mechoman444@lemmy.world 6 hours agoLol! Fantastic. This is wonderful thank you so much for commenting.
So the big argument is cars and alcohol? Brilliant. Because when was the last time someone walked into a classroom holding a Toyota Corolla in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other?
Cars exist to get people from point A to point B. Alcohol exists to drink. Guns exist to kill. That is the design. Pretending they are all the same is a false equivalence.
We also happen to lead the world in school shootings and active shooters. Canada, which looks a whole lot like us culturally and legally, manages fewer gun deaths per capita. Maybe the problem is not cars or booze. Maybe the problem is metal health. Because guns are the end of the day are just tools used by humans.

@mechoman444 Guns do more than kill. They are used for sport as well. But I would agree that killing is their main purpose. They are simply tools. People use all manner of tools to kill people. I would rather address the hatred and desire to kill. Then the tools would not be used.

Ya man. Mental health. Your boy Charlie was big in putting homeless people and transgenders in insane asylums.

@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.
