      Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

What kind of bs is this? What a screwed up world when you can SEE a guy get shot on TV and then people come up with this crap?
One where the dude who got shot advocated for this type of violence for close to a decade.
Not sure what level of morality your are working with, but he would have been a proponent of standing on your neck.
That's not correct. He didn't advocate for "violence". He was a diehard proponent of gun rights (I'm not) but that's not calling for violence. And I dont really care whether people agree or disagree with his views, SURELY we can agree that NO ONE should be shot for their views, especially when they've gone out of their way to advocate for open discourse and debate RATHER than violence.
Not even Nazis? We literally had a war about that.
Well, YMMV but personally Im a pacifist. I dont believe in killing ANYONE. I would make an exception for someone directly trying to kill my loved ones and I was there to stop it, but that would be self defense, not murder. My grandparents ended up in Canada specifically because they did not want to fight with the people who where raiding their villages and killing them.
My mileage definitely varies, friend.
One set of my grandparents were children in England in the 1940s, and experienced their homes being bombed during Nazi bombing raids over London.
My other set of grandparents were a bit older and raised in Canada, but both proudly served their country against the Nazi regime. Grandfather was an RCAF navigator and grandma was a nurse.
You don't negotiate with Nazis. You shoot them. Dead.
If you don't, they will simply do the same to everyone else.
