 And here's why because we live in an abundant society We live in a place where you could have literally weed delivered to your front door. It's like what and somehow oh, that's Liberty No, that's actually slavery that was turning point USA founder Charlie Kirk comparing weed delivery services To slavery If you did a double-take You weren't alone because even for Charlie Kirk like that's that's a bit extreme, right? I mean, I know that he's out there. He has some really cringe beliefs He was a big stop this deal guy, but even for him. That's that's a bit crazy So I actually had to check to make sure that he wasn't taken out of context or he wasn't being facetious But no, he actually said that with a straight face because he meant it although He did realize how silly he sounded so as salon writer Zachary Petrizzo explains Turning point USA founder Charlie Kirk who is currently fighting off an FAC complaint over his group's refusal to disclose its donors Made the remarks on Friday while speaking at TP USA's annual young women's leadership summit in Dallas, Texas We live in a place where you can have literally weed delivered to your front door It's like what and somehow oh, that's Liberty Kirk said according to video of the speech posted online the pro-trump pundit then added no That's actually slavery so stupid upon the completion of his initial riff Kirk began to backtrack on his statement That's actually ah, okay. That's actually a form of slavery for media matters watching Kirk stated. That's a form It's a form of being it's a form of being subservient to something that actually Controls you that's not you being free a TP USA spokesperson didn't immediately return a salon request for comment on Kirk's remarks Even though he did a little bit of backtracking and damage control. It's still deeply deeply stupid having weed delivered to your doorstep Not only is that extremely based That is quite literally Liberty to ban that would not be like the promotion of freedom That's like backwards mental gymnastic logic that you're using to like justify banning something because you don't like it Oh, well it controls you it controls your mind. So like I don't like it ban it I mean you could literally apply that logic to everything Pornography which he probably wants to ban as well, you know, not just weed but alcohol. It's obviously a Fact that you are more free if you are able to engage in things Like smoking pot watching pornography That's up to you as an individual and to take that away means you are against liberty But in his weird mind, you know, see it's bad. I don't like it So if we take that away from people, we're actually giving them more freedom because they're not controlled by the substance See smart. I mean it doesn't matter like whatever they say They're always going to frame it in a certain way no matter how clownish it appears So they literally will be against legalizing recreational pot use for adults And then they'll frame that as I don't know we're in favor of liberty because it controls you Dude fuck off. That's not how liberty works dummy. That's not the way that liberty works The standard is if somebody is an adult and they know the dangers of something which I mean weed is not Dangerous but something like alcohol for example in cigarettes if they know the dangers They should be allowed to do that Consenting adults should be allowed to do what they want between one another so long as they're not hurting anyone else not hurting society But these folks who claims to be about freedom and liberty like the opposite is actually true And it's not just the issue of legalization of recreational pot. It's also abortion Well, we support freedom and liberty, but we also want to ban abortion We literally want to tell women what they can can't do with their own body like imagine if It was a crime to jerk off because all of those dead babies that you just skied it into a sock That's like genocide like imagine if they applied that logic to themselves It'd be stupid and twisted, right? They also want to make sure that trans people can't use the bathroom of their choice They can't play in school sports if they're young they want to make sure that gay people can't be married I mean, I don't know what his stance on LGBTQ plus marriages But I'd imagine that he was a little culture warrior So, you know, it frustrates me that they really want to have it both ways They really want you to think that they support freedom and liberty while they fight to take away civil rights civil liberties I don't know if he supports the Patriot Act and whatnot. I can't think of a better liberty than actually living But I bet he supports wars It's just it's so frustrating like this is Orwellian this is George Orwell's America like this is what he wrote about it was about war being peace freedom is slavery and ironically they cite George Orwell to argue that it's actually leftists who are Orwellian It's just everything is upside down and it's because of folks like him who literally are arguing that it's slavery It's not free to get weed delivered to your door You're a clown Charlie Kirk and nobody should take you seriously, but millions of people who do take you seriously I hope that Someday they come to their senses because that logic right there That's dumb. That's not smart
