Let’s see, he stood up for free speech in a time where a lot of people (specifically on the left but not exclusively) think that free speech should have limitations placed on it. He also encouraged discussions on subjects that society has deemed off limits, which is a weird concept to begin with, and specifically went against censorship laws that places like the UK have put in place and campaigned spoke out against them ever being put in place in the US.
Nobody should be able to be arrested because someone fount their online posts offensive. That’s a very dangerous idea but it’s becoming more common abroad (again, see the UK) He never incited violence against others like you’ll see from a lot of other political-adjacent people, and championed free, fair, and open discussions about political issues. I don’t agree with a lot of what he said, but those are all objectively good things.
true but this clearly isn’t about the loss of a life. if it was, everyone would be posting about Palestine rather than this one guy. everyone only cares about Kirk because of his politics, but you’re butthurt when people are honest about it. keep taking the moral high ground ig, but know that you don’t actually care about his life, just his rhetoric.
