Comments on Kuzushi and Charlie Kirk by hairshirthedonist

I'm trying to guess how many of the people coming out of the woodwork to extol Kirk's virtue on social media since the shooting had much of an idea who he was or what he had to say before he was killed. I know a number of politically "conservative" people who are quick to form opinions and spout them off, but who aren't truly politically engaged or well informed. I could be underestimating how much he would have shown up on their feeds over the last few years, though, given their interests and clicking habits.

Kirk used his notions of civil discourse and open debate as cover for his bigotry. When I hear "Prove Me Wrong," I can only wonder why a normal person would need someone to prove such horrible ideas wrong.
