Yeah since his death I watched a couple of videos and he is was so robotic and insincere. Like he would just cut off his opponent if he detected a keyword that relates to some lukewarm rebuttal (that anyone with a passing familiarity with the topic would see through) and use it as a rhetorical trap, to stop having a thinking debate and pivot to simply spewing talking points.
Smelling the feculent turn, the crowd would then cheer and whoop him on as he would pile on more and more bullshit over the original dishonest dump.
Then his Move: he would ask a question based on this insincere tower of turds. He would repeat it, it’s a simple question, right? Just answer the question.
Obviously the original point is buried under several layers of shit by this point, so it’s hard to tell what the debate was even about…
I think that’s what honest people failed to realise when debating Kirk. It wasn’t about anything other than winning the debate.

Him and a bunch of other dipshits that hold these “debates” would have failed high school debate classes or an actual judged competition.
