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.

Most Nazis were ~~"regular people"~~ "just right wing" until the opportunity came for them to commit atrocities.

The nazi party was far right authortarians, not just simply right wing, to say they were just right wing is disingenuous

Are you saying the Republican party and their mouthpieces are not far right authoritarians?

[-] Highlandcow@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

No the republican party spans multiple degrees of the right and majority of them are just right wing authoritarians, not far right, you can get much more right wing then the republican party
