This has kind of taken on a life of its own and become a viral bloodsport on social media. Another mind virus topic that has spread like wildfire and become trendy for the sheeple to fuel.

Kind of crazy that a widow trying to pick up the baton and fill the shoes of her assassinated husband would get so much widespread hate and clout.

I would get it if only coming from the left, a mixture of envy (pretty rich white girl), with their typical hate for Christianity. But I think there is something deeper going on beneath the surface.

We all know about Youtube throttling/deamplifying for poltical purposes, but rarely consider the reverse. We all see the content creators across the spectrum being rewarded for their Erika hate content, and just assume its organic viewership on a trending topic. I dont think it is. Its very likely pushed/amplified by Google in user feeds.

https://youtube.com/@friendswithmatt

^ Here is an example of a random youtuber struggling to get more than 500 views, then his posts about Erika get 10s of thousands of views. He posts an Epstein vid, gets less than 500 views, then more Erika vids getting 10s of thousands again. This pattern repeats across other YT channels.

TLDR- the left may have lost a lot of influence in traditional media, but Google has filled the void with a growing influence in shaping narratives and news cycles. As consumers, we should demand more transparency in 2026 and beyond. We need much more scrutinity to expose Google, especially as they grow (and potentially dominate) in the AI space.

Maybe if there weren't dumbass grifters like Candace pushing stupid conspiracy garbage, there would be nothing to amplify.

We have always had grifters and always will. The problem is the platform if it's purposely amplifying or suppressing one side's message over the other which Google is infamous for doing.

Yep, fair point on Candace. But I wouldn't assume her Erika views/rewards are totally organic either. She is a prime example of a useful idiot laughing all the way to the bank. Its this feedback loop where Google amplifies content, creating a reward incentive, then more of same content gets dumped into "public square". The outcome is a distracted > misinformed > brainwashed society.

It's not just Candace. People who cheered his death are looking for any excuse to justify it. They are going after the wife for anything now.

I will never be convinced that 80% or more of liberals and democrat voters weren't ecstatic about Kirk's assassination.

Getting back to the OP…. We all saw the weird social media trends during the COVID era with wild stats for "likes" retweets and followers. It all turned out to be manufactured. There's no reason to believe that google or facebook have changed. Twitter only changed because of Musk.

FFS. This is not strange at all. Read Solzhenitsyn. Read Orwell. Read the history of all the communist revolutions. There is a playbook and they are using its worn and dog-eared pages to the letter. The vilification of virtue and truth is its foundation.

There is a war going on, with one side deploying forces with precision and patience, and the other side cluelessly standing mouth agape, firmly clutching pearls at every turn of events.

One side uses an army of useless idiots, the others side uses useless hearings and Fox sounds bites.

One side uses murder, the other side uses memes. It's exhausting.

Likely higher.

No different than those who creamed themselves with glee when Pelosi's husband was attacked, Floyd died (regardless of why), when Trump was shot, Ashli Babbitt was shot, etc., ad nauseum.

Sadly, in the core of so many people's "hearts" is a disgusting, filthy core of bile that comes through loud and clear thanks to social media, where they can hide behind fake names/accounts when they reveal their true selves. Or, they're so disgusting insid,e they have no problem using their real names/faces when posting filth. They're at least open and honest about how vile they are.

There are sophisticated manipulations of searches and result's constantly going on from third parties trying to manipulate search results and promotion/demotion algorithms in media for economic and political reasons. There are also weird human social dynamics that cause things to trend that are actually more like bizarre Venn diagram overlaps of otherwise unrelated audiences that seem to cause this at times.

I don't know Erika but...

I just don't like her. I just get a very bad feeling. She seems fake to me and too much drama. If I lost my spouse, I would be in depression for months/years and deal with it in private with my family or with a doctor. Not on stage with well-curated lines. But then I guess everyone is different.

Liked Charlie, do not like Erika. I wish her well though. I think she will find another man pretty quickly and marry him and give some religious justification for doing so. Her moving-on will be quick.

