Couldn’t have happened to a bigger piece of shit.
Now we just gotta keep the ball rolling and erase the lifetime achievements of everyone else on the Far Right.
Very inspirational tweet. Thanks for the pick-me-up, OP.
I mean his death couldn’t have been more memable. He literally got shot at a school by a white kid. While talking about school shootings, trying to shift the focus onto black gangs, standing under a prove me wrong tent.
Got shot at a school, by a white kid for being not racist enough
Ah, the land of the free. Where you might get shot by a racist for not being racist OR shot by a super-racist for only being normal racist.
I mean, I’m not going to pretend to know everything, obviously a lot of it is media coverage etc… not enough is known, and hell there’s the weird oddities that make me question the entire robinson narrative. (IE the assemble/dissassemble the rifle multiple times that don’t make sense, the fact that the supposed exit wound looks more like an entry wound etc…), But assuming robinson is the shooter, with what we can see, it seems more likely he was against kirks hatred rather than feeling it didn’t go far enough.
I will admit there’s not enough to go on to get a picture, but with everything that is there, I don’t really see anything there that points to robinson being a bigot.
We don’t really know how he leaned. The left was told he was a gopher while the right was told he was a leftist.
I think the whole gopher (edit: groyper) thing was the CIA doing damage control to avoid an other Luigi situation.
Umm… you think the CIA planted evidence to paint him as a right-winger, to avoid blaming it on the left…?
Are you being sarcastic? What world do you live in?
What evidence though? All they did was tell the media which way to spin it. I don’t know of anything that actually points to him being a groyper. His family said he was tired of Kirk spreading hate (his words) and he had a trans girlfriend. That doesn’t scream groyper to me.
He was painted as the enemy to both sides btw, as a right-winger to us and as a lefty to conservatives.
I think it’s to avoid copy cats maybe but also, I’m not entirely certain he did it. And if he didn’t do it, then it’s convenient to have him the villain so nobody looks too hard or pays much attention to the trial, compared to Luigi’s trial for instance.
Basically, he is now part of the out group for everyone, and anyone bringing up inconsistencies is by extension also part of that out group and can be ignored.
In any case, I’m just glad he did it lol.
the CIA doing damage control to avoid an other Luigi situation.
I’m just going to sit and look at this for a while, then shake my head and walk away.
Hey now thinking doesn’t work for everyone, at least they tried I guess. Try again tomorrow
I don’t know of anything solid that points to him being a right winger. Most of it seems to be based on what his family believes and ignores the rest. Doesn’t help that his social media presence was scrubbed.
True.
Not an American myself, so I have to add an extra opening here
Some kids shoot up their entire class or even younger classes
We don’t ask their political stance there per sé, we can also just say they went nuts and picked an easy target
I think maybe this kid just picked a really good target, and maybe he was trying to find a new group by doing what he did. Maybe it was atoning for his parents and his own beliefs.
Lots of maybe, but again; he is just a killer in the end. Why make it political
*groyper
Well if you put it that way…
Trump just needs to die on the crapper to cement his legacy.
I need it to be so much more televised. I need him to just stop talking mid-sentence, fall over, and shit himself all on live TV. So far ive only gotten 1/3 of that.
Have you made this exact comment before? I’m fully on board with it, it’s much better than any ideas I had
Personally, I won’t be satisfied with anything less than full-on Chef’s death in South Park. Anything else would just not quite be enough.
Watching death note and fantasizing
No, there are other shits at least as big as him.
He deserved it. His legacy is shit and garbage because his life was shit and garbage.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who’d never heard of him before he died.
Demoralizing? Knowing that absolute shit people will always be remembered as absolute shit people is heartening.
Meanwhile, I still keep confusing him with Ben Shapiro.
Ben talks funnier, while charlie had a funnier head
Charlie also had a leaky neck.
Skirkibidi
Wait why is it sinister and demoralizing? I find it a laugh. Also he’s been fucking canonized by the other side so cry me a damn river.
They killed him so I mean…
That’s ok. He himself said it’s worth it to have the second amendment. If he could be, I’m sure he’d be happy about it.
A tear runs down Kirk’s cheek as he looks up at us.
He was an evil fuck who had it coming, among other reasons for preaching about the virtues of guns.

oof ouch muh gun rights
The ONE TIME in his life where he finally leaned left on the topic of gun violence. So inspiring!
Thank you for your service, Charlie o>
“Ask me about my homebrew tracheotomy.”
Proof that people can change
What this guy is missing is that, prior to Kirk’s death, no one outside a very small circle of campus conservatives gave a shit about him. He was that random dude who featured in those TPUSA memes about “if you’re so x, why don’t you y”.
And now everybody’s talking about him.
It’s not just leftist mockery that’s turned up to 11. I live in a college town. I see posters advertising TPUSA and College Republican meetings all the time. Campus chaplains are still opening Sunday sermons with moments of silence for Charlie. The fucking recruiters are using Kirk to convince kids to enlist.
Conservative college students used to stay quiet. Now they’re loud and proud - even louder and louder than the liberal students - and it’s because of Kirk.
And of course conservatives are going full Sunni/Shiite split quoting Kirk (in and out of context) to claim that he would support or oppose the Third Gulf War. He’s like the mirror universe MLK - his memory is so powerful that conservatives are fighting over who gets to claim it.
And I’ve seen more memes about Kirk in the last few months than I did in his entire lifetime, and that’s not a good thing if you think he’s a shitty cryptofascist who should disappear into the same unmarked grave they dumped Rush Limbaugh into.
First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. How does that go?
The fact that everybody on the left is making fun of Kirk - and everybody on the right is trying to claim him for their own - is really, really bad, because it shows he’s far more influential and powerful and dangerous dead than he ever was alive.
And the fact that literal fascist Nick fucking Fuentes has emerged as the heir apparent to Charlie Kirk and the thought leader of young Republican men nationwide should terrify everyone.
I’m supposed to give a shit that some fascist propagandist died?
Bring his widow here and i’ll laugh in one of her two faces.
He wasn’t even a believer in the shit he was peddling, just a talking head paid by grifters.
He was a joke way before that
Yep. Huge head, tiny face, running Toilet Paper USA.
That’s what should happen to people who simp for the Fourth Reich.
The public mocking or … the other thing?
Both?
The other thing. Mockery only strokes the ego of the one doing the mocking. Direct Action eliminates the problem.
But sometimes… the other thing.
Most of the time the other thing.
The only good fascist is a dead fascist.
Mockery
Basically, everything he ever did in life has been rendered useless
I wish that was true. Fucker’s ideology is still alive and kicking (vulnerable people in the teeth). We need to make it unacceptable and punish those who cause harm onto others.
