> I disagree when it comes to people like teachers who are openly advocating for political violence.

Do you think that's a fair characterization of who's getting fired?

Was Matt Dowd advocating violence? How were his remarks so offensive that it merited his dismissal?

"You can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place."

I think any other mainstream media organization would fire him too for that.

Kirk did not deserve to be murdered.

I want you to understand the hell that a friend of mine went through after being targeted by TPUSA for being a trans professor. Harassment and hate speech in class. Attempts to have them fired. Death threats, hardcore pornography, and extreme gore regularly sent to their email.

Kirk advocated for people to be deported for their speech. Is that how we handle things in a liberal democracy?

And the reaction of a significant portion of the moderate right was to call for war against the left. We all need to calm the fuck down.
