Knowing what we now about MLK and how horrendous he was as a person, how do you see their places in history?

CK
RFK
MLK

???

Serious question. Not trolling. Charlie was inarguably a decent human being. The other two...not so much.

As a Kirk supporter, MLK was the leader of the civil rights movement. There really is no comparison to their place in history.

Agree.

Better analogy might be that last week was their Bloody Selma moment. It woke up a lot of people to the sheer depravity of woke progressives. (LWho are also quite Klanlike in their opinion of Jews, and who are the only faction that advocates prejudice against a racial minority (Asians).

I hope CK has staying power, in terms of place in history.

I don't know if people that write and compile these things would be the same people that would include him.

Academia is captured.

Very well said. They've always chosen horrible people as their leaders.

CK turned an entire generation from liberal to conservative. We're not enjoying a second Trump term right now if not for him. There were vigils all over the planet for the guy. There absolutely IS a comparison and time will bear that out.

There is more coming to light about MLK and his being a grand puppet to the advancement of Marxism and the socialist movement.

Taking all that information in now. I will say this about CK, it appears he was advancing Christ in his platforms first and then debating policy concerns. To me, the advancement of Christianity far outweighs any other issue.

MLK was a man with flaws like any other man. Do you think your flaws wouldn't be exploited by the weight of the FBI, too, you hypocrite?

I’m not saying they were the same, but I do believe that MLK was not viewed then the same as he is today. History views MLK with rose colored glasses now but when he was alive, he was simply one of the main go-to guys fighting for civil rights. He got assassinated and immediately became a martyr.

Charlie Kirk was fighting for traditional American values and against woke policies. He got assassinated and immediately became a martyr. He was way more than just a guy who went to college campuses to debate liberal students. He actually created and ran a massive political organization and had a ton of pull in GOP politics.

All of us are horrible human beings.
No one is sinless. No one.
MLK publicly preached non violence.
CK believed in dialogue.
RFK meh.
All were believers.

So 1. MLK
2. CK
3. RFK

You serious there bud? He did good things for civil rights and that should not be taken away but MLK cheated on his wife multiple times, plagiarized a lot of his writings, he was also a socialist.

That is easy to say when they FBI isn't monitoring you 24/7 to find your 'minescule' faults with the intent of exploiting them and blackmailing you through them. I know little about CK, but I am pretty sure he would not want you descending to these lows on his behalf.

The fruits of MLK were not good. I dont know how the Civil Rights era should have ideally played out but something went terribly wrong with the black community.

Way too early to know what Charlie’s martyrdom will do.

It was LBJ's Great Society that fricked up the black community. Democrats are sublimely clever at finding ways to frick over black people.
