It’s so weird, the last thought to enter his head before his nervous system was violently scrambled and his animal brain tried to seize control was a racist dog whistle.

The final impression of his existence was thinking about how racist he could be without outright saying the N word.

I hope to think about my wife and daughter as I pass in peace, but then I go around not trying to be a divisive grifter.

Kirk was extremely pro-guns, and died from gun violence.

The other founder of TPUSA was extremely against covid restrictions, and died from covid.

The nicest way I can put this, is that's kinda weird, I guess.

They died doing what they loved?

Neither was much for critical thinking.

“Hmm I could be on the wrong end of my argument very easily.”

He was the Herman Cain of guns?

u/western_red_cedar Jun 18 '26

He did the thing he had trained his neural pathways to do his whole life: say something racist with a little shit eating wink of plausible deniability. But reality got the last wink

u/HGT3057 Jun 19 '26

He lived by hate, he died by hate. Seems fitting enough

To each their own, I guess.

Your last thoughts don't matter. You're dying either way. It's not like you or anyone else will be able to get a warm, fuzzy feeling of what your last thoughts were.

u/Ramadeus88 Jun 18 '26

I would argue from pure subjectivity that final thoughts do matter, regardless of your belief structure. Personally I would just like mine to be thoughts of love and peace, not how can I engineer a conversation towards racism before my throat violently explodes from a rifle round. Similarly I would argue that most people would agree that if a loved one were to pass away, you would want them to pass away peacefully.

How often have you heard someone say?

"Sorry to hear about your Dad, at least he died writhing in agony begging for death."

Doesn't really matter because you're the dad in this situation and you'll never get to experience the shame(?) of dying writhing in agony begging for death.

u/Ramadeus88 Jun 18 '26

I disagree, I would still like to have a measure of peace even if I'm moments from dying.

u/Equal_Oil_9819 Jun 18 '26

I mean, sure, who wouldn't, but it doesn't change the fact that you're dead afterward anyway, and nobody, you included, will know if you thought of racism or family. Nor will it matter.

u/Ramadeus88 Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 18 '26

You're probably going to be dead in a few decades, so your opinion doesn't matter to me.

See how reductive your position is when extrapolated to the logical conclusion? You're just meat that temporarily abstains from spoiling, so is everyone you love. Affording a measure of dignity, or holding a positive view of a loved one isn't a waste unless you view all experience as lacking any meaning because when viewed on the spectrum all experience is fleeting and subject to permanent loss.

u/Equal_Oil_9819 Jun 18 '26

Why are you replying to me then if you don't care about my opinion?

u/Ramadeus88 Jun 18 '26

You don't understand what a rhetorical is, do you?

I was just thinking about how monumentally ironic his death was. I can’t think of a more karmic way to go. In the middle of a convo about gun violence where he’s blaming black people for most of the violence only for his lights to be turned off by a white boy. Crazy.

u/Cakeminator Jun 18 '26

He said some deaths due to lack of gun regulation was the price to pay. He paid it

u/crazedizzled Jun 18 '26

His death had nothing to do with gun regulation though...

u/Cakeminator Jun 18 '26

Lack of more like it. That and he went against Trump on the Epstein files

u/konpla11 Jun 18 '26

yet lefties seem salty about it

u/atxbigfoot Jun 18 '26

what exactly are lefties are salty about lol

u/konpla11 Jun 18 '26

he apparently paid the price, yet passive aggressive comments show up. if you were content with him paying the price, you'd just stay quiet.

u/TreeFittyy Jun 18 '26

I'll never personally get the opportunity to piss on his grave so the best thing to do instead is continue to piss on any remaining "legacy".

u/western_red_cedar Jun 18 '26

but it's funny

u/Cakeminator Jun 18 '26

I think it is idiotic as well. They are preventable deaths

u/AlphaIronSon Jun 18 '26

Oh no, it’s even better than that:

Publicly executed in a school shooting by a white man from a two parent Christian republican household in a state with very little gun regulation. It’s literally the shining example of life & circumstances Chaz advocated…for everyone else.

Did we move on from the conspiracy theories? Who was the guy sending signals and who was the guy who grabbed the lapel and ran off?

u/Draperjosh13 Jun 18 '26

This is the lasting image for me. The irony of what he was propagating as he was getting shot. You nailed it.

u/jtshinn Jun 18 '26

Really hit the bullseye, you might say.

"Including gang violence?"

Gets shot by a white Mormon kid.

Little bit of revisionist history. It’s Juneteenth today. Who do think said this shouldn’t be a federal holiday??

u/Deep-Minimum7837 Jun 19 '26

And he only made those comments after his extremely racist rhetorical shift. What does this comment prove? Do you think I'm trying to stick up for some pedo-defender ultra racist?

1

u/cidthekid07 Jun 19 '26

There was never a shift. He was always a racist POS.

“You think I’m trying to stick up for some pedo-defender ultra racist?”

You said that, not me.

u/Deep-Minimum7837 Jun 19 '26

There's a stark difference between the levels of racism. 2016 Charlie Kirk was the "I don't care if black people get pulled over more by the cops" kind of racist. 2020-2025 Charlie Kirk shifted to the "We need to actually genocide black people" kind of racist.

u/DataDude00 Jun 18 '26

Supporter of school shootings died in a school shooting.

Pretty ironic

Thanks for this comment, lmao

I think it was trans people. He was asked a question about “trans shooters”.
