Also sometimes I find you can play about with the speed of a song and it sounds better. Eg I play the first part of this (with the vocals) at 1.25 speed and think it's actually better (instrumental bit at the end at normal speed)

 
I can be happy enough that someone died, and made the world a slightly better place, without being happy that they were murdered (whether by state or an individual). I don't find that to be a contradiction - they're two different things, after all.

On this specific case, I'd never heard of him until yesterday, but a very brief googling suggests that his death has made the world a better place.
Equally, I wasn't happy that Charlie Kirk - or Brian Thompson were murdered (and their murderers absolutely should face the correct sentence) - but both left the world a slightly better place.
I'm also not happy that strokes exists - but I won't shed a tear for Thatcher or Kissinger, and will fund-raise for better symptom recognition, and better treatments for stroke.
 
I think there's a rather big gap from saying a person some dying who abused children and someone who had an opinion.

I'm not sure Charlie Kirks death has made the world a better place. Not sure his young children and wife would agree with that sentiment either.

If people really think those dying of a different opinion have left the world a better place. That's something others can say about you.

Yes, there is - well done.
I am, you are perfectly entitled to disagree with my illustration. Of course his wife and kids won't agree with me.
Not just for having a different opinion, but for being utterly hateful, and spreading hate. Of course others can say it about me - it would be absolutely horrendous for that not to be the case.

There's a theme you often seem to come back to when you disagree with me - that you think it's performative and one-sided. It really isn't. When I express an opinion, it's my opinion, and it doesn't change depending on whether or not I otherwise agree or disagree with someone else. I defend my right to think that hateful people dying leaves the world a better place. I also defend the right of other people to think that my death, whenever it happens, leaves the world a better place.
It's called consistency - I have it - however often you assume that I don't, and call me out on not having it (you've yet to find one though)

Never doubted your consistency or bothered looking. I just don't agree with your take, it's your opinion and like my own it doesn't always make you or I right. I'm not going at you and I apologise if it feels like that.

Personally I like different opinions as they can sometimes change mine.

Fair enough - and absolutely agreed on the last point.

To clarify the "feels" isn't that you're particularly having a go at me; but you've often a "you'd disagree if it was the other way around" to me - and yet to be right - but that is just feels, and may absolutely be a mis-understanding on my part.
