He was a young guy who had a vision to stop the propaganda being spread in colleges around the US. He was a Christian and that was his worldview. He answered questions from young people on campus according to his conservative/Biblical POV because he felt radical liberal profs were brainwashing the youth of this country. And yet he's the one people are now saying he was a Nazi, white supremacist and Lord knows what else. Ironic.
can you prove these statements?
i've also heard he pretended to be Christian but radically misrepresented Biblical Christian worldview, and that he professionally manipulated unprepared college-age youth in debate, then heavily edited video of those debates, specifically to further a particular secular worldview, and at the same time interacted a few times with actually prepared and educated debate opponents and was utterly destroyed in argumentation -- footage of which he of course did not not post himself, but is available.
given the current climate, i am literally afraid to find out what the facts are because i could lose my livelihood for searching for the truth. if i google to find a debate of him losing, i might be tracked and targeted and my life destroyed and my family's lives put at risk just for trying to find out.
what i understand is that he made a living on youtube by manipulatively abusing unprepared, ignorant youths in debates on college campuses for purely secular reasons, not religious reasons, and had a big following on heavily edited, very misrepresentative, inflammatory youtube videos, from which he drew a lot of money, and were sponsored by secular far right political groups.
this might not be correct but as i said, if i try to dig, there is a danger that i will be literally threatened with murder and that i will lose my livelihood.
my question is how is this someone that we think we should be erecting a monument to in our nations capital if (1) i don't have a clue who he is (2) the indications i can glean is that he is a 4th rate trickster capitalizing on super manipulative completely secular political waves (3) actually finding out - or even trying to find out - who he is and what he did carries an implicit threat of destroying your livelihood or evening being murdered (4) if you did find out he wasn't someone worthy of a monument to his glory and ever said something you would certainly be threatened with murder and lose your job for saying so.
all i have is what you tell me and a few headlines.
i literally am afraid to put his name in a search bar, because my family may starve to death if i click on the wrong search result.
just posting this reply, on CC, saying i don't know who this is and the little i have heard of him indicates he was a scumbag, i am literally afraid that you personally are going to find out who i am, where i work, get me fired, make sure i can never get another job, and then come murder my wife.
how is this "free speech"
