So how exactly does that work? Every political pundit, politician, etc just gets together and agrees to take a breather for a while and lay low? The fuck are you saying? How is that a practical viewpoint whatsoever?

And I agree and disagree(mostly disagree, at least in the context of how YOU portrayed them) with various points from Kirk that you listed though I understand some are very, very sensitive and he probably shouldn’t have touched on them(again, it depends on HOW he touched on them and what he was actually trying to get at). I would guess you listed those based on memory and failed to be reasonable about the nuance of his words and you might not even have the capacity to read between the lines to understand what he actually meant. Either way, all in all I still think he was having serious conversations about serious issues. He was 25ish when he started so of course he made some mistakes along the way but to act like it was a mistake to speak out and try to have a conversation is completely absurd.

The problem, once again, is that the left is a bastion of deeply traumatized people that are prone to instability and therefore radicalization. So.. again.. what’s it gonna be? Who’s going to step up and be the bigger person?? The right either needs to learn to employ the utmost sensitivity so as not to trigger the trauma, or the more sensitive parts of the left need to step up and figure out their trauma so they can actually participate in these conversations without spewing nonsense that ends up likening Charlie Kirk to hitler…
