I hope he's remembered for losing a bad faith argument in the most ironic way possible.

i hope he's not remembered at all, like his cause (someday)
So we're doing the "doomed to repeat it" thing again in like 80 years, got it
Remembering Hitler and the abhorrent shit nazis did has not prevented nazism from rising again. If we want to be really pessimistic we're doomed either way.

I swear to god, it’s like The Game. I go months without thinking about Charlie Kirk and when it happens I feel like I’ve lost.
Sorry, by the way.

You hope who isn't remembered
“I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational,”
I don't really want to watch the video of him talking again, or of a human dying, but is that actually what he was saying when his neck just did that?
No. His last words were insinuating that mass shooters were mostly gang violence.
Fair enough. The irony would be too thick, if it were so.
Paraphrased:
Guy at mic: How many mass shootings were perpetrated by trans people?
Charlie: too many! (Crowd cheers)
Guy at mic: and how many mass shootings in general were there?
Charlie: Counting or not counting gang violence? (Gets shot, dies)

Spent his life arguing against the public good. Ended his life as a fountain.
LOL
but people failed to realize that mediocre white men should be able to live a happy and fulfilling lives, too. like all of us should. they used to be able to do that by doing less skilled labour like manufacturing etc, and still be able to afford a home and decent life. that's until capital possessing elites decided that it is more profitable to use cheap off shore labour. that as well as worsening inequality left them miserable and without purpose.
too bad centrist politicians are mostly being bought out by capital, that's why opportunist grifters like Charlie Kirk was able to fill the vacuum that was left, and poison the mind of these people.
This is why, if you are going to caucus with Democrats, its important to insist on universalism in whatever social programs get focused on for a platform. Democrats look towards their technocrats to support 'means testing' as a way to split hairs and preserve capitalist ideals while offering soft changes on social programs. The result is that we end up with historically racists and sexist programs (look into the origination and implementation of social security).
The answer is straightforwards. Raise the floor. Programs need to be universal, period. There is no cost savings in piecemeal solutions or means testing; its an intentional way to sabotage the social project.
No one is talking to mediocre white men about their worries and dreams.
Someone paid him.

Not that I disagree with the message, but why is most of it highlighted?

His death was hilarious and I'm glad it happened
I have a hard time celebrating anyone's death (there are a few I'm looking forward too though), but it's hard to classify Kirk's as undeserved. Hell, he preemptively justified his own death in that golden quote about "some shooting deaths are necessary in order to uphold the 2nd amendment".
I personally don’t think people should be shot for things they say. I think watching an old, decrepit Kirk fade into obscurity would be a lot more satisfying.
The problem with that is the decades he would continue to sow discourse and spread hate.
On one hand I agree, there could have been worse outcomes for him that he would have deserved, but on the other hand it is good that he can no longer cause any more harm himself

Every time I do it makes me laugh, How did his shirt get so red, And what the hell is up with Charlie's head?
Counting or not counting gang violence?
As a mediocre white guy who dropped out of college
Fuck that guy
I also am a mediocre white guy who dropped out of college. And to top it off, I entered a field dominated by women. Am I DEI?
No you're just qualified
Who is Charlie Kirk?
A white man who leaned left.
When he couldn't get into West Point he was too much of a baby to just join up.
If he couldn't get the prettiest costume he wasn't going to play soldier.
Why are we still talking about this guy?
He was murdered, he's dead, he's no longer an issue. We have LIVING people who STILL support the same shit he did.
He got the public execution he advocated for
To be fair there are a lot of very successful college and more than you might imagine high school drop outs. The difference between them and Kirk is that they're still alive.
Yeah but they didn't get involved in gang violence like he did.
Who was Charlie Kirk again?
I tried looking him up and all the results are for someone named Erika Kirk. I think they might be someone who transitioned. Good for her.
Some kind of breakfast cereal I think.

Charlie Kirk was the human equivalent of an unfixed tomcat that hangs out in the street and yells at everyone, harasses other cats trying to go about their lives, and spreads disease and discord until they get hit by a car or someone euthanizes them.

It's objectively the truth, I agree entirely with all of it.
I've got notes on how to adapt this identical message in a way to maximally influence mediocre white men, but It's pretty clearly not for that purpose. It could be, though.
