My Final Word: Charlie Kirk, Free Speech & the Danger of Martyrdom

1

This week, Martyn unpacks the uncomfortable tension around the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We must defend free speech — even for those we disagree with. But martyring a man who weaponised speech to belittle and provoke others isn’t defending free speech. It’s distorting it. Charlie Kirk was protected by free speech. He wasn’t a champion of it. His killing is a terrifying escalation — and no one in a civil society wins from that. In solidarity, the revolution continues.

Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

  1. Kirk was a liar who served the interests of ‘israel’ and big companies that wanted slave labour. He was a traitor to the American people, and certainly no champion of free speech- shutting down anyone who came equipt to challenge his disgusting lies. Anyone who wasn’t a moron would be systematically screened out from asking him questions.
