Nothing ever happ-
CNN:
Charlie Kirk, a conservative political activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was killed Wednesday after being shot at an event at Utah Valley University, President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. He was 31.
Halfway through writing this article this site borked itself. The root cause appears to have been a small, random, and one-off database error that was quickly repaired, and shouldn’t be a recurring issue moving forwards. While this caused me no small amount of headache, I think it may have been a net positive, as it forced my public reaction to Kirk’s assassination to be less immediate and more thought out.
Then again, there’s something to be said for speaking from the heart.
These socialist Hamas Enjoyers don’t understand, Charlie Kirk got the last laugh. He has achieved the ultimate goal of conservatism, to be murdered by your political opposition, thus proving your moral superiority over them. Furthermore, his corpse was in such good condition that Israel will have no problem harvesting his organs, to be put into the bodies of inbred Hilltop Youth Settlers. In this way, Kirk will outlive the radical, intolerant left, and continue to serve God’s Chosen Race in glorious perpetuity.
A few Woke Rightists might point out that Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA organization had a Black Students Union and a Hispanic Students Union, while driving out any White kid who wanted the most milquetoast of “White identity politics”.
The Woke Rightists might argue that Kirk angrily denounced White nationalism with as much furor as he supported Jew nationalism.
They might point out that Kirk channeled anger at immigration into support for Israel, or that he channeled anger at boy hungry pedophiles into support for pressuring Botswana to legalize sodomy in the middle of a low level AIDS crisis.
They might point out that Kirk welcomed a tranny named “Lady MAGA” into the very same movement he kicked (non-Jew) ethno-nationalists out of.
Or that he partnered with a blacktivist homosexual during his “culture war” tour, or that he’s been an outspoken supporter of the Orwellian-ly labeled “LGBT rights.”
But I would remind you that Kirk demanded preteens carry negro rape babies to term, and recognized the grave threat to Western Civilization posed by the evil brown Islamofascists in the Middle East who are trying not to be ethnically cleansed by Jews and sent to your neighbourhood. This man was the physical embodiment of true, blue, right wing conservatism, and even if you support socialist healthcare, oppose oligarchs debanking and censoring you, oppose foreign wars, and don’t want to destroy the environment, you also have to identify as right wing. Therefore, Charlie Kirk and you were fighting on the same team and it’s time to be big mad.
The best way of dealing with a conservative, just point out that they’ll never do shit.
Unfortunately, many disgusting LefTiSTs such as Warren Balogh have renounced the Judeo-Christian values that our civilization was built upon, even “Wow, just WOWing” at Kirk’s theologically correct assertion that a Rabbi is sitting on the throne of heaven. It’s very important that young people believe this, or else they might not be quite as inclined to sacrifice their bodies for Greater Israel. And if that happens, say bye bye to Western Civilization.
That same leftoid compiled a montage of Kirk’s performative seething against White identity politics, and on behalf of Jew identity politics. Watch as he righteously denounces Hamas for killing babies, before turning around and justifying Israel murdering babies because “this is war, war is not nice.” You can watch the opening theatrics against White nationalism, or skip ahead about two minutes to get to the particular about face mentioned earlier.
Perhaps that CNN article can tell us more about this great man?
As Trump remade the Republican Party, Kirk embodied the party’s newfound populist conservatism in the social media age. Trump has credited Kirk with galvanizing and mobilizing the youth vote for him.
“No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” the president wrote. “He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us.”
What are the odds that the shooter aimed for his face, and just whiffed?
It’s easy to make fun of Charlie Kirk and downplay his effectiveness. Sure, Kirk was astro-turfed, had neither an overly large or overly zealous audience, and was correctly seen by the general public as a Republican shill. However, considering that his job was to sell young White People a bag of dogshit, anyone at all buying it was a testament to his ability and value to ZOG.
As one of many examples, I remember some online rightoids falling hook, line, and sinker for Kirk’s “based” rhetoric during the BLM riots. Kirk said something that might have passed muster in WN circles, so we must vote Republican harder.
