Kirk ordered harassment and violence against academics who teach students that queer people exist

No he didnt. Because that would be illegal, and he'd be easily arrested and/or sued for it.

Kirk supported Trump’s attempted coup of the government

Yes he did.

Kirk is a racist boss

Crystal Clanton was racist, and when she found out, she was fired. Others were the usual old tweets being used as weapons. Pretty much everything that you could say might or is racist, wasnt Kirk. So I accept that the company had issues with racism, but theres nothing 100% that makes it clear it was a systemic problem.

Kirk helped conservative politicians get elected through collusion

Thats the wrong word. The word you are looking for is coordination. And everyone does it. Why would you hold Kirk and Trump to a higher standard than anyone else? If youre implying that he broke laws, then why is there no charges?

Kirk is a spreader of plague

Yes he was.

Kirk is in trouble with the government for tax evasion in connection with funding fascist politicians

No he wasnt. There were calls for investigations, but since they were back in 2020/21, we can assume nothing came of those investigations, if they did happen. And we wont know if they happened or not because of privacy issues.

Well, I think people who support fascists trying to coup the government deserve to be shot, and people who encourage millions not to get vaccinated against deadly plagues also deserve to be shot.

You do realise that makes YOU the fascist, right? Fascists advocate for the forcible suppression of opposition, thats what you just said, right? Fascism also commonly involves the demonization of "Others,". You know, like political opponents/ And seeks national rebirth through the purge of these others. Starting to see it yet? Youve become the very thing you hate.

Congrats. In an effort to look hard in an online space, youve played yourself.
