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 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!!!
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 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.
Thank you for decanonizing St. Charlie. Too many in the US media have lost their jobs for failing to worship him or venturing an opinion on why it might have happened.
brilliant & thank you. the simping sorrow for and/or attention to the death of this hater, from folks who've said nary a word about the ongoing slaughter in gaza for the past two years, has been painful to behold.
Thank you for clearing the air of the stench of sanctimony that's surrounded us in the press and online.The canonization of this guy, who produced nothing of real human value, has been cloying. Same goes for the performative outrage at those of us who refuse to participate. Your take is a breath of fresh air.
THANK you,Nate, for this wonderfully sound and sensible piece, so absolutely necessary to my mental health, after having read too much nonsense verbiage on this guy. Like, sorry -- but, while I personally don't hold with assassinations, the US most certainly does, as does their bestie, Israel, so the hand-wringing from politicians in particular Is just a mite over the top, shall we say. If the idea behind Kirk's death was the creation of a right-wing martyr, I don't believe that'll run...in part because I intend to share your article far and wide. There are still some intelligent people out there...
My thoughts exactly! He was being Groomed (exploited) to be JDs VP til his newfound awareness got him on the ZioNaziTERRORISTs Kill List. And, "THIS is JFK ALLLLLL over again." The whole scenario of the day was just a rinse n repeat. ZioNaziTerrorists have a drastically limited Playbook and they've blown thru every one of their plays so routinely, they couldn't be any more obvious if they simply said "SO WHAT?"
Reading Max Blumenthal today i found that intuition to be spot-on.
There is a lot of media talk about the young man being "left wing" (as if they would know at this stage). However, one thing for sure: the CSIS (Centre for Strategic & International Studies) found that in the USA, between 1994 and 2020, left-wing groups & individuals killed 22 people. Right whinge groups killed: 3064 - thus a ratio well past 1:100. The problem with political violence in the USA is mostly related to those that prefer to use a gun rather than dialogue. Kirk was only interested in dialogue on his terms (he was a bully in that respect) - & not in a discussion to arrive at common ground.

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

I had no clue who this guy was. I came across that name b4 but didn't look into it.
Just learned in the wake of his offing that he was pro Isra-Cr*p-el and pro Genocide!!!
I was like Weeeell,... Imagine my shock...
Thank you so much for this Outstanding Honest Article, Nate 💙🎼💐‼️
Thank you for this
Great take. I align fully.

Same same same
CK was on his first stop of his 'American Comeback Tour'.
Though better understood as:
CK was on his first stop of his national campaign to be a
potential selection as JD Vance's running mate 2028 US
Presidential election...
CK was liked by many young Americans... CK Is known to have
blamed America's Baby Boomers for the debt burden on young
Americans... CK blames the Boomers buying into The American
Dream for America's debt burden of young Americans, rather than
blame the billionaires for having stolen The American Dream...
