Posting Through It – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Charlie Kirk went from a heavily mocked “lolcow” with astroturfed appeal to a hardened MAGA loyalist and bonafide celebrity known for publishing heavily edited debate-style clips to social media. On September 10, a man assassinated him, shooting him dead in front of a large crowd at Utah Valley University.

This episode examines both how Kirk died and how he lived. We talk about how Kirk created TPUSA, a key organizing arm of MAGA, how he contributed to the events of January 6, 2021, and his history of making bigoted remarks. The episode details how Kirk changed after the so-called "Groyper Wars" against Nick Fuentes’s followers and how the Right has responded to his killing.

They also discussed "Chorus" and shared an excerpt of their conversation with Luke Savage about the secretive dark money dispenser paying pro-Democrat social media influencers as much as $8,000 per month. The guys close things out with another featured reading -- this one is about Philadelphia sports: "JACK POSOBIEC: The Phillies Karen and the death of American manhood — why we're losing our nation one surrender at a time."

Ben Lorber is a senior research analyst at Political Research Associates. He joined the show for a discussion about the pro-Israel groups cheapening the real antisemitism affecting Jewish people by doing things like pick fights against children’s entertainers like Ms. Rachel and Elmo. How do we keep our moral compass steady against those who seek to wield it as a bludgeon to silence critics of the Israeli government?

The good news is we talk about Proud Boys in this episode. The bad news is we recorded it before the debate and wish it weren't so relevant. This week Jared Holt talks with Eat the Rich about the Proud Boys, white supremacist infiltration of law enforcement, and the election.
