Not even a month passed and it seems like Charlie Kirk's death has been tossed aside. They even rolled out new replacements for him. Sure, the Trump admin might try some shit but it feels like the public no longer cares, assuming they ever did.
Why do you think this is?
I think this article summed it up pretty well:
>Charlie Kirk was a man who chose to devote his life to making the world a stupider and more violent place. There is something which one can find within most people which was missing from him. Whether he was born without it or, rather, it was taken from him at a young age is ultimately academic. What matters is that this emptiness made him desirable to a certain faction of Capital, not really people, you understand, just some flows which all for one reason or another would like to drown the world, and he was happy to become their vessel. He encouraged them to pour their infernal sludge into that emptiness, and fill him up with it, so that he might work it into something which could spread across society like cultural black mold. It's a real laugh seeing his colleagues and collaborators wax poetic about the depth of his "faith" - this man believed in nothing as much as anyone has ever really believed in nothing. He was a cardboard cutout, an empty signifier. He had never existed before and he had existed since the beginning of history, might perhaps have invented it. His face had no features. His body was wrong. When you tried to look at him, the light started to bend funny ways. His family, of course, doesn't really exist, either. They're just an idea, like gravity, indexed to some bodies in a very bad dream. There was really no substance to Kirk's life, is my point. To paraphrase that gay novel half his fans are obsessed with, he simply was not there. There was only one real thing about him, and it was his willingness to make himself useful to death. It is this which will define him, ultimately, and nothing else - we can say this for sure now because his project is over and the results are in: he won! He accomplished his goal. Spurting like a broken sprinkler on a college quad in Utah, he achieved apotheosis. I wonder, do you think he felt anything?
"Meaninglessness" by David C. Porter, Substack
I mean, shit man, what is there to say about him? There's nothing. He lived and died for basically nothing. He spent his life farming clips of him "owning da libz" with edited, out-of-context videos of him "debating" unprepared teenagers (since he got his ass absolutely handed to him every time he tried it with people who knew what they were doing). He was worthless, he lived for nothing and died for even less. He was more useful dead than alive, since in his death they could pretend the left were violent and the fascists were the reasonable ones. They could try to make him into a Horst Wessel, but since modern Fascists understand very little about the principles of politics and even less about Fascism past, their cargo-cult approach to attempting to lionise his "memory" fell completely flat. They have no idea in the slightest how to effectively weaponise his death in face of a disillusioned population that neither knew who he was or cared, and those who did know him absolutely hated him. Kind of hard to weaponise his "memory" as a political tool when there's nothing about him people want to remember.
There's something darkly ironic that the man who believed that Black Women were subhuman was only mourned by Candice Owens, a Black Woman. She was the only person who was even remotely normal about his death. His wife used it to push her own grift. His "friends" used him for a political rally and forgot about him the next week. The president he was so slavishly loyal to for all his political life could not even summon the energy to *pretend* to care about him.
Charlie Kirk was a fascist loser whose life meant nothing. It is just as Mao Zedong said:
>To die for the people is weightier than Mount Tai, but to work for the fascists and die for the exploiters and oppressors is lighter than a feather.
Rest in piss, Charlie. You truly will not be missed.
