One is reminded of Solzhenitsyn’s line from Gulag Archipelago that Jordan Peterson loves to quote - the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties, but right through every human heart.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

He is the founder and CEO of The Federalist.
Yeah… But in all fairness? Charlie was very likely a personal friend to him. One thing that I’ve learned a lot about over the last couple of days is just how active Kirk was in building the weird hodgepodge alliance of conservatives supporting Trump. He was evidently the guy that brought Shapiro and The Daily Wire to the fold, had much influence with The Federalist. The description I keep hearing is coalition builder. So this is quite a bit more personal for a lot of these guys…

Interesting that the story about the casings having trans focused messaging was erroneous - and much like some of the erroneous 9/11 stories from back in the day, it helps to wait a bit to react to verified information. I'm as goofy as the next person in wanting to pick up and run with something that fits my world view, so I understand why it happens and how a mob can feed on such red meat. It's human nature. Hopefully, when the dolphins evolve and take over the world, they'll do better.

One of the casings was etched “Notices Bulge, OwO, what’s this?” That’s actually a furry/trans joke. So the reports were kinda accurate.

When I had asked AI the meaning it referenced it as a furry meme. If there's more to it, I'm unaware.
Shooter ruined his life, his family's, Kirk's and horribly...Kirk's wife and two children - and for the hatred he alleged to be fighting.

So, he's saying it's subjective or arbitrary?

Not even close.

Eh ... "every human heart" seems pretty subjective, pretty arbitrary.
Every? Nothing subjective there. 100%. Each and every single one. Nothing arbitrary, that is an absolute.

How is it not subjective or arbitrary when different human hearts decide differently on whether something is good or evil? Heck, even the same human heart can decide differently on whether the same thing is good or evil at different times.

But it’s not subjective that every human heart draws that line. And it’s also not subjective that every human has crossed that line in their own hearts in both directions.

Subjective or not, the statement above is likely false -- e.g., one can easily argues that a human in deep coma or with insufficient neurological development draw no line.
And it’s also not subjective that every human has crossed that line in their own hearts in both directions.
Yet many, if not every, draws that line subjectively/arbitrarily.

I’m bored with this debate, especially when you want to try and play pedantic and semantic games.
