Buddy, TP USA material is now entering school curricula. The damage is continuing, hard.

I am not unaware. It enrages me. But I don’t know why you’re telling me this.

From my perspective it is worth pointing out because it shows how Kirk's murder was NOT a good thing, and is NOT something that should be looked back upon with glee. Rather than being the end of Charlie Kirk's vision for Turning Point, his death invigorated it and has now potentially set up an entire generation to be propagandized.

It would have been better for the world for Kirk to have kept living and continue embarrassing himself (which he did on a daily basis) and come to a more typical end for these far right influencers - jailed/disgraced. Not to mention that noone deserves to be executed, especially without a trial.

People who are susceptible to hate propaganda will find their way to it.

I'm confused - are you trying to argue that we should not try to stop the spread of hateful propaganda? Or just that it doesn't matter to have it in schools? Maybe you are trying to argue that exposing children to hateful rhetoric will not have an impact on their developing brains?

What you are saying does not make sense to me.

I'm saying that shooting Kirk had nothing to do with hateful people finding their way to hate propaganda. If their reasons for joining a known hate group are that thin, they would have joined it anyway, or a different one, or started their own.

I thought you might not be enraged enough. 😂
