If you’re going to respond with barely any substance and ignore 80% of what I write then this isn’t going to be productive. Charlie Kirk was a cruel person who did not lead a life worth celebrating or emulating. He was murdered and did not deserve it. These are both true statements.

He lived and profited as a right wing troll. He provoked people to get a rise which was rewarded with clicks and money. His entire enterprise was indicative of what is wrong with this country right now and anyone heralding him as this MLK Jr. figure should be ashamed of the white washing they’re participating in.

This was a man who had a “woke professor” list (TP USA’s professor watchlist) which published the names of professors he considered “dangerous Marxists,” people that I know personally and who have subsequently received death threats and other fun treats as a result of his actions.

I won’t keep rattling off his sins because at some point it’s just unproductive. He did not deserve to die, but I will not be compelled to celebrate a person who did not exist.
