I really don't get how people can see what Charlie Kirk has said and celebrate this man's message. Our country is already fallen to idiocy.
It's because to them the only thing that mattered was his in-group status. He was a "great Christian", not because he followed Jesus, but simply because he identified as such and did it loudly.
They don't see what he said. Most of the probably haven't actually listened to him or even thought about him before this.
But even if they had listened to him in the past, or looked him up now, the grounding bias of "he's a good person"/"he's on our side" has been established. That's a bias that's nearly intractable.
It's better to think of it more like a virtue signalling club. It's the epitome of in vs out group.
It doesn't matter what your group beleives/say, but when someone in your group beleives or say something you've gotta do it +1. So they're all trying to one up each other to be like "see I'm not one of them, I'm one of you... No actually, I'm more like you than you"
It's actually, unfortunately, a very common/normal social group interaction. Like, everyone does it, but normally in small amounts, or about harmless topics.
E.g a bunch of metal heads talking about metal bands (which coincidentally all have death in the name) "I really like 'mega death' ", "yeah but they're not as heavy as 'death'", "well they've got nothing on 'napalm death'" etc.
It's the actual terrifying result of online echo chambers. More extreme people egg each other on and get more extreme. And it's ironically what they always accuse "the left/libs" of doing
He was willing to die for his beliefs and he did, I say based
