I’d only heard of him in the sense of him being one of a flock of fascist wastes of oxygen who grifted around the country spewing hate and violence and making people’s lives worse and more dangerous. He was a name on a list of scum who we’d better off with them never having been born.

All I’ve learned about him since is that I was fucking right. Having him not exist anymore is a net gain in the long term but he’s still pissing me off for now by the fact that I’m wasting my fucking time and my fucking attention and my fucking blood pressure on his fucking bullshit even more than I was.

He can fucking rot with Rush Limbaugh and Joseph Goebbels and the rest of their fucking detestable cabal of fucking filth. If I never hear his fucking name again it’ll be too fucking soon and the universe still owes me my fucking time back from every moment I’ve wasted having to fucking be exposed to this shit.

I had no idea, but I watched one of the early South Market episodes this season. And Cartman was pretending to be him.

As soon as I watched some of the footage of the deed, I knew exactly who he was based on the South Park. But prior to that, no, absolutely not.

I was aware of his existence. Saw him say some racist shit once. Wrote him off as a chud mouthpiece. Maybe a Podcaster or something.

Never heard about the guy before his death, but to my credit, i live in Europe. Paradoxically, his death looks like a benediction for the reps, they have now a new pretext to cancel or condemn the dems, they just have to look a bit too happy about his assassination.

I knew barely, just some of stuff he said. He was a nazi cunt. And member of the paedophile cult (christian).

You probably saw images of Kirk and assumed they were bad photoshops of Shapiro. They basically were two cheeks of the same ass spewing hateful shit for far right to gobble up.

Kirk was often mocked for having a round head and relatively small face, where Shapiro was generally mocked for his numerous bad takes and awful admissions. Both of them had almost identical debate styles of just doubling down on false narratives and denying anything contrary to their agenda even in when presented with proof.

Heard of the name but just like ben shapiro, don’t know or care about them. The memes about kirk were funny but now getting bored of it. There are worse things going on right now than some streamer getting shot.

Who gives a shit about him anyways

I never had, but after being told I figured out that he was that meme face.

Only heard of him when I subscribed to r/ToiletPaperUSA which was a parody to Turning Point USA and learnt tiny bit of what he said but I never gone out my way to research about him as I know Far-Right figures (even the online one) just pissed me off.

I only learnt lot more about him when he died when Liberals on Bluesky pull the “we should debate” and sided with Right-wingers who said it’s “The Left” is responsible. Mind you, that’s even before we found out both the killer and their political stance which turns out, he’s the Groyper (some 4Chan far-right bullshit). Think he killed Charlie as they believe he wasn’t Right-wing enough and had for years spread an smear campaign I believe against him.

Only know him from the Jubilee videos where that have guests on and sit in a circle of 20 people with a different view point than the one in the middle.

He came off as the shamelessly smarmy, creepy, dishonest, and that first impression never got any better any of the few times his videos came up in my feed.

Whomever shot him has made the world a better place. Fuck Charlie Kirk and everyone like him

I’m not even American and I knew who he was. For years I’ve been seeing memes about his face to head ratio and his gummy teeth.

I probably heard of him and saw pictures of him but all the alt right folks look alike and say the same things, so he particularly never registered for me. Whoever he was.

I heard of him, but never thought he was this damn important. And this is why the censorship campaign is so frustrating to me. For anyone who hasn’t heard of him, he was not “doing politics the right way”.

Charlie Kirk was a bigot.

Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot.

All the firings and censorship and hand-wringing about “lowering the temperature” do not change this simple fact.

Charlie Kirk was a bigot.

Before the assassination, I just knew him as the tiny face chud with Turning Point USA who spewed insipid talking points to “own” the left.

If you’ve seen him before, it was probably in a meme like this.
