Anyone who says that he valued "open debate and the exchange of ideas" either had never actually listened to one of his "debates" or has no idea what healthy discourse looks like
our media bubbles have created two versions of him:
an inspirational christian speaker
the real charlie kirk
a lot of people you encounter who can't believe we aren't sad have only met the algorithmically constructed inspirational christian speaker instagram and tiktok told them he was.
My parents are avid watchers of the PBS News Hour and this is exactly how that show was portraying Kirk. My parents were all "oh this is terrible that he was murdered", but fortunately they've started learning about the things Kirk actually said from other news sources. PBS News Hour is not at all what it used to be (when it started out as the MacNeil/Lehrer Report) and a quick glance at their list of corporate sponsors makes it crystal clear why not.
It actually was far right gang violence huh? That's so funny. It already was funny that he was talking about violence right then but... It's even more ironic.
Tim Heidecker (the character) with his narcissistic personality, hypocrisy and deranged world view is probably the most brilliant satire of MAGA media personalities and he first appeared in 2011!
I envy anyone who has yet to experience the roller coaster that is the On Cinema universe.

Counting or not counting gang violence?
*Gets killed by rival gang.
Correction - it wasn't even rival gang.
Schism happens.
Splitters!
People called fascismus they go the house!
They go the 'ouse!
Technically Groypers and TPUSA have been feuding for a while.

He didn't really mean gang violence -- he meant black people violence, and Tyler the Destroyer isn't black.

Watching the Charlie Kirk assassination video like
And 2 sodas

Do we have a "your joke but worse" community on Lemmy?
Probably, but I hope not.
I'm fine with pointing out when people miss social cues but draw the line at making fun of people for missing social cues.
Normally you do that by speaking. Kirk poured it out through his neck.
Not to be pedantic, but wasn't it more like:
isn't a moment 90 seconds? so wasn't it both?
Don't end up in a headline... And definitely don't leave in a position that people make a meme of you.
