Cheering On Charlie Kirk Assassination

EVENTS | 2025

The Left's Reaction to Charlie Kirk's Assassination

While some expressed a degree of public sympathy, a significant undercurrent of celebration, justification, and even gloating became apparent, particularly across online platforms.

This reaction is viewed by many as symptomatic of deeper ideological and psychological divisions within contemporary Western society.

Celebration and Justification

Despite the expressions of shock, a pervasive sentiment of celebration and justification for Kirk's death emerged from segments of the Left.

Online platforms, notably BlueSky, Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), displayed numerous comments and posts rejoicing in the assassination, often citing Kirk's perceived "hateful rhetoric" as a valid justification.

Many broadcasters and prominent leftist figures were observed to present a public front of sorrow—crocodile tears—while their fan bases in comment sections and private discords were reportedly celebrating the event.

This celebratory attitude is a manifestation of the Left's true colours and is indicative of a profound lack of empathy from that side of the political spectrum. The right-wing audience is generally wont engage in such celebrations, even for disliked left-wing figures, demonstrating a moral difference, showing mercy and compassion.

Rhetoric and Labelling

A significant aspect of the Left's reaction involved the labelling of Charlie Kirk and other right-wing figures with pejorative terms such as "fascist," "Nazi," "extremist," "far right," "sexist," and "racist".

This rhetoric is both dangerous and inaccurate. The strategy behind such labelling is an attempt to demonise opponents to the extent that any action taken against them, including violence, is justified. This is underpinned by a "post hoc justification" where, if a person is deemed "bad," any negative outcome for them is considered acceptable.

The comparison of Hitler further escalates this dehumanising rhetoric, with Hitler acting in the role of the devil in thereligion of The WW2 Consensus.

Charlie Kirk, was more accurately a mild, "milktoast conservative" whose moral views would have been shared by a majority of Americans in the 20th century. Yet he was subjected to these extreme far-right labels, even by the mainstream media. This "mission creep" in labelling extends the target of condemnation from genuine extremists to "anyone that's not leftwing".

Underlying Psychology and Ideology

The Left's reaction is a result of deeper psychological and ideological factors. A core concept which can be called "progressive moral theology," where individuals on the liberal left perceive those with conservative views not merely as wrong, but as inherently evil.

This belief fosters a profound hatred, and underpins some of the truly sick justifications seen for such extreme actions.

Psychologically, individuals on the far left are experiencing constant resentment, anger, hatred, and jealousy towards those they perceive as happy or successful. They often feel deeply insecure about their appearance, abilities, and status, and exhibit incredible difficulty with emotional regulation.

Studies (such as Mental Illness on The Left) indicate a strong elevation of mental illness among young people on the left, particularly young women. This mental instability is linked to a higher propensity for "instrumental harm," where violence is justified for a perceived "greater good". Narcissistic tendencies are also identified, where individuals prone to violence fear being unmasked or having their sense of moral superiority challenged.

The online "rage bait" and mockery of Kirk's death, is seen as a public performance designed to provoke anger and gain social credibility within their liberal communities. This behaviour is a spiritual corruption stemming from a loss of moral and spiritual tradition, where empathy, divorced from justice, devolves into chaos and justifies harm against perceived non-empathetic individuals.

These are the "lost children of the liberal boomers," who, having broken from tradition, have become feral and spiritually undeveloped. The societal condition is likened to C.S. Lewis's "Men Without Chests," where individuals lack a moral core, leading to civilisational imbalance. The broader spiritual crisis is further linked to the "death of God" concept, fostering a "last man" mentality that reduces life's meaning to "nothingness" and hinders self-preservation instincts.

Broader Societal Context

The assassination is placed within a broader narrative of societal decay, marking a new chaotic era, and the ending of the liberal project. It was as a watershed moment.

It is the Left who have become radicalised, with their intollerence, hatred and justifications for violence intensifying. They have become that which they claim to oppose - intolerant and radical totalitarians.

Another layer of irony is that, because of the actions of the Left, many on the Right are viewing the assassination as a galvanising event, prompting anger and a desire for unified action to "end this system".

Donald Trump's political stance is increasingly viewed as "not radical enough" to address the current climate, not only the increasing aggression, but the media's unwillingness to explore the radicalisation of the left, and the media's role in fanning the flames, pushing almost exclusively a Progressive, anti-"conservative" (not to mention anti-White) narratives and values.

So the Left have summoned the thing they wanted to avoid - a shift towards more radical right-wing voices. The event has led to increased paranoia and a desire for self-protection among conservatives, with parallels drawn to the aftermath of the September 11th Attacks in terms of societal impact and the formation of self-protective communities.

The situation should really be framed as a spiritual war between theose who are in rebellion fron God, the non-traditional ideological materialist utopianism, who yearn for their own "sacred order" where identity is dissolved, and where essence follows existence.

Society is breaking down, and will surely lead to balkanisation, splintering into warring subgroups. The hope for the future, for some, lies in a spiritual awakening and a return to God and His fundamental traditions.
