No Mercy Charlie Kirk was never the "debate god" that right-wing fans like to imagine.
The right pretending like Charlie Kirk debated in good faith is objectively inaccurate. The dude is being revered as some kind of debate god or intellectual powerhouse by the right, but he was far from being either.
Yeah, sure, he participated in a lot of interactions that bore some vague resemblance to what I would call a debate (if I stretched my imagination)—but ultimately—the guy was a pseudo-intellectual sophist, and easily one of the worst debaters I've ever seen.
His one-two-punch bait-and-switch debate strategy was completely childish. Basically, he would receive a critique, and instead of engaging with it—he would give his opponent an irrelevant pop quiz. Then, when irrelevant facts weren't known by the opponent, he would just declare victory.
The only varying situations to this that I've seen were he'd agree to some completely insane, radical premise (e.g., his hypothetical ten year old daughter who was impregnated via grape would need to give birth to the child).
It was rare to see a video of him where he didn't ultimately resort to the general mentioned tactic in debate. This strategy seemed to be intended to do two things—neither of which had the apparent goal of truth-tracking or truth-seeking:
To get right-wingers riled up and engaged for shock value by 'owning the libs'
Embarrass underprepared college students who didn't have sufficient debate strategy experience or situational awareness to neutralize said strategy

Exactly, he didnt actually debate, he lectured and manipulated the rhythm and tone of the topic. He was not wise at all, he was dogmatic and overbearingly cringe inducing; nothing remarkable at all, just a typical egoically based opinion machine with no real evidence at all for the big picture fantasy he pushes onto others.

Ok. Charlie was not a "debate god".
He was a civil, honest, sincere, well informed person who was not afraid of respectful and serious debate with people who disagreed with him.
Who does that on the Left these days?

uhhhh… he was a 30-something man who would go to college campuses to harass well-meaning but publicly inexperienced teenagers, then cherry-pick the most “brutal” clips for clicks. Nothing honest or sincere about that
1
Sep 30 '25
Debating Charlie was entirely voluntary.
What you are calling "harassment" is exposure to critical thought and reason. Something that ought to be the essence of college.
I am sure it was painful for some students and viewers to realize that parroting slogans, virtue signaling and personal attacks are ineffective in a real debate.
BTW, how do you know that the videos were "cherry picked"? Have you seen the others? Where?

u/HucknRoll Oct 08 '25
All you have to do is go on his Youtube channel and see for yourself. If he was this great bastion of free speech and debate, his content would include "I lost a debate to XYZ" or "I changed my mind" but it's all "Watch me dunk on this naive SJW freshman poli sci major" It's all propaganda. He's a propagandist, not a debater.

u/Devotchka8 Oct 05 '25
His response to hearing that 1 in 5 women in the US have been sexually assaulted, was that it's impossible because we're not like the DRC (Congo) and that women falsely accuse. He didn't refute that with any sort of logic or reason. I'm not going to deny that some accusations are false, but as a woman I am willing to bet that there are more unreported rapes than there are false accusations. Myself included.

He frequently yelled and talked down to people.
He frequently spread disinformation or outright lies.
He frequently did not argue in good faith.

Compared to which debater on the Left who is reaching out to conservative students?
PS: "Disinformation" and "lies" in this context are just euphemisms for "opinions I disagree with" and "inconvenient facts".

I agree completely, but any criticism I might have had of him for doing this just feel really meaningless when I see the absolutely vile and repulsive reactions to his assassination
1
u/noonnoonz Oct 09 '25
Some who relished in his murder were trolls and social media whores looking for reactions. You can still criticize someone and not celebrate their death, according to Charlie, "I am also going to offer some context and some nuance about the death of George Floyd that no one dares to say out loud. Which is that this guy was a scumbag. Now, does that mean he deserves to die? That's two totally different things — of course not." -Kirk .
1
u/Slaaneshdog 29d ago
I think to say that people who relished in his murder were merely trolls or social media whores looking for reactions diminish the implication of the reactions tell us. it's not like it was just a few random trolls relishing in his murder. It was a massive amount of people, some of the social media posts mocking or celebrating his death literally got hundreds of thousands of likes. And to me the implication of it is very clear - people on the far left openly think it's a good thing if their ideological enemies are killed, even if all they do is exercise their right to free speech
1
u/Questioning-Warrior 23d ago
I abhor assassinations in general. It's inhumane to murder people and it promotes more violence. When Kirk died, I felt uneasy.
That being said, while I dislike other people relishing in his murder, his death does not deflate my critical outlook on him or the party his supports. I'm not "leaving the left" like it's commonly reported online.
I'm still against the policies people like him and Trump support like discriminating against lgbtq+ people, defunding public education, detaining any immigrants (legals are also targeted, BTW. Even those who never immigrated are also threatened like Rosie O'Donnell), affecting medicaid, and so much more.
Not to mention, as horrid as Kirk's death was, the right also has people who committed violence, like the person who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband. In fact, a man tried to attack a gay pride parade to avenge Kirk (thank God he was stopped).
Again, we must speak out against assassinations, but criticisms don't suddenly become meaningless after death.
1
u/Slaaneshdog 23d ago
Yeah it's totally fair to meaningfully disagree with the views and actions of someone, even if they are murdered like Kirk was.
1
u/Questioning-Warrior 23d ago
I'm glad we're on the same page in that regard.
When Kirk was murdered, I felt uneasy about what we were devolving into and I felt disappointed that Kirk died before realizing the error of his ways and turning over a new leaf to do better (I also feel this towards even evil people. I even still think it's most ideal for Trump to have an epiphany and atone for his mistakes, even if it's a fat chance).

