The Real Martyr: King, Not Kirk

Known for his hateful rhetoric, a grown man went around college campuses to harass kids. If anyone else did that, they would be arrested and placed on a list, but his name was Charlie Kirk—a privileged white racist who catered to other privileged white racists. Saying bigoted nonsense with pride sure sounds good to those who don’t know things, and the faster one says it, the more confused the listener will be. That’s how you become the debate king! It’s what Charlie did. Lord knows he was lacking in the intellect department. Just watch his debate with the Cambridge students. They killed him! Oh wait, that was a Republican Mormon…

Unable to keep up with Cambridge, he returned to smaller campuses to talk down to younger people. Good Ole Boy Charlie would often begin his so-called debates with nicely spoken words but would often find himself interrupting the other speaker, throwing tantrums and quoting manmade scripture that was full of hate and blame. Claiming to know things that would make the baby Jesus weep, Charlie was not a Christian man. If anything, he was a conman who said things fast and clearly, but his message was anything but. Whether it was because he didn’t have the smarts to make it in college or not, he seemed to be pretty obsessed with universities—oddly obsessed. A grifter, a fundamentalist Christian, a homophobe, a groomer... Regardless, there was something creepy about Charlie Kirk. So creepy, he thought MLK Jr. was an awful person.

Maybe he was just jealous of the past greats that came before him, especially Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was a true Christian, whereas Charlie was not. Dr. King graduated from college at nineteen, whereas Charlie bailed after one semester. While both were assassinated, it seems to me there is only one martyr here, and it's not Charlie.
