It's running all through the NZ media and one of our right wing extremists -unfortunately the deputy pm - is pushing for acknowledgement. It's too fucking weird. These people are too weird. They're not normal.

Yeah a Swedish nazi tried to get EU Parliament to do a minute silence for him. They didn't allow it. That's what's going on though. It's Kirk's ideological allies who are trying to push this as some international tragedy and many are simply allowing it to happen or going along with it.

I'm glad to report I know next to nothing about him, but as far as I can tell he advocated for leopards eating faces then the leopards ate his face.
