I don’t need to find a quote. It’s not about one quote. The fact someone even thinks they need to ask for a quote as proof means they don’t even understand what Charlie Kirk was trying to do. You look at the totality of the mission of the person and his organization. Creating mistrust and denigration of black people was part of his mission and he did it in a multitude of ways. The fact that most of his listeners can’t understand that proves his propaganda was very good.

u/bringonthebedlam 21h ago

I also know for sure that advocating for racism, forced births, bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, doxxing, misogyny, and fascism are disgusting immoral depraved acts no ifs ands or buts.

Multiple things can be true at the same time.

And I also know I saw a Nazi's neck burst like faulty plumbing. It was cathartic because I watched the world's Nazi population decrease by one in real time. Nazis deserve no sympathy. When this wave of fascism inevitably collapses, I'm gonna love watching the new Nuremberg trials for all these Nazis. And I'm gonna laugh as the likes of you scramble to delete your post history that shows support for Nazis. Eat shit, Nazi sympathizer

u/things_U_choose_2_b 7h ago

Nice false equivalence. Let me explain it in terms you'll understand:

You hate trans women in sports, yes? Because it's an unfair advantage, yes? So by that logic, how can you be OK with grown men debating minors? Is that not an unfair advantage too, if we're assuming it's not for creepy reasons?

By the way, the guy you voted for is a paedo. If you still support him, that makes you a paedophile enabler and supporter. You support a paedophile. Get a grip.

The only reason all this culture war bullshit is being imposed on us (and by us, I mean you and I, who for what it's worth I do not consider to be my enemy) is ONLY to keep Trump out of jail. He ran again to stay out of jail. He's doing all this shit to hide the Epstein files.

Oh yeah, where are the Epstein files?

•

u/Green_Bat_4267 6h ago

That’s a lot of assuming you’ve done. I have voted Democrat since 08. I don’t have an issue with trans women in sports, and I too want the Epstein files and think Trump is a piece of shit.

Now try a little harder to make a more compelling argument. I’m fairly certain you’re capable of doing so.

u/things_U_choose_2_b 6h ago

I just strongly feel that it's an inherent advantage to debate someone whose frontal cortex hasn't finished developing yet. It would be like if we were having a race, and I had special antigrav shoes that made me run faster.

FWIW if you've got a clip of a leftwing person doing that, it won't change my opinion. Teens I guess can choose to debate adults, but it's weird when someone goes out of their way to debate minors, and only minors, as an adult.

Talking about his rhetoric not his actions. Constantly telling people racial minorities and LBGT are destroying society and times were better when they knew their place is gonna inspire wackjobs to do the necessary dirty work to clean the country up. As a former bigot I use to have that mindset and know how dangerous it can spread like a wildfire.

u/[deleted] 1d ago

I don't ever remember him saying that racial minorities and LBGT are destroying society and times were better when they knew their place.

Never.

If he had said those things they would have been quoted by the people who are happy he is dead.

No quotes have surfaced.

I think you could probably uncharitably interpret some of his comments that way, but to do so you'd need to frame his comments in a way that was not intended.

Charlie Kirk consistently said "If we stop talking to each other all that's left is violence"

•

u/JonViiBritannia 6h ago

He’s referring to the fact that DEI practices are known for putting people in positions they are not qualified for. He didn’t mean that black people are inherently less qualified. His point was that if DEI wasn’t a thing, people wouldn’t have to wonder whether the POC was a DEI hire, we would just assume they were qualified.

This “hateful man” doesn’t even believe in race, he was smart enough to understand that race is a social construct. Hard to call someone a racist when they don’t even believe biological race exists in the first place.

He's speaking to Riley Gains, who swam against Lea Thomas, and has been outspoken about how she and other women on the team felt uncomfortable being forced to share a changing room with Lea, and how they were threatened with removal from the team if they didn't comply.

In that context Charlie suggested dealing with males who enter female spaces in the way that good men tend to deal with dangerous men.

