well his wife certainly hasn’t been helping…
They tried to suppress any mention or joking of his death, but instead the free speech lawsuits are being won against the people who tried to do the suppression.
Good. The fact that we’re naming streets after him is so embarrassing
Honestly Kirk being co-opted by meme culture even in death is an absolutely fitting legacy for him to leave. As much as the right tried initially to make him out to be some sort of “activist” and martyr, the reality nobody gave enough of a shit about him genuinely to buy into it, especially since it was basically impossible with the vile shit he spewed.
Him being a meme is the only way it could’ve gone done since he gained prominence from terminally online chuds buying his “Kirk OWNS dumb libs!!!!” memes authentically. Now his visage, his wife, hell even the video of his death are just things for people to make fun of.
Let’s just stop talking about him.
After the ‘We Are Charlie Kirk’ song went viral, there was no going back.
Charlie Kirk was part of the Meme culture before his death and well, it’s not surprising that he’s stayed there either. He was never quite taken seriously in life and the anger at using his own words as why many did not like Charlie Kirk has been absurd.
His death was such a dark satire of this world and what he stood for.
