[–] flandish@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (3 children) If he gets Kirk’d what narrative is there for him to share? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children) Were you not paying attention to how Kirk was "martyred" by the mainstream media? Did you not see how who Charlie Kirk was before he was killed become merely an uncomfortable detail to a rousing story of tragedy after he was killed? Charlie Kirk's ideas will NEVER be challenged, lampooned and dismantled fairly because his ideas are overshadowed by the narrative of his murder. If a leftist shot someone like Kirk it would be the beginning of a brutal implosion of civil liberties that would make what has happened so far look relatively limited in comparison. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Are you joking??? The mainstream media tried turning him into a martyr, sure, but to what end? Abject failure. Like, c'mon, name one person who has taken his ideas more seriously since his neck just did that. I'll wait. His lifetime dedication to making the world a worse place was put to an abrupt end, and his entire legacy of cruelty has become nothing more than a joke, with his name now a mere punchline. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago Charlie Kirk became a far more accepted figure after his death, killing him made the rightwing movement stronger, that really isn't up for debate the effect is so obvious. permalink fedilink source parent
