- 0:00 Yeah, so I think what we're seeing is a lot of political hypocrisy on, and I'm not just gonna say just the right, but you know, with the whole George Floyd thing, I do think there is some danger in comparing these two situations because they are so vastly different.
- 0:18 But the one comparison you can make is you know the freedom of speech part of it, how kind of the left was looking to censor things being spoken on the topic around the George Floyd shooting, and now kind of the right is doing the same thing with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and I think that no matter what, freedom of speech is one of the most important ideals that our country was you know founded on, and it's just a lot of hypocrisy in my opinion from the right, people who were so angry about any sort of like cancel culture or um freedom of speech being infringed upon during the George Floyd time is now pushing for censorship against people who are speaking out who are speaking their opinions on the Charlie Kirk murder, and obviously, like I said, the two situations are not comparable in any way, shape or form, but people posting a simple opinion and then getting their visas revoked, not being able to get their education because of because of it is simply ridiculous, and if people can't see that that is the start of a really really big issue that could lead to complete political censorship, then they need to look clearer.
