Let me make this pellucidly clear

Nothing changes these facts

https://racism.org/articles/defining-racism/white-privilege/12835-charlie-kirk-white-supremacist

Charlie Kirk built himself into the face of a conservative youth movement through Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Behind the branding of “patriotism” and “freedom,” the record shows a pattern of rhetoric, organizational culture, and alliances that echoed white supremacist and Christian nationalist ideologies. The Southern Poverty Law Center documented how TPUSA repeatedly framed immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and racial justice advocates as existential threats to “white Christian America,” warning followers that their families, religion, and entire way of life were under attack. In later years, Kirk openly embraced Christian nationalist language, claiming that liberty was only possible with a Christian population—a narrative tying freedom to demographic dominance, a cornerstone of supremacist logic (SPLC).

1. Letting young kids be exposed to that is abuse

And all the social media pic grabs of the shooter over the years - guns, guns, guns

Somebody get the other kids in that family a wellness check

[OLDMDDEM]

2. I have two grandchildren that are trans (LGBTQ). I fear for them. Kirk was not kind to anyone other than

christian/white nationalist individuals. That includes our current (p)resident.

3. He played his followers and opened doors for

trump and vance.
Truth tellers have been put on notice.

4. A mean, hateful small fraction of a human being that will only be missed by

mean, hateful small fractions of human beings!

[RussBLib]

15. but apparently a large fraction of the GOP Congress

judging by all the fawning I'm hearing

5. He helped lead the White-geist

28. Good one.

6. What happened Wednesday was BLOWBACK.

It was inevitable, given the climate of coarser and coarser discourse in our nation.

And I'm sorry that I'm not sorry about what happened to him.

You reap what you sow.

[twodogsbarking]

7. I think he was nuckin' futs. He was grooming followers, for Trump.

[Kid Berwyn]

8. All to advance the agenda of the plutocracy.

Tax breaks for uh the rich, for ever and ever.

14. I have been looking for

an article like this for so long!

THANK YOU!

[malaise]

18. Yes indeed

Rec

[totodeinhere]

9. None of that justifies murdering him however.

And the right wing is already calling for revenge. His murder will just feed into more violence.

[malaise]

10. Apparently you missed the

I am your retribution from the guy who fomented a failed coup then pardoned the cop killers and goons threatening to kill the VP.
Apparently you missed the slaughter of democrats in Minnesota and the attempted assassination of Paul Pelosi.
Please tell me where I justified this murder.

[totodeinhere]

19. Just because I do not approve of Kirk's murder doesn't mean that I approve of those other things.

This is what I said previously.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20624115

I specifically called out the Minnesota shooting.

To assume that I missed those other horrible things just because I said this particular shooting was unjustified is totally illogical.

[Keepthesoulalive]

11. Against who

The suspect belongs to another white fascist group. It appears to be a part of the Nick Fuentes group. Democrats and the liberals don’t have any say in this fight. They are reaping what they have sown.

[totodeinhere]

20. I don't know if that has been confirmed but I suspected as much and said so on DU.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220629582

[Keepthesoulalive]

22. That's between them

Rumor has it that Fuentes is afraid of retribution and that’s their problem. I’m sure they will wort it out.

[totodeinhere]

25. It's not just between them. Some people are blaming the left for this so we

have a dog in this fight whether we like it or not.

[Keepthesoulalive]

26. They are always going to blame the left

Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women. They are never responsible for the chaos the bring. I can’t fix them or change them so I have no dog in this fight. They started harassing black institutions of higher learning, we are used to it. We’ve also learned not to fret.

[Joinfortmill]

12. He promoted hate speech. The End. Or as Malaise says, "That's all".

[PoliciesRuleTheDay]

13. The murderer is a loser

So Tyler Robinson went and killed a debater who opened up the floor for to Democratic college students to share their opinions and ideas. So stupid and unnecessary. That's not how you defeat someone like that. You defeat him through debate. Tell him why his ideas are wrong and how things can be improved. You don't shut down the debate. That seems to be the problem these days with younger people. They don't want debate, and anyone who disagrees with them needs to be destroyed. Even before the debate, there were [940 activists (corrected)] who signed a petition to prevent him from speaking.

[NJCher]

16. more attention needs to be paid to this statement:

Even before the debate, there were thousands of students who signed a petition to prevent him from speaking.

[Keepthesoulalive]

24. You don't platform hitler light

Imagine being gay, trans , black a woman and listening to justification for your marginalization. If it were a debate he would have to be open to changing some of his views, it was nothing more then another republican propaganda session.

[Keepthesoulalive]

23. If it is an honest debate ok

But it is a publicity stunt with really bad statistics and Gish galloping. He then takes it back to the studio and cleans it up to make it appear he had valid points.
It is a recruitment session. The man was an unrepentant monster, stop trying to clean up his image.

[underpants]

29. Tribal warfare. He's a Groyper - Nick Fuentes follower. Rival camp.

17. Kirk was a revolting white supremacist who kissed Trump's ass at every opportunity.
