This one is new to me.

The primary issue to me isn't what he ever said. It's this idea that comes from the extreme left. From the universities. Hate speech and that speech is violence. Both of these ideas are toxic.

Hate? This is highly subjective as we have seen. Words can hurt people and have consequences but they are a different thing from violence.

Western societies have been built on philosophy and debate. The US has a long history of respecting and protecting speech that the majority of people would find repulsive. I remember in my youth hearing about civil rights groups protecting the rights of white supremacists and Nazis.

Both of those ideologies are not only evil but incoherent. They have been resurrected from death by the left stupid actions and the failure of liberal western post war political figures.

My instinct has long been that we need to let these people speak. Mark them. I wanna know who hates people based on race and other things. Just as I wanna see who is celebrating the death of Kirk.

The irony of people celebrating murder is that theses are the same people that want everyone to like them and approve of them. That disagreement is akin to violence and it should be punished.

The fact that they are in favor of murdering a guy they disagree with and hate exposes them for what they are. Groups that simply want power. So in that way, they are not unlike what they hate. This is why they will lose.

Now, thankfully the left is not a monolithic group. I know plenty of left people hate the celebration of murder. Just as plenty on the right do not want people to take vengeful actions.

We have to reward good faith debate and resist escalation. We need to respect natural rights and seek common ground. Reject this Marxist poison.
