Ian is the kind of guy who will wallow in self pity and talk about how horrible it is that he has to deal with people being mean to him on the internet, only to dance on the grave of a man who got his throat blown out in front of his wife and small children. "Okay, but guys: who's really suffering here?"
It shows us the people who are contributing to the hyper-polarized, hateful malaise poisoning public discourse, and gives us the opportunity to finally cut them off. Perhaps it might not work that way, but I think there's a genuine opportunity there: normies can see it and go "you people are fucking crazy. I thought you were just outspoken but thought like me. Now I know you're monsters and the stuff you say is insane, and I want nothing to do with it." Ala what happened beteeen H3 and Hasan.
and once those people turn away from the crazies, suddenly the insane and stupid shit they say stops getting signal boosted.
I can't help but wonder if this event is the vaccine that finally brings an end to the disease. We find out which people in our society are so spiteful and vindictive that they celebrate an objectively horrible event, and we know to cut them off, to not respect them and not give them any kind of platform anymore.The Charlie Kirk event horizon has been quite tough to deal with, so many people i thought were normal psychopatically celebrating the death of that guy like if he was some kind of serial child rapist murderer when his only crime was just debating people and being a conservative normie with the most lukewarm takes ever.
