Charlie Kirk matters more than you think
The death of Charlie Kirk. We’ve all heard about it by now, and some of us have seen it. But what you find in popular news articles are just the tip of the iceberg. It’s horrifying on the outside, but there’s something far worse deep down.
September 10th 2025 at the University of Utah Valley, it was just another regular day for Charlie. Charlie was an expert, he had done hundreds of campus debates, but little did he know this was going to be his last. Event security basics were not implemented. It was decided to be an open, unticketed outdoor rally with no metal detectors, no bag checks, no entry screening, and no drones to scout the area. This was the moment. If someone wanted to assassinate Charlie Kirk, this was the time and place. Did the killer 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson know this? Did he coordinate it? Was Tyler James Robinson an evil mastermind, or perhaps extremely lucky? That information remains undisclosed.
Regardless of the killer’s motives, what happened next was even more unsettling. A senior artist at Sucker Punch studio, Drew Harrison, posted on Bluesky shortly after the assassination of Charlie Kirk:
“I hope the shooter’s name is Mario so that Luigi knows his bro got his back.”
This comment was widely interpreted as mocking or celebrating the assassination.
After the backlash, Harrison posted:
“If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger.”
That’s not standing up against fascism. That’s celebrating the death of a hero who tried to help lost souls like you.
One teacher said:
“I can’t think of many people more deserving of a gunshot wound to the neck.”
And another teacher said
“Loved every fraction of a second of it and it gets better with every watch.”
Referring to the video of Charlie Kirk’s assasination
Teachers always manage to spread their insanity to their students. This is not who we want around our kids.
But there are still good people on this topic that give us some hope. Gabrielle Giffords said she was “horrified” by the assasination “We must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.”
Charlie was not like other conservative activists or politicians. He believed not just in proving his points but in bringing people together no matter their race, their gender, their sexuality, or political beliefs. He cared about people, he only ever wanted to help people. Instead of hating each other let’s debate and have conversations. Who cares if it’s “controversial” that word is only used to shut down a good conversation.
He never made it about where you come from or what you believe, but democrats did. He was called a fascist for being white — an accusation born of prejudice. For having his own opinion, which he shared respectfully. Charlie was so rooted in principles of being true to himself and to the world. So why of all conservative activists and politicians was Charlie Kirk assassinated? The one that wanted nothing more than to bring people together on an otherwise polarizing topic.
Yes, Charlie’s death was horrible but not as bad as some might think. This is the “turning point”. The democrat party has just lost all their credibility and they didn’t have much left in the first place. This is oppression. Not all out war but silent torture of republicans. Chase Hughes says that democrats and republicans aren’t actually enemies. The enemy is the mainstream media turning everyone against each other. He also says that a person who believes mainstream ideas fed to them actually has more in common with a random person than of some bureaucrat of their own party. There are no angels and demons, there’s no people who deserve to be killed and who don’t. This is very true, but there’s one thing that isn’t quite right.
Democrats drive the violence, the assassinations, the racism, the cultism, the terrorism, and the hate speech. It’s not that democrats believe in dumb things like communism, but it’s how they forcefully take down anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Many regular people are silenced for having a non radicalized opinion and Charlie Kirk was even killed for it. Democrats are the aggressors. Chase Hughes is right about how it’s all happening, but he fails to recognize that democrats are not just the symptom of the system.
Remember the” peaceful protests” for an overdosed criminal that killed over 25 people. Yes I’m talking about George Floyd. You’re probably wondering, what’s the point of bringing this up? Well the George Floyd and Charlie Kirk cases are sort of similar. They let us see the behavior of the two political parties when one of their heroes are killed. Democrats create more chaos and crime as a result, and republicans behave normally like they always have. Furious, but not irrational, not criminal.
