If this person is telling the truth about who Charlie Kirk was in high school, then we understand his origin story:
1/ Bully
2/ Mediocre
3/ Victim mentality
4/ Racist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic
The Right wing is a grievance industry for mediocre whites incapable of or unwilling to compete with other racial/ethic groups & their own women.
And they have no metric for competence due to white supremacy. In their minds, whiteness equals superiority, which explains why Kirk blamed an “imaginary Black” for taking his spot at West Point. As if West Point ever owed him a spot. As if being white & male should’ve assured him a spot at America’s most elite military academy.
This would also explain how Kirk ended up at community college instead of Yale, Brown or Harvard. He was average or below average—a reality that he refused to accept.
Instead of managing his mediocrity by working harder to improve himself, he cloaked his grievances in politics & fanned the flames of hatred.
And it seems that he debated college students not out of a spirit of free speech & open debate, but because he was still nursing hurt feelings from that West Point rejection. He was out to prove to college students that he actually was better, smarter than them. He wasn’t.
White fragility is a threat to the nation.
