Of course he isn't a good person, he is a fucking Nazi and deserved what he got

I think the point is that just about everybody who thinks this was a good guy is like a Christian; they've only been fed the positive parts and blurps, and are wholly ignorant of the dark side of the subject because they were never shown what it really was about

I think we need to continue posting his real messages

What is with all this 'deserved what he got' insanity? I know it's the internet and all, but calm down. He was a person, flawed just like the rest of us. He had views that many of us found disagreeable, just like everyone else.

Black people are upset that he died, gay people are upset that he died, trans people are upset that he died; why? Because he wasn't some evil extremist calling for violence. He was a moderate and calling for debate.

Where is all this hate towards Kirk coming from? And please don't cherry pick a handful of out of context quotes. There are thousands of hours of video discrediting all these random quotes people are using to showcase his villainy.
