Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It’s possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

The time for being “against political violence” as a general concept is long passed.
One side has violence against anyone but themselves as their only policy. Fascism doesn’t surrender to reasoned argument, law or elections.
It’s certainly on the very limit of when it should be used but for whatever it means, Kirk was just a hateful person. As far as I’m aware he didn’t actually murder anyone but in the current climate, what did he expect?
He was certainly influential enough on the wrong side of the wrong topics that putting some lost lives on him wouldn’t be remiss.
There’s. I love lost from me. It’d just be nice if it hadn’t gotten like this in the first place but some people love to hate
*no love lost
He didn’t directly murder people, but the ideas and beliefs he spread did. I mean, at the very least his Covid conspiracy theories were killing people.
