Charlie Kirk’s murder is a shock to me and prior to that I really have not thought about him for months (he apparently shared a stage with Hassan piker), of course the south Park parody.

I have ran into a few of Kirk’s supporters and apparently his legacy is his family and his apparently endless college debates that get rephrased as “debated an entire generation” and governors.

To me, it seems like Kirk was just a content creator.

    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.

    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.

    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.
