Convincing my left-wing former close friends on Facebook that Charlie Kirk wasn't a Nazi or a fascist is completely futile because I can't even convince them that I'M not a Nazi or a fascist, and many have known me since early grade school.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
its so insane they turned Charlie Kirk into an actual martyr for free speech. not to glaze Kirk as I really didn't agree with anything he stood for but who else in history was killed sitting in front of a crowd, allowing anyone at all to step up and debate him for fun
My dad was so freaked out by giving me my first driving lesson on city streets that he had me pull over and we went and split a pitcher of beer before continuing.
