In hindsight, all of this Charlie Kirk stuff is fucking insanity. He was a barely relevant, racist right wing podcaster that argued with random kids. In “making fun” of him every day, we immortalized him. He was supposed to be forgotten. Why him?

Honestly I think it because he’s a funny looking dude. Before his death, people have always made fun of his face and his smile

The only reason the left hates him is because before him, the message was "Maga is just crotchety old people in no-mans-land voting for stuff they don't understand". He was the one who united young conservatives, and the left now feels threatened by how much his movement has gathered momentum. Instead of beating him at his own game, they killed him after he had already won. A story of victory vs a pathetic loss.

Part of me wishes he'd fade to obscurity, but part of me is happy he's been immortalized in AI brainrot

It’s always this claim you leftist make that he was racist, when it’s not even true. He debated with adults who chose to go up and talk to him. He encouraged people to talk to one another even with opposing viewpoints.

Conservatives trying to turn him into a martyr to justify authoritarian crackdowns on their political opponents proceeded him being turned into an AI generated meme.

They don't know what joy feels like, so they make fun of someone else's smile, hoping that theirs will feel half as real.

Like some people knew about that guy beforehand but it was mostly just done out of spite against the people who have mocked the deaths of numerous innocent people suddenly caring about reverence.
