Charlie Kirk was an odious human being. A real piece of shit. Hated women, hated brown people, hated the poor. A perfect spokesman for the current regime.
I hate political violence. I think shooting people we don’t like is not good. Charlie Kirk, however, did not think that way. Charlie Kirk thought shooting people that were not him was the price of the second amendment. Charlie Kirk hated women (unless they were servants). Charlie Kirk hated brown people. Charlie Kirk hated Jews. Charlie Kirk especially hated people who needed help.
I hope as he was bleeding out that he had the time to appreciate that his death was a logical conclusion of the religion he helped create. Certainly none of his acolytes will have that insight.
I do not venture terribly near social media, yet still I have heard that a lot of people are calling Charlie Kirk a “great man”. He was not anything of the sort. If you missed the second paragraph, he is scientifically a piece of shit. The world is better without him.
The world is better without him.
I am extremely disappointed when I hear a white man speak highly of him — at least that is the group with the the most to gain from his white christian nationalism — yet I am flabbergasted that anyone else would venerate his evil at their own expense.
“I don’t agree with everything he said, but he spoke eloquently?” Fuck that. Fuck that all the way to the moon. Speaking eloquently about being a nazi doesn’t make it OK.
Fuck that guy. I hope they find the killer and at their trial their entire defense is “dude was evil, had to be done.” Then I hope the killer is convicted, and runs for president, because criminals can do that now.
Thank you, Jerry. Interestingly, Kirk was speaking at a university, supposedly a place where free speech and academic freedom are venerated. Yet, his organization, Turning Point USA, set up Professor Watch List – a watchlist where university teachers whose speech and ideas did not adhere to his ideas were listed and pressured to conform. He also set up SchoolBoard Watchlist to do the same thing. And his Turning Point USA , or TP USA, has been investigated for falsifying financial statements.
What goes around comes around…ooops! Thank goodness I don’t work for a major network like MSNBC or a major news outlet, or I might be fired. The interesting thing is that the president who decries the violence against one of his own really started it all on January 6, 2021. Like 9-11, never forget.
