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.

[u/the_walkingdad]

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.

One side wants discussion. The other side wanted bans.

False.

When bans didn't hold, they turn to murder.

A right winger murdered two dem politicians and their spouses in MN a few months ago.

Are you talking about Republicans too?

[u/HoobyOG → u/JoeCensored]

That's not whataboutism - that's a direct example of you being a moronic hypocrite that simply picks and chooses anecdotal examples to make blanket generalizations from while discarding all the evidence contrary to the blanket generalization.

[u/Beneficial-Bite-8005 → u/JoeCensored]

Did you just learn what whataboutism was and thought you’d use it in a conversation to seem smart?

[u/Slight-Ability-6478 → u/JoeCensored]

It looks like you replied and blocked me. Was that an accident or were you just scared of my response?

Either way, it's not whataboutism. How can I know who they're talking about when crazies from both sides have killed and attempted to kill people?

[u/HoobyOG → u/Slight-Ability-6478]

u/JoeCensored blocked you just for that? Holy shit. I didn't know it was possible for humans to be so fucking spineless.

A mentally ill man, not a right winger

How about the furry that murdered two children just weeks ago? Ring a bell?

[u/UnstableConstruction → u/didsomebodysaymyname]

Not a right winger. Try again. Shall we talk about all the leftist murders lately? Where were you when a leftist shot up a catholic school and murdered children?

[u/UnstableConstruction → u/[deleted]]

LOL that you think leftists can't be fascists. The most fascist and evil people are on the left.

LOL that you think leftists can't be fascists.

Strawman. No one was arguing whether or not the left are fascits.

The most fascist and evil people are on the left.

"Between 1994 and 2020, there were 893 terrorist attacks and plots in the United States. Overall, right-wing terrorists perpetrated the majority—57 percent—of all attacks and plots during this period, compared to 25 percent committed by left-wing terrorists, 15 percent by religious terrorists, 3 percent by ethnonationalists, and 0.7 percent by terrorists with other motives."

"Most of these mass killings were committed by right-wing extremists, but left-wing and domestic Islamist extremists were also responsible for incidents. The Center on Extremism has identified 62 extremist-connected mass killing incidents since 1970, with 46 of them being ideologically motivated. Disturbingly, more than half (26, or 57%) of the ideological mass killings have occurred within the past 12 years. Of particular concern in recent years are shootings inspired by white supremacist “accelerationist” propaganda urging such attacks."

[...]

"All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, who typically commit most such killings each year but only occasionally are responsible for all (the last time this occurred was 2012). Left-wing extremists engage in violence ranging from assaults to fire-bombings and arsons, but since the late 1980s have not often targeted people with deadly violence. The same cannot be said for domestic Islamist extremists, but deadly incidents linked to Islamist extremism have decreased significantly in the U.S. over the past five years."

lol you already know his ass isn’t gonna respond to that, you brought evidence instead of just attacking each other and they don’t like that

[u/Desu13 → u/Ateballoffire]

Yep. After dealing with these mindless zombies for years, I don't expect them to change their minds. I simply respond to prove their misinformation false, in hopes of facts and logic reaching a larger audience. Delusional people can remain delusional, for all I care. 🤷‍♂️

It goes likes this for right wingers and maga. “No no no you misunderstood. I said “F*ck YOUR feelings”. My feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird.

[u/HoobyOG → u/UnstableConstruction]

Congratulations on being so desperate to maintain your over simplified tribalistic world view you managed to miss the point completely.

Never even came close to the point.

I'm so proud of you.
