I’ve spent nearly 20 years studying & talking about Nazis. I’m not calling Kirk one because I didn’t like him or because he said things I disagreed with.
I think it’s easier for certain folks to convince themselves it’s “namecalling” because they are either more closely aligned with the current generation of Neo-Nazism than they’d like to admit or they are too cowardly to take an actual stand against Nazism.
TurningPoint USA is a Neo-Nazi recruitment organization that targets children through educational indoctrination and christofascist propaganda. Charlie Kirk received funding from original Nazi Germany families who funded the reich and helped bankroll the same type of aryanization policies in the 40s that Kirk was working to implement here in the US right now.
It is weird to me that so many would take this opportunity to decry gun violence when they spend no time or energy working with the communities directly harmed by Kirk et al.’s constant calls for violence. I have hardly seen these same folks posts memes in support of trans people, if they publicly support us at all or even mention us in their personal lives.
What do you really want to achieve with your condemnations? What are you doing besides thinking about how sad a Nazi’s wife will be over his death? Why are you worried about consequences from a dead Nazi and not the hell on earth that already exists that he helped create for millions? Because we were already being beaten, raped, and murdered. Do you mean now Nazis will be afraid to speak in public? Or do you mean you’re now afraid of being exposed to the violence we already endure?
