He didn’t say he was liberal I’m saying he was inherently classically liberal because of his views on the constitution, individual rights etc. He believed in representative democracy (e.g. a republic).
Again I implore you for your definition of fascism.
“Othering” isn’t fascist. It just is. We are the society we are because we are not the society we aren’t. This is the case with any group. If not being cool with literally everything makes you a fascist then everyone is fascist. He’s right to question why we send so much money to Israel that’s just having a brain. I guess AOC is a fascist too because she is anti-genocide.
I don’t know what youre talking about in the last part but everyone lies with statistics all the time. If you found statistics to counter that statement you’d be lying. Lying is just another term for interpreting or spinning.
“Followed the money” if he was just doing what got him paid that doesn’t make him a fascist it makes him a grifter. A fascist is an ideologue with a very specific non-liberal worldview. He was an egalatarian that wanted to settle differences through debate. That is a far cry from someone marching around in jackboots looking for a victim.

What is the definition you are using?

“You’re strawmanning me!”
Okay. Is the point of that comment that political assassinations of non-violent people should never happen?
What does Popper mean by “defend a tolerant society”? What do you think people should think when you post that now in a thread about a political murder?
Do you disavow the murder of Charlie Kirk?
Do you think it was immoral?
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 5 weeks ago:
You are saying the term ‘fascist’ as if it’s definitionally agreed upon and then implying that the entire right is fascist. If that’s the case then you would, definitionally, be the extremist because you think that normal people being normal is fascist. Half the country voted for Trump. Kirk believed in a constitutional republic and Presidential elections. He was also, due to being a Christian, positionally anti-LGBT but not antagonistic to them. This position is hardly something new. He welcomed them into his movement and has plenty of gay fans. He held classically right wing positions which some may find objectionable but nonetheless cling fervently to a liberal world order. Fascism is inherently anti-liberal.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 5 weeks ago:
There are also plenty (arguably way more) that are lefties that hate Trump’s guts. What’s your point?
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 5 weeks ago:
I’m challenging the certainty of this entire site. My personal opinion is that he is a broken product of a nihilistic culture. I also think that he hated Charlie because he thought Charlie hated gays even though he was a big tent conservative that was inclusive for all. What people don’t understand is that Kirk WAS the moderate conservative.

What is the difference between center-right, right and far right in your view?
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 5 weeks ago:
He was born and raised in a Christian conservative family. In a religious conservative state.
The origin story of many gay people or future political leftists.
Gay hate can only really exist in an environment without gay people, same thing for people who hate trans people.
Assertion. It’s like saying you can’t hate men unless you grow up in a society without them. People hate all kinds of people for all kinds of reason. This argument doesn’t work.
Which hate comment are you talking about?
He said Kirk was spreading hate.
I believe there’s a lot of conservatives out there who would be willing to kill someone on their same side for not being extreme enough.
What you believe has nothing to do with what is true. There is no evidence that he thought Kirk wasnt extreme enough. In fact his hate comment indicates it could be the opposite. (e.g. that he saw Kirk as a Nazi that needed to be killed)
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 5 weeks ago:
that’s just a fact
Should be easy for you to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt right now then.
- Comment on Aged like milk 5 weeks ago:
Do those words mean you support the assassination of someone who was non-violent but expressed disagreeable viewpoints? That’s not very tolerant.
By this standard anyone who supports such a thing should also be assassinated. (Note: anyone can define anything anyway they want to justify this)
This is why the paradox of tolerance is a stupid, poorly camouflaged advocacy for political violence.
Just own up to saying you want to kill your political enemies. It’s more honest.

You could be characterized the same way.

So how do you know he’s right wing?
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 5 weeks ago:
His Mom said he had become more political lately. Specifically left-leaning, pro-gay and pro-trans. He left a note for his trans roommate that he was going to assassinate Kirk. He said that he “Had enough of Kirks hatred” in his discord chat and inscribed pro-trans, gay and antifascist rhetoric on the bullets.

How is any of this right wing?

You still use a calendar. It’s called the Gregorian calendar after Pope Gregory XIII. The year is 2025 because Christ was crucified 2025 years ago. You and the entire world use a Christian calendar every day. Also life begins at conception.

I disagree. WW3 is already underway and is primarily informational. Combat is a combination of targeted strikes, drones and artillery etc Cyber warfare will also be a big factor.
Truth has been increasingly elusive and with AI we will no longer know what is true and what isnt because we can’t even believe our eyes.