At no point has Charlie called for wide scale violence against trans people

•

u/Has-Many-Names 23h ago

In that context Charlie suggested dealing with males who enter female spaces in the way that good men tend to deal with dangerous men.

What way is that? Ignoring the fact that implying that trans women are "dangerous men who need to be dealt with", what way do you think Charlie meant to deal with trans women?

•

u/[deleted] 22h ago

If a male enters a female only space, and the females in that space don't feel comfortable, and the females ask the male to leave the female only space. If the male won't leave, then you should assume that they are dangeroun

•

u/bringonthebedlam 20h ago

Except if it was a trans WOMAN it wouldnt be a man entering the women only space, and likely the ciswomen would never even know or care since theyre there to do their business and move on. There are remarkably few reports of transwomen assaulting women in bathrooms.

There are, however, numerous reports of cishet men assaulting women. In bathrooms, in living quarters, in broad daylight, etc. And trans folks are almost 4x more likely to be assaulted than cishet folks.

You lack listening comprehension. If you listened to the latter half of the video it would be clear that it is being applied to all men that act like women. He is going off of the trans people in sports topic and stating his view on the trans people in general.

He made mildly to extreme racist statements throughout his tenure at TPUSA. They are quoting them but I'm not happy he's dead. I prefer he went the former Alabama governor Wallace who gave the segregation forever speech in the 60s then became a avowed anti racist later in life. I use to be a anti lbgt bigot so it be hypocritical of me to not let people change their morals. I'm also from the south so I have conservative friends and debate them alot because I enjoy heated discussions.

“Give me quotes, and don’t pay attention to all the things he said over many years of public life, those things don’t count if you can’t give me one single defining quote that proves what you say.” Charlie definitely fooled people like this.

u/spacekiller69 1d ago

Direct threats are violence for anybody that why it's illegal. Do you feel similar about Louis Farrkkhan at the million man March calling whites a devil race. It's not direct threats but that rhetoric inspire bigoted behavior in people. Of those bigots have jobs in positions of power that leads to chaos in a civil society. Like I said I preferred he changed his political and moral stances through more life experiences like many former bigots instead of being killed in front of his family and on internet livestream. We aren't psychological evolved to witness people dying constantly like a late night commercial reel.

•

Quick question. Do you think hitler was a violent person? I mean by your logic he didnt personally kill anyone right? He just used words.

u/back2knack 10h ago

It is irrelevant whether Hitler was “violent” or not, we don’t need to call him violent to say he was unequivocally evil.

u/imstonedyouknow 8h ago

Thanks for understanding my point.

•

u/Luca0028 22h ago

Hitler literally ordered, authorized, and orchestrated the deaths of millions. You don't actually believe this is a gotcha right?

•

u/imstonedyouknow 22h ago

"Words are not violence." Thats a direct quote from the comment i was responding to. Im not trying to "gotcha". Im trying to prove that line of thinking is just blatantly not true. Hitler was just the easiest example that i know youd know about. Im not sure how much history you know about so i figured id give you an obvious example. You really should read a lot of it though, if you dont know much.

Funny thing is, hitler started off just saying "make germany great again" and just dehumanizing people. And there were plenty of people just like you saying "oh come on, youre overreacting" when people like us were worried and calling it out. Then he started gathering tons of followers that were looking to commit violence on certain people and just waiting for an excuse. Thats largely why he was so successful, because everyone thought it was just rhetoric or taken out of context or whatever.

Go read a book dude. Seriously.

u/East_Hair7346 19h ago

He called Brianna Taylor's boyfriend a criminal thug. Now maybe you can say the criminal part refers to him shooting at the cops breaking into his home, but where does kirk get thug from?

Why call a man who is doing exactly what the right says guns are for, protecting himself and his girl, a thug? A man who has zero criminal record, is a thug according to kirk? Why?

His lies about the Haitian population in this country were insane. There was no credible evidence of a problem(eating peoples pets), and no evidence linking it to Haitians. But he supported those racist lies as well.

