Charlie Kirk was not just a "conservative" but a white supremacist [10] who denigrated [11] the advances of the Civil Rights era and sought to impose [12] patriarchical subjugation of all but white men [13]. Yet he was opposed [14] as insufficiently "pro-white" by the so-called "Groyper Army [15]" of Nick Fuentes. This raises the possibility [16] that the anti-fascist rhetoric [17] of Kirk's accused shooter [18], Tyler Robinson, was actually fascist pseudo-anti-fascism [19]. In any case those who are making the analogy [20] to the early martyr of the Nazi cause, Horst Wessel [21] are spot on: Kirk's death could similarly be exploited [22] to consolidate fascist rule [23] in the United States. In Episode 295 of the CounterVortex podcast [24], Bill Weinberg breaks it down.
