Replying to Avatar His_Name_Was_Robert_Paulson

meaningful and worthwhile depends on your views. he was an advocate for the removal of female rights and autonomy. he also thought the bill giving black Americans voting rights was a huge mistake. he was anti-lgbtq and preached that they are violent and dangerous. He was a white supremacist christian nationalist. Literally the only view point that I would frame as good was his views on free speech (which he used it to disenfranchise people not like himself) and the right for a person to defend themselves. so you are either miss informed about him, or you are stating your views without stating your views, if you get my drift.

There's a terrific Twain quote about reading the news. Paraphrasing: if you don't read the news you're uninformed, but if you read the news you're misinformed.

What gave black Americans the right to vote was not a bill, so you may be in the latter category at least regarding that claim. Kirk does seem to have been against the Civil Rights Bill. This is a position I hadn't considered but could probably steel man decently given the fact that so many govt interventions tend to have the opposite of their intended effect (Inflation Reduction Act, Patriot Act, Bank Secrecy Act, etc).

Have you listened to Kirk yourself or are you going by what someone else is saying?

(I'm still genuinely open to you being right on your other claims. I'm currently trying to piece together what Kirk stood for and his views.)

Yes ive listened to charlie kirk. He was an intelligent and well spoken person, who knew how to be persuasive about his Christian white nationalism. Unfortunately it is well documented what he stood for. Yes, you are correct. Its a piece of legislation, not a bill (bill being for proposals) that made it possible for equal voting rights and contributing to dismantling the jim crow laws. Yes some legislations are terrible, but that doesn’t mean all are.

If it's well documented you'll surely then have no issue finding primary source material, because I sure have tried.
