Charlie's Death: Raw Epitome of the Left

A student steps up to the mic ready for his gotcha moment with Charlie.

Student: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last ten years?”

Charlie: “Too many.”

Student: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last ten years?”

Charlie: “Counting or not counting gang violence—

A shot rings out. Charlie is hit.

We later find out the gunman killed Charlie because he didn’t like his views, specifically regarding transgenderism and that he also has a transgender partner.

It’s such a tragic event and at the same time it gives us so much insight into the liberal/leftist mindset and how it fundamentally differs from the right.

The thought process of people on the right begins with collecting data, then analyzing it, and then formulating their thoughts on what is right or wrong, true or untrue, likely or unlikely. The emotions they embody are the result of this process.  

The thought process of people on the left begins with the end goal in mind and then works backwards, cherry picking data that supports it. It starts first with emotion which then formulates thoughts. The truth doesn’t matter for them like this student who tried to show up Charlie.

But the student is just a product and a microcosm of the larger liberal apparatus: media, politicians, academia, Hollywood. Their end goal is to create a narrative based on their emotional attachment to it, not report the truth, even if it hurts the overall good of the country.  And they know the best way to accomplish this is by appealing to people’s most base emotions: fear, hate, envy, etc. This is why they constantly purport “systemic racism” or the “greedy rich” and why they constantly refer to Trump and MAGA supporters as Nazis, fascists, and being a “threat to democracy.” There are countless examples but one by Joe Biden will suffice: “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”

Creating narratives that lead to clueless kids asking clueless questions is one thing, but it’s entirely another when they lead to others pulling triggers. It’s no coincidence the killer had “anti-fascist” on his rifle. He was so emotionally stirred up by these narratives that his emotion overrode his ability to reason—to distinguish between the most basic form of right and wrong; good and evil. And the same can be said for all those who celebrated, which, by the way, is the biggest telltale of who they really are.

I write this particularly for our young Americans who, because of this crazy time we are now living in, are conflicted by what to believe in, what to value, and what to stand for. Don’t be led astray by people trying to appeal to your emotions. If there’s a silver lining to Charlie’s death, it’s that what happened that day—including the circumstances that led to it and the aftermath of people’s reaction—should clearly reinforce what you already know, intuitively in your heart, what is right and what is wrong. This was Charlie’s ultimate goal stepping into the lion’s den of these college campuses. He wanted to help young Americans see right from wrong; to help them not succumb to the woke mind virus.

Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk.