Kirk’s entire career was in the industry of “sheepdogging.” His spurts of quasi-based rhetoric were eminently predictable. He was the political version of an OnlyFans whore who separates chumps from their money through vague insinuations of affection and non-specific promises of future action. Kirk’s performative whining about Black crime is no different from an e-thot claiming to get really wet thinking about you.
Kirk’s job was neither to set nor influence policy. His statements on the anti-White Waukesha terrorist attack meant nothing and amounted to nothing. Likewise, his recent pivot to economic populism was a cynical response to Republicans losing Gen Z due to being (correctly) seen as finance shills who have nothing to offer them. Kirk’s “solution” was a largely aesthetic rebrand of conservatism, accompanied by insignificant policy changes. The impetus, and he said as much himself, was to stop young people from voting for an actual socialist who would threaten his oligarch owners.
It might seem contradictory to political newbs that the guy who seethed to no end about “White identity politics” also spread plenty of White identitarian talking points. The purpose was to corral young White People back to the party that rewards their vote by bragging about a reduction in sentencing for Black career criminals, such as the one who stabbed Irina Zarutska in the neck just a few days ago.

Trump: A lot of the most conservative people in congress got involved. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and many others, many others. Chuck Grassley.
The most conservative people in congress are also the most eager to sign “racial justice” legislation letting the criminals out.
But surely Charlie Kirk didn’t sup-
I screencapped a few sub-tweets from the very same true blue conservatives that e-dissidents insist you ally with, instead of socialists or anti-war activists who are “brown-coded.”
If you want rightoids to support a certain policy, tell them it’s a right-wing policy, and that’s pretty much it. Problem solved. They’re not political, they’re just cheerleaders who’ve found a political-themed sportsball team to uncritically cheer for. For anyone who does want policy, the only difference between an anti-White Dindu Nuffin with a mile-long rap sheet and Charlie Kirk, is that there is a chance, however small, that the Black career criminal won’t stab you in the back.
Less than 72 hours before Charlie Kirk’s neck got blown out, a White woman riding a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, was fatally stabbed in the neck by Decarlos Brown, who loudly proclaimed “I got that White girl.” There was no prior relation between the two of them, and she was sitting down in the seat in front of him looking at her phone. Other than anti-White animus, there was no motivating factor.
UPDATE: As commenter “Firelight” pointed out, Zarutska was murdered on August 22nd. The story broke much later due to the nons in the Charlotte Municipal Government sitting on the disturbing footage.
People were rightly outraged that this schizophrenic repeat offender with 14 prior arrest was allowed to menace the streets until he murdered an innocent White woman explicitly out of racial hatred. So much so that the brave (((people))) defending Western Civilization from the evil Kremlin were outraged at the level of uppityness on display.
The future the “supporters of Ukraine” want for the Ukrainian People.
And for good reason.
So sick of the subversives who spread FUD any time a White woman is attacked/murdered by Blacks.
Based Charlie Kirk went a step further, demanding that we politicize Iryna Zarutska’s murder. He wants White People to start racial lobbying groups, just like he supports for Jews. He demands hate crime charges. He even went so far as to say that we need a real political party that looks after our interests, and implicitly called for vigilante justice.
Just kidding. What he actually meant is that it is crucially important to spend blood, sweat, tears, and money making sure that Republicans sweep the midterm elections so that they can OwN dA LiBZ and be first to pass the latest “let Black criminals out of jail” legislation, when they’re not harassing teenage White girls who hurt the feelings of brave IDF soldiers and ignoring Israeli child rapists.
Get that heckin’ White identity politics outta here!
Sounds like fascism to me, Goy.
I’ve been told by more than a few people that we need to be nicer to Charlie Kirk. That he was a well-meaning, true believer, who wasn’t maliciously pushing dogshit to young people. One must therefore conclude that it was a pure stroke of luck that Charlie’s deeply held political beliefs just so happened to perfectly coincide with that of the billionaires dispensing big bags of money.
