We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

Ah. There it is. I’ve heard this one before from other White Nationalists and NatC’s

Next comes: ‘we should have separated the people into their own regions’ and other such complete and utter nonsense.

Segregationists. The lot of them.

Blake Neff, a producer of The Charlie Kirk Show. In 2020, Neff resigned from his job at Fox News as Tucker Carlson’s top writer after CNN revealed he had been making racist posts under a pseudonym.

And there’s the real architect of this pyramid of shite. Blake “Neff”; the NatC bag of shite that held Cucker Tarlsons reins.

'we should have separated the people into their own regions'

We should launch all the white supremacists to Mars and see how well they fare building their own civilization.

Having had some close up experience in my life with incredibly wealthy hardcore Christian Nationalist White Supremacists, most would probably absolutely love that. With a stop-over on the dark side of the moon to join up with all the Legacy already stationed there. I’m sure of course, it’ll be called “Planet X” by then.

He's absolutely correct on this one though.

There still was way too much discrimination left in all sorts of laws despite of the Civil Rights Act.

There still was way too much discrimination left

True.

However, I believe their stated argument is that it went directly against the US Constitution and should be abolished.

We’ve heard this before from the, ‘it’s racist to say there was and is institutional racism’ crowdthunk.

That we’ve been ‘led astray to believe there was a holocaust’, that we’ve been taught a false and ‘fake history’ by nefarious ‘globalists’ (read: Jewish peoples).

Don't discuss deeper meanings of shithead-agendas with me, I just wanted to do this thing where I shock everyone by seemingly agreeing to a racist and then turn around by saying something that's the exact opposite of what the shithead said.

Have I called this muppet a shithead often enogh? Ah, whatever, once more can't hurt. He's a shithead. In my opinion that is (Shitheads tend to be letigious).

I just wanted to do this thing where I shock everyone

Ah,.. sarcastic edge-lording you say?

You got it! Now, has this Xitter thing finally become affordable enough? I need to fill my edgelord-card!

Yeah nobody wants that shit here (if that's not clear to you by the downvotes).

Don’t forget your Goodboi Points! (NFT, social CRED)

Behold, the new leader of the proud white race!

Good luck demonizing one of America's greatest heroes you dumbass.

I don't know if every white power asshole is ugly, or hate makes a person ugly... But God damn every white power douche is ugly as fuck.

If you're proud of limiting the genetic diversity in your lineage, you probably look as weird as some "purebred" dogs (i.e. inbred).

"What if a possessed ventriloquist dummy and the creepy doll from the music video for Daft Punk's 'technologic' had a kid?"

That smile looks like Jack Nicholson's Joker's smile

This idiots videos pop up on YouTube, and I'm curious so I watched a few.

All his videos are about are him "debating" an actual idiotic left leaning person.

The leftist has valid points, but can't express them clearly, which Kirk then points out very easily, and which then silence the other person.

Then, the comment section is filled with people stating how great kirk is, and thanking him for shutting down idiots.

If they would actually find smart people to ask questions, instead of deliberately finding the weaker ones, we'd see the true weakness in Kirk's viewpoints.

But, that doesn't make for very good brainwashing, now does it?

Pretty sure they also edit and manipulate the video. Is rhe video format of the chad Wozniak vs the virgin one.

The only think Charlie Kirk can discredited is his own arguments. Dude is about as sharp as an orange

Honestly what the fuck.

Curious to see what bombshell they plan on dropping on Monday, because this is wild.

I suspect they're going to attack MLK Jr. on his "character". They love to cite that he cheated on his wife, which...okay, yeah, that's bad. But any reasonable person can see that his alleged cheating and his campaign for civil rights are separate issues.

It'll probably be about his criticisms of capitalism, and his progressive economic ideals that neolibs love to gloss over when they do their performative worship of his memory.

Capitalism is basically a religion to these people at this point.

Nah they do this every year and try to lie and pretend he was a Republican. So checkmate Dems 🙄

Your first mistake was listening to Charlie Kirk on any topic

Anyone that would actually listen to Charlie Kirk is probably already on his side of this "argument", why even give him the exposure
