Yeah, when he started (fake) crying I was expecting him to pretend it was about Kirk but actually make it about children killed in school shootings. It was far more of an apology than it should have been.
Also, I hate the line (that’s often repeated) that “violence is never the answer.” OK. If that’s true, I guess we should stop celebrating those who fought in WWII, and soldiers in general? How can you celebrate war while also holding the opinion that all violence is wrong? They obviously both can’t be true at the same time, and we all know which one isn’t true.
They celebrate warriors at least, but many celebrate war too. I would say rightfully in many cases. Going to war to stop Fascists is a just war, and should be celebrated, for example.
The issue is just they say violence is never justified to protect the status quo, but when it’s useful for them then it’s totally fine, and they don’t address that contradiction. It’s obviously just a thought terminating cliche, and it’s wrong.

I don’t think people celebrate war in general. They celebrate the sacrifices made by people who fight in that war.
But, ya, violence is definitely necessary at times.
