Charlie Kirk Assassination Thread

[indes]

Man if you think people saying "meh, couldn't care less about that dirtbag" is anywhere close to the vitriol going around on twitter from Kirk's fans then you're delusional. There's a huge movement going on to try and ruin the lives of anyone who spoke out about Kirk. Basically the same as what happened to that professor above. It is pretty hilarious to watch the MAGATs Karen out though. What a bunch of losers.

So we can pretty much lock this baby down, correct? It's just bringing all the same things being discussed in the US American Politics thread into a new, more visible thread.

God no please keep the white nationalist podcaster death talk in here where we can appreciate him for what he was: a cautionary tale for disaffected suburban white males. It's what he would have wanted

I had to up the privacy on my FB account. Some nutjob from California called my place of employment to try and get me fired. They laughed at him and hung up.

He’s talking about some of you. I don’t care where you sit politically, some of the behaviour in this thread is nothing but you flaunting your own mental illnesses.

The ironic thing is that everyone there calling him a Nazi and fascist, is exactly the extreme and dangerous language that contributes to political violence.

People can’t even express their political opinions anymore without being labeled with these terms, which in turn, motivates these psycho lone wolf shooters in thinking that murdering someone with a dissenting “hateful” opinion is a righteous cause.

And beyond that, it’s not even clear what a “Nazi” or “fascist” even means these days. You have people on both sides of the political spectrum labeling the other as such.

It creates such a dangerous environment where there can’t even be peaceful and dissenting political discourse.

Yep it’s the liberals in their mean words creating a dangerous environment in the United States of America.

Isn’t it funny that you’re only mad now? Where were you calling out all the hateful things that conservatives have been saying for the last decade? But now that liberals are pointing out that a terrible human being died you’re offended?

Who’s really the person with the mental illness?

Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t Either.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...e=articleShare

Kirk’s eulogists have praised him for his commitment to discourse, dialogue and good-faith discussion. Few if any of them have seen fit to mention the fact that Kirk’s first act on the national stage was to create a McCarthyite watchlist of college and university professors, lecturers and academics. Kirk urged visitors to the website to report those who “discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.”

The list, which still exists, is a catalog of speech acts in and outside the classroom. The surest way to find yourself on the watchlist as an academic is to disagree, publicly, with conservative ideology, or even acknowledge ideas and concepts that are verboten among the far right. And the obvious intent of the list is made clear at the end of each entry, where Kirk and his allies urge readers to contact the schools and institutions in question. Targets of the watchlist attest to harassment and threats of violence.

The Professor Watchlist is a straightforward intimidation campaign, and you can draw a line directly from Kirk’s work attacking academics to the Trump administration’s all-out war on American higher education, an assault on the right to speak freely and dissent.

To speak of Kirk as a champion of reasoned discussion is also to ignore his frequent calls for the state suppression of his political opponents.

It is also important to mention that Kirk was a powerful voice in support of Trump’s effort to “stop the steal” after the 2020 presidential election. His organization, Turning Point USA, went as far as to bus participants to Washington for the rally that devolved into the Jan. 6 riot attack on the Capitol.

And then there is Kirk’s vision for America, which wasn’t one of peace and pluralism but white nationalism and the denigration of Americans deemed unworthy of and unfit for equal citizenship.

On his podcast, Kirk called on authorities to create a “citizen force” on the border to protect “white demographics” from “the invasion of the country.” He embraced the rhetoric of white pride and warned of “a great replacement” of rural white Americans.

Kirk also targeted Black Americans for contempt. “Prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people — that’s a fact,” he said in 2023. Kirk was preoccupied with the idea of “Black crime,” and on the last episode of his show before he was killed, he devoted a segment to “the ever-increasing amount of Black crime,” telling his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

This is just a snippet of Kirk’s rhetoric and his advocacy. He also believed that there was no place for transgender people in American society — “We must ban trans-affirming care — the entire country,” he said in 2024 — and has denounced L.G.B.T. identities as a “social contagion.”

