Exactly. He went all in on DEI is a failure and non-whites totally depend on it so america has by policy created a bunch of unqualified people in leadership positions.

Except Asians. Asians are white.

oh, I think he could correctly define it. He just wasn't interested in doing so.

Watched a few of of his “debates” with students. Rarely did I see him debate a professor or a peer. He was intelligent. He also debated unfairly - bullying, interrupting and personal attacks when he was losing. Hard to tell if he sincerely believed many of his talking points, or if they were just methods to make money and achieve political goals. Seems likely he was a narcissist and possibly a sociopath.

Charlie Kirk has a history of violent and bigoted rhetoric.

If you think he had good ideas your're a Nazi.

The Gish Gallop: Throw about so many fallacies that the opponent hasn't time to address them all. A technique borrowed from creationists.

You know, I'm starting to think that there isn't much actual appreciation of Charlie Kirk in this thread because the appreciators know that the things they appreciate about him are actually racist, misogynist, and evil...


That couldn't be, could it?

While no one deserves to die like Kirk did and I feel horrible for his children (in part because their parents were/are such vile individuals), the world is a better place without Kirk in it.

Side note: Maybe I should have, but I didn’t know Charlie’s wife is as evil as Charlie was.

- He preached public executions + avoidable gun deaths thanks to lax gun control laws and he was able to die poetically in a manner representative to those values

- At least one white cis male school shooter didn't kill any kids in his death, thanks to Kirk being the sole target

- He helped us see that all modern conservatives aren't just people who have political leanings slightly right of historical centre, but rather bonafide fascists with strong cognitive dissonance

Thank You Charlie Kirk

I appreciate that he inspired a great South Park character. Thank you for your service, Charles.

The conspiracies have been pretty entertaining to try to follow. I guess that’s something we can appreciate.

What a ridiculous list of wrongs. That's it? That justifies murder? LOL

Who suggested that? Troutman certainly didn't. Learn to read.

As everyone as explained about a 110 times, no it does not justify murder, but it may justify why people are not upset he’s no longer around.

Why do you guys struggle with this so much? The hand holding is getting to be a little bit much, especially when so many of you seem to be the type with chronically clammy palms.

Nothing justifies murder. But why waste time mourning a guy that spewed hate and division? Personally, I'd rather mourn and focus on the children who died in Colorado that same day.

At what point did you conclude Troutman was justifying murder?

But republicans don’t fan the flames. Right?
Jesus, 90 years later and this guy would have all Democrats stitch a yellow donkey on their lapels.

The similarities to 1930's Germany are appallng.
