Before last 2 weeks i both didnt know who kirk was and didnt really care. I also gwnerally dont get that animated by culture was issues as i tend to believe strongly on liberty and your right to be an *******.

What i do care about is ginning people up with outright falsehoods. Here is kirk doing that.....

Free country. Monetize outrage. But lets stop calling this man a deep intellectual and a seeker of the truth.

There are lots of suspicious facts regarding Lahaina. Dismissing possible conspiracy automatically is blind.

Everybody remember: the behavior below is the kind that oski003, etc. admired in Kirk. Now that some morons are saying and posting tasteless things about Kirk's assassination, however, they are clutching their pearls.





Hamas killed their own people by not returning the hostages.

They wanted their people to die for propaganda

MAGA turning up the rhetoric.
As expected.



It's interesting that given the comments I've seen here about how much "The Left" is celebrating Kirk's death, I've seen sentiments like the above from the right a lot more often than I've seen anything celebratory from the left.


Mods shut down the thread early showing the start of thousands of liberals celebrating the assassination…



If you only look at liberal controlled propaganda you might not see these


Again, I said I'm sure such people exist but these are just random idiots, not major influencers within the American left.


There are millions including influencers with large followings and aoc and Crockett and other politicians

AOC and Crockett celebrated Kirk's death?

I was thinking more something straight from Kirk himself.


It's includes clips of Kirk highlighting his core beliefs of each issue listed

Okay, but the argument from Kirk fans is that people on the left just unfairly take short clips of him saying negative stuff and that you can't see the full context. If a fan like this is selectively showing you POSITIVE clips of him, isn't that just the same thing on the other end?

What's a good way to get the full experience of the guy?


Fair point. I'll look later today and see if I can find something that fits more what you're looking for

Okay. So I did watch most of that guy's video you posted and here's my reaction:

Some of the points are fair, Kirk wasn't necessarily explicitly racist against Blacks or Latinos, just very much against DEI and affirmative action programs. One can agree or disagree with that but I wouldn't call it fundamentally offensive to say so.

When he talks about Kirk's opinions on LGBT issues is where you can tell this guy has to start tip-toeing around what Kirk actually said, especially because he's gay. Kirk explicitly says that he wouldn't allow gay marriage. The guy in the video kind of cuts off the clip right there and says in a hand-wavey kind of way, "Well I'm not going to dismiss the guy because of one opinion." Okay, maybe he wouldn't but could you see why a lot of gay or lesbian folks would pretty much call that a deal-breaker? If Charlie Kirk were in charge he'd take away their rights, and that seems pretty explicit to me. From my perspective, seeing this clip doesn't help at all. I dislike him even more after seeing it.

On the trans stuff: Kirk is polite with the trans person who questioned him in the clip, I'll give him that. And the criticism of clinics rushing to diagnose and prescribe medicine or surgery to kids who might show gender dysphoria is fair. But he also quite explicitly says that you shouldn't call a person by their preferred pronouns because it's a lie, and then he goes into saying that you can't change chromosomes, etc. But that wasn't the argument from the student; the student says that it's about common courtesy. And you know what? I think the student is right! It absolutely is rude if a person says to you, "I want you to call me 'she' now even though I was born as a male, and also by this new name" and you refuse to do so. Again, to me this does not make Charlie Kirk look good, and this kind of argument kind of gives away the game to me that it's not just about kids or women's sports, it's about denying the existence of trans people and even adults' desire to live their lives as they want.

If this is meant to be the friendliest argument in favor of Charlie Kirk, then I say no thanks. Doesn't mean he should have been shot, of course he shouldn't have. But I will continue to say he was a toxic presence in our politics when he was alive.


Thanks for actually looking somewhat as opposed to most liberals who just listen to what their masters tell them.

He pushes his Christian values. I don't agree with them all but it is by far his first identity. You assume that if he were in charge he would make all his beliefs the law. Can you find any instance of him trying to force anybody to do anything?

I mean, he's never been in public office so he hasn't had a chance to do that (not legally anyway). I don't see how that's relevant. He states what he would do if he did have power (no gay marriage).
