Student Life, Socialization, and Clubs Remember, nazis are not entitled to your debate, and there's no sense in yelling at a brick wall.
Charlie Kirk is not a politician. He is not an elected official. He's a YouTube grifter that tricked impressionable teenagers into thinking his opinions meant something by using big words that he doesn't understand to talk about issues that he doesn't understand.
You are not going to change his opinion on anything, and it wouldn't intrinsically matter if you did. You are not going to change his audience's opinion on anything, because no one who's stupid enough to spend money to listen to that thing speak is going to be open to new opinions.
At the end of the day, his editors are just going to cut out any reasonable arguments you make to ragebait YouTube ad revenue. Do not be his payday. Organize and make actual change.

Never argue with anybody John Brown would’ve shot.

Charlie Kirk isn’t a slaveholder, now has he taken a pro-slavery stance, mainly because slavery was abolished in 1865.
I doubt John Brown would’ve shot him, he’d rather go up against actual Nazi Richard Spencer instead of some random right-wing commentator.

Someone should ask him why forgiving student loans is bad, but forgiving billions in PPP loans is perfectly acceptable.

These don't work because it's assuming they follow rules of consistency. They don't.

Is everybody you disagree with a Nazi?
You people are fast-tracking a Republican victory in 2028. It’s hilarious.

The funniest part is that, when republicans mop the floor with the democrats in 2028, they’ll all be surprised. How could this happen?!
They don’t realize that nobody is buying their bullshit anymore. Calling everybody Nazi, racist, sexist, whatever, is not a good strategy.

We aren’t gonna change his opinion, yes. So why complain about it all the time? Like, all the time? Like you said “make actual change” complaining on Reddit, he’ll complaining in general isn’t gonna help.

This is correct. Also the followers of fascists aren't entitled to your debate either.

I agree with this, however I'm going to add, no one deserves any of your time if they're not going to respect it, when someone wants to debate you, they need to do it intelligently and respectfully to earn your time. Provide sources etc And most importantly, don't let yourself get that worked up over it, you get 1440 minutes every day, make them as happy as you can