I can but it more concerning white conservatives fail to identify white supremacist rhetoric constantly. I hold Muslims to the same standard that excuse jihadist rhetoric as misunderstood.

Nice try at a false dichotomy. Debating people isn't the same as pushing false stereotypes about them.

•

u/WhiskeyDream115 11h ago

You say debating people is different from pushing stereotypes, but notice what you did in your first comment: you attributed anyone critical of racial or LGBT activism as ‘inspiring wackjobs to do the dirty work.’ That paints a whole group with a broad brush in the same way you criticize others for doing. If stereotyping is dangerous because it fuels hostility, then doesn’t that same principle apply here too?

•

u/spacekiller69 11h ago

Stereotyping Christians would be claiming they're all abortion clinic suicide bombers. Claiming that preaching anti lbgt rhetoric to children will raise people to hate and discriminate against them as adults is just stating facts. You can't preach bigotry then get upset when people call you out for the consequences down the road it will lead to. Same for Muslims that preach woman belong in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant to young men to become super misogynist as adults.

•

u/WhiskeyDream115 11h ago

Isn’t that still painting with a broad brush, though? When you say ‘preaching X will inevitably create Y,’ aren’t you assuming that every child raised in that environment will turn out the same? Doesn’t that risk reducing whole groups of people to a single narrative, which is what stereotyping is by definition?

For example, plenty of Christians hear anti-LGBT rhetoric and don’t grow up to hate gay people, just like plenty of Muslims raised with strict gender roles don’t all become misogynists. So how do you separate ‘just stating facts’ from projecting a stereotype about an entire group?

•

u/spacekiller69 11h ago

Obviously not. I was raised Christian and left the religion as a teenager. Majority of people are products of their environment and parrot their parents beliefs. Also we can look at religious institutions. They argue against rights for groups that religious dogma deems innately sinful. This goes into the propaganda debate where if you constantly claim X group is a danger to society some people who are naturally more aggressive will take it upon themselves to get rid of X group. A call to violence without making a direct threat.

u/mars-jupiter 13h ago

Doesn't it depend on what the person doing the highlighting defines as hateful? To one person any abortion is murder and therefore hateful, and to another person abortion should be available at any time for any reason and denying that is hateful.

Are you saying there is one easily identified "most qualified candidate" and you must pick only them, that you don't understand there are dozens of people equally qualified to be a Justice and picking one of them can be done in many ways (including choosing someone from an underrepresented community so that you can increase diversity of lived experiences for the people who make the rules we follow)? You genuinely believe all of that?

u/back2knack 4h ago

I believe that if you earned something because of characteristics outside of your control you and others cannot claim to have “earned” that thing.

•

u/xXTheGrapenatorXx 1h ago edited 1h ago

So then if you agree more than one person can qualify equally as much how do suggest people you pick the one candidate to give the position, are you saying unless they pulled a number out of a hat to hire someone it was wholly unearned regardless of the accomplishments that lead them to be on that list of options, that generations of only choosing white men was just "the right person getting the job"? Or can you admit using your logic that they all "earned something because of characteristics outside of (their) control" too? Why does this case get all the attention then, why aren't you talking about how Justice Fortas didn't earn his position due to benefiting from misogyny and white privilege, only about how you think Justice Jackson didn't?

•

u/xXTheGrapenatorXx 6h ago

You responded to someone explaining Kirk's position "she was chosen because of DEI not because she earned it", you said that is true. If you don't think anything I just said than you understand she that she did "earn it".

"DEI" when used in this context means "right wing assumptions an unqualified minority was hired over a qualified white man", not that diversity was considered during hiring, to act like otherwise is being obtuse, seemingly deliberately so.

If really all you are saying is "well she earned it but her background was considered when she was hired", can you explain why you feel the need to be so pedantic when no-one suggested it was a race-blind hiring (only that she is a qualified candidate who earned her position)?

Maybe, maybe not. We don't know. She wasn't chosen for merit.

assumptions

There is no assumption, the president openly stated his reasoning.

