I can't figure out why this guy caught a bullet. I'm going to say this..I don't like the guys argument style. CC drop out. Somewhat unwillingly to change..but was growing.. calm down cowboys!

Sidebar: I 10,000 percent disagree with his concept that women aren't raped on the percentage he thought. He could not process this concept. People. All of us have a tough time sometimes with processing concepts. My belief from women..is it probably is more like eighty! percent of women are. Yes this makes me sad inside. That's awful. I'll leave that there. Culture Is really messed up imo.

Flip side time....

Ok I'll lead in. The concept of this is explain to me why this guy was actually hateful. I'm approaching this logically and relize I'm mainly talking to a bunch of folks who ..think and perceive their realities much different than I do. We as people have a very different experiences, upbringing , and core beliefs that simply differ. I respect each and everyone here. I may disagree, but love the way other people think! I have changed many many concepts over time and grown as a person based off talking. Sometimes I argue a point..simply too see how much I believe in my argument..No that doesn't make a troll. Yes, I have some concepts your simply never going to believe. That's your core ethos. You have a core thought process that's different.Thats lovely!! I don't think reality would be better if everyone thought Nico thoughts.

As adults I really hope we have different thoughts! The concept of freedom is in my very small opinion that.. we dont all think the same. Echo chambers kidna freak me out. I think that's important reality. If this thread draws anger ..don't. please step away..don't let other's steal your peace.

As adults we should always remember that. Your thought process is valued and that's why I think how I think..

However despite my lead in. Explain why kirk was hateful? I would like a video not a clip. As adults a segmented thoughts taken and snipped..isn't intellectually honest. I detest the media for that...burns me up.

Simple start. If a person doesn't believe in race..how are they a bigot? Maybe pure logic without the shared experience of those people that have had it... However how would a white male understand that experience without actually talking to other people ..and dare I say argue..be introduced to new concepts. I just don't get it ..lately..

If this thread devolves into a bunch of hate. Mods close totally cool!. That's never my actual intent. Nico just likes to converse across differences. I think it's fun to challenge your belief structures. However if your the type this angers. Breathe and simply walk away. What we believe in..can trigger strong emotional reactions. Don't let those define you.

Anyhow explain. I kind@ legit don't under the strong opinion people had against him..

Really trying to authentically understand. I'm not going to counter your points , this wont be argument structured, but I may ask follow up thoughts. I'll be polite.

When a person whips up a decade plus audience of mostly impressionable bigots who like negative attention and have lots of guns, fills the spectrum with constant rhetoric of how doing violence to people and controlling them is good, and causes the occasional faction falling out over purity tests of bigotry, what do you think happens?

There doesn't have to be a coherent motive or a lead you by the video clip effort. Looking at his quotes and speeches yourself should do the job of showing you how thoroughly bigoted this guy was in words and action. Because he says one or a few times that he didn't see race doesn't mean he actually believes that or acts by that. He made a lucrative living stoking the fires of a white nationalist and fascist crowd while adding enough disclaimers that those who wanted to fig leaf the horrendous things he said could do that.
