1/ Let's talk about this:
First, there is no such thing as the "progressive gaze." It helps to remember that Rigney & his boss not only are two major proponents of the antichrist idea that empathy is evil, but both also protected an employee who molested a student in their care.

2/ Second, there is NO such thing as a progressive Christians. Nor is there such a thing as a conservative Christian. There are only two types of Christians: Those who act like Christ, emulate him sacrificially, follow his mission and enact it as He did ... and those who don't.
3/ 99% of the time, those Meg, Joe, Wilson, etc label as "progressive" are merely believers who picked up Christ's Cross and followed Him. Meg is the darling Evangelical Eva Braun of this era, and sells her words to people like pro-slavery Wilson and pedophile Trump.
4/ But even taking the above into account, she isn't wrong. Charlie's death IS exposing indoctrination. Namely, the indoctrination that has suborned christians like Meg. Meg, who poses as virtuous and a bastion of faithful Christianity ... is far from it.
5/ Putting aside the way she sells her words and face to the highest bidder (honestly, who defends an open kinist and pro-slavery proponent) ... it helps to consider Meg's personal views and the space she now inhabits.
6/ A brief, and incomplete list: She's utterly given to Christian Nationalist heresy. She's openly reposted a woman who rehashes known KKK apologia. She does fluff pieces for a sex molester protector.
7/ She cried about people publishing or working through companies that employ non-cis people ... and then mysteriously went silent in cowardice when she was outed as an author published by a company doing the same.
8/ And of course, the cherry on top is the most predictable: She is a supporter of a pedophile protector, adjudicated rapist, and self-confessed molester.
Friends, moral compromise eats at the soul and body. Don't be like Meg.

9/ PS: Charlie's murder was horrific. It should never have happened. I'm glad he was, at least, a Christian ... and is now with Christ. I pray healing for his fam. At the same time, CK said openly racist things that are indefensible. Meg hates that fact but can't counter it.
10/ So she attacks anyone who mentions it. Charlie could have said "I don't like Michelle Obama and I think she's dumb." Stupid to do so as a college dropout when she was summa cum laude and top of her Harvard law class, but he could say it.
11/ Instead he said she was too dumb, and made clear he didn't like her ... and then added "You took a white persons slot." Friends, that is openly and unrepentantly racist. There is no job that is inherently white.
12/ The reason why MAGA shills like Meg have to try to character-assassinate others, as she did with Moore and now with Cosper is because they can't defend the words Charlie uttered or their pedophile friend. And because deep inside, they think they same way he did.
13/ Now is it possible he was just performing? Sure. But if so, they're defending a performer who used racism as a punchline and grift. In the end there is no way to dance around many of the statements, positions, and arguments he used.
14/ That fact doesn't make his murder any less horrific. But it does mean the adults in the room have to grapple with the fact that he represented part of the good in humanity and parts of the bad. MAGA doesn't believe in complexity. Just simple idolatry.
