I'll be honest, outside of Reddit/Lemmy I know exactly nothing about him. I just always assumed he was yet another far-right extremist podcaster. Like Andrew Tate, but allowed to be in the US. Side note, it took me forever to figure out who Andrew Tate was, because I think people thought I was trolling when I asked "who is this dork?".

To a point, yeah, but he was far more influential and sick than what used to be the average. Shapiro looks down right reasonable when compared to kirk, and kirk's outlet has managed to worm its way into schools. Like, officially.

Think of Rush Limbaugh but younger, more racist, and equally as dead.
