As I look at what continues to unfold, I believe we have to keep two key words in mind:
1. Rage 2. Celebration
The RW feels a justified Rage at this assassination. Too many on the Left are openly Celebrating the murder of Kirk. Historically, that is an explosive combination. 1/
First, rage is a basic, powerful human emotion. It is appropriate at times. When your side kills one of our leaders in cold blood in front of his wife & children, oh yeah - a period of rage should be expected.
What makes this not an isolated act of violence is the Celebration
2/
Very large numbers of Leftist began immediately celebrating the killing, saying that Kirk had it coming, and that it should happen to more fascists as well. These celebratory comments were popular on the Left.
That 1-2 combination has produced near instant wars before.
3/
One example is the almost instant eruption of the Yugoslavian civil war.
Another, that the Western media ignores, is the burning of ~25 Russian sympathizers alive in Odessa in 2014, and the immediate Celebration by many Ukranians. The Russians remember that, quite well.
4/
Burning people alive for their political beliefs is an outrage. Celebrating such deaths is a reason for white-hot fury, and as part of a series of events, this is one of the reasons that Ukraine is still at war 11 years later.
5/
Both words have to be understood together, to see where we are right now, and what may come next.
If you are not of the RW - don't deny us our right to feel rage. That's what political assassinations create.
And openly Celebrating the murder is where the true fury lies.
6/
It is the open & widespread Celebration of the killing of a prominent person on the Right for their political beliefs that is the true problem here.
Forget the shooter, I hope he is quickly executed. The vicious, hateful ghouls of the Left celebrating are the problem.

The biggest lesson of the last 3 days is that there are many millions who think it is not just fine but moral to kill the many millions who think like me
Alrighty then. That's where we're at.
History is replete with examples of what usually comes next. We need to avoid this 1/
"Those evil bastards want to wipe out my tribe? How bout we kill every one of those f*ckers first!"
That's not extreme thinking, it is a natural human process. It's why history consists of almost continuous warfare, and why numerous wars are raging around the world today.
2/
If we're to avoid this - and I very much want to avoid open warfare - then we need to be honest about the process. Intensive propaganda via institutional capture has been used to create something that is naturally human - to identify "others", and kill them.
3/
Loving, gentle, caring, compassionate mothers do very much exist, and I'm fortunate to be the husband of one.
But - that isn't the natural state. It takes a society & a culture many years to help nurture that side of womanhood.
Without such a culture, we get vicious bitches.
2/
The last several decades of pervasive Leftism has created millions of terrible people. Entirely self-centered, they spurn children (even while often being teachers), they often hate men - and they follow radical politics.
3/
People forget, but the world was a very different place before the globalization that followed the end of Bretton Woods. Markets were protected, exchange rates were fixed, and there were major legal restrictions on the movement of capital between countries.
2/
Canada was a stand-alone industrial power at that time & it had a small but first-rate military. When it came to industry, technology and self-defense, even thought it was on the small side, Canada could (mostly) take care of itself & its own needs for the standards of living.
3/
Absent major changes, the coming decades are likely to be very painful for Europe, Canada & Australia. They not only are not world powers, the general populations don't even understand what true power is. They will learn.
The rest of the West exists in a sheltered environment 1/
The day to day existence of the average Euro or Leaf is based upon American hegemony, even while looking down on Americans. They simply can't handle reality.
We now have the rise (again) of competing geopolitical blocs who do understand taking power.
2/
The Russian military is reality, to an extent that finance bros like the OP are incapable of understanding. Rock, paper, scissors, military power crushes market power every single time.
Europe is furious - and scared - because without the US military, they are pathetic.
3/
20-30 years ago, for the general public, Dems & Repubs were kind of like intramural sports team opponents. Yeah, we disagreed, but as members of the same tribe.
That is no longer true. Dems have moved so far radically ( and violently) left, that centrism or reasonableness, 1/
are just illusions at this point, that are dangerous for the public at large.
A critical part of the bioleninism that has consumed the Left, is the concept of victim hierarchies. Hierarchy, victimhood, and allowable behaviors, are defined by political hierarchies.
2/
The Left comes very close to openly celebrating the murders of Christian children by transsexuals, as we saw in Nashville before and in MN today.
A trans is a VICTIM. A Christian child in the Heartland is an OPPRESSOR. Ha, ha, yes, KILL THEM!
