    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.