Public estimations of celebrity net worth should usually be taken with a grain of salt. However, we know for a fact that Kirk, who started TPUSA at age 18 and was never employed as anything other than a shill, purchased his most luxurious mansion for almost $5 million, and owned two other high end homes. His salary with TPUSA, over $400k per year starting in 2021, was also a matter of public record, and the funding came almost entirely from (((donors))). Despite this, a significant amount of rightoids are calling for Kirk to be recognized as a martyr.
We’ll circle back to that in a second, as another accidental benefit of this article being delayed is that the FBI appears to have caught the killer.
Whoops! FBI Director Kash “retard” Patel erroneously tweeted not once, but twice, that they had apprehended the killer. That could easily have lead to someone else being killed by the still at large shooter, but that was a risk Patel was willing to take in exchange for Twitter clout.
After catching the guy, probably for real this time, Patel has continued to act with the panache and dignity expected out of a retarded entertainer dutiful public servant.
FBI Director Kash Patel ended his update Friday on the arrest of Tyler Robinson, the suspect accused in the fatal shooting of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, with a curious message to Kirk: “Rest now, brother. We have the watch, and I’ll see you in Valhalla.”
Kash Patel’s extremely competent FBI would have been shit out of luck had the probable shooter, Tyler Robinson, not spilled the beans to his tattle tail dad.
Despite some reports of antifa messages on the gun paraphernalia, rightoids are not missing any opportunity to whine about “white privilege.”
These are the people with whom we must come together to defeat the radical leftist menace. The civil war has kicked off, borther. We’re going to the mattresses.
I especially liked this one.
“I’m above praising Palestinians for fighting back against the very same Jews who have turned me into a fifth class citizen, and who are sending Arabs to my neighbourhood against my will. Some deranged troon with a Palestine flag was a big meanie to me online, so I’m forced to adopt a geopolitically retarded position that only serves the interest of my oppressors.”
If you can get trolled by leftoids into supporting the most effective Antifa operation of all time, (((conservatism))), why stop with Charlie Kirk? A lot of these same leftists opposed the Iraq War. Guess you and George W. Bush are on a team now. Time to support the very same Patriot Act that was used to lock up so many Jan 6th protesters.
Charlie Kirk, rightoid martyr, spent the morning of his last day on Earth peddling softball questions to help Ben Shapiro cover up Israel’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. For all we know, the people telling “Gentile News Network” to fuck off have relatives who were murdered in the “war” that Kirk is shilling for, but because they were impolite after his eulogy to the mass murder propagandist GNN is forced to stop speaking out against the very same regime that simultaneously demands open borders for White countries, and taxpayer funded ethnic cleansing for the ever expanding borders of the Jew Ethnostate.
Okay, bud.
Obnoxiously wealthy Charlie Kirk spent his days suntanning while his people overdosed on opiates. Personally, I’d like my martyrs to suffer a bit more, and not die in service of Greater Israel and Mitch McConnell’s latest re-election campaign. Luckily for us, Kirk’s martyr status is pretty much non-extant anyway, in large part thanks to the bewilderingly callous behaviour of Donald Trump.
Watch him dancing for yourself.
Uh, everyone grieves in their own way, right?
The above tweet doesn’t even do Trump justice. I’ve transcribed the full video.
Reporter: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
Donald Trump: I think very good. And by the way, you see all the trucks? They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get for, you know, like a hundred and fifty years, and it’s going to be a beauty. It’s going to be an absolutely magnificent construction.
And I just see all the trucks – we just started. So it’ll get done, uh, very nicely and it’ll be one of the best anywhere in the world actually.
Charlie Kirk worked his balls off to get Donald Trump elected, and the guy brushes off his death like someone told him that someone he had never met had their pet gerbil die. Meanwhile, the White identarians who Kirk openly worked against, day and night, are building shrines to his corpse.
Jaime, do we have the Groyper response to the Kirk shooting?
Nick Fuentes gleefully celebrated the death of Yahweh Sinwar.
