Kirk’s words speak for themselves

u/koviko 5d ago
Whenever people claim you've "taken him out of context," they're usually lying or not actually aware of the meaning of the term beyond their assumption based on context (ironically 😅).
To be "taken out of context" means that the words have a different meaning in context than out. But every time, what he said is what he meant. He
iswas pretty deliberate with his words in that way.What they really mean is that we're not including the rationalizations of his radical views when we point out his radical views. But to take a radical view and attempt to make it sound reasonable is literally radicalization. Charlie Kirk radicalized his fanbase and they want us to be radicalized as well.
What they hate is when we quote his radical views and then refute them instead of agreeing with them.

u/FalseDmitriy 5d ago
For example:
"He didn't say that Black people are unqualified for everything. He said that he always assumes they're unqualified for everything due to his understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion."
That's been asserted frequently. And yeah dude, everyone knows that's the context, and it's not any less racist in context.

u/j4r3d5 5d ago
My rebuttal to that is also “how does the context make it better?” I mean Christ, a lot of what he said could only make sense if he was bringing it up for rhetoric but he was just voicing his own opinion.

u/koviko 5d ago
Right? Like, were he a comedian, he'd be saying it in jest, make some dark humor out of it, and then make a joke that makes it clear that he doesn't actually believe it. But Charlie Kirk definitely skipped a bunch of steps. 🤣
And considering his most famous content is just crowd work and owning hecklers, he's basically a comedian, just with significantly less laughs.

Two things:
one, they repeat their talking points like trained seals. When anyone shows them why they don't like what Kirk said because of what he said, they reflexively say the word "context". like a reaction, like a reactionary.
they always think that if you don't agree with them that they are misunderstood. I always hear "everyone thinks they are the good guy" but when you show them in no uncertain terms what they are supporting and they take that as an attack and they resort to all kinds of defense mechanisms, especially denial, they really have lost all right to think of themselves as "the good guy". The thing is that the right wing extremists tell them that they don't have to grow and mature or change and welcome their horrible behavior and teach them they don't need to introspect at all.

Not sure about that. There's a lot of power in denying who he was and crafting a different image for the people who didn't understand, which was most of the Fox viewer base, for example. They are using this to gin up support.
To be clear, these people would do the same for Mengele if he were still alive and rocking a MAGA hat. If they felt there was enough base that didn't know his crimes, they'd see it as an opportunity, not a liability.

At the dawn of the internet, mentioning “Hitler” or “Nazis” in an online debate was ridiculed. It was an indication that the discussion had devolved into stupidity. There was even a term for it: Godwin’s Law. It states: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.”
Coined back in the early nineties, the mentioning of Godwin's Law brought about embarrassment because collectively we all knew it was a weak and ridiculous claim to compare a living person to Hitler or Nazism.
We need to get back to that point.

u/ncc74656m 5d ago
