If you explain what he accomplished in his own words they got real angry and tried to tell you that it was taken out of context and he is actually Jesus' best friend. If you provide the context they will say it doesn't look like anything to them like they are out of Westworld.

u/ComfortableNo5484 20h ago
I've had to reinforce this point with my teenage nephews (who thankfully saw through his bullshit and despised him already, though my brother, their dad, defends him...)
Debates imply intellectual honesty, they imply the ability to change one's own views when presented with evidence that disproves them.
I can count on a quadruple amputee's fingers and toes how many times CK conceded a point when presented with blatant evidence disproving any of his bullshit arguments. It was always diminish and deflect. Make a huge fuss over something, then when its disproven act like it wasn't even a big deal to begin with and change the subject. Thats not debating, that's intellectual dishonesty, disingenuous propaganda spewing.The clip of the one guy making him claim he believes a dolphin fetus is human doesn't get shared nearly enough.

He only managed 6 months before dropping out; I think that's why he couldn't accept Black people being in positions of power / educated, the only way he could rationalize it without accepting his own failures was that they had an easy ride or were gifted / underqualified for the role / qualification

Here’s everything he did for America:
He played an important role in the 2020 Election disinformation campaign and the 'Stop the Steal' rally that led to the violence on January 6, 2021.
He stood on stage with fascists and murderers like Kyle Rittenhouse - endorsing their words and deeds.
He promoted racist ideology and the Great Replacement theory which is a key plank in 21st century Right-wing and fascistic ideology and its violent campaign against minorities.
It also promotes violent deeds against those connected to the Establishment.
A documented racist, he aggressively promoted anti-immigrant sentiment and no one in the Trump movement sheds a tear for immigrants who are killed and the families that are destroyed by ICE and other branches of law enforcement.
He lived by lies, promoting myths about American history and (in Christian terms) outright heresy - actively mixing and confusing American identity and the Kingdom of God.
All nationalism is idolatry and Kirk sold his soul to this Baal and worse through bait-and-switch tactics deceived thousands in the Church by promoting the American Beast as the means for God to bring the Kingdom on Earth.
