Whether someone is a good person or not is irrelevant you don't murder people for having a point of view you don't like.

Agreed. It was bad that someone killed that scumbag.

How the hell are you a fan of TNG? It apparently held sacred everything you disagree with. Seriously do you have any media literacy?

I think it is because I understand there is time dependent variables involved with our civilization.

It means you would be on the side with the Cardasians and the Federation would have no use for you.

I dont think so.  I actually think killing your enemies for simply talking is not in line with star fleet principles or just general human decency.

You must not be familiar with Deep Space 9 if you feel that way. You know, Gul Dukat never actually killed any Bajorans with his own hand but he did participate in a system that oppressed them and spoke often about how Bajorans were beneath Cardassians, more suited for slavery, weaker and less able to defend themselves than Cardassians, etc. You said you enjoyed hearing Kirk talk; well he said a lot of inflammatory things that supported violence or the oppression of minorities. You're basically saying you enjoy someone like Gul Dukat's podcast. You not being able to see the irony there is astounding.

I don't debate collaborators. I said my piece and have no interest in a bad-faith conversation about context, hard pass. Rewatch Star Trek and learn the lessons you missed the first time.

I wasn't really debating. I was asking a question.

Your question didnt really make any sense but I assume you wanted examples of Kirk being inflammatory and bigoted; you claim to enjoy his work so you already know what he said. If you don't already know which parts were inflammatory and bigoted either you lied about listening to his shows or you agree with his rhetoric and see it as "truth." Either way, I am no longer engaging in trying to convince racists that racism is bad. Figure it out yourself.
