okay he said something that catches a cute headline for tldr i wanna hate someone types, nice.
i call him a civil rights activist in a sense. maybe more a civil rights advocate is better? because he was practicing the best civil right; free speech, in a time where people would provoke violence against you if you don't agree with every little thing they think. dude said "hey, lets talk. maybe you'll change my mind. maybe i can change your mind." and he did just that, openly practiced free speech during a time where there's a ton of young people who think compelling speech is okay and. all he was trying to do is ask young kids why they believe something like that is even viable and a hundred million other things, and he'd give his side. this dude wasnt just doing a tour to say hateful things for no reason, just, "because free speech". it was to practice free speech by having conversations with those we don't necessarily agree with at all, he was debating political viewpoints and giving his perspective and asking people to change his mind or maybe he will even change yours.
i didn't agree with all his views, and i wasnt a stan that followed everything he said but jesus christ the things i've been reading are insane. the characterization i keep seeing from these crazy people are so insanely reductive its like they live in a 1950's cartoon world or something
yes, i don't agree with everything he believed or said, or agreed with everything he had to say but thats fine. i dont think that's justification for murder or a reason to think celebrating his death is okay.
Also, again, i dont follow with the civil rights law thing so much that he had a theory about, but there was also a nuance to why he believed this civil rights law thing, you know that right? It wasn't because he felt blacks shouldn't have rights like people like you are presenting things or something
all it took was a quick google search my dude...
"it focused on equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity, and that it “led to more crime.”", thats what he had to say about it and he realized it was controversial. According to him he felt it created a "DEI society"
once again, its not a viewpoint i agree with necessarily, but im just saying, you realize that there's more to that statement and he acknowledged it was a radical view and his explanation is because he thinks the way it was written could have been better.
im not even trying to get into that, im just saying he had a nuanced reason, he wasn't this super hateful person so i can see the dishonesty when i see that being pointed at to show how he was racist or something. so this was ok?
the dude wasnt some neo nazi or someting..
but i get it, you gotta dehumanize those you want dead and those who do not fall in line, no questions, or we silence you. now, we might even will kill you.
