You're debilitating dysfunction leaves you incapable of explaining anything to anyone.

I'm discussing the biggest current event, a terrible assassination, and discussing the bigger picture (explaining why partisan-polarity is not good)

Spare us the noble act.

If you were really here to talk about the assassination and the bigger picture, you wouldn’t be using it as a launchpad to lecture conservatives about ‘partisan polarity.’ In reality, you showed up with an agenda and found a tragedy convenient to hitch it to.

I literally have explained that in this thread

This is what I've been trying to tell people on here for years, at this point.

The hyper-polar political scenarios do not end well. Even if your side wins, you'll be living in an authoritarian shithole for some time thereafter.

Hopefully you actually read what's written, and you understand it this time (it's not complicated)

Just own your progressivism, or don't. You won't shut up regardless

Too bad he had to leave PT and frick our thread up

You are upset, which is understandable. But lumping everyone into neat labels like left vs right and conservative vs liberal and feeling like its all one big vs. Battle is exactly what both of the very worst on both sides want right now.

Happens every time.

There have been political assassinations for thousands of years.

This isn’t the last one.

The only difference is it’s fed to us in real time now and people are letting the tech control their emotions. 35 years ago this would’ve been a big deal at home and if you used a telephone you might call someone but the news wasn’t spreading as fast so people had time to calm.

Your political beliefs and rhetoric killed Charlie just as much as the person who pulled the trigger.

No. They're just being dishonest

Then tell progressives to stop referring to every conservative voice as a fascist, racist, sexist, etc., and meet in a debate of ideas, like Charlie Kirk was actually doing.

The irony of leftists calling Charlie Kirk a fascist is just too much. The dude literally toured the country going from campus to campus to campus with a game day tent and microphone to hold open-mic debates with anyone who wished to challenge his worldview. His whole life was built around the principles of free speech.

As someone who’s studied actual fascism for north of four decades, I promise you they were not big supporters of free speech. In fact, what real fascists did was things like kill their political opponents to keep them from speaking their mind freely.
