This is incorrect. He has way more than that.

They completely ignore how corrupt the conservatives have become. This is not merely an issue of left vs right. It's an issue of corruption. Objectively, there has never been a more corrupt, dishonest, unfit, criminal, and authoritarian president in American history. To act like this is the fault of the left going to far is just brain-dead. Trump literally planned and executed a coup. And these assholes dare to speak about the left going too far left because of some trans stuff. Their level of analysis is embarassing. They have the political analysis of children.

Lol. This is like saying: "I grew up owning slaves and things were cool. But then those crazy leftists ran so far to the left that now I'm fighting for the Confederacy. What a crazy world! Those crazy leftists!" No shit. Society evolves. If you don't evolve with it you become a dinosaur. When Owen Cook was born, beating blacks and gays to death was considered normal. It is no virtue to say that you haven't evolved in your politics. These guys say that like it's some virtue. Yeah, if PBD and Owen were born in 1910's Germany they would be proud Nazis.

@Yimpa Welcome back.

Sweet!

Banning guns in USA is simply impossible. But raising the age to own is possible and reasonable.

But guns are much rarer than USA so it is acceptable. USA needs stricter rules because guns are too available.

Because there are zero penalties for parents giving guns to their kids. This is part of the sick gun culture where kids are just allowed to grab guns from around the house. That's a huge part of this issue which needs fixing. Parents need to be told that if they leave their guns unlocked to their kids, the parents will be imprisoned for manslaughter.

I promise you that if Charlie Kirk arrived in Heaven and saw only black people he would curse God and side with Satan.

Does not matter. Anyone under 25 is not mature enough to own a gun. People under 25 can't even rent cars. Because rental companies know they are too immature to be trusted.

Charlie Kirk's version of Hell is he arrives to Heaven but it's all black women.

It's not fool-proof but it would reduce shootings by like 70%. I'll take 70% over 0% reduction in deaths of kids.

No one is even taking about how his parents gave him the rifle. Most of these shootings could be stopped if we raised the legal age to own a gun to like 25 and charged parents for giving their kids guns. People below age 25 are too immature to own guns.

Not everything is supposed to make sense to you because you are not in a position to have all the facts. This isn't cause for conspiracy thinking, this is normal and expected. You guys expect a murder case to be transparent to you within mere days. That is silly. Murders take months to solve and lay out in trial. Relax. The shooter has confessed multiple times to multiple people. He was no criminal mastermind, just a foolish kid and a skilled shooter.

Stop with the conspiracies. I expect better of you guys. We have video of him on the roof. The end. Stop it!

Almost certain Trump had a stroke in the last few weeks.

They legalized it in Oregon and it was a disaster. Criminalizing hard drugs is not bigotry. It is common sense because easy access to hard drugs means your kids will easily access it.

This is the kind of stuff that makes Leftists so repugnant to many. You can disagree with Kirk's views all you want, but taunting at his memorial is animal behavior. Everyone on the left should denounce such behavior. The left is supposed to be better than that. Do not give MAGA an optical moral victory.

EXACTLY! That is the key insight which nobody grasps! You are incapable of understanding reality because nature is holding a gun to your head and you are too threatened and distracted. It's not about luxury, it's about selfishness vs selflessness. You are too fucking selfish to understand reality. And from this one thing come ALL of your problems.

Because it must lead to corruption. To place anything in your mind above God is corruption. You still haven't understood that. You still think this is some mind of debate about personal choices and opinions. No. This is ontological. Your opinions, your care for your family is irrelevant. If you put your family first you are immediately corrupt, regardless of what happens. Everyone who places family as their #1 value is corrupt! Get that.

Corruption begins in the structure of one's mind.

Corruption.

@Daniel Balan Interviewing a fascist does not make one a fascist.

This is question-begging. It is degrees of right-wing ideology. You wouldn't want someone calling you a communist by being all sloppy and not wanting to split hairs. That's exactly how MAGA thinks: it's too dangerous to split hairs now, so all leftists are communists. I understand that nuance is not good in a battle. But battle is what we are trying to avoid.

The issue is that this is a relative matter of perspective. Fascist is a constructed category, much moreso than a duck. It's not so clear who is and isn't a fascist because the political spectrum is very wide with no natural demarcations. Is Charlie Kirk a fascist? There is no objective answer to that question because it depends on how you wanna look at it and how strict or loose you're willing to be. We have to be careful not to act like something like "fascist" is a clear, objective, given category. We create these categories to suit our survival, which then leads to distorted views of reality. People do over-use such labels and it does lead to a demonization effect on the left. I see many far leftists view anyone right of Joe Biden as a fascist, leaving no room for legitmate conservative perspectives. Then anything conservative ends up being misunderstood by over-lumping it with the far right. Kirk has aborent views, but his views were not outside the norm of American conservtives. Which is proven by his feud with the Groypers. The Groypers are genuine full-on fascists. But the Groypers are pretty fringe even among Trump supporters. Oddly enough the Groypers make Kirk look moderate. Being as accurate as we can be is desirable, so we don't fall into the trap of over-generalizing our opponents, which is a mistake our opponents make on purpose.
