Can anyone give a concrete example of Charlie Kirk being mean or abusive to an interlocutor? Or of spouting hate or any of the other things he's charged with?
He was basically a paleo-conservative with views to match. I'm very far from being a paleo-conservative and am skeptical of its value in the current world, but in everything I've seen he's unfailingly kind and gentle with people he's talking to.
got his arse handed to him at both places
I should hope so!
Remember 'cutting sessions'? Jazz musicians would compete with each other in after hours meetings. You had to be top notch to take part at all and there was no dishonor in losing (wiho won and who lost would be very obvious to all present). Many famous players would relish times that the other players out did them.
So... any links to relevant parts of him being outdebated? Any evidence he was upset by that?
