Good analysis Chuck! I am not a regular user of any of these platforms precisely because of the echo chambers, anarchy and vitriol. Personally I have a deep respect for Charlie Kirk because he was a man of dialogue and peace, in much the same way I revere Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. for his peaceful civil disobedience. Both men of conviction, dialogue and peace. How do we bring our country together? Charlie Kirk was traveling from campus to campus inviting anyone and everyone to engage him in dialogue. Where do we go from here, when the prophets and poets are murdered for their ideas?
My feeds are split with the Maga folk condemning the left for cheering the murder and calling it hypocrisy, with zero self reflection on their own hypocrisy. And those on the left condemning the murder (I don't see anyone actually cheering) but also expressing zero empathy for the man.
