@the.republic.view: During a campus debate, a student was asked whether it is better to have conversations with people or to "kill them for a difference of political opinion," in reference to a violent incident involving conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The student argued that Kirk "incited the violence". When challenged by another speaker to provide a "real example" of Kirk explicitly telling someone to "go kill this person, go hurt this person," the student could not produce one, asking instead, "Are you for reals?". The second speaker, defending Kirk, asserted that Kirk did not incite violence and argued that it is the left that is "threatening people all over this country". When the student asked for an example, the second speaker claimed he had received a death threat for coming to the event that day. He concluded by asserting that the left's ideology is "built on violence and revolution," citing Karl Marx and Das Kapital as evidence. #CampusDebate #PoliticalDiscourse #FreeSpeech #TurningPointUSA #PoliticalViolence
