Did anyone else not know who Charlie Kirk was until he got shot?

[bnew]

this isn't some jeopardy pop-quiz or not knowing the new class of rappers.

not knowing who the major agents of white supremacy in the media are signals you probably aren't even aware of their tactics and talking points making you susceptible to propagating it yourself.

 

[Paper Boi]

I have known who he is, but I follow political shows on youtube.

when he first started he was pretty relevant credited with getting young conservatives out to vote, often associated with Candace Owens, then there were some years where he seemed kind of irrelevant (failed to get Kairi Lake elected in Arizona, was getting too old to be the voice of young conservatives) and then he had become a lot more relevant again since trump got elected again and he was full MAGA defense forces.

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

I knew of him but I didn’t know was so popular amongst the whites. They making it seem like this dirtbag was some prolific Christian philosopher.

 

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

I had no idea who he was, I'm not a perpetually online loser who has no life outside the internet.

 

[Afro]

This.

I understand initially being ignorant because you don’t know what you don’t know. We’re all like that…

But to “LA LA LA IM NOT LISTENING” to news is crazy

"Where did you find this news OP?!"

 

[⠀X ⠀]

A couple of months ago, I saw a clip of him and Gavin Newsom, talking about their issues with “wokeness”. I never heard anything else about him until he got shot.

 

[Dad]

Who are the next major MAGA cacs up next and how are yall staying informed with this?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

White folks basically making him they Nipsey Hustle. Most people didn’t know this dude by name you just knew it was some jackass sitting in tents at colleges and saying wild stuff on social media.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Wasnt he the guy SouthPark made fun of? That’s when I found out about him and I still didn’t follow or care about him

 

[MajesticLion]

Very familiar.

THIS. Y'all need to learn this stuff. They are targeting Black men with white supremacist shyt through red pill podcasts. This has been proven. So you know know people's names, symbols, catch phrases so you don't get caught drinking the Kool-Aid and then passing it to other people to drink.

 

[Lord_nikon]

Never heard of him untl last week

 

[Red Money]

I didn't watch Fox News as a kid but I certainly knew who Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh were.

Rappers spoke about Bill O'Reilly and Cam Ron did the u mad on his show, right. Plus he had TV commercials


Rush was doing football on ESPN.



Tomi Lahren was the conservative young and attractive white girl with her Blaze Network that was all over social media.

Candace Owens heard of when Kanye Associated with her.

Milo was a messy gay white guy that inserted himself across all media to be seen.

Ann Coulter makes herself known.



Charlie Kirk was a guy in the shadows to me until he got shot.

Charlie Kirk made himself known via social media.

It's literally why he's as popular as he is.

He wasn't "in the shadows"

• Some Prominent White Supremacist Leaders. Recent reports and court filings identify several prominent white supremacist figures active in 2025. Some modern white supremacist movements, particularly those online, are decentralized and "leaderless," though still heavily influenced by the ideologies of older figures.

1. Dalton Henry Stout: A leader of the neo-Nazi group Aryan Freedom Network (AFN). In August 2025, Reuters reported that Stout runs the group with his partner. The AFN uses the insignia of the Nazi "Death's Head" SS units.
2. Thomas Sewell: The leader of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network in Australia. In September 2025, he was ordered to complete community service after being found guilty of intimidating a police officer.
3. Jarod Russell: A white supremacist leader convicted in early 2025 for a plot to attack the Baltimore regional power grid.
4. Nicholas J. Fuentes: A far-right commentator and white supremacist. He leads the "America First" movement and has used his platform to promote white supremacist and antisemitic rhetoric. In February 2025, he suggested his followers "infiltrate" the GOP and TPUSA.
5. Richard B. Spencer: A prominent neo-Nazi and white supremacist who advocates for a white racial empire and is known for his role in coining the term "alt-right". He largely lost influence as a movement leader after 2018, but as of 2024, he continued to operate the online publication Radix Journal.
