They fought a war against an opposing army, not by assassinating people exercising their right to discuss opinions and ideas

Of course it’s morally superior to kill a conscript (the British army was largely comprised of conscripts) than it is to kill a propagandist who advocates for political violence. /s

In fact they fought FOR the right to have opinions and ideas and to express them.

It was so important that it was left out of the Constitution and had to be submitted as a bill to amend the Constitution.

Charlie Kirk spouted all kinds of bullshit about my country. I’m very happy he won’t be doing that anymore.

Nicotine withdrawal does not kill.
