Don't kill me for having an opinion.

I am not a right wing extremist. I tow no party line. The assassination of Charlie Kirk, however, has made me realize that I tend to look over my shoulder, or stay quiet, during political discussion, because, I, am "a nice guy" and "don't really want to offend anyone." That's done. You removed that option when you justified and celebrated the cowardly murder of a man that did nothing but reach out to others, primarily impressionable youth, for an honest discussion. 

Here are my opinions regarding Charlie Kirks so called offensive points:

Yes, gun violence does exist, but all good people deserve the right to self defense to protect their families, the actions of bad people does not negate that right. The gun never made anything more or less dangerous. Just as he asked about cars, "they kill people, yes, but isn't that better to have than not?" That is correct.

Immigration: it is a fact that several million people, 11 million from 2020 to 2025, 3 million in 2023 alone, emigrated to the United States. Many of which had their trips paid for or subsidized by various charities or NGOs in the pursuit of demographic and voter replacement. The additional incentives of illegal immigrant resources that far out value the resources available to american homeless and veterans underscores the point that this was an intentioned agenda to diminish the voice of the American voter. This, to me isn't really debatable regardless of your position on the morality of free movement.

Abortion: I disagree strongly with Charlie's stance on abortion, as while I appreciate life as gift, as he did, I don't think anyone's life is your obligation at the expense of your own health or autonomy. It would be illegal to force you to give up your kidney to save another life, it shouldn't be any different for a uterus. Charlie referenced Exodus 21:22-25 a few times, saying that a murderer killing a pregnant mother has killed two people, which isn't wrong, and already the law in the United States. Abortion is never mentioned in the Bible, and mostly brought up by evangelicals. I am not one, and stand on my own principles.

The civil rights act of 1964:  This was a moderately debatable mistake, not because it granted marginalized people freer access to formerly segregated spaces, but because it had the side effect of eroding the wealth primarily built up by African American entrepreneurs. The African American community suffered, lost generational wealth and shifted to a welfare system, which, generationally, has done them no favors. When Charlie quoted racial violence statistics he wasn't wrong, but was seeking to debunk the idea that bad things only happen to African Americans because of white people. That idea is ridiculous and easily debunked.

The real hotbed, and most likely why he was killed: There are only two genders. This isn't to say I'm offended by how you want to dress, how you want to act, or how you present your sexuality. I am not. I am opposed to to the policing of someone else's speech, demanding of your own beliefs to be echoed by myself regardless of my reality, and the replacement of women in their spaces or sports. This is not hate, this is a refusal to accept fantasy as reality due to threats of force.

RFK spoke, shortly after MLK's assassination that the country could be filled with “a desire for revenge.” Or, he said, the nation could try to replace violence “with an effort to understand.” 

I don't want to hide anymore, these are my opinions, please, try to make an effort to understand, try to change my mind even, but don't kill me just for having an opinion.
