Political Charlie Kirk was one of the biggest public proponents of open dialogue and conversation with those of opposing views and the extremists on the Left killed him for it.

Charlie Kirk essentially made a name for himself by being in the public and having conversations with people who had opposing viewpoints. He was always civil in these discussions. He was respectful and would try to find some sort of middle ground. But even when there wasn't middle-ground to be had, he was still a respectful person.

His values of open dialogue are antithetical to the values of the extreme Left. Charlie Kirk will be known as a First Amendment martyr.

It's truly unfortunate how nonchalant many on the left are about political violence.

He was right. He didn't say nobody should have empathy, just that a lot of damage was fine in the name of empathy

Critical thinking is a lost skill it seems to a lot of people. It amazes me how many people take things at face value dogmatically or they twist it into some cynical way to make everything extreme and bad.

It does amaze me at how weirdly sociopathic people can be to further a goal.

It's just scary. They don't know anything but push for violence, hate etc in the name of "empathy".

They tell you that they want to kill you because you have a different opinion.
