Charlie Kirk’s murder is a shock to me and prior to that I really have not thought about him for months (he apparently shared a stage with Hassan piker), of course the south Park parody.
I have ran into a few of Kirk’s supporters and apparently his legacy is his family and his apparently endless college debates that get rephrased as “debated an entire generation” and governors.
To me, it seems like Kirk was just a content creator.
Kirk was just a Republican think-tank, his existence was to spread and breed new forms of bigotry and infect new generations with his toxic ideology.
He honestly believed that Transgenders were the shooters that committed a lot of shootings over history. If ‘5’ was ‘a lot’ in his feeble brain, that demonstrates the lack of awareness he truly has about mass shootings to blanket blame a group of minorities.
Until a single transgender tops the mass shooter list of shootings in America, Kirk is an idiot.
Hate, division, degradation of the debate process, normalizing disinformation, encouraging fascism…
A bigot and fascist
Kirk was a state terrorist who called for people to get shot because it protects gun nutjobs.
He also said empathy is for the weak. I’m returning the favour by not having empathy for him but having it for others.
Literally just a fucking nazi. Good riddance.
Careful now (/s), people are losing their jobs over milder comments.

Seems that even goebbelses of 20 years past are getting kicked by today goebbelses for pretty mild comments
Telling women they are only here to be submissive breeding sows
Can I get a source? I’d love to have this one to share. My family simps so damn hard for him and I can’t stand it.
Kirk said the “biblical model” for women to pursue in romantic relationships is a partner who is “a protector and a leader, and deep down, a vast majority of you agree.” And during a question and answer session on day three, Kirk told the audience to “make yourself presentable” to attract a man. His advice was to join a church, befriend the pastor’s wife, and “hold yourself to a high standard” including by waiting to have sex until marriage, which is “something that some women struggle with.”
He pushes that retoric on his video commentary about Taylor Swift engagement, that she should have plenty of children since she can afford it, and submit to her husband. Should be easy to find and it’s recent.
Racism, bigotry, hatred, greed, grift, sexism, fascism, and more of the same.
“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk
This. Right here. This quote. I suggest his family make his tombstone out of stainless steel so they can easily pressure wash away the marker pens of people scrawling these words across it.
Thoughts and prayers.
His legacy is organizing to bring white supremacist anti-lgbtqia+ rhetoric more mainstream via the Republican party. He organized to oppress people.
I think, in the long run, Kirk’s legacy will be his assassination and it’s contribution to the season of assassination now unfolding. (The two failed Trump assassinations, the UnitedHealth assassination, and now Kirk).
Beyond that, he was an agitator and a grifter. I have the same empathy towards him and the people around him as he had towards school shooting survivors, Palestinians, and etc. It’s what he would have wanted.
Don’t forget the Minnesota assationations
Kirk was a fascist activist, propagandist, and organizer. He was as much “just a content creator” as Goebbels.
Smarmy grifter who caused irreparable and immeasurable harm
Baby Goebbels.
I feel like comparing a person who was just right wing to someone so disgusting and reprehensible is disingenuous and waters down have vile the Nazi regime was
I’m comfortable with the comparison. If you insist on mythologizing the Nazis as a singular historical phenomenon, you will never recognize them anywhere else. Kirk professed Christianity, while mocking and condemning empathy as “new-age” and damaging. He called for the marginalization, incarceration and even murder of trans people. He was a cheerleader for the large scale paramilitary occupations of major cities. There are many examples of Kirk not simply “having conservative opinions”, but being paid handsomely by billionaires to amplify and normalize these messages of hate. That you think of him as someone “who was just right wing” illustrates the success he had in bringing his evil views into mainstream discourse.
Thanks for this. I have no idea how awful he is and I have no intention search myself. They should cheer for the 22 yr old like Luigi M.
Looks like the shooter was also a fascist (groyper Nazi), so I’m not really cheering for him, but I am glad Charlie’s dead.
Most Nazis were “regular people” until the opportunity came for them to commit atrocities.
I did not say Charlie Kirk was just a 'regular person"
I know. You’re excusing him but I’m telling you that even people you would consider to be better than Kirk ended up as Nazis when the opportunity arose.
Ok I appreciate the idea some political act alot more moderate then there actually beliefs like, that does happen alot when politicians stray the centrist line
I just don’t think its fair to compare charlie to Himmler over the idea that Charlie could of became extremely far right wing if he gained more power
Most Nazis were
“regular people”“just right wing” until the opportunity came for them to commit atrocities.The nazi party was far right authortarians, not just simply right wing, to say they were just right wing is disingenuous
Are you saying the Republican party and their mouthpieces are not far right authoritarians?
No the republican party spans multiple degrees of the right and majority of them are just right wing authoritarians, not far right, you can get much more right wing then the republican party
Many yanks think “nazi germany was worse than usa” so they can feel better, but usa is worse. The boss is always worse than the lackey.
Get comfortable with it. Coming to a state near you soon.
I’m not american and my country doesn’t deal with much gun violence, the last time a political figure was attacked in my country was sir David amess and that man was stabbed to death by a Muslim extremist
That’s fine, doesn’t change the fact that America is quickly becoming as disgusting and hateful as the Nazi party of Germany. We just won’t hear about the atrocities until they are laid bare at the end, like the Nazi Party of Germany.
I honestly agree that America is in an awful place and there is potential it could get worse but it is hard to know for sure what potential awful political ideology could take over and I feel your being a bit alarmist, I think there is still a good bit of hope for America to get through it’s issues
Don’t think it’s alarmist when people already are getting sent to concentration camps in El Salvador, or have no fair trial due to being at Guantanamo Bay.
being a gender neutral toilet
