    Because Charlie Kirk was a carnival barker and not some legitimate grassroots hero or whatever it is chuds think he was. Yeah he took money from Foster Friess and other ghouls and he did "organizing" and "outreach" by arguing in front of college students. But at his core he was a sideshow selling t-shirts.

    The billionaire class that invented Charlie Kirk still exists so of course his death had no impact on wider politics. Because he never mattered. Furthermore I'm not convinced the average person even knew who he was before he got ventilated. I remember even my most chuddish coworkers saying they hadn't heard of him.

    Charlie Kirk is incredibly replaceable. The right generates no shortage of reactionary influencers. The only thing the right lost was his niche being occupied by someone with name recognition. All it takes is one well-known conservative making his brand of content or one or two billionaires knighting a new heir.

    this is because he was a man of no consequence, did you really fool yourself into believing otherwise?

    A million Kirks really were born, but that didn't matter because Kirk was not important

    Idk, dialectics and quantitative -> qualitative change. I suppose that a million kirks would emit a sort of low buzzing sound, like a beehive, and oscillate between organized swarming and self-destructive infighting. But either way there would be an emergent consciousness

    They know, but they wanted to use his death as an excuse to start slaughtering the untermensch, and are furious the majority of people despised him and didn't fall into line like they wanted.

    Not quite, more like they saw his death (which could've been any conservative mouthpiece) as an opportunity and were mad when it didn't pan out because he was such a pathetic clown even libs didn't fall for their calls for civility.

    Not true. Some people have received generous payouts from former employers for posting about his death and getting fired

    Btw I think that's hayasaka_aryan. The one Milei retweeted. So this might not be a joke as I would think at first.
