“Elinor agreed to it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition.” – Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
Austen’s heroine, Elinor Dashwood, was listening to a relative talk rubbish she felt wasn’t worth her time to rebut. These days, it seems difficult to convince anyone to change their mind, so many of us have simply given up and retreated to our bubbles of friends and friendly media.
Charlie Kirk, however, was willing to talk to anyone. His signature event was an open-mic debate with all comers on the campus of an American university, nearly all of which are dominated by Left-wing group-think.
After Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Bentonville was destroyed earlier this week, a group of local kids came by to restore it.
