Charlie Kirk’s murder is a shock to me and prior to that I really have not thought about him for months (he apparently shared a stage with Hassan piker), of course the south Park parody.

I have ran into a few of Kirk’s supporters and apparently his legacy is his family and his apparently endless college debates that get rephrased as “debated an entire generation” and governors.

To me, it seems like Kirk was just a content creator.

      I’m not american and my country doesn’t deal with much gun violence, the last time a political figure was attacked in my country was sir David amess and that man was stabbed to death by a Muslim extremist

        That’s fine, doesn’t change the fact that America is quickly becoming as disgusting and hateful as the Nazi party of Germany. We just won’t hear about the atrocities until they are laid bare at the end, like the Nazi Party of Germany.

          I honestly agree that America is in an awful place and there is potential it could get worse but it is hard to know for sure what potential awful political ideology could take over and I feel your being a bit alarmist, I think there is still a good bit of hope for America to get through it’s issues

            Don’t think it’s alarmist when people already are getting sent to concentration camps in El Salvador, or have no fair trial due to being at Guantanamo Bay.
