I keep finding clips of him on twitter and the man was absolutely vile; I never watched his stuff before, watching it now I see he really was a hateful piece of trash.

I'm not shedding a tear over someone taking out the trash.

He also just wasn’t even that good of a debater. I’ll never understand why people are so stoked about this guy.

Because he yelled at those they thought were uppity, like women and black people, in places they were afraid to go to (ie college campuses)

Tbf he had to argue demonstrably wrong and morally repugnant positions.

Yeah but Ben Shapiro does that all the time and doesnt fail as hard as Kirk. Even crowder was arguably better at what he was doing. And they’re all parroting the same shit pile talking points.

Ben Shapiro's gimmick is talking really fast so you can't understand wtf he's trying to say, and if you ever ask a clarifying question or try to untangle his word salad he moves on and pretends that means he "won"

Which granted is a more effective strategy than Charlie Kirk's, but it's not particularly advanced
