Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

Some dude with the opinion that "it's worth 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". So you don't need to feel sorry for him, his death was an acceptable cost after all.

Some jerk with a neck piercing.

Woah woah don't sell him short, he reinvented the mic drop

You mean he got the school shooting treatment?

[–] if_only@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

No, he was talked about after the shooting. Most school shootings don't even make the news.

He may be forgotten, but the vehicle he created for driving right-wing politics has been supercharged with him gone. It is being scaled up and institutionalized as a much more powerful tool of propaganda and political influence.

apparently he was primarly funded by an AIPAC/ wealthy jewish donor, who was giving TP 2mil/year. he pretty much disagreed with the donor when he wouldnt stop hosting TUCKER who is primarly backed by putin, who did not like israel(russian alliance with iran which supports hamas/palestine and discredits Israel) on the show, so the guy pulled the funding, mysteriously he died a few days later.

candace owens released the messages on her show, reddit has some posts about this somewhere.

Nothing original or special about him at all. Just another of a million hate preachers of the hate religion christianity. Worthless and bland, just like all followers of the hate religion christianity.

The second time you die is when everybody's forgotten your name

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly, cause at the end of the day, it was just another shooting in a country that gets a lot of those.

Aurrr naurrrr

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Did he say he was sorry?

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I love that souther and red states have streets named after him. People are going to think about 100 other Charlies and Kirks before thinking about the actual one. ʘ‿ʘ

Charlie Chaplain? Captain Kirk?

I still watch that video of him getting shot every few days when things start to look bleak. Always good for a laugh. I kind of want to sample the clip to make a dope beat.
