      Ok, you are joking, but I only recently learned that a lot of the images of his face (ie memes, bcs ofc I otherwise wouldn’t know of his existence) aren’t photoshoped/alerted.
      Dude really master debated with that face & ppl took it seriously.
      (And he earned millions.)

        He earned more than millions 😉.

        Ok jokes aside. It’s a bit nuts that this idiot was taken seriously and given a platform to spread his bullshit around. But his looks are just a fun way to mock him, appearance shouldn’t be a reason to wave away someone’s arguments (as horrible and flawed as they were).

          I totally agree with that, and actually think arguments (any work, especially intellectual) can have it’s own intrinsic value despite originating from dogshit human.

          I was given some shit about this over the years, but I stand by it (unless it harms other people, trauma is real).

          This just isn’t the same as praising that person.

            Absolutely. Dogshit people can still say something I can agree with and I don’t think there is anything wrong with taking that position. Some people automatically disagree with a point just because it comes out the mouth of a person they don’t like, and that feels closed minded; a broken clock is still right twice a day I suppose.

            That said fuck Charlie Kirk.

              Yes.

              I mean, a random character generator can have the best idea.

              Humans can literally make a mistake in pronunciation & make a good point.

              I’m sure parrots had original sayings better than a lot of humans.

    Okay, I’m gonna need to see some proof that this isn’t meant to depict Canadian actor and duct tape connoisseur Patrick McKenna
