Do leftists, especially the ones one reddit, not realize that to a normal person, Kirk wasn't George Lincoln Rockwell, but just some boring, establishment Christian, conservative dweeb doing the well-worn campus "debate me bro" shtick of Shapiro and Crowder before him, and that the optics of them celebrating his death are really, really bad?


I’m probably exactly who you would classify as a ”leftist on reddit”.

I haven’t seen a single comment on there celebrating.


Oh that's strange, you must have juuuust missed it, try X or Bluesky or Facebook or Instagram or Tiktok.


I don’t use any of those.


The mods are removing them, so you're only likely to see them directly on Reddit if you're sorting by new. Here's some screenshots of them: https://x.com/CaplingerMi/status/1965869049138786753 https://x.com/Vespianum/status/1965859021816320085 https://x.com/pt_grimes/status/1965862663520661847
