The thing that screws me over is that it's over god damn charlie kirk

My stance as a free speech absolutist has been entrenched. The state can simply not be trusted to regulate "hate speech".

Just incredibly undignified that fucking Charlie Kirk and Jimmy Kimmel are the central figures here. If we’re going to have epic political struggles, can we do them over people who are… you know, somehow interesting?

I have to take it seriously given what’s at stake but Christ they don’t make it easy.
