@zahlman your responses here are amazing and really articulate. I sincerely appreciate the effort. Thanks!

Most people around the world who are criticizing Charlie’s philosophy and beliefs have never watched a long form interview with him. Probably picked up a few sound bites or clips from here and there. Also there are many who are blinded by hatred towards him, to the point that they are drawing comparisons between him and Hitler. So it is hard to get through to such people. As someone with Jewish ancestry it is difficult and saddening to see this dilution.

Nevertheless once again I appreciate your responses in this thread!

BTW we don't have @-pings here; I found this reviewing my own comment history. Also, it appears that your comments are being automatically filtered. I don't see especially good reasons for this (although it's clear you've made a throwaway for this specific topic and you're getting a lot of downvotes); consider emailing [e-mail] about it.
