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

I heard the name and had a small awareness of who he was but I couldn't pick him out of a lineup. I don't listen to stuff like what he does. I could pick Ben Shapiro out of a lineup though never listened to him either.

What a dumb ass take
The shoe must fit. And it’s absolutely not a dumb take. Everyone cannot be aware of everything. It’s not like I defended people being ignorant of what’s going on in the world, but more so that it can be hard to know every actor in the arena when there are so many of them especially in this day and age where everyone has a voice. But keep being purposely obtuse while getting on a high horse on a public anonymous forum of all places.

What chess are you all playing? Like I am seriously puzzled by all of this arrogance and criticism because you know who he was before his death??? But what are you doing with this information? Besides being all talk on a damn forum???? Please back all of this talk up with real world action, implementable solutions. A lot of you nikkas are all bark and no bite. Like I said, at least one of you bytch ass boys was just crying about how you’re going to move to Asia because of the political climate and also because you’re not having luck with American women :mjlol:

High horse? You think theres some sort of nourishment one gets out of being in the know of who is who in trying to usher in our demise?

Many of you may be very well more equipped than me or anyone in the know of these miscreants and to handle their bs. Theres no wins here but here you are looking up at a high horse no one is riding on.

:jbhmm:What I think @ItWasMeThough is trying to get at in terms of real political action is what are posters using this knowledge of this man being a high-level white supremacist for. Are the black posters getting involved, community activists, to fight back against people who follow him, or are they just sitting on their hands? The best way, and really the only way, to fight back against people like Kirk is through civic engagement.

You all were equating people not knowing this particular influencer/podcaster with being ignorant. That was what I was arguing against. So it doesn’t make sense for you to ask “who said that” to my statement of “everyone can’t be aware of everything” then admonish people for not being in the know of ALL the actors in the right wing political arena, especially a social media influencer. Can’t you see the contradiction there? I’m not one for all this finger wagering whilst offering no solutions as to what we do with the knowledge of knowing about these Fuentes, Destiny, etc characters? How do we stop them? Because if we’re not taking no course of action, might as well be ignorant. You can’t just sit on knowledge and do nothing with it. Like I said nobody offering no actionable plan. As a woman, if a nikka talking all this hooha, I need to some action. Don’t just talk shyt on a forum and offer me no solutions while demeaning me by calling me ignorant.

Right because I personally witnessed a lot of posters be terminally online keyboard activists for years while making no mention of what they are doing offline to combat all of this :yeshrug:

Respectfully, cuz you the homie, I'll push back and say, ppl warn each other about shyt everyday without a plan to stop the shyt. 'Aye, watch out for that pot hole,' does not require a campaign against City Hall to be effective. Did your ass avoid the pot hole or not?
