    Calling Kirk’s murder a “debate loss” is so fucking funny. Esp the discourse around debate celebrities in general.

    I can’t fucking stand Slavoj Zizek but the way he broke Peterson’s brain by just agreeing with him back when people gave a shit and JP was at the height of his chud intellectual celebrity – so much so that he spiraled into benzo addiction and dropped from the public spotlight for a year and a half was hilarious.

    But the phrase, “he will never recover” is so prevalent in these asinine YouTube debate wank spaces. And yet truly, thankfully, CK will never recover

    And you can’t make this up, he was literally in a tent that had the words “Prove me wrong” written in big letters

    Twenty years from now, no one will remember the name Charlie Kirk except for us nerds. That’s the best legacy we could hope for for such a horrid human being.

    This reminds me that every conversation about Charlie Kirk should begin and end with his final words:

    “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” he asked.

    “Too many,” Kirk quipped. The crowd clapped and cheered.

    Five, the audience member claimed. “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” the man continued.

    Kirk leaned forward and picked up his mic before setting back into an upright position. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” he said.

    A loud “pop” suddenly rang out.

    I’m always going to think this was the cia, or some other group. They use clowns and don’t care what happens to them. In this case I think kirk was a write off and the kid that shot him was manipulated into doing in an organic way.

    The real game will end lives for theater and this was exactly that.

      And it would be quite easy too, lock him in information bubble and slowly manipulate him to do it. Considering levels of surveliance it would be easy to set pieces in real world and in internet.

        I don’t understand why you think this. These online echo chambers already exist. Why would it have to be the CIA that pushed him to do it? IMO, that’s just conspiratorial thinking with no evidence.

          I just said it would be easy and I don’t believe in it either. But I bet many of these echo chambers are run by government organizations.

      I’m convinced that Israel had something to do with it. He didn’t get in line when the rest of the clowns fell into place. Then his handler aka his wife tried to convince him to get with the program, he refused. Fighting ensued, they were going through marital problems at the time (text message evidence).

      Then whatta you know, his now widowed wife takes over his business, goes on tour with fake ass tears (videos of her dropping them in before going on stage), and brings in none other than her ex boyfriend to run Toilet Paper USA with her…

        I don’t know why people need Charlie Kirk to be this martyr for Palestine when he was pro-genocide until the very end.

        The only thing he went back and forth on were the Epstein files which lends credibility to my theory that the Trump admin is behind his assassination since Trump is all over the files and they couldn’t have somebody with ties to the White House grant his followers permission to investigate his involvement.

      The thing that really blasts a hole in the neck of any conspiracy theory is that he was maybe a third-tier rodeo clown who had very little mainstream visibility

      He started talking shit about the poor downtrodden snowflake victim Israelis and got shot afterwards. Then Netanyahu puts out a video thanking Americans for the money they extorted from us, which has never happened as far as I recall, and firmly let everyone know that it was absolutely not them who was responsible for his death.

      Can’t imagine what happened there.