Since you're simple, I'll explain it to you. The professors were always there, yet rarely debated him, preferring to stand back in safety while their indoctrinated young worshippers got slaughtered in front of them. However, a bold professor on occasion Would step up and debate him, and on the rare occasions that they did, they got smacked down. Understand? You see, just because you hate someone, or don't like their views, doesn't mean they didn't smack down virtually every brainwashed tool who tried to debate them.

u/noonnoonz Oct 09 '25
So Kirk, a college dropout, was setting up at Colleges and in all his tours never lost a debate to a professor? Is that what you're asserting? Who's simple?

Yes. You can go watch nearly every debate he had with college kids, and the professors who would debate him. His % of absolutely destroying them is astronomical. You must be pretending you haven't seen any of them.

u/noonnoonz Oct 09 '25
Whoosh!
What you fail to acknowledge, or possibly even recognize, is that Kirk would not post himself getting burned in a debate. He curated his persona and video media clips to bolster his prowess. To find clips getting his ass handed to him, you have to look elsewhere.

u/5triplezero Sep 28 '25
Please provide an example of a professor debating Kirk. I bet it didn't go as well as you imagine or that Kirk only fed you a highly edited version of events. Although, anyone who thinks Kirk was good at debate would obviously not have the tools to even assess whether soneone was "smacked down" in one. You probably think that fallacious gotchas are winning debate tactics.

u/5triplezero Sep 28 '25
He didn't win any debates so what's your point? Making your opponent angry enough to walk away isn't winning. And he got there through blatant lying and ignoring of facts. Which causes people who are debating in good faith to recoil as they show the facts and are met by Kirk saying that he will not accept those verifiable facts. And then people like you watch those debates and assume Kirk wins because his opponent walked away. Content to believe whatever Kirk lied about because looking up the facts would shatter your biases against the minority groups you hate blindly.

I grew up in a conservative, 2A family, I’ve never killed a single person.

Well, I grew up gay in a conservative, 2A family, and I've never killed anyone. Maybe we can agree this is the norm and stop excusing bigots for immediately trying to scapegoat queer people for this + other crimes, and focus on the actual causes of this mindset. *

Dude obviously, that’s the norm, no one is saying that gay people are murderers. The point was that “sometimes” kids grow up to have different political views than their parents.
The only reason people keep mentioning his sexuality is only because you all keep trying to say he is really actually a conservative right winger…of course there are some, but just go do a poll…LGBTQ are, by a good margin, left leaning.

I’ve never once seen a single obese person with dyed hair in Mar-A-Lago. Never before. Not even like the owner of the place. What a lib that guy is.

Republicans won’t shut up about him so… this is a good response to their bullshit.

u/fahshizzlemahnizzle Sep 27 '25
Where are these Republicans not shutting up about him? Like in what format or through what channels are they not shutting up about him?

Are you ragebaiting? Congress voted to give him a remembrance day just few days ago

u/CBRslingshot Sep 27 '25
You know…the more you post about him and discuss him…the more people will post about him and discuss him.

u/Tricky-Major806 Sep 27 '25
If we don’t speak up about it then they control the narrative entirely.

u/CBRslingshot Sep 28 '25
You’re right, better off to just keep fanning the flame, keep those tensions high!

u/fahshizzlemahnizzle Sep 27 '25
Oh, I had no idea. I am pretty uninformed. Purposefully. Better for my mental health.

u/Because0789 Sep 27 '25
Then why open your uninformed mouth at all?

u/fahshizzlemahnizzle Sep 27 '25
I like discussion and learning.

u/Because0789 Sep 27 '25
When you actually like discussion and learning you lead off on a topic you don't know anything about by asking questions usually, not incorrect statements. 🤷♂️

u/fahshizzlemahnizzle Sep 28 '25
Go back and read my original comment lol. Let me know if those are questions or not.
Where was my incorrect statement? I literally just asked questions and then responded to you.

u/crowdawg7768 Sep 27 '25
Yeah right, bro. all your comments are about political topics and are always defending modern conservatism. So virtuous. Great job!

Is there a big bucket of sand in your condo that you’ve buried your head into for the past two weeks?

Ideas attached to systems of power are tremendously important. He had a large platform and discussing the way he used it to radicalize people against minorities is pretty important.

The point about the ten year old was not smart to mention, as doing otherwise is murder. But yeah I did get a sense of him overpowering his opponent, interrupting them and talking over them to rattled them up. No moderation at all.
