Sounds good

He wasn't even a believer in the shit he was peddling, just a talking head paid by grifters.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 32 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They killed him so I mean…

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

He was an evil fuck who had it coming, among other reasons for preaching about the virtues of guns.

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.

Still rather miraculous. Is there even a scar?

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 4 points 8 hours ago

I saw one of his heads which seemed to have a fatal wound, but his fatal wound was healed; and the entire earth followed after the beast in amazement.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

Nope. It looks like he never actually was injured. Almost as if it was a lie.

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 171 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 111 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 61 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Got shot at a school, by a white kid for being not racist enough

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

Trump just needs to die on the crapper to cement his legacy.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

The ONE TIME in his life where he finally leaned left on the topic of gun violence. So inspiring!

Proof that people can change

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

"Ask me about my homebrew tracheotomy."

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s what should happen to people who simp for the Fourth Reich.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The public mocking or ... the other thing?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 6 points 22 hours ago

The other thing. Mockery only strokes the ego of the one doing the mocking. Direct Action eliminates the problem.

Oh, please. That asshole got exactly what he asked for. And after he was gone, his wife showed exactly what she is: a spineless, petty, money-grubbing whore.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 7 points 20 hours ago

He said, to paraphrase because i don't remember exactly what he said, that a few gun deaths is fine as long as they keep their 2A rights. Serves him right. ironic as fuck.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was a joke way before that

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep. Huge head, tiny face, running Toilet Paper USA.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago

He was a tiny faced meme in life too.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 12 points 22 hours ago

There's something incredibly satisfying and encouraging about this, like watching a viper's leaden soul being weighed by Anubis and devoured by Ammit in real time.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 21 hours ago

Everything he did in his life was useless regardless of whether he was shot or not.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 9 points 1 day ago

it's telling that she's more pissed off over been mocked by a black guy than the death of her husband.
