OC said "opposing views" and it's absolutely not leftist to bring violent against opinions. There's nothing left about murdering a podcast host.
The world is probably a better place with him gone but a leftist should know eliminating an extremely minor player doesn't win us the game.
In a war you take out the enemy propagandists.
Pretending Kirk was an important figure, even in MAGA is a weird thing for people on the left. He was a college campus agitator, and not even the most prominent one of those. Your comments are a caricature of militancy.
Lying to yourself that he wasn’t one of the most globally recognisable names in the alt-right pipeline is ridiculous.
