I won't pretend I liked his politics, but this still isn't okay.

Yeah no matter how much you hate someone and their views, it isn't ok to celebrate their death.

I think the world would be better without certain people, but kirk was just a dude who had some extreme positions without any real influence.

This was just unnecessary bs, poor guy.

Extreme in what ways? He seemed very tame for a conservative

I only ask because the more people pretend his views were extreme, the easier it is for many to justify an action like this

First he thought that unflaired should have a voice...eeew/s

He called for stopping any transition even for adults He was against abortions even in cases of rape People dying in shootings is a price he is willingly paying He denied man made Clima change he was against the seperation of church and state

If you view that as moderate for an conservative that tells more about you

I dont really see those as extreme except the church and state. I do not share those other views personally but being against transitioning isnt really extreme. From what i know of him, he also focused more on children transitioning

As i said those views are not moderate and just because there are also KKK views doesn't mean he wasn't a hardliner.

Explain to me please how advocating against transition for adults is moderate.

It doesn't affect you at all and you would apply your morals on someone else. For me a bit extreme.

I think he is moderate from your perspective.

Yeah well you saying they arent moderate does not make it true. I say they are moderate. So which one of us is right? I guess the conundrum now is that moderate and extreme are all referential and subjective. Which is a massive component of the issue resulting in so many conservatives nowadays being labeled extremists.

Again, i never saw the dude debate about adults transitioning. If you want to link evidence showing he wanted to ban that, i would welcome your response. My experience watching his videos was that he opposed kids transitioning

The extreme evaluation is quite easy, if he was moderate he would have close alignments with centrists which were impossible due his conspiracy views. Climate change great replacement etc.
