That's the point, other civilized countries have more compassion in this regard.

Isn't this something that AI could do for you ? I thought the clips channel was gold in itself, especially for a microdose refresher every now and then.

Or maybe it's like a collective, where there are a lot of imbalances, pressure builds, and eventually something snaps, and bubbles to the surface in the form of an extremely intense event. Which ultimately leads to more awareness, more love.

I didn't say he deserved to be hated on. I just expressed a cause and effect. For example: if I express some racist views on this forum, I'm probably gonna get some people sending me not so nice vibes. It's just obvious.

Maybe you misunderstood. No one is saying he deserved to be killed. But I don't see him as someone who stood for the greater good.

If one has a lot of unempathetic views (like trying to justify Gaza massacre for example), one is bound to attract some negative energy.

That's not the point. If we're going to elevate someone to hero status, we need slightly higher standards.

My sentiments also.

You quoting me out of context. (We were debating the need to elevate him to some kind of hero status.) No one implied that being shot for having different values was acceptable in any way.

Can't disagree with that one. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk

I'm not doubting the merits of debating. Charlie didn't invent debating. He helped to get Trump elected. Objectively it's hard to view that as a positive.

Open debate with the intention of winning hearts and minds for Trump and everything that goes with that.

I think he probably had a not so good influence on a lot of young impressionable minds. I'm gonna say this again, this is a guy who thought it a good idea to force his daughter to have the baby if she was ever raped. I'm sorry for his terrible death, but he was not a wise man. (I still don't get what's the big deal about Charlie being willing to debate others, that's literally what people in politics do, they debate stuff.)

Come on, he went there to win votes for the conservatives.

You said he was a hero because he fostered debate, but really he was part of a conservative propaganda machine. He wanted to convince people to vote conservative, that was the real intention. And once again, he was assassinated, was he truly willing to die, who knows. It was traumatizing for sure, and if some people need to view him in a super positive light in order to heal, so be it. Personally I don't feel the need to do that.
