@Karina_GA88@saturrrday I can only assume you’re repeating a soundbite you’ve heard as if you listened to that exchange, you’d know that wasn’t the point he was trying (inarticulately) to make.
Claiming he was racist is reaching. In any case, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all
@Karina_GA88@saturrrday See, I believe every human is worthy of empathy - another thing I’d disagree with CK (& you) about
I don’t believe he created division at all. Instead he stuck his head above the parapet and discussed EVERYTHING. All the most sensitive things. With people who disagreed with him
@vegan_rav@saturrrday How can you possibly determine that someone is racist simply because she hasn’t agreed with you on something that, evidently, people far smarter than us haven’t found to be so simple.
Again, I’m not damning you for your lack of commentary on the Uyghurs, Myanmar, Sudan & Syria
@Karina_GA88@saturrrday Because he was a human being. Just like you & me. He had a family. And he spoke regularly with people who disagreed with him
He invited and encouraged discussion and respectful debate on the most sensitive topics. He never shied away. No two people agree on absolutely everything
@vegan_rav@saturrrday If nothing else, Charlie Kirk spoke regularly with people he disagreed with and who disagreed with him.
That’s not divisive. More conversation is the solution, mate. Not less.
No two people agree on everything, especially on the most sensitive / important topics.
@vegan_rav@saturrrday Can you understand why she might be hesitant to express a view on it though?
A war that has been raging for nearly a century and the worlds most intelligent people believe it’s deeply nuanced.
It’s entirely plausible that she’s not racist and doesn’t wish to speak out of turn.
@saturrrday@vegan_rav But why are we even seeking to attack her anyway? She’s posted about feeling shocked & sad by a bloke being murdered
Why are we screaming “but what about….” at that time? It serves no purpose to create further division. I don’t know Laura but I’ve no reason to think she’s evil
@vegan_rav@saturrrday You can express a view on CK without feeling the need to express one simultaneously on Gaza, surely?
Let’s not seek to demonise people as racist for that
Have you expressed your views on the ongoing conflicts in Sudan, Syria or Myanmar? I wouldn’t claim racism if you hadn’t
@_TheSuper7_@Tgarratt10 Why, in order to speak about a tragedy, you must have spoken about all tragedies?
Have YOU mentioned the war in Myanmar? What about the conflict in Sudan?
No, you’re only taking the moral high ground because he’s failed to mention the particular flag you care about right now
@Villarreal_Rep If he is convicted, then he should face the harshest possible punishment. Should never see the light of day again as far as I’m concerned.
However, he hasn’t been convicted.
“Innocent until proven guilty” is a standard that we would ALL expect if we were accused of anything