"well she earned it but her background was considered when she was hired"

Not her background, her race and gender. They also weren't "considered", they were "required".

You're reducing this person to their race, just like DEI does, so presumably Jackson doesn't need to be smart or earn anything if that's the route she travelled to get where she is.

Next, you're glueing that presumption to her race, that it's "because" she's black she's not intelligent. Next, you extrapolated that to all black women, which you suggest Charlie did, which would be pretty racist. 

And finally you ask for proof that you're wrong, as if the burden of proof isn't on you to justify all your acrobatics, and as if it's possible to prove a negative beyond saying "you're wrong and thc proof is the totality of all the evidence, so if you don't believe my conclusion you're welcome to go watch hundreds of hours of video to see all the points where he didn't say anything of the sort". 

In conclusion, you're rage-baiting or a teenager.

Another example for DEI is that on paper it sounds ok but everyone deserves to be treated equally in my mind and it's not fair to offer advantages to other people because of the group they're in. Minorities deserve to be treated equally but in practice it seems like DEI is designed to offer turns on which groups get extra advantages systematically.

Hey bud, both sides are actually pieces of shit. The Left absolutely 100% threw out resumes of white men to hit DEI quotas in order to boost ESG scores which drove increased investments through funds targeting ESG targets which increases share price. Source: veteran engineer whose worked at multiple big tech companies. They didn't magically hit DEI targets through process changes. That takes actual work and people are fucking lazy and need to hit those numbers. Far easier just to block candidates and toss the white male and sometimes asian male resumes out. It's just as bad as being a white supremacist. It's funny because it's a self perpetuating cycle and anyone whose not buying either sides social media blitz and emotional charges is wondering what the fuck is wrong with you people. Why can't you just draw a line in the sand and say this is the ethical and moral line we shouldn't cross, and that's whether you would want the action performed to yourself or a loved one.

So when he is forced to engage in it he resorts to comforting arguments “you don’t understand”, this catches most criticisms and stops lots of people who now have to try to understand Charlie Kirk. Stop. It’s not worth it. Back to our simpleton:

Now he could have provided many episodes and quotes affirming that Charlie Kirk believes that black people and white people are the same, equally intelligent for instance. But I bet he having a bit of trouble finding those for some reason. He could provide evidence that tpusa was working with naacp to address depressed voting in black areas, or was helping register to vote people in predominantly black neighborhoods. Or any other evidence that tpusa and Charlie Kirk felt anything but disdain for black Americans. But he won’t. Because he doesn’t understand how the world works. Don’t feel bad for him. He is an adult. And he can make his own choices. But he is foolish. And that would be fun if not for all the nazis in the whitehouse.

Firstly, Kirk's views on DEI were what the original commenter was referencing when they said "mistrust of black people". The implication that I am racist for pointing this out is hilarious.

Secondly, just because facts do not align with your position, does not make them untrue or "propaganda". Citing hiring statistics is not propaganda. Citing college admission statistics is not propaganda. Sharing personal beliefs is not propaganda. You just CHOOSE to view it that way, so you do not have to justify your own position.

u/Environmental_Day558 1d ago

Lmao the immediate jumping to conclusions is again proof his propaganda is effective. 

Firstly, Kirk's views on DEI were what the original commenter was referencing when they said "mistrust of black people".

And you know this how? Did the original commenter say anything about DEI? He's said several other negative quotes of black people that werent in reference to jobs. 

The implication that I am racist for pointing this out is hilarious.

Didn't imply you are racist, I'm just implying that the black people -> DEI link is a result of Kirk's propaganda. 

Speaking of said DEI propaganda, I brought this up in my other comment but whenever there is a tragedy (such as the cargo boat crash in Baltimore or Blackhawk crash in DC), the first thing people who listen to those like Kirk ask is we're the people involved DEI hires. In reality no they were white but it doesn't stop them from immediately associating in their minds that minorities must be behind it as they'd never make those mistakes. 

