Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Holy shit bro

The analogy doesn't work, you might say. Palin's crosshairs symbol was misinterpreted. The left isn't being misinterpreted when it calls Trump's movement fascist. Yes, but it is fascist. That's the point. An inflammatory truth is still the truth, and no one should feel obliged to pretend otherwise following Kirk's atrocious murder just because one side would rather not hear it. (You would think a faction that valorizes political incorrectness might appreciate that.) It's not irresponsible to shout

Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist who pushed the racist Great Replacement Theory. Kirk was vociferously anti-LGBTQ. Kirk's final words were to besmirch Black people. Stop this revisionism. People who say bad things don't deserve to be murdered, but they also don't deserve to be praised either.
