A nomination to those that wish to silence freedom of speech. I’m going to be careful with my terminology (Admin). The lefty that assassinated Charlie Kirk, someone that possibly didn’t possess the literary skills to debate their opinion, someone that was possibly scared to hear an articulately spoken retort that was probably the thoughts of the majority, probably too scared of the distain their outburst would be met with, took someone’s life. A father, a husband, son, grandson, I’m sure you get the idea.
There are certain lines that must never be crossed when expressing Conservative opinion, incitement, hateful language, even racial language. None of these lines were ever crossed to my opinion when Charlie Kirk debated any particular issue, although I’m not going to pretend I agreed with everything he had an opinion on but isn’t that the whole point of free speech?
For me, the assassination of Charlie Kirk symbolises the agonisingly slow deconstruction of free speech in the Western world, piece by piece, word by word. The thing for me that makes this so abhorrent is the fact that so many laid down their lives in two world wars in order for us to have the right to free speech, democracy and liberty, an ultimately selfless act that should never be forgotten.
In a world where the minority seemingly has a stronger voice than the majority, where being without a label seems to outweigh what people really are, where injustice is common place, or to be expected. I for one just can’t accept it, I’ve lived in an era when a spade is a spade, say it as I see it and exercise plain old common sense, I always felt I had the ability to speak freely,
unfortunately I’m beginning to feel that this is no longer the case.
