Charlie Kirk’s murder has already been news-cycled

Posted on      by     

Kirk’s assassination was a horror unique among high profile murders. There was an element of nihilism to it, as if none of this really matters if the worst of them can get to the best of us in the way they did with Charlie. It’s hard to believe the headlines, and it was difficult to watch what appeared to be an exploitation of his death, and it’s been far more difficult to see this horrific event left in the cloud of dust kicked up by the endless news cycle. His memorial was strange: less a solemn remembrance than an opportunistic mega rally. Maybe he’d want that, maybe not. The jubilance felt like a harbinger, a knell warning of…something. Kirk himself seemed to be lost among the pageantry. And now it feels he’s lost to us entirely, as if he simply ceased to exist, rather than ripped from this world in a horrific geyser of blood.

For one brief shining moment, it felt like Charlie’s death opened a gateway to…something more meaningful than what we’ve got. Time appeared to stop, and many of us seemed to momentarily awaken from our news-cycle stupor to demand more fundamental action. But that will has evaporated, Kirk’s death has spun through the cycle, and we’ve reverted back to the mindless consumption of 24-hour news. Do we not want more? What is the goal, what is this all for, if not for the midwifing of a new world, a gift for our children and grandchildren? Catalyzing events, even horrific ones, are the axis upon which history pivots. Did we flunk one possible destiny?

There’s a good chance his release leads to more murders.

REAL ID is a joke

Posted on      by     

The purpose of REAL ID is to corral and further subjugate the law-abiding, not to prevent crime or “terrorism”. This latest revelation, that REAL ID-certified CDLs and ID cards were doled out to people who didn’t even make the effort to give a phony name, confirms what we already knew.

A case for severe punishment of a certain type of animal

Posted on      by     

The defunct practice of drawing and quartering convicted criminals appears horrifying and inhumane until you come across someone like Brice Rhodes, whereupon the reasonableness of the practice sets in. What is “the law” for, if not to eliminate, swiftly and harshly, rabid animals like this? Why do we, as a society, have no stomach for even a small degree of punishment more severe than what is currently meted out? But for some reason we’re perfectly fine with hundreds or thousands of Rhodes’ butchering the innocent on a daily basis? Freaks like this don’t understand much, but they understand pain, and punishment. The rationale for harsh punishment is to cause violent thugs to stop and think before they rape again, kill again, beat and rob again. If Rhodes here were dropped into a crocodile pit immediately after his conviction, with an HD livestream, how many future lives would be saved? Or, more realistically, if he rode the lightning or was executed via firing squad, how many women and children might not be executed by his ilk in the future? Our hearts appear to bleed selectively, and at great cost.

A typical day in the English panopticon

Notice how British police are unarmed, unathletic, and completely nonthreatening from a physical perspective. Ever wonder why? It’s because England’s entire police force is dedicated to policing the law-abiding. Policing the good citizens who would never think of physically resisting an officer’s orders. The large population of law-abiding English, their every word and movement is scrutinized for wrongthink, and they cower and allow this to go on and on. Do they ever stop and wonder what the lives of their children will be like? Do they feel a sense of pride in the government they are handing down to their children and grandchildren? Or do they care? Has the demoralization campaign finally snuffed out their will to rebellion?
