    It depends. What is the footage of? If you’re watching someone get attacked, murdered, and/or raped and you don’t feel sick to your stomach I’d say something is wrong with you. If you’re watching a city being attacked and you don’t see casualties of war I’d understand if you don’t sympathize because you’re only seeing buildings being destroyed not the humans that are being affected. It’s hard for a lot of people to empathize unless they’ve gone through something similar. It’s still not great that you can’t put 2 and 2 together, but it’s not abnormal.

        Again, we shouldn’t support the murder of anyone or anything even if they deserve it. Regardless, I won’t judge anyone who wants people like Trump and Charlie Kirk to disappear. Many of us are just fighting for our right to exist. Republicans hate minorities, trans, gay, and anyone different from them and they are using ICE to attack anyone they deem different.

        I’d much prefer if Trump were removed from office dishonorably and we appointed someone who could return sanity to the US. However, I won’t judge anyone wishing death on those that want them dead and have the power to make it so.

          Disagree, Hitler deserved to be bullied until he killed himself. But sure, the support for death when more peaceful methods have failed seems fine to me.

      I felt absolutely nothing when I watched charlie Kirk get shot. Does that make me a bad person?

      And I have never really seen many gore videos.

        To be honest, I understand being happy that someone who spread so much hate was murdered. This is a person who vehemently believed that gay and trans people shouldn’t exist. I completely understand the hatred of this man, but he is a human being and a sentient being. We really shouldn’t be supporting the murder of other humans even if we hate their views. I will concede however that that may be the only way out of the mess we’re in.

        There are more of us than there are of them and yet we’re still under the control of those that hate us. If they won’t play by the rules then violence is the only option we have left. I’d much prefer the peaceful option if it were an option, and I hope that sanity will return to the US soon.
