Unironically, crazy as this sounds, hold up a stopwatch as you’re talking so the camera can see it. Preferably not your phone (so you can look stuff up) He makes himself look smart by clipping stuff out of context, so having something keeping time out in the open means the footage will be useless to his organization
Don’t try to debate him, it’s not worth it. No matter what you say, even if you school him on everything, you’ll never win because there’s no open minded debate in the first place. He’s just gonna cut out what makes him look best and people will eat that up. My advice? Blare goofy ass music on speakers the entire time as loud as you can. Make it so he cant use ANY of it for content. Make him look like the clown he is.
I’m thinking something along the lines of: “In October 2023 you were under the impression that Israel let October 7th happen. There’s videos of you saying that. Then, in November 2023, Netanyahu denied a “hostages for ceasefire” agreement. Seeing as that they let their citizens die on that day, and refused to stop fighting in order to save their civilians, how can you genuinely say that their mission is Gaza is for their people’s safety, and not to conduct a cleansing?”
british political talking points are similar enough that he thought he could do the same thing and realized even conservative brit’s are left of american democrats on most things. he was trained on how to deal with 98% of all american political discourse. tbh your best bet would be to go centrists or independent viewpoints but they can’t be morally based.
lol but people have done that and it just gets buried. like you might get 10 seconds of reddit clout but is that worth it? i’d avoid those people at all costs. he came to my campus and i just stayed home while people tried to petition my school to not let him be here then tried to do what you’re trying to do. all anyone remembers is the people he clowned on
Ooo I like this “Charlie I wanted to bring up South Park, now you yourself did a good job of taking that in stride and I wanted to make sure I complemented you on that. However… the White House absolutely lost it over a few little jokes. Like these dastardly snowflakes can’t even take a joke from an irrelevant 20 minute cartoon. I took you as a man of strength and integrity. How can you still support the current White House based on their reaction to such a trivial matter?”
Charlie Kirk isn’t a good debater. He just parrots talking points and logical fallacies, knowing that his base will eat it up like chickens eating cat shit as it falls from the cat’s ass. His power doesn’t come from winning, it comes from feeding his audience’s bias. Logic, reason, and good debating will not prevent him from meeting this goal. Win or lose, it will only give him power. You want to beat him? Ignore him. He’s an ignoramus not worth your big brain study time. Don’t legitimize him.
No, you’re not. Fart sounds blaring on speakers without a face to put to them doesn’t give him anything to work with. Kirk’s content is based off highlighting arguments with unprepared and riled up people who engage with him and then going “look at da librul logic!” That’s the kind of content that’s fun for his fanbase to engage with. They’re not gonna have fun with fart noises that blare over his “commentary.”
You will literally never, ever win taking the high ground with these guys because, again, they clip things out of context and work it to their advantage. If all of those clips are drowned in nonsense he doesn’t have anything to work with. It doesn’t have to be fart noises lmao, it can be anything. Blare jazz music. Have country playing on one speaker and slave poetry on another. It doesn’t matter what so long as the content ends up unusable.
Remember: he and his organization have to pay travel costs to get to all these colleges, on top of camera operators and editors as well as Kirk himself. The worst possible outcome for them is to loose money. If they go to a campus and get no usable footage because someone held up a stopwatch, then that’s a financial loss for them. They paid all that money just to end up with nothing to show for it
You’re comparing the apple of “kicking and screaming” to the orange of “unusable content”. He wants liberal liberal anger, liberal freakouts over them trying to actually debate him because it makes him look smart and well put together by comparison, and his fans get off to that. Blaring nonsense that makes the content unusable doesn’t give him that opportunity. I don’t think those are comparable
On the contrary, I consider trying to legit debate these people the shovel. You could go to him with the most rock solid, air tight, foolproof argument in history and it won’t matter. It’ll end up as a brief portion of an unedited vid that his fans won’t watch and it’ll be cut entirely from the highlight reel. You’re not ever gonna win that cause he’s not interested in playing fair or honest from the start.
I can tell you for a fact when I get TPUSA ads on social media it’s not the unedited version of stuff And the interesting thing is that it’s so much easier to just put two raw video feeds next to one another in a split screen format without any cuts, but they never do that for some reason
His fans get off to people actually trying to debate him and not getting far because they haven’t thought out an argument, that and people getting angry and yelling at him to fuck off is what they like to watch. They’re not gonna enjoy him trying to fire off quips and comebacks with fart noises in the background. Realistically, if that just became the norm at his public showings, he’d have to drop the idea and move onto something else.
