    The comments are unhinged. “Cut off funding to the EU!”

    How utterly and hilariously disconnected from reality.

    Why would the EU, a completely separate sovereign group of nations, mourn for some American christofascist? I’d be supremely disappointed in them if they did.

      Instead of wondering why Kirk matters, we should be asking who put this notion forward. Kirk must have inspired some love from christo-fascists in Europe. Maybe we should be looking at them.

    WTF did he contribute to Europe to even consider this?

    He (indirectly) contributed that Europe will possibly have another war after 80 years of peace.

    I took a look at the transcript, and surprisingly it did a good job spitting out the German (I think?). Ran it through google translate because I don’t speak the language.

    Anyways, the woman speaking is saying that the request for a moment of silence was already rejected by the President so that’s why she keeps going.

    Dude was trying to ignore the ruling that was already issued on his request and go outside of the procedural rules.

      Yeah this is the one thing pissing me off about how I’m seeing it summarized on the Other Site and elsewhere. There’s a lot of outlets making it look like there was scheduled to be a minute of silence, but a bunch of obnoxious disrespectful leftists kept talking during it.

          The many comments under that video that say “noted EU… Noted”. I don’t know about you, but I’m scared.

              The reference is that many, as you say, pathetic YouTube commenters write pathetic stuff like “noted EU… noted” in an attempt to say how mad they are and that this will have bad consequences. Because you ridiculed such commenters, @[email protected] referenced it but using your nickname instead of EU.

      I’d say the shoe fits the US better, considering how close we are to collapse.

    I farted loudly for around 40 seconds (with occasional pauses) while reading about his death on lemmy; does that count?

    Kirk in and of himself doesn’t justify any of the attention that this is getting.

      I have seen a few heroes clap back really well at the republican degenerates, but you’re not lying. Irreparably mentally fucked. Deport ‘em to North Korea.

    One of the comments claims he’s a victim of hate crime like George Floyd, because there were „anti-fascist engravings on bullets”.

    Stop the Earth, I’m disembarking!

      You do know that Hungary is NOT Europe?

      It’s a country in Europe run by a Putin supported dictator

      Also, as you can see in the headline, or am suggested it and Europe said “No”

      There are a lot of problems going on in Europe, this ain’t one of them

      Well Hungary is fucked, and the Sovereign Nations Group is a bullshit populist right wing group that has <4% of the vote … I’d say we’re still all right, but you know how it is. Gotta vote against the Nazis

    Why does it always look like someone photoshopped his face to 50% size?
