I am an older person that experienced the MLK and the Kennedys assassinations Even though there were people that disagreed with the policies of those incredible people; their deaths almost universally caused the population to recoil in horror. Unlike those martyrs Mr Charles Kirk did not attempt to propound an alternate social order nor did he attempt to gain a direct reward of a position or political station.
He was a man that held extremely deep rooted political, social and religious beliefs. He appeared as a gentle, kind and non-judgemental man that wanted to discuss these tenets with people, especially with those with different beliefs. He focused on addressing young adults, however he did not in any way limit these discussions to that audience. The fact that Mr. Kirk's views would at times sharply contrast with those of today's enlightened populace was the primary reason that he participated in attempting to promulgate his views. In doing so he did not try the demand that others conform to these beliefs, instead he presented them in a logical order and then asked the audience to attempt to dispute them; in his words - prove him wrong.
Unfortunately, this is anathema to the reasoning of a weak, decadent and immoral society. One in which deviation from the "truth" is not tolerated.
Ours has become a society that has invested many years and thousands of dollars to obtain an education which they believe has made them enlightened and all knowing. The truth being that far too often all of that time and money has been spent on obtaining a degree or knowledge in areas that really have little or no application to everyday life. When these people emerge into actual not an academic society they find themselves helpless and bewildered. They are unable to conduct analytical and critical thinking and tend to blindly follow the lead of those that surround them, all of which are acting in a similar fashion. They have no compass to assist them to make their way through these times, Those that do advance in this morass find themselves in positions, often with large power, in which they are unable to actually handle. These people, successful or not, become frightened of life, career, and circumstances as they lack the ability to think critically. So they blindly follow the "experts".
Should you question their positions, even slightly, you unknowingly are challenging their entire ethos. In doing so you scare the hell out of them and initiate fear and panic. Those with beliefs this tenuous will view those that expound other views not as someone that is merely expressing a different view but rather as an apostate, a "non-believer", one that cannot be tolerated. You are not permitted to think or act differently or you become a threat. How do you counter this deviation from the "chosen norm"? You label the proponent with the most vile terms possible, like Nazi, fascist, racist, deplorable, garbage, etc. You repeat this over and over until you are convinced that your views and only your views are permitted for they are the "good" choices.
When this method of thinking is being performed by an individual it is bad enough; the incorporation of this litany by the groups, the mass media and a political party creates an emotional thermal runaway situation. A situation that too often explodes in violence being taken to stifle any differing views.
These actions were initiate by Global Warming and refined and groomed during COVID. Turn in your neighbor, isolate, debank, confine, imprison the heretic that questions the shot. The media, comics, hosts, actors, doctors, "experts", you know Mr "I am science" all led the charge, sharpened the talons of the masses and prompted them to act. However I digress.
Along comes Mr. Kirk. He presents opinions that differ from those blessed by the hallowed doyens of these people , the experts. Strangely when discussed or evaluated though Mr. Kirk's positions seem to be unchallengeable. Yet he does not demand that you alter your own to comply. Instead he has merely has shown the hollowness of your decisions which frightens you. This cannot stand, he is anathema and a threat. As such it is only a matter of time until someone decides to eliminate that threat. This theory can explain why this has occurred and also explain the vicious and vile comments that have occurred regarding his death. Unfortunately this process has occurred many times throughout history and far too many victims have been demonized by the masses.
Mr. Kirk was a kind, gentle and astute man. A loving husband and father. His family must be suffering an unbearable loss. As is the World. Why is it that we seem to destroy those that try to help us the most?
To the Kirk family I say that you were privileged to know and be involved with an incredibly wonderful man. It is my fondest wish that you would have been able to continue to experience this incredible nature. I wish I could have been one tenth of the man he was.
Bless you all!
