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.

      Most Nazis were “regular people” “just right wing” until the opportunity came for them to commit atrocities.

        The nazi party was far right authortarians, not just simply right wing, to say they were just right wing is disingenuous

      I know. You’re excusing him but I’m telling you that even people you would consider to be better than Kirk ended up as Nazis when the opportunity arose.

        Ok I appreciate the idea some political act alot more moderate then there actually beliefs like, that does happen alot when politicians stray the centrist line

        I just don’t think its fair to compare charlie to Himmler over the idea that Charlie could of became extremely far right wing if he gained more power
