He won’t be in a history book; in five years nobody will talk about him.
Someone who got a lot of money via preaching hate
He may very well be the personality to cause the Epstein files be released.
I think, in the long run, Kirk's legacy will be his assassination and it's contribution to the season of assassination now unfolding. (The two failed Trump assassinations, the UnitedHealth assassination, and now Kirk).
Beyond that, he was an agitator and a grifter. I have the same empathy towards him and the people around him as he had towards school shooting survivors, Palestinians, and etc. It's what he would have wanted.
Don't forget the Minnesota assationations
Aside from a shitload of memes? Not very much, they will find another disproportioned faced asshole to replace him and his name will be erased from history
Getting assassinated is his legacy for all those who did not know who he was. I think getting assassinated will be his legacy for all those who knew who he was.
His only legacy is a stupid meme format where someone will point out that the guy in the meme was a fascist jackass Everytime it gets posted.
Change my mind.
IRL shitposter.
He lives on in my block list
One of the people pushing the idea that gun violence is okay, actually. So by his own logic no one should feel bad for him.
Yet there is so many posts and comments about how awful it is, someone blocked me last night for calling them out on their bollocks.
who?
Someone who had a big head and tiny face
Who the fuck cares?
Racism, bigotry, hatred, greed, grift, sexism, fascism, and more of the same.
"I think it's worth it 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. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk
Hate, division, degradation of the debate process, normalizing disinformation, encouraging fascism...
his legacy is that you can make a profitable career out of right wing grifting.
His legacy is organizing to bring white supremacist anti-lgbtqia+ rhetoric more mainstream via the Republican party. He organized to oppress people.
A bigot and fascist
Kirk was a state terrorist who called for people to get shot because it protects gun nutjobs.
He also said empathy is for the weak. I'm returning the favour by not having empathy for him but having it for others.
Telling women they are only here to be submissive breeding sows
Can I get a source? I'd love to have this one to share. My family simps so damn hard for him and I can't stand it.
Kirk said the “biblical model” for women to pursue in romantic relationships is a partner who is “a protector and a leader, and deep down, a vast majority of you agree.” And during a question and answer session on day three, Kirk told the audience to “make yourself presentable” to attract a man. His advice was to join a church, befriend the pastor’s wife, and “hold yourself to a high standard” including by waiting to have sex until marriage, which is “something that some women struggle with.”
Kirk was a fascist activist, propagandist, and organizer. He was as much "just a content creator" as Goebbels.
I’m not American, and the only exposure to him that I had the misfortune of coming across was him saying that he’s anti-abortion, even for child victims of sexual abuse. It’s horrible enough to force a grown woman to carry a pregnancy against her will, but a little girl that’s been raped?? That’s indescribably heinous.
Not only that, but he said that about his 10-year old daughter
The funny thing is, if her family is wealthy, they’ll just take care of it. It’s poor and brown/Black girls they want to keep barefoot and pregnant. It’s not about oppressing girls — that’s just a side effect they’re glad for. It’s about maintaining the class divide.
My eternal sense of wonder. Thinking if any given picture of his has or has not been altered to make his face smaller. And the amusing conclusion that I cannot really tell.
Sophist -> nazi propagandist.
His legacy is rabid 2a support at any cost, calling empathy a fake word, extreme transphobia and racism, sympathising with Nazis and school shooters, and getting Fatalitied like a Mortal Kombat character
being a gender neutral toilet
