Charlie Kirk is dead. Shot on a college campus, his death is already being spun into a martyrdom narrative by the right.
But before America rushes to sanctify him, we need to remember who Charlie Kirk really was, what he stood for, and the enormous harm he caused.
This video is not a celebration of violence. It’s a hard look at the hypocrisy of mourning one man while ignoring the countless victims of school shootings, gun violence, and systemic injustice that he downplayed, mocked, or enabled. From pushing racist conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine propaganda to attacking LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, immigrants, and democracy itself, Kirk built his career on spreading division and misinformation.
Meanwhile, the same leaders who ignored hundreds of school shootings now lower the flag for Kirk, elevating him to the level of a hero.
This is a deep dive into why Charlie Kirk’s legacy is not one of freedom or courage, but of damage, fear, and lost potential, and why his death, tragic as it may be, should not be whitewashed into a myth of martyrdom.
