAGA are the worst things that have ever happened to America.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That’s a lot of hateful venom. And I do mean a lot. It comes across as petty, juvenile and crossing over into hate speech. Not to mention sanctimoniously and dangerously ideological. I would like to think that publicly shared malicious thoughts such as yours could only come from a sick mind and that the writer is too mentally disturbed to know better. Of course, you’re welcome to your opinion, but be aware that you are showing yourself to be as intolerant and hate-filled as anyone you are so quick to denounce as a facist. Don’t bother replying to my comment with another one of your insulting, overly defensive, tainted outbursts. I won’t spend another second reading the vile, thesaurus-driven shitpile of words that flow from your mind and onto the Internet. The world needs activism but not your brand of activism. So I have a request… if you are as filled with hate and superiority as your words suggest, please do us all a favor and get off the Internet. The world needs less hate.  
ps I am not a Charlie Kirk supporter. I would no more support him than I would you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This fucking idiot was nobody . Why the big deal? And he wasn&#039;t assassinated, he was murdered.  If you kill a fly in your house, was it assassinated. Fuck this clown. It sounds like they are going to drag his dead corpse around the country like a dead president.  What a fucking joke. I never heard of this clown before he was killed,  not assassinated.  Who gives a damn. Again,  he was nobody.  So now is everyone who was killed has been assassinated?]]></description>

&quot;If I see a Black pilot, I&#039;m going to be like, &#039;Boy, I hope he&#039;s qualified.&#039;&quot;   Others ahead of himself?  He was a flagrant racist.  But then your idea of a &quot;hero&quot; is a scumbag like Nathan Bedford Forrest or Strom Thurmond.]]></description>

Did they train you in the Army and the Ministry to be a white supremacist, a sexist, a racist, an Islamophobe, a homophobe, and a transphobe?  Because where I come from, sir, it&#039;s vital to voice strong opinions to denounce hatred and bigotry.  But despising people who aren&#039;t white is your bread and butter, isn&#039;t it?  Please point to anything in my essay that is untrue.  You&#039;ll see that everything has been linked.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[An impressive if hateful and vitriolic diatribe concocted with every pejorative phrase known to mankind.  But, in fairness to the author, it served its intended purpose, that being the desire to publicly display an encyclopedic command of negative writing skills.  I’m a college-educated former army officer, and have been a lay minister in my faith group most of my life.  And I liked Charlie Kirk.  When I voice strong opinions, I try to make it clear that I’m voicing my personal opinion.  I don’t try and offer my musings as incontrovertible fact.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great facts and very well written article but...MAGATS do not hear the truth.  The enemy, traitors and ignorant people wear red hats.  Charlie loved the red hats.  He was a MAGA Trump supporter.  Supporting the convicted felon that is destroying our economy, destroying global relationships and lying with every word he speaks!   Charlie will soon be polluting the ground he is buried in.]]></description>

&quot;Definitely was not a racist or Nazi.&quot;  Tracy, did you not click on the links in this article pointing to specific examples of said racism or white supremacy?  Or do you simply decide to see and hear what you want to see and hear, irrespective of whether or not it is reflected in actual reality?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Fuck yes. Fuck Charlie Kirk. Someone finally proved him wrong and now he’s a fucking “martyr”? Now there’s a call to arms because a fucking Nazi was put down? I thought patriots hated nazis? What in the fuck? And when the killings in Minnesota happened where was the response? I just, I would really like to talk to another like minded individual and I really have to praise you for writing this piece.]]></description>
