    Maybe it’s possible to condemn political violence but still say Charlie Kirk was a bad person?

      Charlie Kirk wasn’t an honorable individual. 

      He dishonored himself on multiple occasions. 

      I can’t honor the dishonorable, that is just not possible.

      Hmm yes I too enjoy debating people half my age who don’t know how to respond to a firehose of falsehood.

      Taken out of context, Kirk made a lot of reasonable sounding statements around the importance of free speech and needing to have respectful discourse on opposing viewpoints.

      In context, it was all an excuse to be able to say vile, hateful shit and if called out say ‘see!  They don’t support free speech!’

      The last point he was making was that mass shooting statistics aren’t that bad because some of them involve black people.

      Fuck Democrats who are white washing the piece of shit propagandist.

      People in the spotlight try to make everybody happy. Newsom says debate is good for the people, and I agree. What you stand up for when you debate? Well, that’s…debatable.

      With that said, I will honor his death by following one of the things he said famously: That empathy is something made up. Therefore I honor him by having no empathy for his death. To do otherwise would be dishonorable.

      Newsom was the corporate dem that tried so hard to look cool by tweeting like Trump and so many redditors ate it up, acting like all the left should unite behind his candidacy in 2028 like he was the only solution to defeat republicans… One political assassination later and he just showed how he is one of those trumpist enabler that pullulate the Democrats party.

      His work? You mean fuck civil right, gay ppl should be stoned to death, women have no autonomy and people need to die so we can have pewpews? Hard pass.

      Gavin Newsome is a fucking center right hack in the mold of Schumer, Pelosi, Clinton, Biden, Harris, and the rest.

      Democrats want to lose and remain controlled opposition to fascists. It has never been more obvious.

      If continuing his work means promoting debate then sure. I’m down for debate.

      If it means promoting his ideals specifically fuck that.

      Y’all gonna let this shit happen again. Trump is burning the country to the ground and liberals are already saying they will let him win again if the Dem candidate isn’t perfect.

      Remember, you will have two choices in the next Presidential election. You either vote for one or the other. This is not the time I’m history to be overly picky.

      Would you rather have MAGA in power? If so, definitely don’t vote.

      He’s running for office. He can highlight the ‘open dialogue’ to the conservatives and young people while also working to make America inclusive and fair… like a liberal

      This is taken out of context and poorly at that. Gavin Newsom said, “The best way to honor Charlie’s memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate.”

      His work was bringing college age students into politics. And Newsom is welcome to continue that work. Remember his beliefs are counter to Kirk’s

    40. ChiefBlueSky on

      The “work” hes referencing is engaging with one another and debate, not “being a mouthpiece for racism, white nationalism, misogyny, transphobia, gunphilia, and hate”. Questionable statement but in context is better than it looks in excerpt.

    41. Mon1verse on

      Perhaps he meant that it’s okay to be different and that we don’t need to resort to violence 🤔
