I totally agree with that, and actually think arguments (any work, especially intellectual) can have it's own intrinsic value despite originating from dogshit human.

I was given some shit about this over the years, but I stand by it (unless it harms other people, trauma is real).

This just isn't the same as praising that person.

Absolutely. Dogshit people can still say something I can agree with and I don't think there is anything wrong with taking that position. Some people automatically disagree with a point just because it comes out the mouth of a person they don't like, and that feels closed minded; a broken clock is still right twice a day I suppose.

That said fuck Charlie Kirk.

Yes.

I mean, a random character generator can have the best idea.

Humans can literally make a mistake in pronunciation & make a good point.

I'm sure parrots had original sayings better than a lot of humans.