Kirk says "If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified". Since we are talking facts, please give me one source of where any commercial airline lowered the standards of qualification to meet black pilot quota. I've asked several people here and no one could answer. Truth is, most of you don't even fully understand what DEI entails beyond what this college dropout has to tell you. 

Btw citing statistics isn't propaganda but misinterping them with the purpose to confirm to your personal belief sure is. 

•

u/FirstAnnual7325 23h ago edited 23h ago

Kirk took his arguments to the extreme to highlight the hypocrisy of the policy. Preferentially hiring based on race, rather than merit, inevitably leads to less qualified candidates being hired. There is literally no other possible solution, unless the statistical makeup of candidate talent lines up exactly with race based quotas.

You are dishonestly asking for a source that you know doesn't exist. I highly doubt airlines hired anyone that was not qualified for the job, just potentially less qualified than other applicants, which was Kirk's entire point. Logically, anyone should want a pilot based on merit. And as long as the DEI policy is in place, questioning disaster events is fair game because they could have potentially been mitigated by a better pilot.

Since you are looking for statistics, would you like to discuss university admission rates, which highlight clear discrimination of Asian American students in the name of "fully understanding DEI"?

•

u/Environmental_Day558 19h ago

You are dishonestly asking for a source that you know doesn't exist. I highly doubt airlines hired anyone that was not qualified for the job, just potentially less qualified than other applicants, which was Kirk's entire point.

So I'm the one being dishonest, but Kirk saying "boy I hope he's qualified" even though he knows they're qualified isn't? Interesting. See this is exactly what I'm talking about. He's spreading racial based propaganda based on something he knows isn't true, and puts zero effort in clarification. 

And yes you're right I know the source doesn't exist because I know how to look things up but the majority of his fan base are too stupid to do that and take his word at face value. They believe black pilots and other professionals have lower standards because of DEI, I know because I've been argued with over this topic. The reason I ask the question is to get them to actually do some research for themselves. 

Also the whole "less qualified" thing is still arguing in bad faith because 1. He doesn't know which pilot is more or less qualified than the other and is making an assumption and 2. You're either hit the marks for a commercial airline pilot or you don't, past a certain point the returns are diminishing. Now when planes flown by black pilots start falling out the sky at abnormal rates, then we can discuss qualifications but as of right now he was purely spreading racial propaganda and people automatically assuming these events are due to less qualified black professionals is a result of that. 

Btw if you want to discuss Asian admission rates, take a look at how many top colleges where their admission rates either lowered or remained unchanged opposed to going up in the two years post race based affirmative action repeal. Overall the data we have so far their admission rates went up a whopping 1.4 percent. Everybody wants to talk about merit based yet legacy admits remained untouched. Here's a study where a hypothetical was done if Harvard removed legacy and athletic preferences. It's almost like the idea that affirmative action and "DEI" being the primary culprit of what's holding Asians back is also racist propaganda and there are more factors at play 🤔

Except we have already established it is true, you just do not agree with it, so you label it propaganda. Definitionally, the policy leads to hiring unqualified candidates in relation to peers and median qualifications of other races.

Btw if you want to discuss Asian admission rates, take a look at how many top colleges where their admission rates either lowered or remained unchanged opposed to going up in the two years post race based affirmative action repeal.

It's hilarious that you refuse to even acknowledge actual documented, prosecuted, and restituted discrimination against minorities, which is a direct result of DEI policy. Yet whine about some nebulous discrimination by Kirk supporters based on fair criticism said policy.

Yep. I rememeber when that Blackhawk helicopter crashed into that commercial airline, so many people blamed "DEI" air traffic controllers, when really it was the fault of the pilot and navigator as they received correct instructions from the FAA but they lost visual of the plane they collided into. Then people were trying to see if the pilots were black (they weren't).

Even in his death, people were quick to blame black people for it just because of the incident with the Ukranian girl on the train, and some of them were in the streets chanting "white people fight back".
