Bro had a larger funeral service than MLK, and for some he was their version of that (in impact). To be CLEAR, MLK is a MUCH more important leader and his movement was much greater, but why does that mean you have to belittle someone else’s? Can we not acknowledge that he was one of then greatest ever, and using his great example to recognize others in the future with similar impacts?
I could easily argue he did the same, but once again if seems you don’t care. As usual, making jokes about the man’s death or the outpouring of support is disgusting and you should be ashamed. I remember a good few who did the same over MLK, must be nice to be apart of that club huh?
Yo, that has no comparison to what we’re talking about. Both Kirk and MLK were influential leaders of their time, and had a MASSIVE impact. I literally said TO START that I don’t think he had a bigger impact than MLK, but using that as an excuse to belittle or nullify his impact is WRONG .
Comparing Kirk to MLK in any way is far more disrespectful and wrong than saying MLK had a much greater impact than Kirk. Especially since Kirk stood against everything MLK stood for (Kirk wanted to repeal the civil rights act). If you want to compare Kirk’s impact compare it to another conservative because all comparing him to MLK does is make it seem like Kirk has triumphed over MLK and that MLK’s ideas were wrong (because again Kirk stood against everything MLK stood for).
And there we go, you admit you know nothing about the man by spitting out the same out of context garbage that you’re told. Comparing ANYONE to MLK is a compliment above anything else (as it should be), and you cosplaying some “virtuous hero” who’s defending his honor because others see him as the gold standard to compare to is just childish.
MLK was a socialist who believed in racial equity. Charlie Kirk was a billionaire funded conman spewing racial agitation propaganda to cause the working class to fight against one another. You’re just a gullible idiot who got conned. Comparing MLK to his oppressors is psychotic and pathetic.
I’d literally never heard of him before he got shot (not being facetious) but MLK has an entire day. MLK gave a speech at the Lincoln Memorial to an estimated 250k+ people in attendance plus the millions of people watching him live on their TVs. Kirk went to college campuses and had debates with random students and posts compilations of him Owning The Libs. Come on now.
“Roughly half of the group’s $40 million in income in 2020 came from 10 anonymous donors” “But in 2017, Kirk admitted that some of the group’s anonymous donors “are in the fossil fuel space”” “Bernie Marcus (The Marcus Foundation) – $2,500,000 in 2023 to TPUSA “Bradley family network (Bradley Impact Fund) – about $23.6 million total, 2014–2023, including “over $8.1 million in 2023.””
