yeah, and he worked on his legacy by just spewing out hatred to everyone, thats not white, christian and heteronormative.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He deserved it. His legacy is shit and garbage because his life was shit and garbage.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who'd never heard of him before he died.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, I still keep confusing him with Ben Shapiro.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago

Ben talks funnier, while charlie had a funnier head

[–] tomkatt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Demoralizing? Knowing that absolute shit people will always be remembered as absolute shit people is heartening.

I'm supposed to give a shit that some fascist propagandist died?

Bring his widow here and i'll laugh in one of her two faces.

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 115 points 2 days 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.

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 43 points 2 days ago (9 children)

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

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 17 points 2 days 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 16 points 2 days 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.

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 1 day ago (2 children)

They killed him so I mean…

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s ok. He himself said it’s worth it to have the second amendment. If he could be, I’m sure he’d be happy about it.

A tear runs down Kirk's cheek as he looks up at us.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 days ago

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

[–] stabby_cicada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 days ago

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.

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. First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. How does that go?

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

[–] inari@piefed.zip 11 points 2 days ago

Thank you for your service, Charlie o>

He was a joke way before that

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.

[–] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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 6 points 2 days 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.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 days ago

He was a tiny faced meme in life too.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Sounds good

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago
[–] rozodru@piefed.world 9 points 2 days ago

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