Dude, I had never even HEARD of this guy’s name prior to his death. What is going on here!? Why are people freaking out. Am I that out of touch?
Even my liberal wife was aware of who this guy was. Was anyone else like me?
I know who Ben Shapiro is. But Charlie Kirk!? This entire time both the left and the right either hates or adored this guy? What are you all surfing on your cell phones!?
Only know him from the Jubilee videos where that have guests on and sit in a circle of 20 people with a different view point than the one in the middle.
He came off as the shamelessly smarmy, creepy, dishonest, and that first impression never got any better any of the few times his videos came up in my feed.
Whomever shot him has made the world a better place. Fuck Charlie Kirk and everyone like him
Never heard of him before. Now I’ve learned that he seemed like a really horrible person…
Anyone who thinks Charlie Kirk was just some nice Christian who loved the First Amendment needs to get MUCH better sources of information than they currently have.
I heard of him, but never thought he was this damn important. And this is why the censorship campaign is so frustrating to me. For anyone who hasn’t heard of him, he was not “doing politics the right way”.
Charlie Kirk was a bigot.
Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot.
All the firings and censorship and hand-wringing about “lowering the temperature” do not change this simple fact.
Charlie Kirk was a bigot.
I had seen his face on Rick & Morty before. That’s it I had no idea the hate he peddled or anything
I was just perma’d from reddit for commenting on him “getting slimed.” It was a fucking JOKE.
Look, if people are celebrating your death, no amount of revisionism is going to change a god damn thing – you’re a terrible human being. All this censorship and chilling effects? Not going to make people shut up forever. You’re going to embolden them.
I thought I did, because people were saying he was the “change my mind” guy and I remembered him from some internet memes a looonng time ago. Turns out that wasn’t even Charlie’s thing, he just kind of adopted it and was known for that. So yeh, I thought I knew who he was and turns out he was even less significant.
i knew he existed but i didn’t know he was actually relevant. i thought he was just, like, an annoying guy
Be thankful that you’re not online enough to know him. Enjoy the beautiful outside!
I’m online 247 and was aware of him but never watched 1 minute of his propagonda. Similarly, never watched or clicked on any MrBeast or Logan Paul videos or podcast in my entire life.
I had no idea. Turns out if heard of him a couple times but he was not relevant enough to remember. He was just another bootlicking sycophant and quite frankly I laughed out loud when I heard a conservative advocate for 2nd amendment rights had been shot. After reading through his history of opinions I just wish I’d had the opportunity to laugh harder. I’m not really political as an accelerationist, but it is pretty fucking funny, and the pearl clutching from all the big talking conservatives is simply priceless.
I only found out who he was when someone was talking about the Gavin Newsom podcast a few months ago
I knew who he was, but just grouped him together with all the other manosphere shitspinners.
I knew him because of the memes that distorted his face to look like “Butthead” from the cartoon and the “change my mind” meme. I didn’t know how ingrained his shitty answer-as-accusation or racist dogwhistle was in right wing circles.
Isn’t Stephen Crowder the guy in the change my mind meme?
Is it? Maybe I got them confused because of Kirk’s “change my mind” bs.
Charlie Kirk stole Stephen Crowders shtick.
Steven Crowder is the meme
Never knew him before his death because I’m not 'murican
I only ever knew him from his JDV-adjacent tiny face memes, and never by name.
