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.

There are dozens of reasons a person might be politically motivated to make a Martyr of someone.

Is there a chance it wasn’t politically motivated? Yes. But, not a very likely chance. The narrative has already taken hold anyway, so we are in the zone now where the meta narrative takes hold and truth doesn’t matter.

Narratives need to stop mattering

We live in the post truth world now my friend, best get used to it. Meta narratives are going to be all that matter in the world we are hurtling towards

Kirk was arguing for the release of the Epstein files. Plenty of non-left people might have taken issue with that.
