Ironically Charlie Kirk wouldn't have even supported this.
I hate the guy and am glad he's gone, but the last thing that guy wanted to do was affect free speech. That was his meal ticket.
Nah, it's 'free speech for Nazi scum like himself, not for anyone else.
I mean I agree he was Nazi scum.
But his whole schtick was generating anger in front of live audiences. They eat it up.
So I disagree. Kirk was a piece of shit but I don't recall him ever calling foul on someone saying something mean.
Without people able to walk up to him and debate freely, he wouldn't get his entire schtick.
This is just wild ignorance or revisionist history. Turning Point USA had professor watchlists where students could report professors with “leftist” views and then TP’s supporters could send the professors death threats https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/sep/17/turning-point-usa-professor-watchlist
TIL
My stance is with regard to his debates being far more in good faith than the likes of Shapiro, Peterson, or any other alleged 1st amendment defending debaters.
I do not support most any of his stances but the right to open public discourse.
But if there's evidence to the contrary im not here to defend it. Just stating my experience with his brand/id
And that stance is silly, the whole point of his debates is so they can get edited into misleading "best ofs" and the like. It's the same shit Shapiro and Peterson do
Correct. They do not happen at all without free speech. That is my point which you've clearly missed.
