Thanks for venting for me. I have been absolutely mystified why MSM and dems are white-washing him (no pun intended)! I get the “no place for political violence” thing. They can’t actually say, yay, he’s dead. But making him out like some kind of force of nature, this from Newsom: “The best way to honor Charlie’s memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse.” WTF? Why the hell should we “honor” anything about him? “Continue his work”? Does that mean making watch lists and demeaning other human beings while supporting fascist ideologies?
As my grandmother used to say “The world is going to hell in a hand basket.”
As ye sew, so shall ye reap. He sewed hate & lies. He got his comeuppance. Other facists should learn, they won't. It also shows that US politicos care more about the death of a fascist than that of school children.
I fess up. I had no fucking clue who Charlie Kirk was. But I am very aware that pathetic pricks like him exist.
The answers to why pissed off people do violent things are found in my quite distant youth here in the US. Any mechanism that enforced fairness from finance to media dissemination got sent to the circular file. The 'health' of an economy took precedence over the physical and mental health of us, the citizens.
I recall vividly as a very upset 27 year old talking to my future wife long distance on a payphone about how the new President elect, Ronald W Reagan was going to destroy our future. She agreed. We were right, unfortunately. (Things already were trending badly, Reagan floored the accelerator.)
May all of us not become a target for retribution. May all of us find and promote political candidates that reject invasive surveillance as a solution to our sick society.
As an American, I admit ignorance — of Charlie bloody Kirk — except for name recognition as an exemplar of the American standard pro-exceptionalist/imperialist a-hole.
Had no interest beyond that. And now, everywhere I look, there he is, with details that confirm what I have known since I got my draft registration notice in the 1960s, and that you elaborate so well: The US is and always has been a Fascist hellhole in which the population has been conditioned and manipulated by the most powerful propaganda ever devised and continually applied. The most brainwashed people on the planet. USA USA!!!

A Nazi died? Oh, no. The tragedy...
