I hope he's remembered for losing a bad faith argument in the most ironic way possible.
i hope he's not remembered at all, like his cause (someday)
So we're doing the "doomed to repeat it" thing again in like 80 years, got it
Remembering Hitler and the abhorrent shit nazis did has not prevented nazism from rising again. If we want to be really pessimistic we're doomed either way.
I would have hoped it would have taken at least 100+ years, but nope.
Not that I disagree with the message, but why is most of it highlighted?
I was wondering the same. Defeats the usual purpose. Maybe it is trying to grab your attention and hold it
Spent his life arguing against the public good. Ended his life as a fountain.
His death was hilarious and I'm glad it happened
I have a hard time celebrating anyone's death (there are a few I'm looking forward too though), but it's hard to classify Kirk's as undeserved. Hell, he preemptively justified his own death in that golden quote about "some shooting deaths are necessary in order to uphold the 2nd amendment".
Who is Charlie Kirk?
You, me, others. It's us. We are Charlie Kirk.
Why are we still talking about this guy?
He was murdered, he's dead, he's no longer an issue. We have LIVING people who STILL support the same shit he did.
but people failed to realize that mediocre white men should be able to live a happy and fulfilling lives, too. like all of us should. they used to be able to do that by doing less skilled labour like manufacturing etc, and still be able to afford a home and decent life. that's until capital possessing elites decided that it is more profitable to use cheap off shore labour. that as well as worsening inequality left them miserable and without purpose.
too bad centrist politicians are mostly being bought out by capital, that's why opportunist grifters like Charlie Kirk was able to fill the vacuum that was left, and poison the mind of these people.
This is why, if you are going to caucus with Democrats, its important to insist on universalism in whatever social programs get focused on for a platform. Democrats look towards their technocrats to support 'means testing' as a way to split hairs and preserve capitalist ideals while offering soft changes on social programs. The result is that we end up with historically racist and sexist programs (look into the origination and implementation of social security).
The answer is straightforwards. Raise the floor. Programs need to be universal, period. There is no cost savings in piecemeal solutions or means testing; its an intentional way to sabotage the social project.
To be fair there are a lot of very successful college and more than you might imagine high school drop outs. The difference between them and Kirk is that they're still alive.
When he couldn't get into West Point he was too much of a baby to just join up.
If he couldn't get the prettiest costume he wasn't going to play soldier.
Charlie Kirk was the human equivalent of an unfixed tomcat that hangs out in the street and yells at everyone, harasses other cats trying to go about their lives, and spreads disease and discord until they get hit by a car or someone euthanizes them.
As a mediocre white guy who dropped out of college
Fuck that guy
This fucking chud has been dead for how long now and y'all are still talking about him? He was a piece of shit and now he's a dead piece of shit. Why are you keeping this neck bleeding bitch relevant?
Who was Charlie Kirk again?
Some kind of breakfast cereal I think.
A spaceship Captain?