Surely, the guy who lead the charge to get totally owned by Kirk over and over ask Charlie Kirk about the USS Liberty 40 times is going to be downright ghoulish about –
Am I mis-remembering Charlie Kirk as the focal point of that Groyper War thing? Wasn’t the entire premise that these Con Inc Grifters were subversive agents standing in between the people and policy? Wasn’t this supposed to mean something?
Speaking of the “Groyper War,” contrary to Catboi Respector claims, Fuentes didn’t start the attacks on Charlie Kirk and other Zio-right “influencers.” That was started by two TRS fans in Murdoch Murdoch shirts going up to Charlie Kirk and asking him why he supported the easily debunked and blatantly anti-White attack on Nick Sandman. The contribution of the Alt-Republicans to get owned over and over again by Kirk and Shapiro, driving the whole thing into the ground.
If anyone can find me the video of that confrontation, please send it to me and I’ll include it in the article.
Nick Fuentes is so willing to sell out that he pimps his 15 year old fans to mystery meat homosexual pedophiles in exchange for the phone number of random Republican Party apparatchiks, so he’ll happily read whatever script zionists put in front of him in exchange for a catboi date or two. Who better to inherit part of Kirk’s online sheepdog operation than the guy who lead a different sheepdog op, “the optics wars,” against genuine nationalists for years. Somehow, someway, there are even retards who find Fuentes a credible populist, and still think of the thirty year old manchild as an inexperienced kid who deserves the benefit of the doubt, time and time again.
I do have to touch on the baseless speculation that the Mossad took Charlie out. As Striker points out above, this makes little sense. Shilling for Israel’s genocide, malicious oligarchs, mass “high skill” migration (plus farm worker amnesties), based trannies, and everything else the Republicans stand for must remain a cushy sinecure. If not, only racially motivated Jews like Ben Shapiro will do the job. The Glenn Beck’s of the world are not risking their lives to shill for lower taxes on billionaires.
I’ve railed against Both Sides Guys in the past, however, when the very same conservatives who consider us evil “woke rightists” that deserve a bullet get got by deranged antifas, it’s hard to play favourites.
Anyway, I hope his kids are fine.
UPDATE: A commentor found this gem for me.
Charlie Kirk sold his people out so that he could live in a gated community, and never have to take the kind of dangerous public transit that Iryna Zarutska was murdered on. Iryna is a martyr, Kirk is a shill, and fuck anyone who dares put him next to her like that.
Great snapshot of the whole ordeal, as always. (Ex)TRS guys leading the charge with the right takes yet again.
Canadian “Nationalists” in need of a “fell for it again” award.
Actually, I’m starting to see why Striker got kicked out of the National Pool Party. He’s a sperg who can’t read the room.
He is so laser focused on a single point (tactical anti-zionism above all else) it’s given him rather awful tunnel vision, and some of his recent takes have been painfully retarded.
Anybody who is TRS-adjacent doesn’t have the slightest fucking clue on how to build a viable political platform, and it surprises me that people still listen to them.
In a week nobody will bother with pretending to care about this dead shill.
Lots of leftists are getting fired
I want to reproduce this telegram comment from “Mael”.
————————————————
For the last couple years, one of the main reasons I’ve ridiculed myopic rightoids who take an anti-Palestinian stance is because they’re naive enough to think that jews will simply hand WNs all the levers of power when the system eventually becomes too dysfunctional. In reality, when the state’s power can no longer maintain itself, jews will feel inclined transition towards a hard power strategy that involves drone strikes, targeted assassinations, extrajudicial killings, financial/asset seizures, starvation/resource scarcity, and many of the same inhumane tactics that Israel is currently using against gentiles in the Arab world.
As time goes on, there’s a likely scenario creeping up on us that the majority of WNs are simply not ready to accept: The path to racial sovereignty is going to involve whites in several Western countries experiencing Gaza-like poverty, and sustaining Gaza-like casualties while fighting in high-intensity conflicts against the foot soldiers of ZOGbot law enforcement armies, who lack the moral compass to resist following the orders of their superiors.
