Comment on Too soon?
mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 hours agoYour 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

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.

@mechoman444 I'm not looking for a research assistant. It just seems fair that you provide evidence for claims against someone's character. Shows that you have none. Go figure.
You call anyone whatever names you like. It doesn't make them true, even if many voices agree with you. I am glad my position is clear. In case it isn't, I am stating that you are in fact, the very things you claim Charlie to have been.
And again, I couldn't care less what you think of me. It's been lovely talking to u

@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.

@DerGiga @mechoman444 If you people understood how silly it sounded to competent people for you to compare someone like Charlie Kirk to the Nazi regime...It would be comical if it wasn't so disturbing. What you don't understand is that your hyperbole undermines your position.
You are trying so hard to vilify people that you go to the furthest extreme of inhumanity instead of comparing them to less evil people. It is such a jump that it makes me laugh. You would be more effective with less.

I’m assuming you’re the competent one.
Believe it or not it’s really hard to get people to compare another person to a Nazi you really have to jump some hurdles to do that.
For example Thomas Midgley, Jr. (Look him up) Is probably one of the worst human beings ever produced by our species and yet nobody really compares him to Nazis.
On the other hand there is nothing more universally compared to Nazis than our current sitting president his rhetoric and the people that support him including your boy Charlie.
