While I'm not a fan of Charlie's beliefs, actions and his brand of conservatism, he was willing to go across the political divide and foster debates with those that do not share his values.

Condolences to his young family and everyone close to him.

He was willing to debate to his own advantage.

He used the less talented debaters to ridicule the opposing side.

Both sides routinely do this.

Do you like this outcome, croes? Be honest... It's the internet so you can speak your true feelings

I'm interested to know who you think is a leftist Ben Shapiro/Charlie Kirk type who debates right wing students. I haven't heard of any, but I'm sure they exist.

It's a bit odd to claim both sides do something but not elaborate when asked for more info. Seems disingenuous.

No, it's flippant.

What's disingenuous is substituting my "this" for whatever one pleases, when in context it was obviously the concepts referred to in the post it replied to - debating for one's own advantage, and milking wins against weak interlocutors.

He debated the president-elect of the Oxford students union a little while ago.
