Didn't say it wasn't a genocide.

Tucker is 100% a grifter. Don't think Kirk inflicted damage on any groups. His stance on Israel was abhorrent, though.

We're all abhorrent people, and honing your political opinions on the internet does very little to change that. Honestly, that's a very childish view. We all ought to be loved regardless.

Kirk has been an active proponent of white supremacy, gender inequality, regressive social hierarchy and imperial warhawks. These stances do not exist in a vacuum. They do actively harm people.

“We’re all abhorrent people” is a spineless cop out. No, we are not; our morality is decided by our compass and his compass was very clear. No one deserves the courtesy they revoke others. We cannot all hold hands and sing along because the other side actively wants to see you broken and disenfranchised, or even worse.

Centrist liberalism will try to find middle ground with a group actively willing to fight for their version of the world, and then act surprised when violence escalates.
