Charlie Kirk's organization is called Turning Point, USA. It's named that because, in promoting conservative values in young people, Charlie's aim was to reach a turning point in the march of progressive values in American society. If you believe in those progressive values and wanted that to happen, it's probably hard for you to understand why anyone would want to stop progress. That's a bigger discussion for another day that I would like to address at some point, if for no other reason than to put my thoughts to writing (believe it or not, I do these posts for me, not you). But suffice it to say that, in the culture wars, Turning Point's aim was to convince young people of conservative values, not progressive. Charlie did this through debate and words. In the last decade and especially the last 24 hours, I've heard a lot of people on the left talk about Charlie's rhetoric being racist, bigoted, sexist, misogynistic and he was a Nazi. The usual lineup of insults from the left. Morally, the left thinks stopping the onslaught of Nazism is good and virtuous and you'd be correct. But where you're wrong is believing so much of what's on the right is akin to Nazism. Unequivocally, you. are. wrong. Charlie Kirk wasn't a Nazi. And, while you may have severely disagreed with his rhetoric, he wasn't bigoted, sexist or racist either. I'm exceedingly tired of these terms being used in the same slip-shod manner that rape was there for awhile, where women were accusing men of rape for unwanted touch or advances, not the actual act of rape. It cheapens the term through exaggeration. *** I *** have been accused multiple times of being racist, sexist and misogynistic. Do you think that about me? Because, while there was a lot that I disagreed with Charlie on, there was also a lot that I agreed with. I didn't particularly like him and the way he presented himself. I thought his open advocacy for a theocracy was lunacy. But on so many other things he made sense. Well, at least to me. His organization is aptly named because, in his death, America has now reached a turning point. And I forsee two possible paths. One is mass awakening to the forces that have divided us for so long and, with that awakening, a calm gradually coming over all of us in recognizing how we've all been played like marionettes. The second, which I'm already seeing, is the division becomes much worse. And you on the left will see things you've never seen before because it hasn't happened here for a very long time. You're going to see people on the right, who have not said one word this entire time, come out of the woodwork and become violent. I don't advocate for this (hopefully, obviously), I'm just the messenger. I'm already seeing videos of people on the right seething, not because Charlie was assassinated, but because the left has casually and cavalierly called the right racists, bigots, sexists, misogynists and Nazis without any concern for the repercussions for too long.

Wait, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, Detransition?! Isn't this who you are? Why in the world would you Detransition and go against who you are just to get roles?

The creation of Hello Kitty 🤣

Under the 14th Amendment, which says the government can't treat two people differently, I want my money the same as it was given to these children. How can you suggest that you can open a savings account for a child, partially with my tax dollars, but you won't give me the same?

How interesting. It just so happens that Trump does "run" a country. So, is he saying he's running America just like Maduro did Venezuela? Ah, who are we kidding, he doesn't know what the fuck he's saying lol

See, I look at this and see a driver who's at his wits end with people who don't respect him. That "owner" had zero control over his dog. The driver saw the dog as a threat and responded. Not appropriately, but if the owner had control of his dog, that wouldn't have happened.

What say @elonmusk ? Shrug. This is the same problem with AI and how companies are scrambling to shove it up our asses for the betterment of their bottom lines. It's. Not. Ready. Yet.

One thing we could do that would solve issues like this is to stop pretending that expecting motorists to always take a backseat to careless shit bicyclists who hog the lane and act like their shit don't stink. Instead of "share the road" how about we build roads right first.
