Thank you for being the true side of humanity on this and everything and not sane-washing or white-washing grifters trying to take down our civilization. My current biology professor is even trying to indoctrinate on crazy conspiracy views and this week included a link to “a report” on estrogen in the water “turning men more female.” I think I am going to report her after the course is finalized but in Central FL they probably support what she is doing at our community college.

Charlie Kirk was pro public executions. Isn’t that ironic?

Thank you for summing up my feelings about him. Just because someone can speak louder and faster with superficial talking points does not make them a great debate.

CK was a master of social media and knew how to manipulate his listeners with talking points. Most Americans have a short attention span, so Instagram was a perfect medium for radicalizing people. He built a business based on hate and made a lot of money doing this.

Yesterday, my trainer and I had a discussion about CK. When he told me he agreed with a lot of stuff CK said, I was shocked because my trainer is black. My trainer liked CK's attitudes on taxes and debating in general, but he had no idea about CK's beliefs that black people were inferior, women should submit to men, and that whites were being replaced by racial mixing. My trainer thanked me for giving him something to think about, and I thanked him for helping me understand how so many otherwise good people can be manipulated.

wonder if he agrees with CK view that civil rights act was a horrific thing? It is amazing how two people can see the same thing and get different impressions. My impression - he was a bully with well polished lines for the predictable debates - when faced with real debators he shrunk.

He was vile, and I’m shocked only by the instant martyrization he is getting. The media are lined up to praise him and glorify his name. Ezra Klein of the allegedly liberal NYT wrote that Kirk “did politics the right way.” Yes, as a member of a group he said merited execution, I appreciate his clickbait demagoguery.

Thank God he’s sort of out of the picture.

I don't know what happened to Ezra - but he has become a cure for insomnia.
