His entire life is on video. Please pull direct quotes for any of that. I watched in the aftermath of his death as all of these horrible things he supposedly said were paraded around. Every one was manipulated nonsense. The machine hated Charlie for telling the truth and people were listening.

Wow. A real Charlie Kirk supporter here on HN. Shocking.

I mean, yes that's the definition of parasocial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction

your questioning made it sound abnormal. If this conversation were about Kobe Bryant and someone used "Kobe" to refer to him, would you have made your comment? Pretty clearly your criticism of parasociality doesn't have much bite if everyone is parasocial.

While I think calling a basketball player by their first name is parasocial and lame, it doesn't compare to calling a white supremacist by their first name. That's just twisted.

Do protests ever lead to violence? Are you being obtuse or do you believe this is actually safe?

All sorts of things can lead to violence, including a failure to protest. With enough weasel words, anything can sound reasonable, to people who don't pay attention to that stuff. So?

Intentionally obtuse, got it.

Does driving a car ever lead to violence? Are you being obtuse or do you believe this is actually safe?

Driving a car is not an emotional act 99.9% of the time. Driving a car while you are emotional is in fact dangerous and often leads to violence.

Pretests aren't dispassionate. That's why they have to be protected, that's also why it's deranged to suggest what you are suggesting. The main difference between the setup of a protest and a lynch mob is that the subject of a peaceful protest isn't usually present.

How are your rights being violated? I'm sure you have a solid and thought-out answer that justifies such a casual attitude towards violence.

> How are your rights being violated? Surveillance capitalism. > I'm sure you have a solid and thought-out answer that justifies such a casual attitude towards violence. The ones with a casual attitude towards violence are those executives. Facebook leadership showed an incredibly casual attitude towards the genocide in Myanmar in which their platform played a huge role. Their purchases of doomsday bunkers further he…

There is a world of difference between building a doomsday bunker (which is definitely not limited to the ultra wealthy) and suggesting that someone should walk through a riled up crowd that hates their guts.

If you are unwilling to accept that statement, have a good day, because I'm gonna stop here for my own sanity.

I'm being surveilled and profiled by these companies. Let their CEOs feel maximum heat.

Having a dedicated team to track protests and avoid them to protect your own life is "maximum heat."

Or, they stop doing things that enrage millions of people and the protests go away. They don’t need protection from their actions at everyone’s privacy expense, they need to face the people and adjust their actions until that’s something they’re willing to do.
