UK Colleges Witness the Rise of "Debate Me" Groups
In the bustling world of internet debate content, second-year Human, Social and Political Sciences student at Cambridge University, Tilly Middlehurst, has made a name for herself by consuming the "trash politics" side of the web. This affinity led her to a unique encounter with internationally famous debater Charlie Kirk, the founder of conservative youth organization Turning Point USA.
The event at the Cambridge Union debating society was electric, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a rowdy standup gig or a Christmas pantomime. Middlehurst was selected to ask a question, and her query about whether feminism is working in the West set the stage for a lively exchange.
Kirk, known for his vocal stands on various controversial issues in the culture war, took pleasure in what Middlehurst calls his "crowd work." However, the audience responded with whoops of approval to students' questions and cackles of derision to Kirk's replies.
The TikTok video, posted while Middlehurst was wearing pyjamas, gained attention due to the ongoing controversy surrounding her question at the debating society. The video was a response to the media operation of Turning Point USA, which began to post videos about her question and the event.
Middlehurst addressed general aspersions about her being "unmarriageable" and accusations that she used AI software to generate her rebuttals. She clarified that there is no information indicating she was supported by any AI software during the debates.
Middlehurst is no stranger to the debate content pioneered by channels like Jubilee, having interacted with incel forums and watched Andrew Tate on the internet. Her TikTok video, made to address these conspiracy theories, has become a significant part of the thriving new ecosystem of debate content on the internet.
The TikTok video made by Middlehurst was a response to the media operation of Turning Point USA, which began to post videos about her question and the event. Middlehurst, familiar with the debate style pioneered by figures like Jordan Peterson and Mehdi Hasan, held her own against Kirk, demonstrating that even a TikTok user can make waves in the world of serious debate.
