wait for them to name it the “crypto.com salesforce state farm ballroom” or smth like it’s a football stadium 🤣

not that we shouldn’t criticize public figures—we absolutely should. but rather than projecting expectations of perfection onto them, we should expect that they listen, understand and change. to admit the imperfections of the dead is to set reasonable standards for critiquing living public figures

while kirk was no gandhi or mlk, even those two figures have problematic aspects—yet their efforts were indispensible. when we make martyrs of people, it reinforces the expectation that public figures have to be perfect—or else one bigoted opinion devalues everything else they’ve said or done

our focus should not just be on individuals who engage in bigotry, but the culture, the system as a whole. people are not the best or worst things they said—but words hold weight. and simply pointing out kirk’s rough edges isn’t downplaying the horror that he had to go this way—it honors his memory

the left, going forward, must admit that regardless of who “deserved” to be canceled, the way it was done—thru social media mobs, media & corpos going “woke” and firing accused, shitty media men lists—can be turned on us at any moment. and this isn’t to say don’t speak up against racism, sexism, etc

the right (& centrists now) frame kirk as this lover of dialectic who went to liberal campuses to hear differing perspectives & find mutual understanding. obv that’s not what kirk actually stood for. if it was, his fanbase would follow his supposed example and try to engage with us, not cancel us

i thought they were “america first”? we have cities in this country that could use a little bit of revitalizing, and no i don’t mean sending the national guard in to terrorize black people

i think people would appreciate her bringing up her story more if she went beyond invoking it as a political cudgel to go after immigrants and trans people

glory to anarcho-blueskyism!!
