Proof that you shouldn’t kill violent extremists, just try to distract people from their influence. Killing them just martyrs them and draws unneeded attention to their cause.

You have no idea where the actual extremes are if you considered Kirk a ‘violent extemist’. Please stop muddying the term so that we properly identify and communicate about actual violent extremists.

You think a guy who advocated for executions being broadcast live on tv wasn’t a violent extremist? Stochastic terrorism is just as violent as regular terrorism.

Though the concept of stochastic terrorism can be useful, you are misapplying it here.

I am not familiar with Kirk advocating for executions being broadcast live on tv, but no I would not consider that opinion to make someone a violent extremist. I believe George Carlin also held that opinion.

I’m not misapplying shit. He advocated for violence and he got what he deserved. Anyone who defends him is just as big of a piece of shit.

Interesting, can you find me full context quotes or videos of Kirk advocating for violence?
Show threadteftOct 10
No, look it up yourself. I don’t engage with sealions.

I have tried to find it in the past. I was curious why people kept saying the things you are saying. I couldn’t find anything damning. I found a great deal of out of context stuff that made him look bad, but that’s true for anybody with thousands of hours of talking on camera.

Is being a sealion a good or bad thing? Is a sealion anyone that disagrees with you?

A sealion is someone who demands more proof more proof more proof because no amount of proof will change their mind.

Thanks! I appreciate the explanation. Hopefully the other person will provide the first bit of proof to back up their claim 🙂

Where did this term come from? This is the first time I’m hearing it.

It’s how you’re acting.

Well that’s adorable. What evidence was provided to support the assertion that Kirk was a ‘violent extemist’?

I’m not asking to be difficult, I’m sincerely asking. I’m not in the information bubble or social circle that makes that assertion obvious.

You’ve been told already.

Well clearly I missed it. What was it? The public execution thing?