Trigger warning: I'm going to say something not nice about Erika after I compliment her...

Her speech at Charlie's memorial was one for the ages...Grace, humility, reverence. Human behavior at its best.

but now I change the channel or stop the video whenever she makes an appearance. Best way to describe her is "maudlin" ("effusively sentimental")...her ongoing public mourning seems perfectly repetitive and performative and calculated to draw in people whose entertainment is recreationally grieving with the images on their TVs. I can't watch any more.

go ahead, bring the hate...

I know this is going to be shocking to the F16 crowd, but when you invite a bunch of conspiracy theorists into your camp because "no enemies to the right," this is kinda what you get.

Maybe she has this weird belief that he is in a better place, that its part of God's plan and she needs to show strength for her kids.

Maybe she isnt a cold hearted profiteering witch.
Maybe she is a strong Christian woman being judged by a society throwing stones in glass houses with 2x4s lodged in their eyes.....all while Google has them programmed to chant Jer-ry Jer-ry in their youtube feedback loop.

He doesn't. But his log in credentials work so he thinks that must mean he has something to contribute.

Its more like "F the left who killed my Husband". Not, "I want to get rich and famous".

For those that need a reminder, here was her initial response. But dont let this get in the way of all the random youtubers who really know what's in her heart....after all, thats what Google wants.

Give some religious justification for remarriage after the murder of a husband? Are you implying she does not have that right? All deal with loss in different ways. How about a little more grace than "I wish her well though".

Basically sums up liberalism. Its all feelings and emotions, to form viewpoints about what "seems" right.

95% amygdala impulse feelings and 5% frontal cortex rational thought. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and suicidal empathy. It used to be confined, but now we let middle aged white liberal women rise to authoritative positions in society, and are now reaping the consequences.

I'm struggle to find the proof that 'Hate for Erika Kirk got out of control' based on a YouTuber that said nasty stuff about her getting 10k views.

How many other channels would it take?
How many whistleblowers?

Do you think Musk knows anything about what's going on at Google? He has confirmed the leftist bias ingrained in their amplification/de-amplification of content on their platform.

Do you need someone from Google to come out and admit publicly that they are putting their thumb on the scale for what content gets amplified/deamplified like Vijaya did at Twitter?

The "All In" Podcasters have all spoken out about Google's shady tactics, along with Rogan, as they evaluate view counts on certain vids on their channels.

I think the fact that we have glue sniffers on this very thread critiquing whether or not a woman who watched her husband get shot in the neck and bleed out 5 ****ing months ago is grieving properly is proof enough that the algorithm is working.

Just some embarrassingly terrible takes on this thread.

The subject of this thread is hatred against Erika Kirk and my post responded to that claim. I don't see much evidence of widespread hatred of Erika Kirk. You decided to change the argument to leftwing algorithm bias, not something I have stated anything about and in general agree with you.

Got it, you are arguing there is no abnormal amount or widespread hatred directed at Erika. Wow.

I honestly cant think of any more hated widow in modern history. Maybe Yoko Ono....but at least there was some justification there.

I can't say that I'm that active in social media/media other than TexAgs and light twitter scrolling, and reading the WSJ. I'm probably not the best person to ask about how much Erika Kirk hatred is in the zeitgeist, but it hasn't percolated into my echo chamber, or IRL conversations. The evidence cited in your OP, a 10,000 viewed post, isn't cutting it to me for evidence.

It's called "intuition" my friend. "Feelings" are completely different. Think about it.

No one in my life knew who Kirk even was until he was murdered. But that's a function of age more than anything based on what I've learned since.

I wish everyone well. Even the Ags here who throw stones at me when I expose corrupt CEOs. I have nothing against Erika, I wish the assassination had not happened as I am a Charlie fan.

Religious justification is what most people do to explain their actions. Good people and bad people do it. Even people in my own family. It is nothing new.
