I can’t stand to watch coverage of the Charlie Kirk killer’s trial. He looks smug and complacent, not just because he’s a sociopath, but because he knows he has the academics, the corporate elites, the political-media class, the entertainment Establishment, and what passes today as civilization on his side. Because it’s Utah, and not New York, California, Illinois or Colorado, there’s a chance he will be convicted. But he knows that we know that Charlie Kirk’s tragic end will be America’s too, unless the decent forces of our lost civilization reassert themselves way, way, way more than they already have.
You don’t have to know or care much about Charlie Kirk’s specific ideas and attitudes to grasp that the stakes are very high. Charlie Kirk was murdered for his ideas alone, and according to the leftist perspective, this was OK if not admirable. This alone puts us one click above concentration camps. If Kirk’s killer were actually acquitted or given a light sentence, expect the concentration camps soon.
Put simply: It’s not good for freedom, truth and justice when the most evil persons alive are so smug and comfortable. And it’s bad when there’s any hint of friendliness to the idea that people deserve to be killed for their ideas, especially when those ideas, while controversial to some, are entirely peaceful. Get to know your leftist friends and family: they’re more on board with this than you may realize, and it’s truly chilling.
