There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Personally don’t think the right should be :
racist
homophobic 
misogynist 
fascist 
supporters of Nazi ideals 

Mr Kirk appeared to tick off a few of those 
Doesn’t mean he should be killed though
It does appear his murder was because he didn’t tick off ALL of those to the satisfaction of the Mormon gun lover from a family of Trump supporters

Social media has a lot to answer for.  The echo chambers and radicalisation at both ends are severely dangerous.  Neither side willing to listen to the other.  So many stories of people refusing to engage with family over a difference of politics.

For all the continuous repetititive bickering and arguing and pathetic name calling on here and despite nobody even conceding points a little, people are at least engaging in a difference of opinion on here

 
Diversity is obviously not a strength

So, then. 110,000 would rather have our women & children's safety placed in national importance above 5,000 who would rather hand (other people's) money out to those who don't deserve it, let alone have earned it.

A tad more comprehensive that the Brexit result, but guaranteed which side will get all the positive media coverage and which side will be portrayed as selfish, evil bastards.

Tyler Robinson killed Kirk because he wasn’t right wing enough 

I see the effects of division and where it will lead
Unfortunately the President of the United States doesn’t care about driving unity in the nation 
That is an extremely dangerous position
 
 
 It’s incredible that you would double down having criticised the speculation on right, by parroting the desperate narrative of people on the left. 

It’s also amazing you double down on Trump. When the left  rioted for months over a dead junkie criminal, yet there will be absolutely no equivalent of this from the right.

Perhaps Trump has decided that the most effective way to "clean the swamp" is a civil war where the extremists cut each others' numbers down to a more manageable size.

Neither a pleasant or, in my opinion, a civilised stance, but he clearly knows more about his country than do you or I.

The harmless Kirk?
The man who questioned the brain power of black people to understand his arguments, questioned their competence to perform ANY role 
Whipping up prejudice & hatred. No?
It’s incredible you keep pretending to be in dismay at division in America, when you use the exact rhetoric the left have been sowing that the antifa nut job used as justification to kill Charlie Kirk.

I see that fat mess Abbott has said that protests outside hotels are “ racist “.

No debate.

This is how the left operate, disagree with them and you are labelled or in Charlie Kirk’s case, shot.

Sky News have had to upgrade their estimates from thousands to "tens of thousands".

It's difficult for the mainstream media to play this down the amount of numbers that are there.

Love that you laughed at Mike's comment then came out with something even more pseudo cringe
We live in a biological world. 
evolutionary game theory is a well established tried and tested theory. I recommend reading up on it.
I'm well aware of it, along with the hawk-dove game, was part of my degree, what was pseudo academic about you mentioning them is it has absolutely no bearing on any of this at all imo, unless you'd like to explain why you think it does?
I’ll give it a go.

Evolutionary game theory is one about populations, growth, survival and offspring and methods employed to achieve payoffs but particularly the payoff of replication.

the West had achieved this very successfully by a combination of religion, science, technology, philosophy and industrialisation from the 19 C. Birth rates and survival in Britain were beyond anything previously known. Access to resources was equally unheard of.

Anyway, jump to the last 50 years and birth rates in the West have plummeted ( interestingly mostly in left leaning populations) while the rest of the World gained all of the benefits we once led in. Most populations are seeing birth rates decline but certain populations are seeing or have seen huge population growth.

What impact does this have on the minds of people around the World? Huge. Access to resources, survival and replication remain critical drivers against the politics of left, right or centre. 

The games that are played out all feed into the sense of success or failure of populations. The lad who allegedly committed this crime doesn't seem like a drugged up nutter. He exists in this melting pot of political and religious and cultural warfare. 

Who’s winning? Humans in general as we add 80-100 million new humans every year but mostly in Africa and Asia and they want more of what we have. 

Evolutionary game theory is a very easy way to explain actions and behaviours. A hawk and a dove have very different methods for survival but they are polarised and its all biological. 

Most of us arent generally hawks so we find their behaviour abhorrent. as it may be but they exist and impact the lives of others.

I'm quite enjoying all the videos of foaming toothless hillbilly yanks declaring war on..... well they're not too sure since the alleged perpetrator was also a white hillbilly. But they're angry! Grrrrr. Frightening stuff.

Was reading that the grandmother of Tyler Robinson says the family are hardcore MAGA Trump supporters
Being said that the killer may have been a fan of White nationalist  Nick Fuentes and despised Kirk because he wasn’t right wing enough for his taste

America is in crisis and is a world of hate & extremism

Onebilly, you let yourself down over trying to find equivalence between the deaths of Kirk and Floyd. Apart from the fact that both died there is none.

What was YOUR reaction to the murder of the Democrat politician & her husband or the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband?
Or the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol where MAGA thugs wanted to lynch Mike Pence?

Wrong uns on both sides for sure. However, compare the reaction to the killing of a career criminal (Floyd), out of his mind on drugs and the slaying of a man who harmed no one, who travelled the nation debating the youth and doing so in a polite and courteous manner. One side burnt Cities,killed people and destroyed business's causing billions of dollars worth of damage. Then took to the Internet upon hearing of Kirks murder to celebrate wildly. The other side expressed their disgusting and horror. And not a lot else.

Think about this. The white western world was the most dominant population and culture for the last 100 years but the rest of the world now dominates in population and more and more economically. 

while we see out selves as has beens the people of the USA still assume they are dominant.
