In order to feel sorrow and sadness for the death of a person, first I need to respect that person in life. I don't have to be a relative or close person to that person, but at least have some respect. In this world you either gain or lose the respect of people, and Charlie Kirk never earned my respect. he was a terrible person alive who did a lot of damage to the world.
Charlie Kirk spread misinformation, was an bigoted person, and advocated for violence. And I find it hypocritical for people to tell me to respect his death when he sowed the seeds of his own death by creating this environment we live in and that people complain about. yes, violence is bad and there should be better ways to solve problems but that doesn't redeem this piece of shit and he wasn't even an important person in life, he was just an insufferable asshole who lived from doing inflammatory speeches, and his only achievement in life was to give a platform to horrible people and to the current social division and benefit from that division.
and if you still believe that the guy was good person who never did wrong or contributed negatively to the current social and political landscape here's a list of the things he said in life, with sources:
- Gay people should be stoned to death
- If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like: "Boy, I hope he's qualified."
- Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband and have a ton of children
- I'm not a fan of retirement, I don't think retirement is biblical
- British colonialism actually made the world decent
- If some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out + David DePape's trial for the assault of the Pelosi's
- You cannot have liberty if you don't have a Christian population
- MLK Jr. was an awful person
- The Great Replacement Theory is a reality + The Great Replacement conspiracy theory
- Hydroxychloroquine is 100% effective against COVID-19 + Hydroxychloroquine and its side effects
- It’s almost this apartheid-style. Oh, you can have your freedom back if you get the jab
- It's worth to have some gun deaths every single year so we can have the 2nd Amendment
- Having children is more important than having a good career
- Birth control like really screws up female brains
- George Floyd was a scumbag
- The 1964 Civil Rights Act has now turned into an anti-white weapon + Civil Rights Act of 1964
- Mamdani is a parasite. We are not a dumping ground for the rest of the planet
- Palestine doesn't exist
I ask again: how do you want me to respect a horrible person who spent all his life spitting poison and benefiting from a divided society?
look, I'm not asking for more violence and harassment for the family, what I'm trying to saying is that we should not forget that this guy was a bad person who did pretty much harm to society and we shouldn't remember him fondly, we cannot "focus on the good" when there was no good to begin with, at best, we should remember him more as a lesson for what not to do in the future and avoid this type of person and fight their wrong doings with Information, basic reasoning and a bit of critical thinking, because that was Kirk's way to earn his life and lead to all the problems we are suffering right now. he died because of the environment he helped to create and feeling empathy for him feels wrong when you remember that he once said:
"I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage" - Charlie Kirk
And if he didn't believe in basic empathy then why I should feel bad for him? Kirk was an asshole that exploited the believes of vulnerable people and the ignorance of a country to benefit personally and politically and no one will miss him, except... IDK 4Chan and Twitter and the rest of racist, transphobes/homophobes, xenophobes, and conspiracy nuts online and you shouldn't pay attention to the condolences the US and UK and other governments are doing to him. if people want to remember his life than dead (like a normal passing of a person) then let's remind people who really was Charlie Kirk in life and on top of that let's not forget the other issues going around, specially for what's happening internationally.
The only thing I can do is dedicating this song to him:
Stay safe.
