What does this even mean?! Charlie Kirk was murdered. That’s bad. We should all regret that that happened, and take what good he accomplished and build on it. Instead, morons are choking the internet with brainrotted takes about Israel and how his wife isn’t crying the right way. Like, how was Charlie Kirk a sperg?! In what way did he manifest a thought-processing disorder that rendered him unable to process social cues and relate to others? He was a charismatic public figure who engaged in constant debate with critics and married a literal beauty queen. In what way was he similar to Russell Kirk, apart from his name?! Charlie was a populist Evangelical media figure who dropped out of college; Russell was a Catholic professor who wrote academic books on philosophy and serious fiction. If anything Charlie was Socrates and Russell was Plato, except that Russell came first. It’s all so tiresome.
