On Charlie Kirk...

 "People should either be caressed or crushed. If you do them minor damage they will get their revenge; but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do, If you need to injure someone do it in such a way as you do not have to fear their vengeance ..." -- Niccolo Machiavelli

I watched a good deal of yesterday's coverage and I have but one complaint about the whole shebang:

There was entirely too much talk about conciliation and forgiveness. If it hadn't already been clear to anyone with three functioning braincells before last week, Kirk's murder and the reaction to it by many of the shitty side of the aisle rammed it up your ass sideways, without lube:

These people do not want your forgiveness. They do not want your Christian platitudes. They do not want your friendship. They see the offer of any of those as a weakness.

There is no negotiation here: they want you dead.

They want you dead because they cannot defeat you any other way. They're too lazy to do the work, so it's easier to kill and terrorize you. Dead man, problem disappears. That's their algebra.

Sez me, a major part of the reason Charlie was shot was because he had a habit of making leftists look stupid (something not all that difficult to do with regularity) and then posted their fucktard on the internet for everyone to see and then watched as millions of others flamed them in the comments sections.

If there's anything any hardcore leftist fanatic hates more than a job it is to be mocked. Relentlessly.

Understand this, if you understand nothing else, there is nothing on this planet more-dangerous than a self-righteous,  self-important, self-selected, wanna-be elitist who has been publicly shamed -- and will be in perpetuity because the internet is forever -- and shown up to be a mentally-stunted, low-IQ, ridiculously-ill-informed, completely batshit moron.

And because these people are eternal children, when they are denied whatever shiny object they want and when they've been boxed in by people who are demonstrably smarter, better-prepared, and armed with the authority of arguments that cannot be overcome by appeals to raw emotion and a crowd of similar dullards, they lash out.

I am not advocating that we start shooting back (although that is a fantastic idea, on it's face) I'm predicting that the gushing sort of turn-the-other-cheek Christian virtues bullshit is about as effective in combatting the problem of left-wing political violence as Weight Watchers and a dental plan were for Stacey Abrams.

These people shit all over your Christian pieties, as they don't respect them or recognize such as valid. They've been quite good at taking advantage of those virtues for decades now, or when no advantage can be found in making you live up to your professed values, dismissing them out of hand.

"But, Charlie wanted it this way...".

Yes, and today Charlie is dead.

All those speakers, in a sense, were preaching to the choir. As a political response to what has happened, it's a brilliant move. As a practical course of action -- love overcoming hate -- it's the same playbook the right has been using, and losing, with for decades.

God did not prevent Charlie from being shot, nor did She prevent the spread of evil and stupidity beforehand (I reckon God is female to judge by the results; only a woman could fuck up this badly and still demand to be thanked, praised, feared, obeyed and financially supported for it). God, apparently, is asleep at the switch and cannot be relied upon.

Some of you reading this will chastise me and inform me that God works on Her own timetable, that it is not for me to question the Almighty Fuckup who does mysterious things for no apparent reason except to dodge Her primary responsibility (to defeat Evil), but I will respond with the following: when you look at the decline of Western Civilization, the eroding of the Judeo-Christian ethic, the complete laundry list of unmitigated evil that occurs on a daily basis, to continue to rely upon "faith" to solve practical problems is to surrender before the fight truly begins.

God is not paying attention, in case you haven't noticed.

What's my solution, then? Well, in a perfect world, there would be an intensive program of non-judicial arrests, public floggings and hangings, and a well-run program of mass street executions, to be followed by a release of vultures, but this is impractical for a variety of reasons.

So, you have to do the next best things.

Destroying USAID was a good start; the left was largely funded by that scam, but it doesn't go far enough, because while Communists claim to disdain money, they still realize it is necessary to have some, and so their billionaire backers have to be brought to heel. Those assholes are perfectly willing to part with money they hardly need in order to buy a dispensation so as to be eaten last when Marx's predicted prole uprising begins, but will quickly retreat and cower under their rocks when it is made clear that if a single dollar that went to an attack on an ICE facility, or purchased a brick for ANTIFA, or which funds a bullshit district attorney dedicated to releasing violent criminals can be traced back to you, then you are civilly and criminally liable as an accessory.

The next step is to start the process of destroying the nests these little bags of shit live in. That means the so-called "social sciences" departments of the university system, which turn out vitriolic, hyperbolic sludge on an industrial scale, because what else do fat, bitter, ugly, stupid, unfuckable lesbians do to earn their daily bread, except to find ways to destroy the society that rejected them?

And it's not only the social sciences; obviously, the same establishments that turn out "Education Majors" has more than a few demented individuals among their numbers. All one needs to do is to read the X feeds of self-proclaimed "educators" to see it. The explosive hate leaps off the screen. And again, this is because Charlie exposed their students as ill-informed retards, which reflects badly upon them. It is obvious that no one is being "educated' when simple questions like "what is a woman?" leave the questioned floundering like a landed fish, spewing boilerplate and slogans instead of facts and reasonable argument.

Finally, you need to weed out the dangerous among the bureaucracy, at all levels -- federal, state, county and municipality. You want to talk about negativity and pure hatred, read what some of these assholes have been posting online.

It seems that the more your livelihood and status are tied to government, the dumber, more-partisan and reflexively violent-minded you tend to be. That goes for the "professors", the bureaucrats, the unionized teachers and the professional "students".

(As an aside, the "professional student" is a common thing in America, today. Essentially, these are people who do nothing but collect government loans and grants, drag their educational process on forever or do the barest minimum in order to qualify for aid the following semester, but never graduate. It's another form of welfare. You see them regularly on the courtroom TV shows; the sort that uses "student aid" to buy cars they wreck, or to obtain apartments they get evicted from).

I am perfectly willing to toss them all out on their collective ass and  most of them would probably starve to death before they ever wised up.

However, the biggest takeaway, for me, of yesterday's memorial was this: the Left, having turned identity-based politics into an art form, should not be surprised when the white, Christian, heterosexual, conservative population finally -- FINALLY -- discovered that they have an identity, too, and that of all the identities, it's the one most worth fighting for, the rest being little more than crying, useless mouths.

If I were a leftist today, I'd be frightened. Even more frightened by that realization than I was before, when fear drove someone to put a bullet into someone else.

While the religious overtone of the event turned me off (frankly, it felt and sounded more like an old-time Baptist revival than memorial service) the spectacle of that many people turning out for the memorial of someone who was not a President,  a King nor a Nobel laureate, was noteworthy and effective in putting the left on notice.

What happens next? 

Until the scourges of socialism and communism, the disgusting and disingenuous use of race, gender and all the rest of it, the corruption and graft erected by the Left, the disinformation, lies, and misdirection are purged from American Society, Charlie died for nothing.

JD Vance talked a good game, as did Marco Rubio, as did several of the speakers (I did not see Trump's speech, so I shall reserve judgement) on the need to restore liberty, and freedom and yada, yada, yada, and the flag-waving was impressive, we're gonna need a whole lot more than prayers and Jesus.
