Being pro free speech has nothing to do with willingness to change your opinion. Rhetoric and philosophy are both contained within the free speech bubble. Also there are no ideologies that are free from the potential of stifling others free speech, which is why it needs to be vigorously protected by everyone, all the time.

I’m not familiar with this conspiracy, but it sounds spicy.

Charlie Kirk got murdered for saying offensive things.

That’s his whole shtick. He has been outraged and animated for his entire career.

Do you understand what point he was making about gang violence and how that related to the discussion on mass shootings? In any event it wasn’t a black person.

Race has nothing to do with it at all…

No, just it’s a stupid take and always has been. Anyone with an ounce of objectivity is at least waiting for something more definitive and not simply going with what they would love to be true.

I can’t find anything saying he was killed by the right. Seems like all of the evidence suggests he was left wing motivated.

Yeah maybe. I assumed he said it because he took issue with the concept of affirmative action in general and wanted to talk about that.

They said it’s because they are black, themselves.

Those specific women said that they wouldn’t have got where they are without affirmative action. He interpreted that to mean that they were admitting to being lesser qualified.

THEY said they only got there because of affirmative action. I assume Michelle Obama meant that her husband wouldn’t have been elected if not for affirmative action as well, which i disagree with.

He said that in context of a few specific women, not black women in general. Seriously, taking things out of context is so habitual that I can’t believe anything.

Do you or do you not think it’s ok to kill people who express opinions that you strongly disagree with? Because i don’t. And if you do, then you have to allow for the possibility that they will also kill you for your opinion. It’s a zero sum game, and any society like that will inevitably fail.

Lucky for you I’m not like you then, with how you feel about murdering other people for their opinions.

I’d say the same thing to right wingers celebrating the death of someone on the left. Wrong is wrong.

I can’t believe I’m discussing whether or not it is wrong to kill someone for the crimes they may or may not ever commit…

Should his (possibly) millions of his supporters also die? Should they preemptively start killing people they view as threats to them? You know, since some people are saying that they should die for their opinions… you see how this goes? It’s not hard to see how a zero sum game ends without any winners. That’s why you have to compromise by at least not killing each other.

If you don’t acknowledge the difference between war and murdering someone in cold blood without warning, then there isn’t any point continuing this conversation. Also I hope for your sake that you don’t cross paths with anyone who thinks like you do, but has different opinions.

Those aren’t about murdering fellow citizens because of what they say.
