the aftermath involved massive swathes of the American left revealing themselves to be pretty cool with it happening

And how does that matter? Supporting a killing is pretty worthless and inoffensive, I want them actively out and participating in the killing themselves. I don't want anyone to be safe, it seems like the only time the so called "right" is even willing to humor the idea of fighting back is when they personally are being killed.

However unlikely it was for someone like Kirk to be targeted, as a phenomenon it is slightly more likely now than it should have seemed to anyone before September 10.

And? Good, who gives a shit. Did anyone think people actually cared about talking heads who don't spout their views?

So I think this movement that urges the continuation of the Kirk campus chats is either a bunch of chickenhearted soft men living in denial of the political landscape or else,

The political landscape is massively misunderstood and there isn't even a real "left" at this point as it's effectively just a coalition of nonwhites, faggots, jews, and women, and treating it as a unified force with actual positions is fucking retarded. Being white, being against jews, and discussing age of consent, and being against female autonomy are all things far more likely to lead to someone killing you then sitting on a collage campus and saying "I'm fine with white genocide as long as it happens legally" or "I support sexual promiscuity, premarital sex, sodomy, and crossdressing, but you should have to wait until you're 18 before being mutilated by life ruining drugs"
