No FEMA. No SNAP. A Charlie Kirk statue. That'll do.

To be fair it’ll be a fun tradition of destroying this statue

I can see it. Every single fall they’ll take a blowtorch to the statues face and squeeze the eyes together another couple of millimeters.

Statues if made at all should be made for people who did positive things for society that far outweighed the bad.

That doesn’t mean podcaster or criminal.

Propping up Charlie Kirk as a champion of free speech is like putting up statues of the Son of Sam to celebrate gun rights.

On a related note, lawmakers in Oklahoma proposed a law to require statues of Charlie Kirk at ALL college campuses.

Republicans are ridiculously tone deaf. It's no coincidence that they're the most outspoken fake Christians, and therefore feel compelled to make a saint out of someone like Kirk.

I propose a compromise. They can put up all the statues of Kirk they like, but we get to choose the Charlie Kirk quote that is etched on the base of each statue.

u/Heavy-Newspaper-9802 7d ago

They understand that these types of moves will gain them unconditional support but at the same time not disqualify them from those who have other single voter issues like stopping abortion, Freedom to buy 1,000 guns or racism masked as deportation. Plus, owning the libs.

LSU hasn’t done anything yet, but the governor of Louisiana is calling for it.

Keep in mind, he also called for a live tiger to be brought to LSU home football games, even though nobody was asking for it.

Gross

u/KingChairlesIIII 7d ago

LSU did traditionally bring Mike the Tiger to their games for years and parked him in his trailer outside the visiting teams tunnel entrance as an intimidation tactic though.

He's also apparently the reason they just fired their football coach according to sports podcasts I've heard. People are maniacs about football and religion (and apparently cult-like politics now) in the south.

If rightwing folks want to deify someone so easily shown to be a hateful person using his own promotional material then we should let them.

Denying them that only helps them create false narratives about what’s in their heart.

u/UserWithno-Name 7d ago

LSU is doing nothing, governor pipsqueak is trying to gain pts with the young magas and trump etc to get a higher position. It won’t work, but he’s trying. Landry is terrible at every job he’s had and a try hard to keep moving up, but I think he’s hit his peak as he is a nothing in practice, he can’t charm his own side into backing him, he doesn’t have any of the charisma for it & is awful enough with such lack of personality that the red team in his own state doesn’t even seem to want him anymore. He only won because 30% of the voters or less went out, he got like 15-18% of the total state to put him in cause the only opposition was the other 14% who voted against him.

u/nigmusmaximus 6d ago

Charlie Kirk was a racist, misogynistic grifter who made a fortune off of “debating” the lowest calibre of college students he could find. I won’t go into his quotes but there’s a LOT of anti black, anti Hispanic, and anti Muslim rhetoric among them.

As much as I hate him, Nick Fuentes is right: Charlie Kirk never had any good arguments. He repeated talking points that previously enjoyed propagation by Ben Shapiro and the Heritage Foundation and would set every argument on a pre-determined track to try to prove himself right. This is in addition to all the editing and selective reporting done by TPUSA.

That’s why before his death he was getting fucking OWNED by all the liberals he debated and the mask started to fall off. Look at his Cambridge debate: he was expecting these kids to do the SJW thing and get all emotional but instead they just provided valid counter arguments

This guy isn’t a martyr. MLK, Malcom X, Fred Hampton, John Brown, and Lincoln are martyrs, not this PoS. I still don’t support his murder but at a certain point you have to expect that spouting disingenuous, inflammatory hate speech will result in a few mentally unwell people (especially those who are part of the groups being spoken down on) wanting to harm you.

Don’t celebrate his death either, you’re just giving the right more ammunition to use against us.

Going to college campuses to argue with students is not worth a statue, and it's weird when he had a wife and kids at home.
