Anyone else notice that when one of our heroes was assinated in cold blood if front of thousands of people including his wife and young kids that not a single store in America had to board up their windows?
That tell us everything you need to know.
I never paid much attention to Charlie Kirk, he seemed very America focused & I am not American, & I find the "OWNED! DESTROYED!" type video titles really off-putting. I'd completely missed that he interviewed Kara Dansky & Richie Herron, a radical feminist & a gay man I admire.
Now, since his murder, I see lots of people saying he was racist, homophobic, a misogynist, & a fascist...but these seem to be people who never knew him personally, sometimes sharing tiny clips with no context.
When I look around I see:
Black people saying he treated them well, is this what a racist does?
Same sex attracted people saying he treated them well, is this what a homophobe does?
Women, with various political beliefs, saying he treated them well, is this what a misogynist does?
Am I supposed to believe that all of this was acting? A ruse? A clever masterplan, hiding his true evil bigoted face, & all these people have fallen for it?
Because that seems not only far-fetched & paranoid but rather condescending, infantilising, an act of removing agency from people of the marginalised groups you fetishise because they do not agree with you...one might say racist, homophobic, & misogynistic.
The other thing I see are videos of Charlie Kirk himself, again & again saying we have to talk to each other, respectfully, despite our differences, otherwise we foster a culture which will lead to violence...is this what a fascist does?
Because I do not think so, I think the fascists are the ones who kill their political opponents to stop them having a voice.
🧁 Real talk:
You deserve good things.
Even on your messy days.
Even when you feel “off.”
Even when you forgot to do the to-do list.
You’re still worthy. Always.
😅 Real talk:
Some days self-love looks like:
✔️ Brushing your hair
✔️ Drinking water
✔️ Not spiraling over that one text
We celebrate the little wins over here 🥂
