How I ‘met’ Charlie Kirk

Manila Bulletin

|

September 20, 2025

Like many non-Americans, I met Charlie Kirk online.

- By DOM GALEON

Well, I didn't “meet” him, in the way of an online video call or anything like that. I met him through his videos on YouTube, on Instagram, and on TikTok. And I immediately took a liking to him.

Charlie Kirk, you see, was a man who was not afraid of reason. He would, in many of his famous videos, visit a college or university in the US, sit in an open area and openly engage passers by in a conversation.

Yes, a conversation not a debate. Although Kirk was one of, if not the most logical debaters of the right wing movement in the US, he would often converse with whoever was willing to talk to him in a very calm and composed manner. It was through this exchange of ideas that he became famous.
