The idea Charlie Kirk was engaged in respectful dialogue is like watching a real time myth be invented. Where did this reputation come from? He was a dismissive piece of shit who deflected everything. His dialogue consisted of choosing confused teenagers to represent entire political concerns and then using sophistry to make them mad.

That's what his form of discussion was, he tried getting teenagers mad because it got him attention on the internet. And even then you don't have to get into the specifics of his argument style or whatever. He was bankrolled by oil billionaires and megachurches. He was a mouthpiece who was amplified through money, which should put his entire scruples in question, shouldn't it? Like I hear the term career politician get thrown around a lot, Kirk was a career propagandist.

Am I supposed to believe that if Kirk had simply heard the correct arguments for why it should be legal to be Trans, or why Muslims are in fact human, then was he going to disband TPUSA? "Hey all my billionaire friends and my republican party colleagues, I'm really sorry but I have to go be a leftist now because I talked for 5 minutes with a 19 year old polici major at Villanova and she made some very interesting points."

Yeah it's not a productive dialogue if one side is a student and the other side is a literal millionaire who makes money off arguing for why millionaires are cool
