I haven't seen any statement where he said they were non-humans? Care to provide a source?
> Before it was reported he died, the MAGA cult leader guy explicitly called for violence in his name.
Who is the MAGA cult guy? Are you talking about Trump?
I asked ChatGPT. Prompt: charlie kirk statements that dehumanize democrats
How those statements can be seen as dehumanizing
Framing as enemies: Saying liberals “hate” America or “want to destroy it” sets them up as antagonists, not just political opponents. It’s about moral character in extreme terms rather than policy disagreements.
Defining identity reductively: Labeling groups as “dependent on government,” or “living in tragedy of your own making,” etc., strips away nuance and reduces people to blame or shame‐oriented traits.
Assigning malicious intent: Some statements assume that Democrats act with ill will or deliberate harmful goals rather than simply having different philosophies or policy priorities.
Us vs. them polarization: These sorts of remarks deepen divides by denying any shared ground or possibility of good faith.
Yes I mean the evil orange guy.
Hitler's manifesto included in it a promise to kill all the capitalists, so there's no comparison to be made here.
> The isolated statements I've read indicate a resentment for non-heterosexual, not white people. This is inherently a violent worldview.
This is probably the root of the divergence in replies. It is possible to both dislike a behavior or group of people engaging in a behavior, to speak out about those groups and not want to do violence against them. This is arguably the default state. Merely disliking a group isn't an inherently violent worldview and it can be tolerated, very easily.
After all we have all for decades tolerated feminists who openly dislike men, people who openly dislike whites, people who openly hate the rich, and so on. It isn't OK to go from "that person says they hate the rich" to "therefore they are automatically violent" and from that to "we cannot tolerate their existence". It's sufficient to just argue back. Or even dislike them back, as a group.
Some on the left struggle with this concept because they don't distinguish between words and acts. As far as they are concerned, saying "black people commit a lot of crime" is no different to physically boxing a black person's head in, but this belief is wrong (and actually is an inherently violent worldview).
