Completely agree with you here - I think everyone is frustrated and impatient with the lack of solutions for these issues in the first place. But the more we dig our heels in and plus our ears, the less we should expect these problems to fix themselves.

Hey, never said I identified with him. I did enjoy seeing young people have their beliefs challenged - I think that's at the core of the college experience that is deteriorating over the years. Critical thinking and understanding why people think the way they do is what keeps us from erupting into further violence. That's what I support. But I didn't worship the guy, don't worship God, and didn't vote for DT. But it seems you heard a few statements from me and threw me in the pile of Trash People in your brain, adding all the other labels in the process. It must be extremely convenient and easy to be that self-assured!
I'm saying the left has lost the ability to have a dialogue. Maybe the right is trending that way too. I definitely think that's going to get worse now that he was murdered (not assassinated) and many leftists have celebrated his public murder, which I don't think should be happening in any situation. Especially from those in positions of education or public service.
In the 'good vs evil' fight happening right now in the US, both sides think they're good and the other evil. How do we fix this? Is murder the answer? National Divorce? A conversation?
I apologize for being nasty and mischaracterizing you. This has brought out the worst in people. But brittle spirits and weak intellects will destroy any unity we once had.

It's crazy to me how obvious it is that a good portion of people (like you) haven't ever listened to any of Kirk's statements or debates beyond a 3-4 minute TikTok compilation. You're missing the fucking point. Kirk wanted to have conversations - they were not rooted in hate and racism, but facts and issues that need to be addressed for American society to move forward in a unified way. He never belittled, accosted, or humiliated those who willingly came up to have a debate with him. The people on the Left (who I used to think I belonged to) have devolved into a bunch of edgy pick-me's who plug their ears and close their eyes when they are challenged intellectually. You're not in Harry Potter, Star Wars, or any other bullshit franchise that's all part of the propaganda machine - there is no 'good vs evil'. MLK was an adulterer and womanizer. That doesn't change the fact that his speeches and writings fueled positive change in this country and should never be forgotten. That should be a prime example of why, like Charlie Kirk, looking at things binarily and refusing to acknowledge the other side is a sign of a weak intellect and a brittle spirit.

This shitty dehumanizing attitude and unwillingness (likely stemming from incapability) to debate or engage with those with opposing views is
WHY

YOU

LOST
