He was a messenger speaking truth to people who badly needed to hear it and engaging in respectful debate with people who did not agree with him. We need more people like him.

Then he forget to pay his neck bill, so it exploded.

He built his brand a lot like Ben Shapiro did. As a trained political operative going up against 19 year olds and producing clickbate.

However, at the Cambridge Union, the students had serious debate skill and he got crushed.

I just think that the fact that he was killed is a problem that should not get shadowed by the fact that he was a pos..or by the fact that people support pos that align with their views irrespective of their destructive behaviors ..

His killing is plenty problematic. To truly care about that would be to tend to the social and political factors that lead to it. Not just to reacte to lack of sympathy.

It is big cluster eff up that is incredibly convoluted in so many ways.

I agree with most of this but it predates current internet culture.

Evangelical "Christian nationalists" were teaching young people these tactics at least as far back as the 1990s. Social Media just gives them a bigger bullhorn.

Charlie who?

Won't disagree.

But it isn't justification to kill someone either.

He actually got owned in several debates there's several videos but they selectively cut his debates. All of his life was a lie and his arguments were bad, full of cognitive distortions. His whole life was edited and then appealed to white culture as a result cos they could propagandize that for their own needs.

I saw him as just another personality for entertainment.
Shock jocks, radio talk show personalities, he was nothing new.

In other words he was a radicalized,, right wing racist, white supremacist........that appealed to other radicalized, right wing, racist, white supremacists.

Until one of his own shot him.

This is not much of an insight. Many if not most celebrities are products of the internet and social media.
