Charlie Kirk's Evil Legacy

 

Charlie Kirk’s


This is a story of ambition, timing, and mastery of the digital age. Here's a chronicle of how he went from a politically curious teenager to one of the most influential conservative voices in America: NOT! 
He was backed by industry. He was backed by the billionaire donor class -- something that actually never comes up in this conversation or debate... I see two sides of the neoliberal coin in this debate." 


 
Kirk’s ideology was caustic; he espoused openly homophobic, racist, sexist, Islamophobic and Christian nationalist views while uplifting misinformation and conspiracy theories. He also campaigned on issues that mattered to young Americans, engaging directly with them – no matter how virulently – on hot-button topics such as abortion, transgender rights, race and Palestinian solidarity. 

The arguing technique that Charlie Kirk uses? He had a clever technique that is manipulative. 

Kirk uses a very cynical and biased version of the Socratic method of debate, by which he asks leading, unrelated, or flawed questions in an attempt to elicit a series of responses from the opponent so he could find some contradiction in the answers to use as proof that the entire argument is invalid. More than that, he almost always offers an idea or question without any factual evidence to back it up, then pokes holes in counterpoints that use evidence. This is a particularly sleazy way of arguing, and one that is hard to spot.