Kirk was one of the the most effective goyim shepherds that ZOG had been paying several millions of dollars every year to run elaborate deradicalization operations against white American youth on college campuses across the country, in the effort of keeping them firmly on the rightoid goy-slave plantation. From a sales and marketing perspective, he did a damn good job at quickly becoming an expert at misdirection through persuasive language and carefully curated verbiage… And now he’s thankfully earned himself a one-way ticket to hell for his actions against his own people.
Going forward, not only is it going to be hard for the system to find a replacement with the same competence, but — as Striker mentioned — fewer figures are gonna step up to the plate to assume the role of the leading figurehead to continue misdirecting gentiles purely because of the fear of future assassinations. Shapiro and other right-wing pundits have already cancelled the remaining speaking tours they had scheduled for the rest of the year in response to Kirk’s murder, and that’s objectively a major positive development for anyone thats politically engaged enough to follow the 24-hour news cycle.
And don’t even bother invoking “moral principles” over his death. Need I remind that Kirk was not only taking jewish money to trick whites into accepting their demographic demise, but he also blatantly downplayed Trump’s obvious involvement in the Epstein scandal while in the aftermath of the DOJ shutting down any further investigation into the matter (“tHeRe iS nO cLiEnT LiSt”). I don’t care about Kirk’s martial status, and I don’t care how many children he had… Every single action he took was done specifically done to break white solidarity at the behest of kikes maintaining control over managing our terminal decline.
Charlie Kirk was a valuable asset to the system over the years, and his permanent absence of is going to be a major setback when it comes to persuading gentile normies into becoming disposable subservient cattle for jewish interests. I’d much prefer Fuentes being the main target of these operations, but I’ll happily accept any major rightoid figure having their brains blown out during a livestream, if for no other reason than to strike fear into the next traitorous piece of shit that thinks they can become an astroturfed GOP stooge without facing life-threatening consequences.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Fuck Charlie Kirk, may he burn in Hell and rest in piss.
He wasn’t a “moderate@ but an extremist Zionist Jewish Supremacist, traitor extraordinaire to the White Race, genocidal maniac and a lying sack of gay shit.
If a tranny-fucking homo killed him, I’m not going to cry tears over it. Sometimes Jewish pets like trannies off a different Jewish pet (Kirk in this case) that they didn’t get the insider memo that they were both just different tools in the Jewish toolbox.
Great article, and likewise Striker has 100% the correct take on this.
Scary to think of what ZOG will resort to regarding us as things progress.
Here’s what and whom Charlie Kirk was.
A paid ZOG agent and enemy of anyone opposed to Jews
https://warrenbalogh.substack.com/p/charlie-kirk-in-his-own-words
I really dont see how this helps WN. Conservatives feel more resolute in their beliefs than ever before. This really only energizes our enemies. The Ukrainian girl should have been the martyr like you said but Charlie Kikes death has kind of buttfucked that.
Then you’re a fucking retard.
This is a golden opportunity to radicalise people, and permanently online spergs are wasting it with retarded purity spiralling.
A vacuum has presented itself, and all you need to do to occupy it is not be a fucking moron.
And White Nationalists still have the gall to act surprised that they’re still utterly irrelevant.
Okay faggot who is going to do that? Or are you just going to be gay autistic bitch online.
“Or are you just going to be gay autistic bitch online.”
Funny you should say that, because that is exactly what Striker was advocating for yesterday:
“Authentic radicals — people who want to actually save our nations — will have to wait for the Trump mind virus to run its course and for those afflicted to either die from it or develop immunity.
Use this time to hang back and develop ideas while the conservatives and transvestites cancel each other out…”
Are you beginning to see why I have a hard time taking these morons seriously?
I was at the gym today, and I randomly discovered what it is about Striker and people of his ilk that I find so fucking annoying. Him, the entire TRS mob, and a lot of the dissident e-right, are acting almost exactly like the Russian socialist emigres who formed cliques in major European cities in the late 19th century. Think about it:
-They are utterly detached from reality.
