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.
His legacy will be Irony. He died of the gun violence that he blithely normalized, and since he openly disparaged and dismissed the concept of empathy, he received none.
MAGAs keep bring up his family, as if the people who they are deporting to life sentences in 3rd world torture prisons don’t have families.
His wife is a young, hot blonde, who just inherited a shitload of Nazi gold. She’ll have some MAGA shill at her side soon. She’ll be fine.
He was highly successful at making his dream a reality.
Lol that’s hilarious
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
The same as Rush Limbaugh. Nobody cares.
Oh man, Rush. I vaguely remember his downfall from painkiller addiction, and he was some sort of radio pundit.
Someone who got a lot of money via preaching hate
He won’t be in a history book; in five years nobody will talk about him.
Aside from a shitload of memes? Not very much, they will find another disproportioned faced asshole to replace him and his name will be erased from history
Hate, division, degradation of the debate process, normalizing disinformation, encouraging fascism…
One of the people pushing the idea that gun violence is okay, actually. So by his own logic no one should feel bad for him.
Yet there is so many posts and comments about how awful it is, someone blocked me last night for calling them out on their bollocks.
A bigot and fascist
who?
Someone who had a big head and tiny face
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
Racism, bigotry, hatred, greed, grift, sexism, fascism, and more of the same.