Cole’s Notes: “Charlie Kirk was a hero for saying whatever he believed in. But these people saying whatever they believe before or after his death shouldn’t do that.”

Hilarious!

Sure, deflect, ignore the problem. Disguise the ugliness of what has been said in this thread. Conflate it with you projecting my political leanings into the conversation.

No. What has happened in these posts just shows a derangement of some people in this thread. Full stop. If you think what has been said is fine, then you’re not okay.

Does the “leave poor Charlie alone” crowd have anything to say about Kirk’s followers and pretty much all of MAGA pushing to punish and kill all liberals? Or are they going to continue to play false equivalence, or both sides that, too?

[ResAlien]

For all the virtue signaling by the civility police I think it's fair to say the responses here have been quite tame. I don’t think a single person has posted the packwatch rest in piss bozo meme and that says a lot for the emotional growth we've all seen.

It's important that we can all disagree about things like "is being racist bad?" and at the end of the day nobody has posted the rest in piss bozo meme and that's what I would consider tangible growth.

Jesus Christ, if you think this thread is ugly I would highly recommend never using the internet again. Some things just aren't meant for everyone, and it seems maybe the internet isn't for you.

[Red Slinger]

Whether people are okay with the death of Charlie Kirk largely depends on where they see Kirk sits on the the Hitler to puppy scale:

Hitler/Stalin/etc.- almost all rational people in the world think their death was a positive and worth celebrating. They actively hurt and killed millions.
.
.
Osama Bin Laden- the vast majority of rational people think his killing was a good thing
.
.
Saddam Hussein- a generally bad guy (even though he had a family) that many saw as deserving the death penalty he received.
.
.
.
.
David Duke- head of the neo-Nazi movement in America for quite some time that has advocated for violence against jews, blacks, other minorities and LQBTQ. Not sure if he ever actually directly committed or ordered any violent acts but he certainly encouraged others to perform violent acts.
.
.
Rush Limbaugh- decades long radio host that fomented hatred against most non-white, non-hetero, non-male groups. Also a profiteer who made a fortune through divisive rhetoric.
.
.
Rando on internet- annoying twat who parrots some of the dip####s above usually without understanding what their talking about.
.
.
Person who doesn't understand issues at any depth but votes blindly based on party allegiance.
.
.
Person who doesn't care and doesn't vote
.
.
.
.
.
.
A puppy


Those who are not to torn up about Kirk's death usually see him somewhere in the Limbaugh vicinity. Those who think this is some sort of tragedy see Kirk in the internet rando or below area (which he clearly was not). The Limbaugh Line is where it gets a lot harder to answer the question "does this person deserve to die". Some of the people here include The Fonz that are advocating for some sort of appreciation or dare I say empathy for Kirk aren't against the death of really bad people. So, for those of you who are taking the moral high-road, please spare us. You are fine with certain people getting their comeuppance, you just don't agree where Kirk falls on the Hitler to Puppy scale.

So what you are saying is that you think it is ok for a few gun related deaths to protect the 2nd amendment unless it's Charlie Kirk? Better some little kids right? Oh, that isn't what you mean. Then wtf is your problem? The man preached gun related deaths and empathy is bad. So what has been said that is so wrong? Let me ask you this, if you and social media were around in the early 40's would you be defending Hitler against people celebrating his demise? Because if the answer is no then you should probably just keep quiet here

Maybe you should take your head out of the sand and realize that you’re the one deflecting and ignoring the problem. If you’re gonna support what’s going on in the US from ultra right wing conservatives then you are the problem. And supporting people like Charlie Kirk makes you a terrible person. You should look in the mirror and reevaluate how you live your life.

Cool man. You keep calling everyone you don’t agree with a fascist and a Nazi. I’m sure you’re going to continue to make things safer.

Did you even read what I wrote? I never said it was a liberal issue. I said both sides using that rhetoric is dangerous and needs to be toned down. Learn to read.

Edit - Calling someone a terrible person, as you did in your last post, because they don’t agree with your opinion, is a sure way to prove that you’re a rational and sane person. Get help.
