Charlie Kirk is a smart ass and loves controversy.
He will engage students at the university's he goes to and my impression is that it's a matter of choice to engage him back or attend one of his speaking engagements.
Students don't have to attend and regardless of who Kirk invites to join him.
Was it on purpose?

It should be studied how often what you say out of spite goes against your own goals …

"At one point on Monday, Kirk said that as soon as King became idolized, "the progress of black America goes sideways."
"Their cities disintegrate. Their families collapse. Educational progress stagnates. They become enormously dependent on government support," Kirk posted on X before adding that, "You will know the tree by its fruit."

Lmao, there’s nothing to heed either.
You don’t understand. That’s ok.
It means: Kirk is someone you would want deplatformed, so the fact that you laugh at people who haven’t heard of him will only get more and more people to look him up and read about what he says. Thereby INCREASING the reach of his platform. And while it might get some people to disagree with him , other people might start agreeing with him…so could easily be helping him gain followers with your spite.

I was surprised you hadn't heard of him as he's been discussed multiple times on this forum and he and TPUSA have been pretty prolific since 2012. I don't think Della runs the risk of increasing his reach.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:43 amLmao, there’s nothing to heed either.

Such a conspiracist I'm sure people like you who have never heard of him agree with him.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:43 amLmao, there’s nothing to heed either.

I didn’t say I’d never heard of him, I said I paid little attention to what he said.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 12:30 pmI was surprised you hadn't heard of him as he's been discussed multiple times on this forum and he and TPUSA have been pretty prolific since 2012.

I still detest what was said about MLK, but who knows… maybe I’ll agree with him about other topics if Della is trying to push it so hard that I’d like him… I’ll give his other topics a listen and decide…
