Kirk constantly made statements and spread misinformation that is used as justification by others to do immeasurable harm. He’s not exempt from blame just because he was too much of a pussy to actually take up the sword himself. He was a piece of shit and his death was a net positive for society as a whole. If media and politicians aren’t going to take responsibility to stop amplifying the lies of people like him then this shit is going to keep happening. It’s not worth it to fret over a bunch of memes.
