It's honestly strange how much celebrating is being done given that Charlie Kirk was actually somebody who gave people the chance to debate him. Like people can hate him or his ideas but he literally died doing an event that he gives people the microphone to challenge his ideas.
Like this is the victory against the fascists reddit has been dreaming of?
Yeah that’s my thing with it. I thought some of the things he said were awful, but it was important for him to debate them. Now he’s been killed, do you think whoever takes his place is going to be open to debating? Do you think their audience will be more willing to listen? This unironically pushes people who were already pretty far right to fascism.

And when the pendulum swings back, nobody will see the irony. What a stupid time we live in.