-They care more about theory than practice to the point of being obsessed with having the “right ideas” above all else.
-They’re constantly engaging in counterproductive feuds and petty name calling.
-They have little interest in putting their ideas into practice, and whenever they try, they completely fuck it up.
Yes, I’m aware that Lenin was among those emigres, but when you take a close (and intellectually honest) look at the history of the period, you’ll quickly come to the conclusion that the Bolsheviks seized power *despite* Lenin’s efforts, not because of them (he was a liability for the group for most of 1917, and Trotsky had been the guy on the ground doing the hard grunt work for much of that period).
Indeed, the success of the October Revolution was mainly the result of the jaw-dropping stupidity of the Bolsheviks’ main political rivals. No joke, you could make a sitcom centred around Aleksandr Kerensky, and you wouldn’t have to exaggerate his incompetence to get laughs out of him.
Iryna Zarutska wasn’t killed 72 hours before Mr. Potato Head but weeks before on August 22. The DEI and nigger hires running Charlotte everywhere from the police force to the city leadership tried to sit on news of the killing getting out hoping another negative report about niggers wouldn’t stain their already shit-colored skin and ape-like mentality but word eventually leaked and they found themselves in hot water anyways. If her killing had gone out around the time it happened the momentum would still be going hard against non-whites and Kirk’s death wouldn’t have deflected it. Now because of the news attention span Iryna Zarutska may end up mostly forgotten and kosher gate-kept conservatism is back on the menu although I don’t think internal US politics will be the same after Potato Head’s death at least for the short-term.
Great catch. I have updated the article.
Looks like he was shot by a degenerate man that lusted for anus. Say what you will about Kirk, but he was spot on when speaking about the abominations of homosexuality, and he essentially died for his activism.
“Homosexuality is a mental illness and should be recognized as such”
RIP Charlie
> Article shows shill literally celebrating the legalization of homosexual acts.
> Article shows shill posing with a MAGA tranny
> Article shows shill partnering with homosexual to push “Black leadership.”
> Article shows shill whining that Hamas is big mean to the gays.
Rightoid: Say what you want about him, but he was really taking it to the perverts!
As someone who is ideologically pretty close to yourself – and holds many of the same criticisms of Charlie Kirk’s politics – I can say that your response to Kirk’s murder is, in a word, grotesque.
In a few more words? Outlandishly tone deaf. Irony poisoned. A window into the soul of a man who has entered the final stage of gazing long into the abyss and becoming one with the inky blackness of the nihilistic evils that you once vowed to fight to the bitter end.
Realistically, if you removed the ghoulish gravedancing and pointless sarcasm throughout your lengthy anti-eulogy, and showed just a sliver of human compassion for a man whose shocking murder just traumatized the entire world, then you could have actually written something worth reading. You could have made some fair but trenchant arguments pointing out the very real flaws inherent in Charlie Kirk’s philosophy in a way that would have appealed to a wider audience than your 12 readers who already agree with everything you say.
If you’re still unwilling to pause and reflect for a single moment, consider the fact that you’ve had nearly the same exact reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder as Andrew Anglin did. Oh, and Mike Enoch Peinovich as well. Cold-blooded, sarcastic schadenfreude. All 3 of you are now estranged friends-turned-enemies, but you have all equally lost your humanity along with your ability to relate to anyone outside of your tiny echo chambers.
I don’t know what else to tell you. I used to enjoy your blog from time to time. I respected you and what was once a very promising political/philosophical movement that should have had a bright future. I hoped all along that you guys would snap out of the backbiting, nihilistic crab-bucket pity party that you’ve been in since it dawned on you that Trump wasn’t going to reopen Auschwitz, and that you would rediscover your purpose. Now? I’m done being disappointed. You and the other remnants of the alt-right have become so unlikeable, so dedicated to poisoning everyone else’s good efforts towards rescuing our civilization, that you almost make me want to support Israel just out of spite. ALMOST.
