In this episode, we confront the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it means for free expression in today’s political climate. Kirk, known for sparking open dialogue—even with those who fiercely opposed him—became a target of ideological violence. We examine how free speech is increasingly under fire, why honest debate is being replaced with labels like “fascist” and “Nazi,” and how political polarization has fueled an atmosphere where violence is seen by some as justified.

This episode asks hard questions: What does Charlie Kirk’s murder reveal about the state of free speech in America? Are we losing the ability to disagree without dehumanizing one another? And how can we reclaim a culture where ideas are contested with words, not weapons?

Join us as we break down the events, the rhetoric, and the dangerous trajectory of silencing voices through fear and force.

At its core, democracy is often described as “the will of the people.” But who exactly are the people? Is democracy about the rule of the majority, or is its true strength in protecting the rights of the minority?

In this episode of Right2bWrong, we dive deep into the paradoxes and tensions that shape modern democracies. Majority rule is a cornerstone of democratic systems, yet history shows us that unchecked majorities can erode freedoms, silence dissent, and marginalize vulnerable communities. On the other hand, prioritising minority rights can sometimes leave majorities feeling overlooked, fueling division and populist backlash.

We unpack these competing perspectives, looking at how different societies balance representation, power, and fairness. From constitutional safeguards to cultural expectations, we ask: is democracy living up to its promise? Or is it bending under the weight of competing demands from the many and the few?

Join us as we explore whether democracy is still the best system for reconciling the interests of both majority and minority voices — or if it needs a rethink in today’s world.
