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?
It's the money that funds charlatans like him that has power, not him personally.
The supply of right-wing quislings are endless.
Anyhow the first reply is right and the right-wing oligarchy mainly operates through such puppets.
He was already forgotten before the killing. He was only big during the early years of alt right
>>2507991He was a internet personality that was groomed by his own class(his mommy being a stockbroker, and daddy being business partners with Trump through construction)to represent their interests, no different than your average politician. Meaning he is replaceable, if Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh disappeared tomorrow, it would be shocking for about a week yet everyone would move on since they are just mouthpieces of the ruling class like Kirk was.
It was an honest forced media effort that failed, he was and still is a nobody
>>2507991American conservatives still care and he's still being worked into the republican party mythological ethos. Expect to still hear about him every so often for the next ten years.
I think they devalued his death by trying so hard to politicize it. They turned their own tragedy into a mockery. Also the man was shit and nobody really liked him to begin with except some fringe qanon weirdos.
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.
Because you're terminally online and you have no attention span and if something isn't trending on your social media phone for an entire four days it's been "memoryholed" or some other bullshit paranoid notion of forgotten.
The world only moves that fast if that's how you engage with it.
>>2508182OP evidently didn't forget, neither did he say so, but yeah, glad you could be an asinine sophist 'dunking' on someone. kek
>>2508182also nice reddit spacing you clown
>>2508089This, 100%. They tried so hard to martyr him that it repulsed the general public, even more so since he had been so forgotten in the public eye before his death that a lot of people had to look up just who the fuck he was when it was announced that he was killed; and whatever they found was either the most repugnant of his statements, or blatant attempts at making a hagiography for him while conveniently omitting just exactly who he was and what he stood for. So now he's just one of the many thousands of deaths caused by the epidemic of gun violence in this country that he said was worth it for an unaltered 2nd amendment while also willingly overlooking the other factors that have led to people choosing guns as the solution to all of their problems. The only difference between him and many of the others is that he was one of the more notable ones instead, and therefore, he might continue to be directly named while being brought up as an example of gun violence whenever the topic is being discussed.

Best post
Addendum to that IMO is that the point was to justify a keener crackdown on the "left" and setting the bases for a red scare. There is no point in reminding the base of Kirk's retard takes when you intend to go much further. The outcomes of this red scare we are seeing are much more satisfying to the base, as well, than anything Kirk ever said, because these are real.
>>2508206She was never Charlies. Charlie was for the moment, Trump is for eternity.
Because Kirk was ultimately a banal, unoriginal and uninspiring speaker. Whose only talent was appearing 'normal' whilst regurgitating the droppings rich people were feeding him.
People still bring up Burke, even Enoch Powell and De Maistre are quoted from time to time. But what has Kirk ever said that was interesting or profound?
Basically
>>2508114It's really the fate of any right wing media personality. How many people ever bring up Limbaugh? James Dobson died a couple months ago and nobody gave a fuck about that. Like multiple people said already, these are disposable pawns for the ones who actually have power.
It was tossed aside since it was a flawed redirection away from the paedo-fikes that backfired. Maybe the hit was to incite resentment against some leftist bogeyman but the algorithm which relegates conspiracy theories to digital ghettos will bury the botched conspiracy so nobody outside remembers the plastic gun stock and grip on a Remington found in a box when they claimed it was a Mauser and all the other phony hearsay presented as evidence when the crime scene was scrubbed and paved over… from 'flooding the zone', most people have 'oversaturation fatigue', for lack of a better term. And most people are afraid. That part is by design.
One theory claimed he was behind a ballistic panel, which is the only way that pew pew could lodge shrapnel in his vertebrae without causing a blowout, and which could've caused the neck cavitation that broke his necklace and neck, but he refused the use of ballistic panels even though he was warned beforehand.
Right-wing public figures typically don't leave behind endearing legacies. All the havoc they cause tends to sour the world's memory of them after they're gone. Just look at Margaret Thatcher. I think even God laughed when she died.
>>2508219I had to look up who he was. I saw a priest call him a modern St. Paul, so I looked for examples where he was scourged and beaten by Jews everywhere he went but I didn't find any. The influencer seemed petty, vindictive and immature so I couldn't listen to him for long. Maybe the priest was talking about a different St. Paul?
>>2508012Charlie Kirk dying is the best thing that happened to the Charlie Kirk show. Her wife was trying and failing miserably to not look overjoyed in every public appearance
>>2507991How long can you talk about some dead guy? I think a month is pushing it. What more is there to say?
>Kirk dead>more news at tenI think even a president dying or Kobe didn't get more than a month of daily coverage.
>>2508012True, no one gave a fuck about him before he died. Now conservacucks will moralfag if you dare make an objectively hilarious joke about Charlie Kirk overdosing on fentanyl.
>>2507991like him or not, you all can't deny he was the throat goat.
>>2511442The sad thing is that conservative retards will eat that shit up and will threaten to get you fired from your job if you make fun of Charlie Kirk. We have to remember that our opposition is subhuman and stupid.
>>2512701It's bullshit and I 1000000000000% believe it.
>>2512701I mean if it causes people to be more anti-Israel, I don't necessarily have a problem with people using this.
