  @mechoman444 I would love to see some evidence that Charlie Kirk ever had one person admitted to an asylum. Show me one admittance form with his name on it. You might find some videos where he claimed those people were mentally ill. I believe he honestly felt that they were and had more concern for their mental well-being than you do.

  I don’t believe that agreement and tolerance are always healthy. There are things we should stand against that society accepts. That isn’t hate. #lie

    Your prose comes across as deliberately nice and tolerant, but that only highlights how shaky your stance is. You frame “tolerance” as though it excuses supporting Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t. Using tolerance to shield a bigot and a racist is not a virtue, it’s complicity.

    Opposing Kirk’s rhetoric isn’t hatred. It’s simply refusing to let prejudice masquerade as principle.

      @mechoman444 If he is "on record" with statements about committing people to institutions, please share some links and I will be happy to read them. I might agree or disagree depending on the information provided.

      My "prose" is just the way I speak. I don't care if you find me tolerant or not. Tolerance is not something I strive for, nor is hatred or bigotry.

      I would submit that Kirk's commentary and opinions are no more hatred and vitriol than your own. You are just on opposite sides. #truth

        @luyapapi If you come to this conclusion, you have to be very close to the Nazis.
        Charlie Kirks ideology was way more hateful and anti-human.
        You are a thinly veiled troll. #truth
        Your faked civility in writing would be something to compliment, but we live in the age of chatbots, so it's questionable if these skills are yours.

        I’m not here to hand you evidence or play research assistant. I’m responding because your own tone was condescending and I’m not going to let it stand unchallenged.

        Charlie Kirk was a bigot and a racist. That is not an opinion but a matter of record. His rhetoric makes it obvious and your defense of him makes your position clear.

        If you think I was calling you tolerant or care if you are tolerant or not you completely miss the point of what I was trying to say.
