Except that isn't what Kirk did.

He dedicated his life to destabilizing the united States and endlessly campaigning for the party and man who destroyed US democracy and its constitution.

He dedicated his life to convincing the working class to fundamentally give up all their rights and voluntarily become slaves to pedophile oligarchs.

He dedicated his life to spreading white supremacy and the genocide of PoC, domestic and abroad.

Advocation for violence from a position of influence is itself an act of violence. It is knowing that you (rhetorically) are convincing the most violent and unhinged in the population to inevitably physically attack and oppress the groups you hate. Its knowing that violence isn't nearly as likely to happen without your public calls for it.
