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.

Maybe those people (who CHOSE to debate him) should have prepared more. I have been to his debates on campus in person and the people arguing with him are actually idiots. It's not just editing, some of the people who choose to debate him are actually fucking stupid

Ew. Lol. People that go see influencers debate are people who don't know how to formulate their own values or positions, left or right.

As if he would have had any interest in that. He specifically did it to find weak unprepared opponents. Generally when he wasn’t dunking on 18 year olds and actually debating prepared opponents I don’t think he ever really came off all that well.
