RIP: Charlie Kirk Assassinated at Event in Utah



https://x.com/shoe0nhead/status/1966135535199527137

these last 2 weeks have completely blackpilled me on “the left”. even after 10 years of covering their antics, “woke” slop etc.

i am not “leaving the left” i still have all my economic left positions, i am quintessentially a 2015 berniebro, a huey long disciple, for strong social safety nets, workers rights etc that hasnt changed and only has gotten stronger with time. i side with them on things like Israel & war in general. but is that even what left is nowadays? i dont know.

looking around, socially, *personally*, on a human level, if this is what the left is i am not left. for the first time in a decade i truly do not want to be grouped in with these people. it is now very clear we live in completely different realities with different morals. from the insane, bizarre reaction to the murder of an innocent woman on a train reflexively getting madder about people being mad about it than the actual murder, dismissing people’s very real concerns about a dying decaying society to “well thats just living in a city, chud!” “car accidents are more common!” to celebrating the gruesome murder of a husband, father, just a guy. not a politician, not a CEO- a fucking guy. for having normiecon campus conservative coworker politics. for the crime of not being a liberal, not believing in the current thing.

it is clear how they reacted about charlie is how they would react about me, my friends, my family, any of you, your friends, your family that have ever stepped out of line of the nebulous ever changing definition of “progressive”, anyone who has ever been called a “nazi” for the stupidest shit in the last 10+ years. charlie was staunchly right wing, but remember, none of you are pure enough. many things have made me feel this way over the years (dnc fucking bernie twice, covid lockdowns, trucker protest, being lied to about kyle rittenhouse and believing it like a moron, drag kid shit, being gaslit with the balenciaga “drama”, realizing “adults should be able to do what they want” is becoming a fascist belief, the “bike karen” lie, how they wanted Daniel Penny’s head for doing the exact community policing they talked about wanting, i can go on) but this week in particular has been eye opening.

posting videos and pictures of charlie’s wife and young kids will not move them because they cannot relate and never will. they are atomized bug people who hate their families and themselves. the unfortunate product of modern society. they are miserable evil human beings and i owe many people many apologies for ever thinking otherwise. maybe i will calm down, but i couldnt sleep, but i am absolutely demoralized and blackpilled beyond belief. i do not want my child growing up in a world like this. sick evil shit.

 
BAMN - "by any means necessary"

Believe them when they tell you.

From the last two paragraphs of Price's letter (bold emphasis added, italics in the original):

I will finish with the words of the President-Elect, whom it seems advocated for violent retaliation in our very chamber, feet away from where he had debated Charlie Kirk. This is the measure of the man we are not going to prevent from becoming President.

"At times, there is simply nothing else that can be required except for violent retaliation. And this is a view I wholeheartedly agree with; the view that some institutions are too broken, too oppressive to be reformed, like cancers of our society. And they must, and they should be taken down by any means necessary."

I have resigned as the honorary secretary of the Oxford Literary Debating & Union Trust, the charity that owns the @OxfordUnion’s buildings, and dispenses its charitable responsibilities onto the Union as its delegate.

The callousness of the Union’s President-Elect has shocked me, but I also can't accept the lack of intervention on the issue.

The trust is full of the most incredible people. I hope this ultimately helps, in a tiny way, a great British institution that I care so much about.

Much of the nonsense you see in universities today would end by simply ending taxpayer-subsidized student loans, and taxpayer subsidization of universities.

Then, only students who actually wanted to go to college would go, and would have to excel academically to get scholarships (or pay for it themselves), and universities would only teach what will be profitable for the students, instead of filling their heads with garbage.

Failure-to-launch adults could work dead-end jobs until they decide to act right, instead of being paid by the rest of us to learn how to become semi-pro crybabies.

There's a lot more that needs to be done, but those two things would end so much of this.

If there are people who celebrate, defend, or dismiss the brutal murder of an innocent man, killed in front of his wife and children...what you’re witnessing is a rejection of basic decency and liberty itself.

You cannot reason with individuals who are morally opposed to peace and human dignity. And it’s becoming increasingly clear: sharing a peaceful social order, let alone a government, with them is untenable.

Personal anecdote: I was in class at my university in Canada when it was announced that Ronald Reagan had been shot.

No one cheered but my professor and several students had big smiles and were delighted at the news.

I was an apolitical philosophy student at the time. Their reaction was shocking to me.

The cancelation of leftist ghouls celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk is a good thing. Free association goes hand-in-hand with free speech, and we can't have a functioning society if there's no social cost to lauding the murder of one's political opponents.

For years, the Left wielded cancel culture against the Right to stifle debate without cost. Now that they're glorifying the murder of the Right's most prominent peaceful debater, they're suffering a cost for doing so as the Right turns cancelation back against them. Ironically, in both cases, the Left is for censorship and the Right is for open debate.

In the wake of Charlie's assassination, many people are demanding that we redouble our devotion to the "free marketplace of ideas." The call seems at first glance courageous and noble. In reality, it is reckless and impractical. We had an open marketplace of ideas; the Left shot it up.

Not only have extreme leftists committed violence in the marketplace of ideas; more scandalous still, mainstream left-wing voices have cheered and made light of the violence. There can be no open marketplace—of ideas or anything else—under such conditions.

Marketplaces require rules, confidence, and common media of exchange. They require, in other words, order. Liberty requires order. One cannot be both free and undisciplined, for instance, or free and ignorant. We know this philosophically, and we also know it intuitively. It's why we don't let toddlers vote.

What we require now is the reassertion of order. We must insist upon the acceptance of basic truths and moral goods, not as the asymptotic goal of endless debate but as the axiomatic foundation without which debate cannot occur. We must foreclose certain antisocial behaviors and suicidal ideologies. We must, to borrow a phrase from Chesterton, stop "the thought that stops thought."

In practical terms, this means we must stigmatize certain evil ideas and behaviors, and we must ostracize people who insist upon them. More practically, this means that people who persist in such disorder should lose their social standing. In certain cases, they should lose their jobs. There must be consequences.

With any political reform, it is wise to err on the side of caution. The offenses that merit such ostracism should be particularly egregious. A good place to begin would be with those who celebrate the murder of an innocent man.