On a positive note, since Charlie Kirk had been a rather tall man (6’3″ or so), you weren’t able to ridicule a man you dislike for being shorter than you, for once.
Cantwell dropped audio of himself sucking dick on Telegram, and that was still a distant second in gayness to the Temporarily Embarrassed Conservatives crying e-tears over Charlie Kirk.
This was the only sensible article and reaction that has come out of the Charlie Kirk nonsense. The reactions from most online “white nationalist” circles that I check have been honestly baffling. “He was a good man.” A good man who was advocating for the slow boil white genocide? Why are whites supposed to martyr this golem instead of the beautiful white woman who died for nothing, surrounded by animals?
Keep in mind that a favorite tactic of the (((enemy))) is to set disparate groups of ‘goyim’ against each other.
This situation (post-assassination) sort of reminds me of the attempts (years ago) to get the far right into street conflicts with the far left, with the police only arresting the participants on the far right – and then we stopped showing up, and the police became the direct target of the far left instead of us. These protest events sort of stopped after that happened a few times. Weird, right?
A Mossad asset was killed and you’re not willing to fight Ben Shapiro’s enemies? What is this nazbol cuckoldry doing on my site?
My perspective is less interested in the particular object of Kirk and more interested in the subjects who witnessed his slaughter. I’ve already written extensively on it, so I’ll just copy some of my thoughts from my Substack:
To me, the death of Charlie Kirk was significant in particular because he was neither a top-dog nor an absolute obscurity. A sort of high-level Young Republican master-debater just shy of having a goofy bow tie grafted permanently to him. In a sense he felt sort of pedestrian, harmless, and an ever-present Republican shepherd for college-age youth.
And to have a figure like that turned into a gory blood fountain by an assassin’s shot is… affecting. As was the sadistic glee with which so many Leftist creatures giggled and gyrated and horray’ed over it all. I’ve seen plenty of rekt and gore online in my day, but none of it quite compared. Likely because it was tiny-faced Kirk and not some random industrial worker unwillingly entering into the Chinese space program through the roof of his exploded factory. It gave a feeling like, “I know that guy!” to then watch his jugular open up like a damned blood rift.
When I was a kid, I’d been witness to a pig butchering. The great big hog was led out into a little stall, and one of the men leveled his rifle at it. The shot pierced its skull, and despite the bullet probably scrambling up its brain almost immediately it still shrieked and spasmed in deathly reflex. But it was the way its blood fountained up out of its wound, like a damn water fountain pulsing with the turns of an unsteady hand… That’s what Kirk’s blood looked like. Not just a person’s blood, but, “that guy I know.”
If Kirk had died off camera by some kind of accident or act of God, far fewer people would care much at all. The Left would still have danced with joy, his fans would have wept, we would have mostly shrugged, and things would have gone onto the next flavor of the week within a few days. But that wasn’t the case. It was gory, and up close, and intentional, and a particularly horrifying place to get shot. And so to experience that extreme on the one side, and then to have these prissy, effete Lefties with mental constitutions less firm than a cotton ball hippy-hop and dance and laugh with abandon because it was a “Nazi” that died, it was jarring and enraging. These people who can’t even their can’t-evens without a fucking sensory deprivation safe space chamber had watched a man’s turn into a fountain suddenly were fit as fiddles and right and rain. And it sounds likely there was another troon cabal at work at least partially behind this.
Anyway, Kirk-worship is foolish, but brushing it aside as of meager impact I think is a bit short-sighted. In concert with Iryna’s own horrible and unjust death, it has really riled up a lot of people and brought out the kind of energy I haven’t seen for quite some time. Time will tell how much of this is tempest and how big the tea kettle is, but for now it’s clear to me that people need more than just facile Conservatism and its bland, uninspiring, tired acquiescence to the Left. And honestly, there’s a mutual bloodthirst developing that has no signs of quickly abating.
Here was my article on it for anyone interested:
