I’m fine if they want to be a martyr. I haven’t heard Charlie Kirk spread any of his hatred recently. Kinetic solutions seem to be working.

If that was your take away from Charlie Kirk, you have a very warped and distorted view of reality.

Charlie Kirk immediately became a platform to test the whole rainbow of artillery barrages the far right has ready for when/if there is a "genuinely leftwing" attack.

It is pathetic that you think it is cowardly and ineffective not to desire pointless violence on the figureheads of fascist movements when you don't realize you are just screaming at everyone to charge headfirst into the beartrap with you.

Take your calls for violence elsewhere.

Tolerance of fascists and allowing them to live has resulted in them festering and gaining more and more power. I think we should change tactics because the live and let live/debate them instead approach hasn’t been working and, if anything, has allowed them to undo decades of progress. I’d rather we finally try out John Brown’s approach.
