> what we need in the United States is not hatred

What saddens me is people take different political views as hatred, and medias run with it. I can't remember how many times a person is labeled fascist or communist just because their views are different.

Kirk didn't deserve to die for having or expressing hateful ideas, but his views were not merely "different."

Charlie Kirk speaking about a trans athlete: "Someone should've just took care of it the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s or 60s[0].

And [1]:

> America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that.

And [1]:

> The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different.

Some political views are hatred, and ignoring that doesn’t serve any useful purpose.

Charlie Kirk was a theocrat. He hid behind freedom of speech with the intent to remove it for everyone else once in power. Freedom of speech is completely incompatible with theocracy. The reason people like Peter Thiel prop him up isn't to make people smart - it's to dumb them down and legitimize the worst in people for political gain.

Do you think some political opinions can be hateful

The people crying fascist are sometimes correct. The people crying communist genuinely seem to think it applies to Democrats. Democrats are a center-right party by European standards.

There's a side that is genuinely, factually, deliberately misled by their politicians on a routine basis and it plugs into Fox News. This isn't a political statement. It's documented up and down.

Unfortunately that is not true anymore. Some far-left policies have been implemented or originated first in the US, in the democrat environment and later imported to Europe with more or less success.

It is funny that every side believes that the other side is genuinely, factually and deliberately misled by their politicians on a routine basis.
